From the very first time I tried it out on the exhibition floor, it really stuck in my mind. In Chicago, Dortmund and Maastricht, you get to try out so much sim racing hardware in such a short space of time that you\u2019ve forgotten about many of the products within five minutes. Not this one, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because it clicked the loudest or felt the most spectacular, but because it felt just right straight away. Sturdy, no-nonsense and mechanically precise enough to stand out without being obtrusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, a good impression at a trade fair is no guarantee of success. It\u2019s only at home that hardware really comes into its own. In my own setup, alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/go\/heusinkveld\/handbrake\/\" title=\"Heusinkveld Handbrake V2\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\"rel=\"nofollow sponsored \" target=\"_blank\">Heusinkveld Handbrake V2<\/a> And after weeks of testing it alongside other high-performance shifters, it becomes clear whether that first impression still holds true. In my triple-monitor setup, I\u2019m still using the Simagic Q1S Sequential Shifter, so the bar has now been raised beyond simply \u201cit clicks nicely\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dat is de echte vraag in deze Heusinkveld MagShift review: blijft die eerste indruk overeind wanneer de nieuwigheid eraf is? Of is dit zo\u2019n product dat op een beursvloer indruk maakt, maar thuis langzaam verdwijnt tussen andere goede hardware? De MagShift doet iets anders. Hij blijft terugkomen. Niet als de meest uitgesproken shifter of als de meest complexe, maar als een solide en betrouwbaar stuk hardware dat precies laat zien waarom less is more soms gewoon werkt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-2048x1151.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30642 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-2048x1151.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-1024x575.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-1536x863.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-18x10.jpg.webp 18w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-1920x1079.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-1170x658.jpg.webp 1170w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-585x329.jpg.webp 585w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-600x337.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-2048x1151.jpg&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-1920x1079.jpg 1920w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-23-600x337.jpg 600w&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary<\/strong>: Heusinkveld MagShift Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De Heusinkveld MagShift is een robuuste sequential shifter met een gepatenteerd magnetisch schakelmechanisme, een stevige metalen constructie en een klik die vooral overtuigt door consistentie. Hij maakt geen indruk met theater, maar met controle, bouwkwaliteit en een heel logisch gevoel naast de Heusinkveld Handbrake V2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Patented magnetic switching mechanism with a distinct physical click<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjustable shift force from 4.5 to 11 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upshift, downshift and overall force can be adjusted separately<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Particularly impressive alongside the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Essential for rally, rallycross, drifting, touring cars and classic cars; less essential for paddle-shift cars<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My test environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heusinkveld sent me the MagShift for review. But that doesn\u2019t affect my opinion. If something isn\u2019t up to scratch, I\u2019ll say so. With a brand that has such a strong reputation, the bar is set even higher, and I\u2019m happy to offer constructive criticism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tested this Heusinkveld MagShift review for over eight weeks on my Sim Lab P1X Ultimate, right next to the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2. This combination is important, because it is precisely next to the handbrake that much of the MagShift\u2019s character comes to the fore. The same robust appearance, the same functional approach and the same no-nonsense choice of materials ensure that both products feel more like a single control cluster than two separate accessories. You can find my in-depth review of the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2\u2019s review here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/en\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-lives-up-to-its-reputation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heusinkveld Handbrake V2 review<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve mainly used the MagShift in Assetto Corsa Rally, where combining it with a handbrake immediately makes sense. I\u2019ve also deliberately tested it in Automobilista 2 Rallycross and with more classic racing cars in games such as Assetto Corsa EVO and Automobilista 2. It is precisely with older GTs, touring cars and classic cars \u2013 where manual gear changes are part and parcel of the driving experience \u2013 that a good sequential shifter really shows whether it adds genuine value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1211\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/Scherm\u00adafbeelding-2026-05-02-om-21.50.05-2048x1211.png.webp\" alt=\"heusinkveld handbrake v2 review\" class=\"wp-image-29992 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-srcset=\"\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/Scherm\\u00adafbeelding-2026-05-02-om-21.50.05-2048x1211.png&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve also used the MagShift in iRacing and RaceRoom to see how it performs outside its most natural environment. I like to mix things up: one day rally or classic content, the next day GTs, prototypes or modern cars with paddle shifters. That\u2019s when you want to know whether a shifter is versatile enough, or whether it really shines in a specific niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the purposes of comparison, I have drawn primarily on my long-standing experience with the Simagic Q1S Sequential Shifter, supplemented by more limited experience with other high-end sequential shifters at trade fairs and events. This is not a laboratory comparison, but a practical assessment based on a wide range of real-world experiences with the hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unboxing: practical and well-packaged, exactly as you\u2019d expect from Heusinkveld<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The unboxing of the Heusinkveld MagShift is typical of Heusinkveld: neat, functional and well put together. Don\u2019t expect a lavish presentation as if you were unpacking a high-end steering wheel, but rather a box designed primarily to ensure the product arrives safely and in one piece. That suits the MagShift perfectly. This isn\u2019t hardware that derives its value from its packaging, but from what happens next, right there in your cockpit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the box, you\u2019ll find the MagShift itself, the USB cable, the U-shaped bracket, mounting materials, installation tools and the user manual. This basically gives you everything you need to mount the shifter on an aluminium profile rail and connect it to your PC via USB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs soon as you take the MagShift out of the box, you immediately realise where the money\u2019s gone: into the steel, the weight and the mechanics.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What struck me most when unpacking it was how immediately apparent the choice of materials is. The metal plates, the industrial finish and the compact design make it immediately clear what sort of product this is. No sleek exterior or plastic casing trying to hide the mechanics, but a robust shifter that looks as though it\u2019s designed to be used a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The included montag bracket is practical and sturdy enough for aluminium profile cockpits. If you\u2019re only fitting the MagShift, the installation is fairly straightforward. If you want to combine it with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2 on the same side of your cockpit, you\u2019ll need to give some thought beforehand to space, height and accessibility. The box contains everything you need for the shifter itself, but not for a perfectly integrated MagShift and Handbrake setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What's in the

Daarom draait de MagShift uiteindelijk om \u00e9\u00e9n vraag: vertaalt die techniek zich naar een shifter die in de praktijk natuurlijk voelt? In mijn geval is het antwoord ja. Niet omdat iedere specificatie afzonderlijk indrukwekkend is, maar omdat het totaalgevoel klopt. De instelbare kracht geeft je ruimte om de shifter af te stemmen op verschillende disciplines. De metalen constructie geeft vertrouwen. De contactloze detectie voelt als een logische keuze voor duurzaamheid. En de compacte basis maakt montage relatief overzichtelijk, zolang je rig stevig genoeg is natuurlijk \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price does lend that assessment a bit more weight. At \u20ac399 including VAT, the MagShift is clearly in the premium segment. This isn\u2019t an accessory you buy simply because you want to \u201cgive sequential a go\u201d. It\u2019s a deliberate upgrade for sim racers who frequently drive cars where a sequential gear lever is a genuine part of the experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An eventful launch: why context matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MagShift did not get off to a completely smooth start. Around the time of its launch, there were reports that early models had less shifting power and a less distinct click than expected. Heusinkveld did not simply let that first production run continue unchallenged, but reviewed the product and refined the final version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s relevant context. Not because every review has to keep focusing on the launch, but because it meant the MagShift had something to prove. Not just that the idea was a good one, but also that Heusinkveld still meets its own standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFollowing a somewhat shaky launch, MagShift did not have to prove that the idea was sound, but rather that Heusinkveld still meets its own standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my own experience, it doesn\u2019t feel like a product that\u2019s still searching for its identity. The MagShift I tested feels fully realised. Straightforward, robust and reliable. A premium brand is allowed to make mistakes, as long as it takes those mistakes seriously and the end product is ultimately convincing. In this version, the MagShift delivers on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First impression: industrial, robust and exactly my sort of hardware<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What immediately appeals to me about the MagShift is its look. This isn\u2019t a shifter that tries to impress with shiny covers, futuristic lines or unnecessary visual details. It looks like functional sim racing hardware. Solid steel, exposed plates, a compact base and an industrial finish that, above all, inspires confidence. That might sound a bit dry, but that\u2019s exactly what I love about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s something authentic about those robust metal plates. The MagShift doesn\u2019t try to hide its mechanics behind a sleek design. Instead, it shows that it\u2019s built to be used. That suits a sequential shifter. This is hardware you pull on, push against and sometimes treat more roughly than you originally intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MagShift doesn\u2019t try to look unnecessarily premium either. No carbon-fibre look, no RGB, no design that makes it look like a futuristic spaceship component. Just sturdy steel, a clean shape and a design that essentially says: go on, give it a good tug \u2013 I can take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe MagShift doesn\u2019t try to be attractive by drawing attention to itself. It\u2019s attractive because you can see it\u2019s built for practical use.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proportions are just right. The base is compact enough not to take up any more space than necessary, yet heavy and sturdy enough to feel substantial. The lever is positioned at a good height without being cumbersome. The three buttons on the base are neatly integrated and do not make the design look any busier than necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside a robust cockpit like the Sim Lab P1X Ultimate, the MagShift feels as though it belongs there. Not as an accessory added later, but as an integral part of the driving station. If you\u2019re a fan of sleek, minimalist hardware, you might need a bit of time to get used to that visible industrial design. For me, that\u2019s precisely what makes it so charming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-2048x1151.