Heusinkveld — Sim Racing Shifters

With the MagShift, Heusinkveld has engineered a sequential shifter that stands apart from anything else available in sim racing. At the heart of the design lies a patented magnetic shift mechanism housed in a compact laser-cut steel base, delivering a sharp, precise "clunk" with every gear change — the kind of tactile feedback that transforms a session behind the wheel into something genuinely immersive.

What makes the MagShift technically compelling is its 3-way force adjustment system. Upshift force, downshift force and overall resistance can each be tuned independently, with a range spanning from 4.5 to 11 kg at the lever. This level of granularity allows the driver to replicate the specific feel of a GT car, a touring car, a rally machine or a classic race car directly from their cockpit. Shift detection relies on opto-electronic sensors with no mechanical wear, ensuring consistent and reliable performance over millions of cycles. The MagShift is also a compact button box, with 3 integrated assignable buttons and up to 10 configurable outputs via the SmartControl software — covering everything from pit limiter to lights.

Installation is plug-and-play via USB, and the included U-bracket mounts to a single aluminium profile slot with just two bolts. At The French Simracer, the MagShift is our go-to recommendation for sim racers looking to complete a high-end setup with a shifter built to professional standards.
