Heusinkveld is a highly regarded brand that has had the trust of many Sim Racers with their pedal sets for quite some time. So we have been very eager to try out their Magshift sequential shifter to see if it lives up to the brand’s reputation for premium sim racing hardware. With innovative magnetic actuation and advanced control capabilities built into its compact design, this €370 shifter aims to deliver a more immersive racing experience. We’ve spent many hours testing the Magshift across multiple rigs to find out if this premium shifter brings enough innovation and refinement to justify its price tag, and whether it deserves a place in your sim racing setup. Join us as we dive deep into the features, build quality, software capabilities and real-world performance in this detailed review!
