Heusinkveld MagShift Sequential Shifter

A pro-tier USB sequential shifter built around a patented magnetic mechanism with adjustable peak shift force from roughly 4.5 to 11 kg, sensed optically for wear-free longevity. It's aimed at rally, GT, and touring drivers who want a premium, durable sequential. Skip it if you run H-pattern content, since it's sequential-only, and it's PC/Windows-only, so console rigs are out.
