Know before you buy
The display features native SimHub support, which allows it to integrate seamlessly with almost all major PC-based racing titles. You can fully customize the telemetry dashboards to show the specific data points you need for your racing style.
The Q-conn system provides a secure, reliable connection for data and power while allowing for a quick-release mechanism. It is designed to prevent accidental disconnections during intense racing maneuvers while ensuring a clean, clutter-free cockpit setup.
The CSX-3 features redesigned, zero-play magnetic shifters that provide a crisp, tactile response. While the tension is factory-tuned for optimal performance, the construction ensures a consistent, mechanical feel that eliminates the 'mushiness' found in lower-end wheels.
The wheel is equipped with 12 momentary buttons and 10 motorsport-grade rotary encoders, giving you extensive control over brake bias, traction control, and engine mapping. With the ability to configure up to six paddles, you have plenty of options for clutch, DRS, or gear shifting configurations.
The wheel has a diameter of 282 mm. This compact size is standard for high-performance formula-style racing, allowing for quick steering inputs and better visibility of your monitor or VR headset.
No, the 100% carbon fiber front plate is chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity. This construction minimizes wheel flex, ensuring that every force feedback detail from your wheelbase is transmitted directly to your hands without loss of fidelity.
