Heusinkveld MagShift Sequential Shifter

MagShift is the perfect sequential shifter for rally cars, GT cars, touring cars, and classic racing. Upgrade your simulator with the most versatile shifter available — packed with extra features. Feel the gears click into place with the innovative magnetic shift system.

Overview

Heusinkveld MagShift is a large, GT-style sequential shifter packed with smart features. The compact base houses the magnetic shift system, delivering a satisfying click with every gear change — just like in a real race car.

Adjustability

Set your feel your way: the magnetic system is 3-way adjustable. Adjust overall force, upshift force, and downshift force individually. Simulate a soft downshift and firm upshift — or crank the feel to match real racing cars.

Sensors & Electronics

Shift detection is handled by opto-electronic sensors — no physical wear, just reliable, long-term performance. It’s fully plug-and-play: just connect via USB and map functions in your favorite sim software.

Mini Button Box

Control more, faster. MagShift includes 3 programmable buttons on its base. Assign them freely in your sim software — or unlock even more power with Heusinkveld SmartControl.

SmartControl allows you to configure up to 10 customizable outputs using the lever and buttons. You can assign joystick buttons, keyboard commands, modifiers, and more — including primary and secondary triggers with custom delays or conditions.

Create multiple profiles for different cars or titles, then switch between them in seconds using SmartControl Live.

Shared profiles with other SmartControl devices

Already use Heusinkveld pedals or handbrake? Combine settings across multiple SmartControl-compatible devices into a single profile — and manage them all at once.

SmartControl Live

This live-running software lets you switch profiles while driving. For example: swap the direction of up/downshifts with a single button press — mid-session.
