Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel R330 V2

330 mm round leather rim with neon blue and orange accents on the CSL Universal Hub V2

Description

The Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel R330 V2 bundles the ClubSport Wheel Rim R330 with the CSL Universal Hub V2. The multi-purpose, fully round three-spoke rim measures 330 mm, has ergonomic grips and is covered in durable smooth genuine leather with a neon blue center stripe and neon orange stitching. The rim weighs 860 g (911 g with its black metal hub cover, embossed with the Fanatec "F" signet).

CSL Universal Hub V2. A stepless slider (60 mm of travel) adjusts the button islands and paddles to the rim (paddle width 214-274 mm). Metal bracing adds up to 23% rigidity over V1, and the honeycomb-reinforced paddles have a revised shape and spring mechanism.

Inputs. Eight snap-dome buttons, a 2-way rocker, two 2-way toggle switches, a 7-way FunkySwitch with rotary encoder, a Tuning Menu button and a three-digit LED display. Button islands are not removable. Not compatible with the Podium Button Module Endurance.

Quick release. QR2 Lite Wheel-Side in carbon fiber-reinforced composite.

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. Windows PC and PlayStation with a PlayStation-licensed base; not compatible with Xbox.

Driving style

The CSL R330 V2 is a 330 mm round aluminium rim in genuine smooth leather on the expanding CSL Universal Hub with QR2 Lite, a classic touring-car diameter that flatters road cars and GT racers. The larger wheel smooths inputs for relaxed but precise driving, leather suits bare hands and gloves alike, and the hub keeps the setup affordable across Assetto Corsa, iRacing and Gran Turismo-style racing. Best for GT, touring and road-car racing; less suited for formula cars, drifting and esports sprints that reward smaller rims.

Build quality

Mid-range build

The three-spoke rim is aluminium at 330 mm, roughly 860 g, covered in genuine smooth leather, so grip and structure are properly made. The CSL Universal Hub V2 expands steplessly by 60 mm with metal bracing for up to 23% more rigidity than V1, adjustable paddles and non-removable snap-dome button islands. Materials are mixed metal and polymer, with stiffness concentrated in the metal bracing and rim.

Software

The CSL R330 V2 runs entirely through the Fanatec base it mounts to: firmware, Tuning Menu and force feedback settings are configured in the Fanatec App for Windows PC, which also updates the base and the quick release electronics. On console, compatibility follows the base: pair it with a PlayStation-licensed base for PS4 and PS5, while PC works with any Fanatec base. Inputs and telemetry use the Fanatec SDK in supported games, and SimHub can push custom dashboards to compatible displays.

Frequently asked questions

Which wheel bases and consoles does the CSL Steering Wheel R330 V2 work with?

It needs a Fanatec wheel base. Fanatec lists Podium DD1/DD2, ClubSport V2/V2.5, CSL Elite bases, CSL DD and Gran Turismo DD Pro for the CSL V2 bundles. It works on Windows PC and on PlayStation with a PlayStation-licensed base, where functionality can be limited by the game. It is not compatible with Xbox.

Is the QR2 Lite strong enough for a high-torque base?

Sources differ. The product page says the bundle has no torque limitation (a firmware update may be needed). Fanatec's own QR2 guide says the composite QR2 Lite does not support High Torque Mode on Podium DD bases, has limited support on ClubSport DD, and is best suited to CSL DD (5 or 8 Nm); it recommends the metal QR2 for higher force feedback.

How do the CSL Universal Hub V2 paddles and buttons feel?

OC Sim Racing found the paddles satisfying with comfortable travel and a moderate click, and noticed no significant flex thanks to the metal-braced slider (Fanatec quotes up to 23% more rigidity than V1). Buttons have a firm action, but the hub is mostly injection-molded plastic and the button icons are fixed. There are no clutch paddles.

Does the CSL hub fit a rim as large as 330 mm?

Yes. The slider expands by 60 mm and the paddle width adjusts from 214 to 274 mm; OC Sim Racing notes it covers rims from the 275 mm Flat 1 up to the 330 mm R330. Fanatec warns that larger, dished rims make buttons and paddles harder to reach, so reach to the outer edge of a 330 mm rim depends on hand size.

How does it compare with the ClubSport Steering Wheel R330 V2?

Both use the 330 mm R330 rim. The ClubSport version ($514.99) adds removable button clusters, 16 integrated buttons, a CNC aluminum magnetic paddle module and a metal QR2; the CSL version costs $264.99 on Fanatec US.

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 CSL R330 V2 good value?

Fanatec US lists it at $264.99 (regular $369.98); the CSL Universal Hub V2 alone is $189.99. OC Sim Racing considered the CSL hub plus rim bundles a strong, sturdy option for the price, with the main trade-off being plastic construction.

What does the LED display show and how do I change settings?

Press the Tuning Menu button and use the FunkySwitch to adjust force feedback and hardware settings on the three-digit LED display. In compatible games or third-party software it also shows telemetry such as the current gear, which reviewers note is useful for console players.
