Product Information

Full details

The Heusinkveld MagShift is a premium sequential shifter designed for dedicated sim racers who demand high-fidelity tactile feedback and versatility across rally, GT, and touring car disciplines. It features a patented magnetic system for a realistic gear-click sensation, offering extreme adjustability up to 11kg of force. While its robust design and opto-electronic sensors ensure long-term durability, the device is a specialized piece of hardware that requires a stable cockpit mount to handle the higher resistance settings effectively.

FAQs

Can I use the MagShift as an H-pattern shifter?

No, the MagShift is specifically designed as a sequential shifter.

Does it require external power?

No, the device is powered entirely through its USB connection.

Can I share profiles with other Heusinkveld devices?

Yes, SmartControl allows you to create unified profiles that include the MagShift, handbrakes, and pedals.

How many outputs can I configure per shift?

Using SmartControl, you can expand the input to 10 fully customizable outputs including buttons and keyboard keystrokes.

Is the mounting bracket compatible with all rigs?

It is designed for standard aluminum profiles and most common simulator platforms; mounting hardware for these systems is included.

What is the maximum force the shifter can provide?

The peak force is adjustable up to 11kg at the lever.

Troubleshooting

Shifts are not being registered in-game

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected and that the device appears in the Heusinkveld SmartControl software; check your simulator's controller settings to ensure the axis or buttons are mapped correctly.

SmartControl software does not detect the shifter

Ensure you are using the latest version of SmartControl and that the firmware for your device is up to date.

The shifter feels too stiff or too loose

Open the adjustment settings in SmartControl and manually tune the upshift and downshift force variables to match your preference (range 4.5kg to 11kg).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Mounting: Use the provided U-bracket to attach the shifter to your simulator rig. The bracket is optimized for aluminum profile systems and requires only two bolts for a secure installation.
  2. Connection: Connect the device via USB directly to your PC. It is a plug-and-play unit that Windows will recognize immediately.
  3. Software Configuration: Download the Heusinkveld SmartControl software to unlock the full potential of the device, including the 10-output customization and profile switching.
  4. Profile Management: Use SmartControl Live to toggle between different force profiles on the fly without exiting your simulator session.
