MOZA HGP Shifter
CNC aluminum 7+R H-pattern shifter with automatic throttle blip
Description
The MOZA HGP Shifter is a 7+R H-pattern shifter machined from anodized aviation-grade aluminum.
Mechanism. Seven forward gears plus reverse, with reverse and 7th locked so you push down to engage them. A 15-bit non-contact angle sensor reads the lever, and a shock-absorbing damping system softens metal-on-metal engagement.
Throttle blip. MOZA Pit House can add an automatic throttle blip on downshifts, so you can rev-match without heel-and-toe.
Knob and mounting. The knob is replaceable and accepts most aftermarket knobs with standard threading. Mounts with M6 bolts from the base; a Universal Mounting Plate and table clamp are sold separately. Dimensions are 100 × 140 × 250 mm and weight is 1.8 kg.
Connection. Plugs directly into a PC over USB with no adapter, or into the shifter port of a compatible MOZA wheel base via RJ11.
Features & highlights
Driving style
The HGP is for drivers who want a real H-pattern for historic cars, road cars, touring cars and trucks in Assetto Corsa, Automobilista 2, rFactor 2, iRacing's manual cars, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and rally titles with H-pattern classics. Its 7+R layout with locked reverse covers modern and classic gearboxes, and the throttle blip helps newcomers rev-match. Reviewers compare its shift feel to the Fanatec SQ 1.5 at a much lower price. Best for PC racers on a budget who want a metal H-pattern; less suited for drivers who also need sequential shifting, where the SGP or a combined shifter fits better.
Build quality
The HGP is CNC-machined from anodized aviation-grade aluminum, weighs 1.8 kg and uses a 15-bit contactless sensor, with a dust cover over the gate. Reviewers describe it as solid and heavy, though metal-on-metal engagement is loud and the gate feels stiff when new. MOZA lists up to 24 months of warranty on the badge, while its specs mention a 12-month limited warranty.
Software
The HGP is configured in MOZA Pit House on Windows PC, including calibration (hold the lever down while sweeping left to right) and the optional automatic downshift throttle blip. It connects via USB as its own device, so it works with any wheel brand on PC, or through a MOZA base's shifter port. One reviewer hit Pit House quirks during setup, and a user reported some games could not map 4th-7th gear on older firmware.
