Is he on flat bars or drops? Microshift makes shifters that are compatible with the sora der for either, but the ones I have for my kids are only compatible with the Acolyte derailleurs that I installed.
Their flat bar shifters for shimano derailleurs have a shorter throw than shimano, but not any easier IME. Their shimano compatible drop bar shifters are a solid replacement option for budget repairs, but not easier than shimano to shift. Different, but not easier.

Just bought my son his first road bike and he’s struggling with the downshift. Was considering the Microshift shifters myself. His bike currently has a Shimano sora RD, would this be compatible with the new shifters?
