Fanatec ClubSport Shifter Carbon Knobs Kit
Matte carbon H-pattern and sequential knobs with weighted metal cores for ClubSport shifters
Description
The Fanatec ClubSport Shifter Carbon Knobs Kit is a pair of matte carbon fibre gear knobs for Fanatec's ClubSport shifters: one round H-pattern knob and one sequential (SQ) knob.
Weight. Both knobs have weighted metal cores: the round knob weighs 220 g and the SQ knob 141 g. The heavier round knob suits H-pattern shifting.
Shape. The SQ knob is significantly shorter and smaller in diameter than the standard metal SQ knob, which Fanatec says also makes it pleasant for H-pattern use; its compact shape allows quicker hand movements.
Fit. Standard automotive M12x1.5 thread. Compatible with the ClubSport Shifter, ClubSport Shifter V1.5, ClubSport Shifter SQ, ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 and the SQ V1.5 Limited Edition 2019.
Features & highlights
Driving style
The ClubSport Shifter Carbon Knobs Kit is for ClubSport Shifter SQ owners who want a more premium look and feel. The heavy round knob gives a satisfying click into each gear for H-pattern driving in classic cars, touring cars and drifting in Assetto Corsa or rally in EA SPORTS WRC, while the compact sequential knob suits fast upshifts in GT, rally and touring cars and reduces hand fatigue in long stints, according to Fanatec.
Best for ClubSport shifter owners who want an aesthetic and tactile upgrade; less suited for buyers looking for a functional improvement, since the shifter mechanism is unchanged.
Build quality
Hand-crafted carbon fibre outer layer with a matte finish over weighted metal cores (220 g round, 141 g SQ), threaded M12x1.5. Materials are a step above the stock knobs in look and feel.
Software
The Carbon Knobs Kit is a mechanical accessory and needs no software. The ClubSport Shifter it fits is configured through the Fanatec App on Windows PC or connects through a Fanatec wheel base on console.
