Simucube Tahko GT-21 Wireless Wheel - Black Edition

No cable, no battery anxiety A 320mm flat GT rim with a suede finish, built around Simucube's own wireless wheel system. No coiled cable down the shaft, no USB lead to snag when you swap wheels, and a single CR2477N cell doing the work. This is the Black Edition, which is the same GT-21 in a darker finish. Ten industrial grade buttons, a seven function switch, a rotary encoder and two adjustable magnetic paddles, plus the Simucube button that lets you change force feedback settings from the wheel. Key features 320mm flat GT rim Simucube Wireless Wheel System Ten industrial grade buttons 7-way switch and rotary encoder Two adjustable magnetic paddles Quick release included Magnetic paddles, and why they are quiet The shift paddles are magnetic rather than mechanical, which changes two things. They are adjustable, so you can set the throw to suit your hands, and they are noticeably quieter than a microswitch paddle. That second point matters more than it sounds if you race at night or share a wall with someone. Simucube's own phrasing is that it keeps those around you happy, which is a polite way of saying a conventional paddle is loud. The Simucube button One of the controls is dedicated to force feedback rather than to the car. Hold it and the directions become live adjustments: up for overall strength, left for damping, right for the Simucube force reconstruction filter. It means you can chase a setting during a stint instead of stopping to alt-tab. This function is currently supported in True Drive. What it fits Natively, the Simucube 2 wheelbase ecosystem, which has the wireless receiver built in. A Simucube Quick Release for Simucube 2 is supplied with the wheel, so there is nothing else to buy. On a Simucube 3 it still works, but it needs a Link Hub for the data and a Link Quick Release for the mechanical fit. Our sim racing wheels pages cover the rest of the rim range. Our expert take "Wireless wheels used to mean worrying about batteries. On this system you are looking at years rather than months from a single cell, which puts it out of mind entirely. The thing people actually notice day to day is the quiet paddles, and you do not appreciate that until you have lived with a loud set." - Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct Frequently asked questions Is a quick release included?Yes.
