Ascher Racing Gen6 Double Paddle Shifter – Professional Magnetic Shifter Inspired by Real Racing
The Ascher Racing Gen6 Double Paddle Shifter represents the next generation of magnetic paddle shifters, developed from the ground up for motorsport applications. Based on the technology used in the McLaren Artura GT4 , this system delivers a firm, precise, and absolutely consistent shift feel in every gear.
Designed specifically for Ascher Racing's McLaren Esports series , it's the ideal upgrade for those seeking a superior level in their racing simulator with an authentic mechanical feel and extreme durability.
A real sense of change, uncompromising precision
Every detail of the Gen6 has been optimized to deliver a direct, quiet, and play-free shifting experience.
Competitive advantages:
- Magnetic function with firm and defined “snap-action” response
- Contactless operation via Hall sensor (unlimited electrical lifespan)
- Completely backlash-free operation thanks to pre-tensioned ball bearings
- Noise reduction through damped rubber bumpers at both ends
- Sealed electronics with IP67 protection for maximum reliability
- Ultra-low power consumption (40 µA), ideal for wireless steering wheels
The result is a clean, stable, and precise gear change, even after millions of activations.
Key features of the Gen6 Double Paddle Shifter
- New generation of magnetic shifters developed for motorsport
- Compatible with all Ascher Racing McLaren Esports steering wheels
- Identical mounting points for easy component interchange
- CNC machining of high-quality automotive aluminum
- Black anodized finish with laser engraving
- Integrated minimal hysteresis for stable and noise-free changes
- No sensor calibration required
- Without drift due to temperature or passage of time
- More than 20 million mechanical activations
Compact dimensions and reduced weight: 84g per shifter (without paddles) .
Evolution compared to the previous generation (Gen5)
The Gen6 introduces key improvements that boost performance in a professional sim racing cockpit:
- Complete elimination of internal mechanical switches
- Non-contact Hall sensor (NS orientation, not intensity-based)
- Perfect output signal without the need for additional filters
- Greater smoothness and total absence of play
- Quieter and more refined operation
Each improvement is geared towards delivering a more robust, repeatable, and lasting change.
Available cam options
The system allows you to choose the configuration that best suits your driving style:
