Cosmic Byte MOZA HGP H-Pattern Sim Racing Shifter

Cosmic Byte MOZA HGP H-Pattern Sim Racing Shifter

Aviation-Grade Aluminum Construction: A true racing shifter needs to withstand aggressive gear slamming in the heat of a race. The entire main body and internal mechanism of the MOZA HGP are constructed from high-quality, CNC-machined aviation-grade aluminum. This completely eliminates any cheap, plasticky flex and provides an incredibly rigid, durable, and heavy metallic feel that perfectly mimics the strict mechanical engagement of a real-world sports car transmission.

Intelligent Auto-Blip Technology: Perfecting the heel-and-toe downshift technique can take years of practice, but this shifter gives you a massive technological advantage. The MOZA HGP features a patented intelligent downshift throttle blip system. When supported by the racing simulator and configured in the MOZA Pit House software, the shifter can automatically blip the throttle for you during downshifts. This prevents your rear wheels from locking up and spinning you out when braking heavily into a corner.

15-Bit High-Precision Sensor: Missed shifts ruin races. To guarantee your gear inputs are registered instantly and flawlessly, the HGP shifter completely abandons traditional mechanical switches. Instead, it utilizes a highly advanced 15-bit non-contact angle sensor. Because there is no physical contact inside the sensor mechanism, it is entirely immune to dust, dirt, and long-term wear and tear, ensuring that the shifter will remain perfectly accurate even after years of heavy daily use.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this shifter if I own a Logitech or Thrustmaster steering wheel? Yes, absolutely. While it is designed to plug seamlessly into a MOZA direct-drive wheelbase, it also comes with a direct USB adapter. This means you can plug the shifter directly into your Windows PC, allowing you to use it alongside any other brand of steering wheel on the market.

Does this shifter have a sequential shifting mode? No, it does not. The MOZA HGP is strictly a dedicated H-Pattern manual shifter. It does not feature a physical toggle switch to convert the mechanism into a simple up-and-down sequential shifter.

Is it easy to accidentally shift into reverse while driving? No, MOZA specifically designed a lock-out mechanism to prevent this. To access either the Reverse gear or the 7th gear, you must physically press the entire shift knob downwards before moving it into the slot. This ensures you will never accidentally blow your virtual engine by shifting into reverse while flying down a straightaway.
