Gold Coast, Australia – May 1, 2025,
Next Level Racing®, a global leader in simulation hardware, today proudly announces the launch of the Next Level Racing® HF8 Pro Haptic Feedback Gaming Pad, the latest evolution in immersive gaming technology. Built for racing and flight simulation enthusiasts, the HF8 Pro delivers unmatched haptic power, precision, and customization — setting a new standard for tactile feedback in the simulation space.
Building on the global success of the original HF8, the HF8 Pro introduces over 200% increased torque, 400% more motor power, 60% faster motor RPM, and a new 75fps real-time haptics system, creating deeper, sharper, and faster sensations than ever before. Whether it’s the rumble of the racetrack or the turbulence of the skies, the HF8 Pro brings every moment to life with pinpoint accuracy.
“We designed the HF8 Pro to elevate immersion for sim racers and pilots around the world,” said Hess Ghah, CEO of Next Level Racing®. “By combining powerful upgrades in torque, speed, and real-time responsiveness with comfort improvements like SIMAERO Mesh and enhanced foam padding, the HF8 Pro delivers an experience that is sharper, stronger, and more lifelike than ever before — all while remaining at an affordable price point for our community. It’s a true step forward for the simulation space and a product we are incredibly proud of.”

The HF8 Pro features eight individually controlled haptic zones, allowing users on PC to customize feedback intensity and assign specific effects—such as engine RPM, braking, turbulence, and gear shifts—through the included HFS software or SimHub integration.
Designed for endurance, the HF8 Pro now features a breathable SIMAERO™ Mesh fabric to promote airflow during long gaming sessions and high-density molded foam for improved pressure distribution and comfort. Adjustable straps ensure a secure fit across a wide range of racing and flight simulator seats.
