Description
Cube Controls GT-X2 Steering Wheel is where modern sim hardware meets serious functionality, wrapped in a sleek, motorsport-inspired design. The 5-inch touchscreen display delivers telemetry in real-time while letting you fine-tune your setup mid-stint, and the interchangeable 30 or 32 cm grip diameter means it fits the hand like a tailored glove. With its sturdy aluminum body, backlit controls, and a thoughtfully laid out interface, the GT-X2 is less about flash and more about dialing in every detail that matters.
What Sets the Cube Controls GT-X2 Steering Wheel apart?
-
Touchscreen Dashboard That Talks Back The 5-inch touchscreen isn’t just for show—it’s wired to SimHub and delivers actual value. From tire temps to delta laps and flag warnings, everything’s at your fingertips, literally. The ability to interact with settings or monitor telemetry on the fly without extra hardware earns big praise from racers who like staying focused on the track while making adjustments on the fly.
-
Swappable Grip Sizes for Personalized Fit Being able to switch between 30 cm and 32 cm grip diameters with the same wheel rim is a rare and welcome touch. Whether you're into GT endurance or tighter formula-style handling, you can set it up to match your driving preference. Sim racers mention how useful this is for multi-discipline racing—no need to swap out the whole rim, just change the grip shell and go.
-
Customizable RGB Across the Board From RPM LEDs to button backlights and even toggle switch indicators, everything is individually addressable via SimHub. You can assign colors to gear shifts, fuel warnings, or ABS activation—whatever makes sense to your setup. It’s a subtle but appreciated level of personalization that helps keep race-critical info clear without cluttering your view.
-
Functional Layout That Doesn’t Waste Space Between the 10 RGB buttons, 2 funky switches, 2 thumb encoders, 2 front encoders, and well-placed toggle switches, you’re covered for just about every sim input imaginable. The layout feels purpose-built—spaced out for gloves, reachable without lifting off the wheel. Feedback highlights how intuitive it feels mid-race, especially in fast-paced scenarios where hesitation costs time.

The Cube Controls GT-X2 Steering Wheel is fully PC compatible via USB and works seamlessly with SimHub for dashboard telemetry, LED controls, and RGB customization. The Q-CONN magnetic cable provides a stable, detachable link for power and data. It's engineered for direct drive wheelbases and is commonly used with Simucube, VRS, and other high-torque rigs via the appropriate hub adapter. The layout, weight, and feedback design are all built with DD performance in mind.
This wheel is strictly not compatible with consoles. There is no support for PlayStation or Xbox, and it does not function through console-native firmware or ecosystems. The GT-X2 is made for PC-based simulation platforms and supports all major sim titles like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, ACC, and rFactor 2. If you're running a dedicated PC sim setup and want tactile controls paired with a fully integrated telemetry screen, this wheel fits the brief.
