About This Product
The Heusinkveld MagShift is a premium, fully adjustable sequential shifter featuring a patented magnetic shift system that provides a realistic, mechanical feel. With customizable shifting force, reliable opto-electronic sensors, and compatibility with SmartControl software, the MagShift brings professional-grade performance to your simulator setup.
The Heusinkveld MagShift is designed to emulate the tactile experience of a real sequential gearbox. Utilizing a magnetic ball spring system, this shifter provides an early peak in shifting force, mimicking the satisfying click of a gear change. The force can be set from 4.5 to 11kg, allowing users to dial in the intensity to their preference, simulating the feel of racing in GT, rally, touring, or vintage cars. Opto-electronic sensors enable accurate and wear-resistant shift detection, delivering smooth and reliable operation for years of immersive racing.
The MagShift’s innovative design offers unparalleled customization. Three different shifter levers with varying lengths and a choice of three mounting points allow for tailored adjustment to suit your sim rig. The included U-shaped bracket provides flexible mounting solutions, with height, tilt, and yaw adjustments, ensuring an ergonomic fit in any setup.
SmartControl
With Heusinkveld SmartControl software, the MagShift’s potential expands further. SmartControl allows users to map up to 10 outputs through the shifter lever and its three auxiliary buttons, with the ability to assign joystick buttons or keyboard commands. Each input can be configured with primary and secondary functions, which can be triggered in sequence, simultaneously, or with time delays. SmartControl profiles enable easy switching between different setups, making the MagShift adaptable for various racing scenarios.
SmartControl Live, running in the background during gameplay, enhances flexibility by allowing on-the-fly adjustments to shifting settings and profiles, optimizing performance across different vehicles and racing conditions.
MagShift Sequential Shifter Overview
Description
The most versatile sequential shifter on the market. Patented magnetic shift system, individually adjustable upshift, downshift and overall force.

Heusinkveld MagShift is a large, GT-style sequential shifter packed with extra features. The compact base-unit houses the innovative magnetic shift system which simulates the feel of an actual gear clicking into place.
Adjustability
The magnetic shift system is 3-way adjustable. The overall force, upshift force and downshift force can all be set individually. This for example allows you to set a firm upshift and soft downshift if you wish to do so. At the firmest setting you’ll be able to simulate the forces as experienced in real race cars.
Sensors & Electronics
Opto-electronic sensors are used to detect shifts. This means that there is no wear on electronic components, ensuring reliable operation for years to come. The system is plug-and-play, after connecting MagShift via USB you can immediately assign functions in your favorite simulator software.
Mini Button Box
Be in control with the 3 extra buttons in the base of the MagShift. Buttons can be assigned to any available function in your favourite simulator software.
Extra functions can be unlocked when you install Heusinkveld SmartControl software. With SmartControl, you can set up to 10 fully customizable outputs using the lever and the 3 buttons. You can trigger multiple outputs simultaneously, delayed or independently from a single input.
SmartControl Software
With Heusinkveld SmartControl you have the option to expand the outputs of the lever and the 3 extra buttons to a total of 10 fully customizable outputs. You can configure and customize the outputs using the easy-to-use editor in SmartControl.
For every single input you can configure a primary and secondary output. An output can be a selectable joystick button or any keyboard keystroke (including modifier keys such as Shift, Ctrl, Alt etcetera).
The primary and secondary output can be triggered simultaneously, delayed or independently. The functions are time-bound. How long you press a button or push/pull the lever determines whether the primary, secondary or both outputs are triggered.
You may want to use different settings depending on the car of software you drive. You can store different settings into a profile and change them with a few mouse clicks.
Shared profiles with other SmartControl compatible products: If you have other Heusinkveld products which use SmartControl, it is possible to create a single profile which includes multiple SmartControl compatible Heusinkveld devices. This allows you to change MagShift, Handbrake and pedal settings all at once.
SmartControl Live is software which is designed to run in the background while using your simulator. It allows you to switch between profiles created using SmartControl while driving. With MagShift, a possible use case would be to change the direction of up- and downshifts and the touch of a button.
If you want to learn more about SmartControl & SmartControl Live, make sure to check out the overview.
Mounting
Every MagShift comes with a U-shaped mounting bracket which makes mounting the shifter to your simulator super easy.
The U-brackets mounts to your simulator with just 2 bolts, ensuring a narrow profile of the overall installation. The MagShift is then attached to the bracket.
When mounted onto aluminium profiles, the MagShift only requires a single profile slot for mounting.
Mounting adjustments & dimensions
The mounting bracket allows for several adjustments to fine-tune the position of your MagShift:
- Yaw adjustment: by rotating the U-bracket relative to the mounting platform.
- Height adjustment: by choosing any of the 3 horizontal rows of mounting holes in the U-bracket.
- Tilt adjustment: by choosing any diagonal combination of the mounting holes in the U-bracket.
The height of the MagShift (from the bottom of the mounting bracket to the top of the lever) is as follows.
- 36,2 cm (14,25 in) when installed in the lowest position.
- 37,7 cm (14,84 in) when installed in the highest position.
The full mounting dimensions for MagShift can be seen here (all dimensions in mm).
Mounting materials
Mounting materials are supplied in order to attach the MagShift to most common simulator platforms. A selection of bolts (2 lenghts) and nuts (flange nuts and guided I-type slot 8 T-nuts) are included in the package. This makes installing the MagShift, especially onto aluminium profiles, super easy.
