🎮 Realistic Gearbox Shifter Control – Mobile PRND & H-Pattern UI

Gearbox Shifter Control is a realistic, physics-based UI gear shifting system designed for mobile and cross-platform projects.

It simulates real-world gear shifting using drag, snapping, and optional click input, allowing players to interact with gearbox layouts in a natural and immersive way.

Built as a ready-to-use solution, it includes everything you need—from core logic to demo scenes—so you can integrate it into your project in minutes.

🚀 Key Features

⚙️ Realistic Gear Shifting
