List of Sim Racing Hand Controls (Other Than SimAbility) : SimAbility

3DRap Hand Controller Ascher Racing Clutch Paddles automotive hand controls clutch paddles Fanatec gamepads joysticks Logitech MOZA Podium Advanced Paddle Module PXN V10 SF1000 wheel SRW-S1 Thrustmaster
Most companies wouldn’t direct potential customers to competitors, but SimAbility isn’t most companies.
We want to be sure you find the best option for you, so please explore all possibilities before deciding.
- Fanatec Podium Advanced Paddle Module
-
These clutch paddles have a built-in gas/brake mode that emulates Fanatec pedals. It therefore works on consoles, unlike most other options on this list. We are also working on hand controls which contain no electronics, but rather operate the existing Podium paddles. That means you can easily upgrade to a SimAbility product in the future, no money wasted!
Fanatec released a video showing how the Advanced Paddle Module fits their new ClubSport Steering Wheel BMW GT2 V2. Imagine this setup with the large paddle shifter plates mounted to the analog clutch inputs.
- Fanatec CSL Elite Steering Wheel McLaren GT3 (all versions)
-
This wheel comes with analog clutch paddles that can be switched into gas/brake mode, like the Podium Advanced Paddle Module. Therefore, these will also work on consoles.
This is a great alternative to the Podium Advanced Paddle Module if you’re looking for something at a more affordable price point. But we caution that the paddle shifters and analog paddles are both fairly stiff, requiring full-strength fingers to operate. (We could likely make them easier to press by developing extenders that would put more leverage on the paddles.)October 2022 update: our products for this wheel are now listed and will be in stock soon. We provide both inexpensive paddle extenders to make the paddles larger and easier to press and a full paddle replacement system to provide even larger paddles and progressive braking.
- Thrustmaster Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition
-
This wheel rim was announced on April 20, 2021 and provides “programable analog paddles.” Bsimracing has more information on the Thrustmaster Ferrari SF1000 wheel. A gas/brake mode is available, so it also works on consoles.
- Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel
-
This direct-drive wheel offers clutch paddles with gas and brake functionality, and it works on consoles. One unique feature is that each paddle’s mode can be set individually, so it is possible to swap the sides of the throttle and brake without any in-game remapping.
- 3DRap Hand Controller
-
This unique USB throttle-and-brake controller clamps onto your hand, so it will work with any wheel.
- MOZA Racing GS GT Wheel (all versions), RS Steering Wheel (all versions), and FSR Formula Wheel
-
These MOZA wheels offer clutch paddles that also provide an “independent axis” mode, which makes it possible to assign them as throttle and brake.
Note: Unlike some other high-end, PC-only wheels, these connect directly to a MOZA base. The downside of this approach is that the GS and RS wheels won’t work on other brands’ direct-drive bases. The FSR Formula Wheel, however, can be used on non-MOZA bases with the MOZA Universal Hub and Third-Party Wheel Base Mount Adapter.
(Both are needed.) - PXN V10
-
This entry-level wheel has small analog paddles below the shifter paddles. It also works on consoles. Because these paddles are labeled “L2” and “R2,” they seem to be intended to work as throttle and brake rather than a dual-clutch system. This package includes petals and an H-pattern shifter. Note the game compatibility is somewhat limited, and it is not supported on the PS5 or original Xbox One.
- Ascher Racing Clutch Paddles
-
These need to be manually wired into a separate controller board (such as a DSD 12 Bit Controller), so we only recommend them for more technical users.
- SteelSeries Simraceway SRW-S1 Gaming Steering Wheel
-
This discontinued wheel can still be found. It is a motion-controlled wheel that you hold in the air with analog paddles for throttle and brake. There are ways for technical users to attach it to a force-feedback base. Be aware that it can be difficult to map the steering to the force-feedback base because the motion controls are still active.
We have a DIY video guide for mounting the SRW-S1 to a Logitech G27. - Custom builds
-
If you have a large budget, you can also check with custom wheel builders like SimSpeedShop to see if they can build something with analog paddles.
- Gamepads and joysticks
-
Don’t forget about regular game controllers like Xbox or PlayStation gamepads and even traditional joysticks (flight sticks). Most sim racing games can be configured to make better use of these controllers. And we know of at least one customer who went from a joystick to a steering wheel with hand controls and then back to the joystick. Depending on your capabilities, you may find these options more compatible with your hands.
Tip: The Xbox Adaptive Controller can be used to make standard PC joysticks and gamepads work on Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X.
- Automotive hand controls
-
Lastly, some have adapted standard automotive hand controls to their sim-racing wheels. Here’s a clever setup by Mark Thomson using the Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V2.5 and Monarch adaptive automotive hand controls

