The Heusinkveld MagShift is a GT-style sequential shifter with a patented 3-way magnetic shift system (overall, upshift and downshift force adjustable between 4.5 and 11 kg), wear-free opto-electronic sensors and an integrated mini button box.
Engineered to deliver a truly mechanical shift feel — with a sharp “click” on every gear — the MagShift is perfect for rally, GT, touring cars and classic racing. Its steel and aluminium construction, wear-free electronics and highly configurable mounting make it one of the most versatile, realistic and durable sequential shifters in professional sim racing.