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Heusinkveld Magshift review\" class=\"wp-image-30646 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-2048x1151.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-1024x575.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-1536x863.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-18x10.jpg.webp 18w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-1920x1079.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-1170x658.jpg.webp 1170w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-585x329.jpg.webp 585w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-600x337.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-2048x1151.jpg&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-1920x1079.jpg 1920w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-31-600x337.jpg 600w&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Montage and integration: a strong product, but Heusinkveld is missing an opportunity here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Heusinkveld MagShift fits perfectly on its own. The U-shaped bracket supplied fits well with aluminium profile cockpits and provides a solid base for securing the shifter firmly in place. If you\u2019re only using the MagShift, the installation process is fairly straightforward. You secure it, find the right position and can then get on with the rest relatively quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, when positioning it precisely, you\u2019ll notice that there\u2019s still a bit of space left. That might sound like a minor point, but with a sequential shifter, position makes a big difference. A shifter that\u2019s positioned just a little too far forward, too high or at an unnatural angle will constantly demand your attention. That\u2019s exactly what you want to avoid. A good shifter should disappear from your mind once it\u2019s fitted, so that all that remains is the action itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I eventually managed to position the MagShift correctly on my Sim Lab P1X Ultimate, though it did take a bit of ingenuity. The shifter is now firmly in place, the angle feels just right and the movement falls nicely alongside my seating position. Once everything is in place, it works just as you\u2019d hope: you reach for the lever without thinking and the controls feel natural. It just took a bit longer to get there than I\u2019d expect with hardware of this calibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real complication arises when you combine the MagShift with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2 on the same side of the cockpit. And let\u2019s be honest: that\u2019s exactly how many sim racers want to use these products. Rally, rallycross and drifting practically demand that combination. The shifter and handbrake side by side, within easy reach, securely mounted and without getting in each other\u2019s way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both products have their own mounting solution, but they don\u2019t feel as though they\u2019ve been designed to work together as a single montagecluster. You have to work it out for yourself when it comes to space, height, accessibility and stability. Personally, I don\u2019t mind that, as I actually enjoy setting up my cockpit as precisely as possible. But with two products from the same ecosystem, you\u2019d actually expect a more logical combined solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe combination with the Handbrake V2 is phenomenal once everything\u2019s set up, but the process of getting there might feel a bit like a small cockpit project.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That doesn\u2019t mean the bracket is bad. On its own, it works perfectly well with the MagShift. But when used in combination with the Handbrake V2, it falls just short of allowing you to fully customise the set to your liking. Precisely because the hardware itself is so well-matched, it feels like a missed opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

class=\"wp-block-heading\">The gear-change feel: firm and distinct<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a sequential shifter, it\u2019s all about the click. It\u2019s that one moment when you move the lever and your hand senses: the shift is complete. That\u2019s what sets a good shifter apart from an input device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MagShift does this brilliantly. The magnetic mechanism produces a short, distinct and consistent click. It\u2019s neither excessively heavy nor unnaturally mechanical. I find that last point particularly important. Some shifters try to feel realistic by simply providing a lot of resistance. The MagShift feels realistic because the resistance is built up in a logical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can feel the start, the point where the click occurs, and then a clear completion of the movement. That inspires confidence. Not just with a single shift, but particularly with rapid, successive gear changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maximum setting of 11 kg is impressive, but I don\u2019t think this is automatically the best setting. At maximum power, the MagShift feels wonderfully physical, especially during short sessions or ralliestages where you\u2019re specifically looking for that raw, mechanical feel. But during longer sessions, it can become too overpowering. That\u2019s when the shifter starts to demand too much attention. For me, the best setting is slightly lower: firm enough to feel authentic, but not so heavy that every shift feels like you\u2019re trying to prove a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe most extreme setting is impressive, but the best setting is the one that still feels natural after an hour\u2019s driving.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The great thing is that you can find that balance yourself. You can adjust the overall force, upshift and downshift settings individually. In rally and rallycross, I found it made sense to set the downshift slightly heavier than the upshift. Downshifting then feels more mechanical and deliberate, whilst upshifting remains quick enough not to disrupt the rhythm. For GT use or longer stints, I\u2019d actually set it to be slightly more neutral and lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What the MagShift does particularly well is that it doesn\u2019t become tiring over time. You can still feel the click, but you don\u2019t have to consciously focus on it. That balance feels just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Proud to present: brand \u2013 the new Heusinkveld MagShift.

