This article covers Moza Racing HGP Shifter シフター 7速+R Hパターン フルメンテ製造 レーシング 防塵カバー付き 高精度角度センサー.
Overview
The Moza Racing HGP Shifter is a 7-speed plus reverse H-pattern shifter built for sim racers who demand realism. Its body is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with an anodized finish, delivering exceptional rigidity and a satisfying mechanical feel with every gear change. Inside, a 15-bit non-contact angle sensor ensures precise detection of each gate, while a patented damping system absorbs shock for smooth, quiet shifts. A funnel-shaped dust cover, inspired by real cars, is included to keep debris out of the mechanism. When paired with a Moza Racing wheel base, the HGP Shifter unlocks advanced features in the Moza Pit House software, such as automatic throttle blipping on downshifts—eliminating the need for heel-and-toe technique while maintaining vehicle balance.
Connectivity & Compatibility
The HGP Shifter connects to your PC via USB and works as a standalone USB shifter with any compatible sim racing title. For full integration with Moza Racing wheel bases (R5, R9, R16, R21, etc.), a dedicated cable links the shifter directly to the base, enabling real-time adjustments through Pit House. It also functions as a generic USB HID shifter, so it can be used with other brands' wheel bases or directly with a PC. Note that a desk clamp is sold separately. If you have a racing rig, the shifter can be mounted directly using the threaded holes on the bottom. For desktop users, the optional Moza desk clamp is recommended for a stable setup.
