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