Especially on fast hairpin bends and short technical sections, gear changes become part of a steady rhythm. Brake, downshift, apply the handbrake, let the car spin and get back on the throttle straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a lighter or less responsive shifter, it sometimes feels as though you\u2019re just firing off random inputs. With the MagShift, it feels much more like a natural sequence. You don\u2019t even think about it anymore. Your hand just knows what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rally driving in a simulator is always a compromise. You miss out on the real G-forces, the impacts felt through the bodywork and the physical risk of a real stage. But good hardware can help bridge that gap. A sturdy sequential shifter and a good handbrake give your hands something to do that matches what the car demands of you. As a result, it feels less like you\u2019re operating controls and more like you\u2019re physically putting the car to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-2048x1151.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29968 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-2048x1151.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-1024x575.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-1536x863.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-1920x1079.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-1170x658.jpg.webp 1170w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-585x329.jpg.webp 585w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-600x337.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-2048x1151.jpg&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-1920x1079.jpg 1920w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review-3-1-600x337.jpg 600w&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Automobilista 2 Rallycross, this hits you even harder. Everything is faster, shorter and more intense. The cars demand quick corrections, short gear changes and immediate reactions. That\u2019s precisely when you don\u2019t want to be left wondering whether a gear change has been registered correctly or whether the lever might feel just a little too light. The MagShift remains unfazed by all this. The click is distinct, the unit remains stable, and rapid successive gear changes don\u2019t feel clunky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maar eerlijk: de MagShift is niet alleen leuk in rally of rallycross. In een oudere GT1 of klassieke raceauto komt hij ook geweldig tot zijn recht. Zeker in VR met mijn Pimax Crystal Super, in combinatie met het 3DOF motion systeem van Vero-Motion, wordt dat echt fenomenaal. Dan valt alles samen: beeld, beweging, force feedback, shifter, handrem en het gevoel dat je niet zomaar een moderne raceauto met paddles bestuurt, maar echt met een oudere machine aan het werk bent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moments like that are exactly why I love this sort of hardware so much. You\u2019re in VR, the rig is moving beneath you, you can hear the car running, your right hand automatically reaches for the gear lever, and suddenly it just feels right. Then I\u2019m literally sitting behind the wheel with a smile on my face. And to be honest, it\u2019s hard to wipe that smile off my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What really sticks in my mind is that the MagShift never feels like you need to go easy on it. Some hardware feels premium, but at the same time a bit fragile. Not the MagShift. It invites you to use it. Hard, often and without holding back. Exactly how a sequential shifter should feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s only with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2 that the picture really comes together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, the combination with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2 is one of the main reasons why the MagShift works so well. On their own, they\u2019re already great products, but together they feel much more natural. Not like a shifter and a handbrake that just happen to be next to each other, but like a single, robust control cluster next to your seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They speak the same language: sturdy steel, visibly mechanical, no frills and, above all, built to be used. That might sound like a minor detail, but in a cockpit it really makes a difference. Many setups end up being a mix of brands, materials and design choices. That\u2019s not a problem \u2013 that\u2019s how I build my own setups too. But sometimes, as a result, a cockpit feels like a collection of loose parts. With the MagShift and Handbrake V2, I don\u2019t get that feeling at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In rally and drift, this combination really comes into its own. Your right hand has two distinct tasks: changing gear and applying the handbrake. And after a few sessions, you don\u2019t really think about it anymore. You brake, shift down, pull the handbrake, let the car spin and hit the accelerator again. Everything is exactly where you\u2019d expect it to be. Everything feels familiar. That makes the driving experience more relaxed \u2013 not because you\u2019re doing less, but because the car\u2019s controls don\u2019t disrupt your rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe MagShift and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/go\/heusinkveld\/handbrake\/\" title=\"Heusinkveld Handbrake V2\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\"rel=\"nofollow sponsored \" target=\"_blank\">Heusinkveld Handbrake<\/a> \u201dThey don\u2019t feel like two separate accessories. They feel like a single entity. An extension and a physical link between the virtual and the real.