Cube Controls is a well known Italian company that is taking the sim racing market by storm with their top quality products. What are those top quality products? Let's take a tour to have a look at what they have to present and what we will be offering on our websites globally!

Formula F-CORE

Entry tier product is a formula style wheel rim which was very recently introduced under the name F-Core and is a perfect combination of fantastic ergonomics, build quality and value for money.

It is a cheaper cousin to F-Pro wheel which after several modifications can be offered to customers who wish to have a fantastic wheel to play with, without many extra features that are not essential to that person like backlight buttons, rev lights, extra rotary switches and thumb encoders.

Formula F-PRO

Next in line is the previously mentioned F-PRO which was introduced last year and has become one of the biggest sellers for the company thanks to its extremely well thought out design, multitude of features, backlight switches, many extra switches, rotary d-pads and last but not least, you can use this wheel in wireless mode with compatible hardware like Simucube 2! Fantastic option if you don’t wish to have a cable hanging around 😁

Formula CSX-3

From the formula wheel line up there is one more that needs to be mentioned and it’s one of the best wheels available on the market right now. CSX-3 Formula Sim Racing Wheel Rim!

It’s the top tier wheel that any enthusiast would love to have thanks to plethora of features which were also present with the F-PRO but this time it also comes with a touch sensitive screen and LED lights which can be configured to your liking through software like Simhub to show you the information that you really need and want. It’s definitely a marvel to look at, hold and use!

Wheel comes with 4 or 6 paddles (optional) at the back which can be used for multiple functions with bottom ones working as analog switches which are perfect for simulating clutch paddles on a formula car. Gear shift paddles are magnetic for extremely tactile and engaging shift sensation every single time you pull the lever!

GT Sport and GT Pro Wheel Rim

Cube Controls recognizes the desire in many people to get GT shaped wheels too that’s why they offer both GT Sport and GT Pro wheels which offer a magnificent value for the money with top quality materials used.

GT Sport and Pro have plenty in common with only differences being the backlight buttons which can be a good way to customize if you want to have a full bling setup or more understated racing environment.

Last but not least we arrived at their brand new product which was showcased during Sim Racing Expo in Germany and made everyone turn their head.
