Simagic Dual Paddle Shifter Module: Install & Setup Guide

Confirm the module belongs on your wheel before you order

The Dual Paddle Shifter Module is engineered specifically for Simagic's GT Neo and Neo X wheels. That compatibility statement is the first checkpoint in any simagic dual paddle shifter install: if your rim is a different model, this module is not the part to buy, and no amount of adapter shopping changes that.

The bundle includes both shift paddles and dual clutch paddles. In practice, that means one purchase covers your upshift and downshift paddles plus the two clutch paddles used for launches. It does not include a wheelbase, a steering wheel, or a quick release, so plan the project around hardware you already own.

What the module actually contains

• Simagic Dual Paddle Shifter Module – Left/Right Magnetic Paddle Upgrade: Modular shifter bundle with shift paddles and dual clutch paddles, engineered exclusively for Simagic GT Neo and Neo X wheels. The dual clutch paddles are the reason to choose this module over a single-paddle upgrade; if you only need shifting, you are paying for a function you will not use.

  

A sensible order for the simagic paddle shifter module setup

1. 1. Identify your wheel model: Check that the rim is a Simagic GT Neo or Neo X. This is the only compatibility claim the catalog makes, so treat it as the gate for the whole project.
2. 2. Lay out the bundle: Separate the shift paddles from the dual clutch paddles before touching the wheel. Knowing which pair goes where prevents installing the clutch paddles in the shift position.
3. 3. Decide left and right paddle roles: Plan which side handles upshift, which handles downshift, and how you want the two clutch paddles arranged. The catalog supplies both left and right paddles but does not prescribe a mapping, so this is your call.
4. 4. Fit the paddles to the wheel: Follow Simagic's own fitting instructions for the GT Neo or Neo X. The catalog does not publish a torque figure, screw size, or step-by-step procedure, so do not improvise one.
5. 5. Configure shift and clutch functions in software: Assign the shift paddles to gear up and gear down, then bind the dual clutch paddles to the clutch axes your sim expects. Test each paddle individually before driving.
6. 6. Test at low speed first: Run a slow lap and confirm every paddle registers the intended action, including both clutch paddles during a standing start.

Where the catalog stops and your wheel's documentation starts

This is a how-to article built on a short product description, not a service manual. The catalog confirms what the module is, which wheels it fits, and what is in the bundle. It does not list screw sizes, torque values, a removal sequence for the original paddles, or software menu paths.

That absence is a real limitation, not a gap to fill with guesswork. If you have never opened up a GT Neo or Neo X rim, use Simagic's fitting documentation alongside this guide and treat the steps above as the planning order rather than the mechanical procedure.

Is this the magnetic paddle upgrade sim racing drivers should pick?

The catalog describes the module as a magnetic paddle upgrade, and the dual clutch paddles are its defining feature. If your priority is a cleaner shift feel on a GT Neo or Neo X, this module delivers shift and clutch paddles in one bundle. If you race only cars without a clutch, the extra paddles add complexity you may not want.

The honest trade-off is scope: the module is tied to two Simagic wheel models. It is not a universal paddle set, so it will not rescue a third-party rim.

Where the simagic QR-A quick release fits in the same project

The QR-A adapter is a separate decision from the paddle module. It is suitable for attaching non-Simagic wheels to Simagic Alpha Evo wheelbases, and it lets you mount third-party steering wheels with a standard 50mm or 70mm PCD. If your plan is to run a non-Simagic rim on an Alpha Evo, the QR-A is the part that makes that possible.

Do not confuse the two jobs. The paddle module changes the paddles on a GT Neo or Neo X; the QR-A changes which wheel can attach to an Alpha Evo wheelbase. Buying one does not substitute for the other.

QR-A adapter facts relevant to a wheel swap

• Simagic Alpha EVO USB Quick Release (QR-A) SRM Adapted: Suitable for attaching non-Simagic wheels to Simagic Alpha Evo wheelbases, with support for standard 50mm or 70mm PCD. If your paddle upgrade is part of a wider move to a third-party rim, this is the adapter that governs whether that rim can mount at all.

  

Common questions about the dual paddle module

Will this module fit a wheel other than the GT Neo or Neo X?

The catalog states it is engineered exclusively for Simagic's GT Neo and Neo X wheels. No other fitment is listed, so assume it does not fit other rims.

Does the bundle include shift paddles as well as clutch paddles?

Yes. The bundle includes both shift paddles and dual clutch paddles.

Do I need the QR-A quick release to install the paddle module?

No. The QR-A is for attaching non-Simagic wheels to Alpha Evo wheelbases. The paddle module is a separate upgrade for GT Neo and Neo X wheels.

Can I use the QR-A with a GT Neo or Neo X wheel?

The catalog describes the QR-A for non-Simagic wheels on Alpha Evo wheelbases. It does not state that it is intended for Simagic rims, so do not assume that combination.

What torque should I use when fitting the paddles?

The catalog does not publish a torque specification. Use Simagic's official fitting guidance rather than guessing.