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I find particularly impressive is that the MagShift takes on greater significance alongside the Handbrake V2. It\u2019s already good as a standalone shifter, but when used together, it becomes clearer why this hardware is such a perfect fit for rally, drift, rallycross and classic racing cars. It becomes part of the experience. You no longer think: \u2018I\u2019m using the shifter now and then the handbrake\u2019. You just drive. Your hand instinctively finds the right input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That, to me, is where the value of premium hardware lies. Not in more buttons, more functions or more flashy features, but in that moment when everything feels so familiar that it becomes second nature. As far as I\u2019m concerned, the montage could be a bit smarter, but once everything\u2019s set up, this combination feels absolutely spot on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design: industrial, honest and just raw enough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design of the Heusinkveld MagShift is perhaps one of the reasons why I like it so much. This isn\u2019t a shifter that tries to entice you with a sleek casing, subtle curves or some sort of premium lifestyle look. The MagShift looks like hardware. Just hardware. Metal plates, exposed construction, a sturdy lever and a base that looks, above all, functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I mean that in a positive way. There\u2019s something honest about the design. You can see straight away what the product is intended for. Not to look pretty on a desk, not to be hidden away under a cover, but to be used right next to your cockpit. Roughly, frequently and without any fuss. The metal construction gives it a raw, industrial look that suits this type of product perfectly. As far as I\u2019m concerned, a sequential shifter can certainly look a bit mechanical. In fact, that\u2019s part of its charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I particularly like is that Heusinkveld hasn\u2019t over-embellished the MagShift. No superfluous carbon-fibre look, no RGB lighting, no design that makes it look like a futuristic spaceship component. Just sturdy steel, a clean shape and a design that essentially says: go on, give it a good tug \u2013 I can take it. That also fits in well with the rest of the Heusinkveld ecosystem. Put it next to the Handbrake V2 and you\u2019ll immediately see why that combination feels so right. They share the same no-nonsense design philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-2048x1151.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30643 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-2048x1151.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-1024x575.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-1536x863.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-18x10.jpg.webp 18w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-1920x1079.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-1170x658.jpg.webp 1170w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-585x329.jpg.webp 585w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-600x337.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-2048x1151.jpg&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-1920x1079.jpg 1920w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-69-600x337.jpg 600w&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, the MagShift isn\u2019t necessarily \u201cattractive\u201d in the traditional sense. It isn\u2019t elegant or refined in the way that some high-end steering wheels can be. But it certainly has character. And in my setup, I find that much more important. Particularly alongside a robust cockpit like the Sim Lab P1X Ultimate, the MagShift feels as though it belongs there. Not as an accessory added later, but as an integral part of the driving setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proportions are spot on too. The base is compact enough not to take up any more space than necessary, yet heavy and sturdy enough to feel substantial. The lever is positioned at a good height, without feeling clunky. The three buttons on the base are neatly integrated and don\u2019t make the design any busier than necessary. That\u2019s impressive, because additions like this can all too easily feel as though someone had to squeeze in a few extra features at the last minute. Not here. They\u2019re positioned logically, almost modestly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as I\u2019m concerned, this is exactly where the MagShift really shines visually: it doesn\u2019t try to be anything more than it is. And that\u2019s precisely why it feels all the more impressive. The MagShift isn\u2019t a showpiece, but a piece of functional sim racing hardware. And to be honest, I find that much more appealing than a shifter that\u2019s mainly trying to look good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNearly four hundred euros for a single click sounds ridiculous. Until that click feels just right a hundred times in a row.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a fan of sleek, minimalist hardware, you might need a bit of time to get used to that exposed industrial design. But for me, that\u2019s precisely what gives it its charm. The MagShift has a tangible quality to it. You can see the steel, feel the weight and notice that the design is primarily driven by function. That\u2019s what makes it authentic. And in a sim racing market where more and more products are trying to look premium, I find hardware that simply dares to be functional refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The three buttons: a small detail, but a practical one<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three buttons on the MagShift aren\u2019t the reason you\u2019d buy this shifter. Nobody sets aside nearly four hundred euros and thinks: \u201cAt last, three buttons.\u201d That would be rather worrying. But to be fair: after a few sessions, I found them much more useful than I\u2019d expected. At first, I mainly saw them as a nice extra. It\u2019s nice that they\u2019re there, but probably something I\u2019d hardly ever use. It turned out that wasn\u2019t quite right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They\u2019re actually positioned exactly where you\u2019d expect them to be. Low on the base, close to your hand, but not annoyingly in the way when changing gear. This means you find yourself using them quite naturally for functions you don\u2019t need all the time, but want to be able to access quickly. Think of neutral, camera view or a reset\/tow function. This is surprisingly practical, especially in rally, touring car or classic cars, where you don\u2019t always drive with a modern steering wheel full of buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I particularly like is that Heusinkveld hasn\u2019t tried to turn it into some sort of half-baked button box. The MagShift remains simply a shifter. But it does add something positive. No extra layer of controls to make the design look cluttered or disrupted, just three buttons that are logical and practical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You buy the MagShift for the feel of the gear changes, not for the buttons. But since they\u2019re there anyway, it\u2019s nice that they don\u2019t feel like a mere tick on the features list. They\u2019re actually quite useful. And that\u2019s exactly what suits this shifter: no-nonsense, functional and smarter than it appears at first glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2

