Precision Sim Engineering GPX Steering Wheel — Hand-built 290 mm F1-style wheel for PC and Mac

Precision Sim Engineering GPX Steering Wheel

Hand-built 290 mm F1-style wheel for PC and Mac

Description

The Precision Sim Engineering GPX is a 290 mm, Formula One-inspired steering wheel hand-built to order in the United Kingdom. PSE developed it with racing drivers, and it is used by professional drivers and sim racers.

Controls and display. The GPX has 9 rotary dials, 12 push buttons and a full-color LCD for live data such as tire temperatures or laps remaining. PSE magnetic gear shifters with carbon fiber paddles are standard, and dual-clutch paddles with an adjustable bite point are optional.

Connection and compatibility. The wheel connects to a PC or Mac through its own USB input over a replaceable coiled cable, with no HDMI or power adapter. It mounts to any 50.8 mm quick release coupling (not included) and is listed as compatible with Simucube SC1/SC2, SimSteering, OSW, AccuForce, and Fanatec Podium and CSW 2.5 bases via the Fanatec Podium Hub. It does not work on PlayStation or Xbox.

Lead time. PSE quotes up to 4 weeks for each hand-built wheel.

Driving style

The GPX is a Formula wheel through and through. Its 290 mm size, nine rotary dials and optional dual-clutch paddles suit open-wheel cars in the F1 games, iRacing, rFactor 2 and Assetto Corsa, where brake bias, differential and engine maps are changed every lap, and its LCD keeps live data in view. It also works for prototypes and GT cars with a Formula-style layout.

Best for serious PC or Mac sim racers on a high-end direct drive base who want a hand-built F1 wheel; less suited for beginners, console players, or drift and rally driving that needs a larger round wheel.

Build quality

Premium build

The GPX is hand-built to order in the UK with injection-molded polyurethane grips, magnetic gear shifters with carbon fiber paddles and an industrial-grade, replaceable coiled USB cable. Buyer's guides single it out for exceptional build quality and attention to detail.

Software

The GPX appears on PC or Mac as a USB controller, so buttons and dials map directly in each sim. PSE requires FanaLEDs software to drive the LCD display and LEDs; SimHub-based dashboards are also common with wheel displays of this type.

There is no PlayStation or Xbox support, and the wheel does not use the base's wiring, so it is independent of the base brand's software.

Frequently asked questions

Which wheel bases is the PSE GPX compatible with?

PSE lists any base with a 50.8 mm quick release coupling (not included), including Simucube SC1 and SC2, SimSteering, OSW and AccuForce (AccuForce QR not included). Fanatec Podium and CSW 2.5 bases work through the Fanatec Podium Hub, sold separately; PSE also offers an optional Fanatec/AccuForce adapter.

Does the GPX work on PlayStation or Xbox?

No. The GPX connects to a PC or Mac through its own USB input and is not compatible with PlayStation or Xbox. Buyer's guides suggest the Fanatec Podium Formula wheels for Xbox users.

Does the GPX need extra power or HDMI for the display?

No. PSE states the wheel connects over USB only, with no HDMI or power adapter. The FanaLEDs software is required to drive the LCD display and LEDs.

How much does the GPX cost, and how long does it take to arrive?

PSE sells it from £1,749 direct, with dual clutches and the Fanatec/AccuForce adapter as paid options. Wheels are hand-built to order in the UK with a lead time of up to 4 weeks. US retailer Podium 1 Racing lists it at $3,315 but showed it out of stock when checked.

How does the GPX compare with other F1 sim racing wheels?

Flow Racers ranks it among the top F1 wheels for attention to detail, build quality and its full-color LCD, but calls it too expensive for most buyers. Cheaper alternatives it lists include the Fanatec ClubSport F1 Esports V2 and the Thrustmaster Open Wheel Add-On.

How do the GPX paddles and controls feel?

The GPX uses PSE magnetic gear shifters with carbon fiber paddles, and optional dual-clutch paddles have an adjustable bite point. Nine rotary dials and 12 push buttons cover in-car adjustments. Independent hands-on reviews are scarce; buyer's guides focus on its build quality.

Can the USB cable be replaced if it wears out?

Yes. PSE fits a replaceable, industrial-grade coiled USB cable, which matters on a wheel that does not route data through the base.
