The Ascher Racing Gen6 Double Paddle Shifter is a set of magnetic paddle shifters for sim racing, with a contactless Hall sensor and sealed IP67 electronics, designed from the ground up for motorsport applications and compatible exclusively with Ascher Racing McLaren Esports wheels.
They inherit the technology of the McLaren Artura GT4 to deliver a firm, quiet and perfectly consistent shift feel on every gear. Working contactless and with no internal mechanical switches, they keep an identical snap-action response after millions of actuations, with no play, no temperature drift and no need for calibration. They are sold as a pair (two shifters) to equip both sides of the wheel.
Key features of the Gen6 Double Paddle Shifter
- Magnetic function with a firm, defined snap-action response, play-free thanks to preloaded ball bearings.
- Contactless Hall sensor (N-S orientation) with unlimited electrical life and a stable signal without additional filters.
- Damped rubber stops at both ends for quieter operation.
- Sealed IP67 electronics and ultra-low 40 µA consumption, ideal for wireless wheels.
- CNC-machined automotive aluminium with a black anodised finish and laser engraving.
- No calibration required, no temperature or time drift and more than 20 million mechanical actuations.

Frequently asked questions
Which wheels is the Gen6 Double Paddle Shifter compatible with?
It is compatible exclusively with the Ascher Racing McLaren Esports wheels, thanks to its identical mounting points for easy swapping.
Why does it use magnetic Hall sensors?
The contactless Hall sensor removes the internal mechanical switches, which means unlimited electrical life, no play and a stable signal with no drift or need for calibration.
What is the difference between the GT and Formula paddles?
The magnetic mechanism is the same; only the shape of the included paddles changes. The GT paddles suit GT and endurance cars, and the Formula paddles suit formula-style single-seaters.
How long do they last?
They are designed for more than 20 million mechanical actuations, with sealed IP67 electronics and no drift from temperature or time.
Do they need calibration?
No. The Hall sensor delivers a stable signal without additional filters and needs no calibration or adjustment over time.
What is in the box?
Two Gen6 shifters, two four-pin connection cables and the mounting hardware (8× M3x8, 4× 6 mm spacers and 8× M3x14). Depending on the option chosen, 2 Formula or 2 GT paddles are added.