class=\"wp-block-heading\">SmartControl: functionally strong, but less visually appealing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heusinkveld SmartControl does exactly what it\u2019s supposed to do. You can configure MagShift, set outputs and use profiles. Especially if you also have Heusinkveld pedals or the Handbrake V2, it\u2019s great that everything forms part of the same ecosystem. In practice, it simply works well. For rally driving, I used a firmer profile with a slightly heavier downshift, whilst for GTs I\u2019d tend to choose a lighter and more neutral setting. You can also conveniently map the three buttons to functions such as neutral, ignition, lights, reset or pit limiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, SmartControl feels less premium than the hardware itself. The software is functional, but looks a bit bland and dated. It\u2019s not frustrating, but it is a bit of a shame for hardware of this calibre. A few presets for rally, GT, touring cars or longer sessions would go a long way. Not because you can\u2019t tweak the settings yourself, but because a good starting point simply makes the setup quicker and more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the MagShift worth the price?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At \u20ac399, the Heusinkveld MagShift isn\u2019t exactly a cheap shifter. There\u2019s no point beating about the bush on that. Almost four hundred euros for a lever that clicks forwards and backwards sounds rather steep on paper. Especially if you mainly ride with paddles and that shifter probably spends more time sitting neatly next to your rig than you actually use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that\u2019s precisely the point: the value of the MagShift depends entirely on how often you use it. If you regularly take part in rally, rallycross, drifting, touring car racing or classic car events, then it\u2019s a different story. In that case, it\u2019s no longer an expensive extra, but an integral part of how you drive the car. Your right hand gets a look-in again. Changing gear becomes a physical act. And suddenly, that price makes a lot more sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Heusinkveld MagShift is a robust, reliable and functionally sound sequential shifter which, particularly when used alongside the Handbrake V2, demonstrates why \u201dless is more\u2019 is sometimes exactly what\u2019s needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just wouldn\u2019t buy it as your first major upgrade. If your rig still wobbles as if it\u2019s afraid of load-cell pedals, start there. If your pedals aren\u2019t up to scratch yet, buy better ones first. If your seating position isn\u2019t right, sort that out first. The MagShift isn\u2019t the foundation of your setup, but rather a refinement of a setup that\u2019s already working well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nor does the value lie in a single spectacular feature. Not in the three buttons, the software or the magnetic click. It\u2019s in the overall package: the robust metal construction, the direct shift, the adjustable force, the reliable registration and, above all, the feeling that this thing just feels right. Especially when paired with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2, the combination is truly impressive. If you use a sequential shifter frequently, the Heusinkveld MagShift is well worth the price. If you only use it now and then, it\u2019s mainly a lovely way to convince yourself that your setup \u201c<em>almost finished<\/em>\u201d is. En we weten allebei dat dat toch nooit gebeurt \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the problem?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MagShift is rock-solid, but not flawless. For me, the biggest drawback isn\u2019t in the driving itself, but in the montage when used in combination with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2. Once everything\u2019s set up, that combination is fantastic! But before everything\u2019s set up, you do have to spend a bit of time fiddling around. And not in the enjoyable \u201cI\u2019m just taking my time finishing off my cockpit\u201d sort of way, but more in the \u201cwhy doesn\u2019t this fit quite as logically as I\u2019d hoped\u201d sort of way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both products feel, both functionally and visually, as though they belong together. That\u2019s precisely why you\u2019d actually expect Heusinkveld to take things a step further in this regard. A neat combined mounting solution would really make sense here. Not as an unnecessary luxury, but as an accessory that makes you think: yes, of course this exists. At the moment, you have to be a bit more creative yourself. Personally, I don\u2019t mind that, as I love tailoring my cockpit exactly to my liking. But with hardware of this calibre, the path to that perfect position could certainly be a bit less fiddly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"affiliate-style-b9057dd0-5386-43c5-9535-cec4cbf5451f\" class=\"wp-block-affiliate-booster-ab-coupon4 affiliate-block-b9057dd0-5386-43c5-9535-cec4cbf5451f affiliate-coupon-wrapper  style4\"><div class=\"affiliate-coupon-inner\"><div class=\"affiliate-coupon-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"affiliate-coupon-content-inner\"><div class=\"affiliate-col firstcol\"><div class=\"affiliate-coupon-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/05\/Heusinkveld-Handbrake-V2-3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"no-lazyload\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/Heusinkveld-Handbrake-V2-3.jpg&quot;}\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"affiliate-col seccol\"><h3 class=\"affiliate-coupon-maintitle\" id=\"lees-ook:-heusinkveld-handbrake-v2-review\">See also: Heusinkveld Handbrake V2 Review<\/h3><div class=\"affiliate-coupon-content\">If you\u2019re using the MagShift for rally, rallycross or drifting, pairing it with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2 is perhaps the most logical choice.

