It seemed like all the manufacturers listed shifters specifically for their IGH hubs. That caused me to think IGH shifters are different. But, the Nexus twist shifter feels like it's indexed the same as any twist shifter.

Thanks.
There are some alternative shifter options out there:

Edit: looks like the Versa one only works with Nexus 8.
