Popular Shifters & Handbrakes

Looking for a true-to-life shifting experience? The Simagic DS-8X lets you switch between H-pattern and sequential modes on the fly – ideal for sim racers driving both vintage touring cars and modern rally machines. Prefer a pure sequential feel? Try the Q1 or Q1S, which offer mechanical, precise gear shifts with high durability.

For rally and drift simulations, a dedicated handbrake brings control and nuance. The Simagic TB-1 offers load cell feedback in a solid aluminum body, while the TB-RS features a hydraulic mechanism and haptic feedback for unmatched realism.

Moza Racing contributes with the HGP 7-speed H-pattern shifter and the SGP sequential unit, both built with CNC aluminum housings and advanced sensing technologies. Heusinkveld provides professional-grade load cell handbrakes and the MagShift – a high-end sequential shifter with optical sensors for ultimate accuracy.