How to connect logitech g25 / g27 to ps4 , xbox one?
Hello dear readers of our blog!
Many fans of computer games, especially racing ones, are wondering if the great, beloved gaming wheels of the logitech g27 are compatible with PS4 and XBOX ONE ? The happy owners of logitech g25 and FANATEC steering wheels ask themselves the same question.
Short answer — YES , using a small device Cronusmax PLUS steering wheel logitech g27 (g25, FANATEC) acquires compatibility with PS4 and XBOX ONE , especially since the connection procedure is simple and consists of a few simple steps.
Set the correct output protocol on the adapter
Connect Cronusmax PLUS to your computer via PCPROG port:
Open the program Cronus PRO and in it the adapter settings window — Tools >> Options >> Device :
In the drop-down list of “ Output Protocol ”, select “ AUTOMATIC ”. If this is not done, the device will turn off every 10 minutes!
Also, to optimize the speed of work, below, in the drop-down list “ Rumble Over Bluetooth ”, select “ DISABLED ”, since Bluetooth is not needed here.
Check that crossover mode is off
In the same window, switch to the right tab “ CMax Plus ”:
Make sure that the top item “ Enable PS4 partial crossover support (auto reconnect every 10 min) ” checkbox is missing !
Switch adapter to game wheel mode
In Cronus PRO go to Tools >> Cronus Operational Mode :
Select item “ PS4 Wheel Edition ” and click Next .
The bottom line of status in Cronus PRO should display the set mode:
Also pay attention to the inscription on the left — the recommended firmware for working in this mode is not lower than FW 1.24 .
The indicator on the adapter itself will also show that it has switched to the game wheel mode:
Cronusmax PLUS can now be disconnected from PC .
Connect USB hub
For seamless authorization on PS4, you will need a compatible USB hub . Connect it to INPUT input of Cronusmax PLUS. Connect the DS4 controller to the hub port number 1 , and your steering wheel to the port number 4 .
For XBOX ONE, the “native” controller for authorization is needed only once, when the console is turned on, so you can do without a hub — when you turn it on, log in and then “plug” the steering wheel. nine0019
In turn, for PS4, authorization, lasting within a second, is required every 10 minutes, and if there is no hub, and “hands itch”, you can try to play in this mode, with a short shutdown every 10 minutes: for this, in the second paragraph of this instruction check the box “Enable PS4 partial crossover support (auto reconnect every 10 min)”.
Skip this paragraph, as well as the next one.
Connect hub to Cronusmax PLUS
Connect USB hub to INPUT adapter port:
Connect Cronusmax PLUS to set-top box
Port OUTPUT connect Cronusmax PLUS with game console :
Turn on the console
Switch on the console not from the console. The indicator of the adapter will display first “A”-”U” , which indicates the authorization of the “native” console on the console, then “0” , if successful:
If the indicator shows “E”, something is wrong, the firmware of the device may need to be updated or the USB hub is not compatible. For such questions, you can always contact our technical support service for detailed advice.
Enjoy playing the latest racing games with your favorite steering wheel!
We wish you joy from the process and high victories!

Prevention and repair of the steering wheel Logitech G25 and G27 All avid fans of racing games are well aware of the wheels of this manufacturer, but the most popular steering wheel among racers can rightfully be considered
G27 . And indeed, this steering wheel is very good and reliable! But like any good thing, it has its flaws or shortcomings. Here are some of the shortcomings in the reliability of the rudders G25 and G27 I will tell you, and also show you how you can fix these problems on your own in order to avoid a more serious repair!
First, I’ll tell you what happened to my steering wheel. After about 4 years of operation of the steering wheel, play appeared in it. Which happened during operation, the steering wheel backlash in front and back. At first it was insignificant, but as time goes by, the backlash has increased. As a result, one day, during the operation of the steering wheel, something clicked in it and the steering wheel lost its centering.
Moreover, with the further work of the steering wheel, the center went to the right more and more. Actually, after that, I decided to start repairing my favorite steering wheel, but before that I collected all the necessary information via the Internet. Although with difficulty, I found all the information I needed on this topic. As a result, after three hours of my own witchcraft over my steering wheel, I managed to fix it completely! I want to note right away that the breakdown of my steering wheel, after all the clarified circumstances, is a manufacturer’s defect. Therefore, I recommend to all owners of their G25 and G27, regardless of whether you bought it new yesterday, or everything is in order with your steering wheel now, to carry out this preventive maintenance, and if the steering wheel has play, then a mandatory repair. nine0019 Let’s start!
To get started, you need to buy Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive . It’s not expensive and easy to find.
Lubrication is also required.
The best option is thick silicone grease for use in plastic gears, plastic gears, etc., but it is quite difficult to find, if not found, then lithol , not much worse option grease .
Tool — Allen key and a pair of Phillips screwdrivers. nine0003
We begin to disassemble the steering wheel
Unscrew the six steering bolts with a hexagon.
Carefully lift the steering wheel and unscrew the steering column switch board.
Disconnect the board connector.
The steering wheel and column are now separated from each other.
Unscrew the three bolts of the steering column switch block.
The steering column switch box is completely separated from the steering axle. Please note — the axis is made of durable, but still plastic. Not good. nine0003
Turn over the column and unscrew the bolts, as shown in the figure.
Carefully remove the cover and get this picture.
And here is the culprit of the malfunction. In addition to a broken piece of the bearing cage, there were a few more cracks. In fairness, I should note that the plastic used is quite fragile. This is the manufacturer’s fault!
There are several options to fix this breakdown
The first one is quite laborious and not sure which is better, and definitely not needed for those whose steering wheel is still in order:
You will need clamp 70-90 mm and two-component epoxy glue.
In the radial gussets, use a dremel to make cuts 9mm deep.
We install the collar, tighten and restore the strength characteristics of the scarves with epoxy glue. We check that everything that should rotate rotates.
The second repair option, I used for my steering wheel and it consists in not using a clamp, but simply pouring a thick layer of epoxy glue around the entire perimeter of the bearing and this will be quite enough, because this glue, after hardening, becomes like a stone and has very strong characteristics.
