PRECISE, CONSISTENT & CUSTOMIZABLE
FEEL EVERY SHIFT. TUNE IT YOUR WAY.
Bring the feel of a real sequential gearbox to your simulator with the Heusinkveld MagShift.
Its patented magnetic shift mechanism is designed to reproduce the sharp, satisfying engagement of a race-car sequential shifter while maintaining consistent performance over time.
Shift force can be adjusted from 4.5 to 11 kg, with overall force, upshift force, and downshift force configurable independently. This lets you recreate different vehicle characteristics or simply tune the shifter around your preferred feel.
Three tactile push buttons integrated into the base turn MagShift into a compact button box for functions such as lights, wipers, pit limiter, handbrake, or launch control. With SmartControl, the shifter lever and buttons can be configured to trigger up to 10 functions.
Opto-electronic sensors eliminate mechanical sensor wear, while the included U-shaped bracket provides adjustment for height, tilt, and yaw to help position the shifter comfortably within your simulator.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A sequential shifter is not strictly necessary for sim racing, but it can enhance the experience, especially if you enjoy realism or are focused on certain types of racing. Whether you need one depends on the kind of racing you do:
- Rally or Off-Road Racing: For games like Dirt Rally or WRC, a sequential shifter can be a great addition, as many rally cars use sequential gearboxes. It gives a more authentic feel when shifting through gears.
- Touring or GT Racing: In racing games like iRacing or Assetto Corsa, some cars use sequential gearboxes. Having a sequential shifter can provide a more realistic feel when driving these cars, as it mimics the actual shifting mechanism.
- Formula or Open-wheel Racing: These cars typically use paddle shifters instead of sequential gearboxes. In these cases, a sequential shifter is unnecessary, and paddle shifters or a traditional H- pattern shifter would suffice if you prefer a more realistic
setup. - Personal Preference: If you enjoy the tactile feeling of shifting gears manually, a sequential shifter can add a lot of immersion, especially if you prefer racing cars that use
them in real life.
In conclusion, while it’s not essential for all types of si racing, a sequential shifter can definitely add to the experience for certain types of racing, especially if you’re aiming for a more authentic and immersive setup.
With the exact mounting dimensions(link) you can easily check if the MagShift can be mounted directly on your Rig.
To adjust the force required for up/down shifting: Insert 2 torx keys (6) simultaneously into adjustment bolts (one on each side). Turn counterclockwise to Loosen the screws. Leave both hex keys inserted move adjustment slider to new position. Make sure the slider sits straight Re-tighten the screws. Do not overtighten.
