YOUR MODULAR FOUNDATION FOR INTERLOCK
Start building your Interlock setup with the GSI Interlock Base Module + Rim.
Designed as a straightforward entry into GSI's modular Interlock ecosystem, the system gives you a configurable core that can grow with additional paddle shifters, clutches, an LED Matrix, and compatible rim options.
The control architecture provides 42 mappable inputs through 12 push-buttons, two thumb encoders, two high-precision 5-way encoders, and two 7-way switches. Available N52 shifters and HSE clutches let you expand the setup further.
Addressable RGB lighting supports illuminated buttons, encoders, and a 4 + 15 + 4 telemetry strip. The system is also designed to support the optional LED Matrix for additional gear, flag, and alert animations.
A matte brushed aluminium front plate, aluminium unibody, perforated faux leather handles, and scratch-resistant polycarbonate buttons complete the lightweight construction.
The Interlock platform is also prepared for compatible USB-C passthrough quick releases, including the upcoming GSI Powerlink-QR, with dynamic power switching between compatible passthrough QR and coiled-cable connections.
