Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Round 1 V2 for Xbox

270 mm round vintage-Formula leather wheel on the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox

Description

The Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Round 1 V2 for Xbox bundles the ClubSport Wheel Rim Round 1 with the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox. Inspired by a 1980s Formula 1 wheel, the compact 270 mm round aluminum rim is covered in smooth genuine leather and weighs 715 g; its size suits fast movements and the round shape lets you spin it quickly.

Xbox compatibility. The hub's Microsoft chip makes any compatible Fanatec base, plus connected pedals, shifters and handbrakes, work on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Some features may not be supported on Xbox and depend on game support for the Fanatec SDK.

Paddles and controls. Preinstalled ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module (3 mm aluminum plates, CNC aluminum cage, neodymium magnets) with small and large plates; no clutch paddles out of the box (upgradable to the Podium Advanced Paddle Module). 16 integrated hub buttons, four adjustable and detachable 3-button clusters, a 7-way FunkySwitch, a Tuning Menu button and a three-digit LED display.

Modularity. Accepts all Fanatec rims and third-party rims with 6 x 70 mm or 3 x 50 mm bolt patterns. DataPort-C supports the Podium Button Module Endurance (sold separately; it does not fit the Round 1 rim).

Compatibility. Requires a Fanatec wheel base (not included): Podium DD1/DD2, ClubSport V2/V2.5, CSL Elite bases, CSL DD and Gran Turismo DD Pro. Works on Xbox, Windows PC and PlayStation with a PlayStation-licensed base. QR2 Wheel-Side included, packaged separately.

Driving style

Round 1 V2 for Xbox is a 270 mm leather-wrapped aluminium rim, the same diameter as many real classic-car wheels, built for drivers who steer with their hands rather than their thumbs. The compact size makes counter-steering fast in drift and rally sessions, the genuine smooth leather grip works with or without gloves, and the hub supplies 16 buttons, a FunkySwitch and crisp magnetic paddles for Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon, Assetto Corsa and DiRT Rally. Best for classic cars, drifting and rally; less suited for formula racing and drivers who want a display-heavy GT cockpit wheel.

Build quality

Mid-range build

The rim is a polished aluminium piece wrapped in genuine smooth leather at 715 g, light and warm to the touch with no painted plastic pretending to be metal. It mounts to the aluminium ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox, which carries the Xbox security chip for the whole system, is firmware-updatable and accepts any 6 x 70 mm or 3 x 50 mm bolt-pattern rim. The magnetic paddle module has a CNC-machined aluminium cage with 3 mm anodised plates and neodymium magnets; plastic is limited to the removable button clusters and FunkySwitch.

Software

The Round 1 V2 for Xbox has no driver of its own: firmware, Tuning Menu and force feedback settings run through the Fanatec wheel base it mounts to, configured in the Fanatec App for Windows PC, which also updates the base and the Universal Hub electronics. The Xbox license lives in the wheel, so it is plug-and-play on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One with any compatible Fanatec base, and it also works on PS4 and PS5 when paired with a PlayStation-licensed base; PC works with every Fanatec base. Buttons and encoders reach games through the Fanatec SDK, and SimHub can push custom telemetry to compatible displays.

Frequently asked questions

Does the ClubSport Steering Wheel Round 1 V2 for Xbox make my Fanatec base work on Xbox?

Yes. The ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox has a Microsoft compatibility chip, so any compatible Fanatec base (Podium DD1/DD2, ClubSport V2/V2.5, CSL Elite, CSL DD, Gran Turismo DD Pro) and its connected pedals, shifter and handbrake work on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Fanatec says hardware must run current firmware to keep Xbox compatibility.

Does it also work on PC and PlayStation?

Yes. On PC the wheel works with full functionality, and on PlayStation it works with a PlayStation-licensed Fanatec base, where features can be limited by the console and the game. Fanatec's hub comparison lists the Xbox hub as compatible with Windows PC, PlayStation (licensed base) and Xbox.

Will all buttons, LEDs and the display work on Xbox?

Not always. Fanatec says the Xbox OS limits wheels to roughly gamepad inputs, so extra buttons are either duplicates or have no function. Displays and LEDs gained SDK support in 2025 but only some games use it; the display still works for the Tuning Menu. Fanatec staff on the forum confirmed input limits are Microsoft's decision.

What kind of cars is the 270 mm Round 1 rim best for?

Fanatec based it on a 1980s Formula 1 wheel: the compact size suits fast movements and the round, smooth-leather rim can be spun quickly, which fits classic formula and vintage racers. A smaller rim gives less leverage against strong force feedback, so many drivers prefer 320-330 mm rims for GT and road cars.

Does it have clutch paddles, and how do the shifters feel?

No. The ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module has two magnetic shifters (3 mm aluminum plates, CNC aluminum cage, neodymium magnets) but no clutch paddles. Reviews describe a short, consistent, positive click without contact wear. Dual analog clutch paddles require the optional Podium Advanced Paddle Module.

How is it different from the regular ClubSport Round 1 V2?

The rim is the same; the difference is the hub. Fanatec staff explain the Xbox hub shares the regular hub's electronics, magnetic shifters and quick release, and adds an authentication chip and Xbox-style button caps. At Fanatec US the Xbox version costs $534.99 versus $514.99 for the PC/PlayStation version.

What warranty does Fanatec offer on this wheel?

Since June 3, 2025, Fanatec offers a three-year limited warranty on Fanatec-branded products bought from Fanatec or authorized retailers, plus a 30-day return window. Items in a bundle are covered individually, and wear, misuse or unauthorized modifications are excluded.

Is the bundle good value compared with buying the Xbox hub alone?

Fanatec US lists this bundle at $534.99 (regular $579.98), while the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox alone is $399.99. Reviewers suggest the hub alone mainly makes sense if you already own a rim or want a specific third-party one.

How do I adjust settings and keep the firmware up to date?

Press the Tuning button and use the FunkySwitch to change force feedback and hardware settings on the 3-digit display, which works on every platform including Xbox. Firmware is updated through the Fanatec driver on PC; Fanatec notes that current firmware is required to maintain Xbox compatibility.
