2 Choosing a Mechanical Implementation

The mechanical implementation of the E-shifter not only has influence over the end user’s experience, but also has influence on what magnet-sensor pairings are viable. In Figure 2-1 there are five possible mechanical implementations. From left to right are button, dial, joystick, lever, and paddle implementations. This document examines the lever design. For content relevant to the other implementations, check out Section 9.