The software does what it\u2019s supposed to do, but doesn\u2019t feel quite as premium as the hardware itself. It works; you can configure everything and it\u2019s perfectly functional. But visually and in terms of ease of use, it all feels a bit dated. Not drastically so, but it\u2019s a bit as if the hardware was made in a modern workshop whilst the software seems to have come straight out of a slightly older toolbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price is still an issue, but mainly because the MagShift is so specialised. I can certainly justify an expensive shifter that you use frequently. An expensive shifter that you only touch once a month because you mainly use paddles is a different matter. Then you have to be honest with yourself. And yes, that\u2019s exactly the moment when sim racers usually become very good at lying to themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right, that\u2019s a lot of positive things to say. So is there anything negative about the MagShift? Yes, but I have to be honest: I had to look quite hard to find it. Just as with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2, I would have preferred the montagebeugel to be powder-coated black. Especially on a black cockpit like my Sim Lab P1X Ultimate, the shifter would then blend in a bit more seamlessly with the overall look. As it is, the bracket stands out a bit more than necessary. It\u2019s no disaster, mind you. Just one of those details where you think: this could have been done a bit more neatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it isn\u2019t quiet. The clicking sound is part of the shifter\u2019s character, and I personally love it. But if you\u2019re driving late at night in a shared space, someone else might not find it quite so romantic. To you, it sounds like a mechanical experience. To someone on the sofa, it might not sound quite so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other than that, I\u2019ve got little to complain about. The MagShift is minimalist, but not bare-bones. Simple, but not cheap. It doesn\u2019t do much, but what it does, it does convincingly well. And perhaps that\u2019s exactly why it\u2019s so strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is the Heusinkveld MagShift best suited for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MagShift makes particular sense for sim racers who enjoy physical controls. Not just steering, braking and accelerating, but also gear-changing and using the handbrake as part of the rhythm. If you do a lot of rally, rallycross, drifting, touring car racing or classic car racing, this shifter really does add something extra. Not because it suddenly saves you three tenths per lap, but because the car feels more authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MagShift isn\u2019t the cheapest sequential shifter, but it is one of the most compelling options if you spend a lot of time driving cars where gear changes are a real part of the experience. When combined with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2, it becomes even more impressive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also makes perfect sense if you already own or are considering the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2. Together, the combination feels incredibly familiar. Visually, it\u2019s spot on; mechanically, it\u2019s spot on; and when you\u2019re using it, it feels as though both components simply belong side by side. Particularly in rally or drift, that right-hand side of your cockpit suddenly becomes a sort of robust control unit that you no longer even think about. You just use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-2048x1151.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Heusinkveld MagShift and Handbrake V2 mounted side by side on a sim racing cockpit, with blue PC lighting in the background\" class=\"wp-image-30648 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-2048x1151.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-1024x575.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-1536x863.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-18x10.jpg.webp 18w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-1920x1079.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-1170x658.jpg.webp 1170w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-585x329.jpg.webp 585w, https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-600x337.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-2048x1151.jpg&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-1920x1079.jpg 1920w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-600x337.jpg 600w&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, the MagShift is ideal for sim racers who like hardware that looks as though it\u2019s actually meant to do something. No sleek design for design\u2019s sake, no unnecessary frills, no busy styling. Just metal, resistance, a solid click and a design that doesn\u2019t try to pretend to be anything else. If that\u2019s your sort of thing, you\u2019ll probably get the MagShift straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dit is dus geen shifter voor iedereen. Maar voor de juiste setup voelt hij heel logisch. Misschien zelfs t\u00e9 logisch, want dat is precies hoe je jezelf na een paar sessies overtuigt dat de Handbrake er ook naast moet. Of andersom \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who wouldn\u2019t I buy it for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wouldn\u2019t buy the MagShift if you mainly drive modern GT3s, prototypes or formula cars. In those cars, paddle shifters are usually more logical, realistic and practical. Of course, you can still use the MagShift in those cases, but you\u2019d mainly be buying it because you enjoy it. That\u2019s fine. But then just call it what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wouldn\u2019t recommend it either if you\u2019re still in the early stages of setting up your bike. If your cockpit isn\u2019t sturdy enough yet, your pedals don\u2019t feel quite right or your seating position isn\u2019t quite right, there are better places to spend your money. The MagShift is a nice refinement for a fully-fledged setup, not a magic solution for a rig that isn\u2019t quite right yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe MagShift isn\u2019t the sort of product that makes an impression when you unpack it. It makes an impression by the hundredth gear change, when you realise it still feels exactly the same as it did the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d also think twice about it for occasional use. If you only do a rally once a month and otherwise mainly use paddle shifters, this is probably overkill. There are cheaper shifters available that do the job just fine. Less stylish, less robust, less \u2018Heusinkveld\u2019, but certainly more sensible. And yes, being sensible can sometimes be a bit of a bore. But your bank balance usually thinks it\u2019s a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you don\u2019t buy the MagShift because you \u201cmight do a bit more rally driving one day\u201d. We\u2019ve all heard that one. It\u2019s in the same category as \u201cI\u2019m definitely going to sort out my cable management this winter\u201d. Buy it if you know that sequential driving is a regular part of your sim racing routine. Then it\u2019s the right choice. Otherwise, it\u2019s mainly just a very nice shifter waiting for an excuse to be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: the MagShift stands the test of time because it works as it should<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Heusinkveld MagShift isn\u2019t the sort of shifter that had to win me over with flashy features. It didn\u2019t do that from the very first impression. Instead, it won me over precisely because it felt intuitive straight away. After more than eight weeks of testing it on my own rig, that feeling has remained. In fact, the longer I used it, the clearer it became why this shifter stands out amongst all the hardware I\u2019ve tested so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strength of the MagShift lies in its simplicity. It doesn\u2019t try to be everything. It\u2019s not an H-pattern, not a showpiece, not a multifunctional gimmick, and not a product that seeks to impress with unnecessary complexity. It is a robust sequential shifter that does what it\u2019s supposed to do, with a click that\u2019s physical enough to inspire confidence yet subtle enough not to become irritating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combined with the Heusinkveld Handbrake V2, it becomes even more powerful. This combination feels phenomenal in rally and rallycross, because both products share the same industrial, functional and reliable design language. They belong together. Not just because they\u2019re from the same brand, but because they work perfectly in tandem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is it for everyone? No. If you mainly drive modern cars with paddle shifters, I\u2019d invest this money elsewhere. If your setup isn\u2019t robust enough yet, I\u2019d start there first. And if you only use sequential shifting now and then, you can find cheaper options. But if you spend a lot of time driving cars where a sequential shifter is a real part of the experience, then the MagShift is one of the most impressive options I\u2019ve tested. Not because it\u2019s the most spectacular, but because even after the hundredth shift, it still inspires exactly the same confidence as it did on the first. The MagShift is impressive. In every respect, really. <\/p>\n\n\n\n        <aside class=\"wrapper-penci-review\">\n            <div class=\"penci-review\">\n                <div class=\"penci-review-container penci-review-count\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                        <div class=\"penci-review-thumb\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-300x300.jpg.webp\"\n                                 alt=\"\" class=\"no-lazyload\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift-64-300x300.jpg&quot;}\" \/>\n                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"penci-review-metas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                        <div class=\"penci-review-schemas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                    <span class=\"penci-review-hauthor\"\n                          style=\"display: none !important;\"><span>SimRacingHub.co.uk<\/span><\/span>\n                    <ul class=\"penci-review-number normal-rating\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"penci-review-container penci-review-point\">\n                    <div class=\"penci-review-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <div class=\"penci-review-average full-w\">\n                            <div class=\"penci-review-score-total\">\n                                <div class=\"penci-review-score-num\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t0.0                                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                                    <span>Average score<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/aside>\n\t\t\n\t\n\n\n\n<div id=\"affiliate-style-7a9dba24-4e8f-4ea9-9661-a5331816956a\" class=\"affiliate-toppick\"><div class=\"affiliate-toppick-main  affiliate-box-position-\"><div class=\"affiliate-tipbox-wrapper\"><span class=\"affiliate-tipbox\">Very convincing<\/span><div class=\"affiliate-tipbox-inner\"><div class=\"affiliate-tipbox-content affiliate-image-position-\"><div class=\"affiliate-tipbox-img-wrapper\"><div class=\"affiliate-toppick-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simracinghub.nl\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/06\/Heusinkveld-MagShift.png.webp\" alt=\"Heusinkveld Magshift\" class=\"no-lazyload\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.simracinghub.nl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Heusinkveld-MagShift.png&quot;}\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"affiliate-tipbox-cntn-wrapper affiliate-block-advanced-list\"><p class=\"affiliate-tipbox-title\" id=\"heusinkveld-magshift-kopen?\">Fancy buying a Heusinkveld MagShift?<\/p><p class=\"affiliate-tipbox-cntn\">The Heusinkveld MagShift is particularly appealing if you\u2019re serious about rally, rallycross, drifting, touring car racing or classic cars, and are looking for a sequential shifter that delivers mechanically without any unnecessary fuss.
