What sets the Sim Racing USB Hub apart?
-
Dedicated Power Supply Unlike standard USB hubs, the included 12V power adapter guarantees that even the most power-hungry peripherals, such as wheels with displays or high-end pedals, get consistent power. This feature solves one of the most common issues racers face with USB hubs—lack of enough power, especially when using multiple demanding devices.
-
Tailored for Sim Rigs Designed specifically for aluminum profile chassis, this hub integrates seamlessly into your rig. The included mounting kit ensures a clean, secure fit. No more makeshift solutions—this hub slots into the 8mm slots of your rig perfectly, making it look like it was custom-built for your setup.
-
Multiple USB Port Options Available in 4 3.0 ports, you can choose the version that best fits your needs. This level of flexibility isn't always common in the market, where hubs are typically one-size-fits-all. With this hub, you can expand your rig's connectivity based on how many devices you run.
-
Fast Data Transfer Speeds With USB 3.0, you get speeds up to 5 Gbps, ensuring quick and smooth data transfer between your devices. This feature is crucial when dealing with racing peripherals that require fast and reliable communication with your PC, like your pedal set, button boxes, and telemetry tools.

Sim Racing USB Hub Compatibility
The Sim Racing USB Hub is specifically designed for sim rigs using aluminum profiles with 8mm slots, ensuring a perfect fit without the need for additional modifications. The included mounting kit secures the hub tightly, allowing easy access to the ports while maintaining a clean aesthetic. Its compatibility extends to devices using USB 3.0, such as your button boxes, shifters, and steering wheels. However, it does not support rigs or peripherals that require USB-C connectivity out of the box.
Be aware that the hub comes with a European socket (Type C/E/F), meaning you'll need a converter for setups using Type A or Type B plugs. This can be a minor inconvenience for users outside of Europe, so double-check your power setup before installation. But once it's running, you'll have no issue powering even the most demanding devices like steering wheels with integrated displays.
The Sim Racing USB Hub interfaces smoothly with both PC and console platforms, provided your racing peripherals are compatible with those systems. It doesn’t directly control any game software, but it helps you manage multiple USB devices in tandem, making it easier to switch between consoles and PC while keeping all your hardware connected.
