What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly view the Cube Controls CSX-3 6 paddles as a benchmark product in the high-end sim racing peripheral market. The sentiment is dominated by praise for the uncompromising build quality, utilizing CNC machined aluminum and genuine carbon fiber, which provides exceptional rigidity and durability. Users consistently highlight the magnetic shifters, describing their action as incredibly crisp, precise, and satisfyingly tactile, significantly enhancing immersion and shift accuracy. The inclusion of the 6-paddle system—offering dual-clutch functionality and two auxiliary paddles—is frequently cited as a major functional advantage, allowing for complex race starts and on-the-fly adjustments without removing hands from the wheel. The integrated CSX-3 display is also a major draw, providing crucial, customizable telemetry data directly in the driver's line of sight. While the CSX-3 commands a premium price, the consensus among serious enthusiasts is that the investment is fully justified by the superior ergonomics, the advanced feature set, and the overall reliability. Minor critiques occasionally surface regarding the initial complexity of integrating the display software with certain titles, but these are quickly overshadowed by the wheel's professional-grade performance once configured. Overall, the CSX-3 is regarded not just as a peripheral, but as an 'endgame' tool that significantly elevates the competitive sim racing experience.
Know before you buy
The screen is fully compatible with SimHub software. You can use this platform to design custom dashboards or download community-made layouts to display the specific telemetry data you need while racing.
