The Heusinkveld MagShift sequential shifter delivers a highly realistic mechanical shift feel with adjustable magnetic resistance and precise input detection for serious sim racing setups. KEY BENEFITS Delivers a realistic gear engagement feel that improves immersion and confidence Allows fully customizable shift resistance for personalized driving preference Ensures long term reliability with contactless sensor technology Adds functional control with integrated buttons for quick in-race adjustments Supports advanced input mapping for more efficient racing workflows WHO IT’S FOR This shifter is designed for sim racers who want a high-end sequential shifting experience with tunable resistance and consistent performance. It is ideal for GT, touring car, rally, and drift drivers who rely on precise gear changes. Whether you are building a professional rig or upgrading from entry-level hardware, this solution supports both competitive and enthusiast use cases. KEY FEATURES The Heusinkveld MagShift sequential shifter uses a magnetic resistance system to replicate the mechanical feel of real race car gear engagement. The resistance can be adjusted across three parameters, allowing independent tuning of overall force, upshift force, and downshift force. Opto-electronic sensors detect each shift without physical contact, eliminating wear and ensuring consistent input over time. The integrated button box includes three assignable buttons for quick access to functions such as pit limiter, neutral, or camera controls. When paired with SmartControl software, the system expands to support advanced input mapping with multiple outputs triggered from a single action. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Product type: Sequential shifter Shift mechanism: Magnetic resistance system Adjustability: Independent control of overall, upshift, and downshift force Sensors: Opto-electronic, contactless Connectivity: USB plug and play Buttons: 3 integrated programmable buttons Software: Compatible with Heusinkveld SmartControl Mounting: Base unit designed for sim racing rigs REAL-WORLD USE / EXPERIENCE In practice, the Heusinkveld MagShift sequential shifter provides a strong and deliberate shift action that closely mimics real motorsport hardware. You can dial in a heavier upshift for aggressive driving or a lighter downshift for smoother control under braking. The magnetic system creates a defined click into each gear, giving clear feedback without mechanical wear. Combined with reliable sensor input and customizable button functions, it becomes a central control point in your rig that improves consistency and reduces missed shifts during high-pressure racing scenarios.
