What sets the Simagic FX Wheel apart?
-
Lightweight and Durable Carbon Fiber The Simagic FX Wheel is built with a 5mm high-quality carbon fiber plate, making it strong yet incredibly light. Weighing only 1500g, this reduced rotational mass helps you feel the road more clearly, adding that extra layer of control and feedback you need in formula racing. Compared to heavier wheels, it offers a significant reduction in effort while driving.
-
Patented Hall Paddle Module Unlike traditional paddle shifters, the Simagic FX uses patented Hall paddle technology for a crisp, tactile feel with every shift. This innovation offers more precise activation and extended durability, so you’ll enjoy consistently smooth shifts for the long haul. The feedback from users often mentions how satisfying it is to engage the paddles during intense racing sessions.
-
Customizable RGB Lighting The FX Wheel stands out with its 12 customizable RGB buttons that light up and change color based on your telemetry settings. Whether it’s flashing for ABS, traction control, or DRS, these lights are not only functional but easy on the eyes. The soft glow ensures you can race in darker conditions without being distracted by overly bright indicators.
-
Ergonomic Silicone Grips Custom silicone grips offer a comfortable hold that keeps you in control even during extended racing sessions. The textured surface provides a secure grip without causing hand fatigue, a key factor for sim racers putting in long hours behind the wheel. This feature is frequently highlighted by users for its comfort and reliability under pressure.

Simagic FX Wheel Compatibility
The Simagic FX Wheel is designed exclusively for use with SIMAGIC wheelbases, meaning you won’t be able to mount it on other brands’ systems. The included 50mm SIMAGIC Quick Release ensures easy attachment and removal, so switching between wheels during a race is seamless. It offers compatibility with popular sim racing cockpits and wheelstands, provided you are using a SIMAGIC base setup. Unfortunately, its compatibility is quite limited outside the SIMAGIC ecosystem, so if you're not using their wheelbase, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
As far as gaming platforms go, the Simagic FX Wheel is strictly PC-only and not compatible with consoles like the PlayStation or Xbox. It works flawlessly with PC-based racing sims such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and rFactor 2. The wheel’s RGB buttons can be customized through the SimPro Manager software, allowing you to adapt the wheel to each sim’s specific telemetry feedback, but console players will have to find an alternative.
