Simulator wireless magnetic paddle shifters and buttons

It’s time to make another post about amazing work of Juha. Now he has completed his design of magnetic paddle shifters as well as wireless transceiver. A group of us did test drive of the wheel and everyone immediately fell in love with the snappy feeling of magnetic shifters.

The magnetic switch has a micro switch and a small permanent magnet to produce the “spring” force of the paddle.

Maybe best of all, it’s open design. 3D printable parts and other info can be found from this Thingiverse page.
