Description
Conspit 290GP Formula Wheel is built like it’s ready to go straight into a Formula garage, and honestly, it feels that way when you wrap your hands around the Enduro grips. This wheel doesn’t just look good—it’s sculpted for serious use. The 3D ergonomic layout puts everything exactly where your fingers expect it, while the 4.3" LCD display delivers crisp, race-critical telemetry in real-time. It’s the kind of gear that makes every stint feel like qualifying. Not flashy, just serious performance—exactly how it should be.
What Sets the Conspit 290GP Formula Wheel apart?
-
3D Ergonomics That Actually Make Sense Most wheels still cling to flat layouts, even if the human hand never evolved that way. Conspit tosses that idea with a fully contoured grip and control scheme that mimics aircraft HOTAS systems—every switch, dial, and button falls naturally under your thumbs. It's not just different, it’s smart, especially in high-pressure moments when hunting for controls needs to be second nature, not a treasure hunt.
-
Enduro Grips That Don’t Quit The grips on the 290GP get a lot of praise for good reason. They're made with a dual-injection TPU compound that holds up under sweat, stress, and long stints. Racers who've spent hours in endurance sessions report far less hand fatigue. It’s one of those features you only appreciate after a 90-minute stint—when your hands still feel solid and in control instead of cramping and sliding.
-
Display That Delivers Clarity Mid-Race The built-in 4.3" LCD doesn’t just sit there for looks. The 500 nit brightness and 60 fps refresh rate make it actually usable while you're mid-corner or blasting down the straight. Data like lap delta, tire temps, or gear selection is readable at a glance—no eye squinting or second guesses. And with customizable pages, you tailor it to exactly what you want to see, when you want to see it.
-
Clutch and Shifter System Inspired by the Real Deal That MagFlip rocker shifter isn’t just another magnetic paddle—it’s modeled after F1 tech, delivering push-pull function with seriously meaty engagement. Paired with the dual clutch setup, it gives you true launch control options without needing an external module. Feedback online consistently highlights how solid the action feels, and how close it comes to replicating the kind of input you’d get in high-tier motorsport hardware.

The Conspit 290GP Formula Wheel connects via USB cable and is built to work seamlessly with Windows PCs. It uses a 50mm M5*3 bolt pattern, which allows mounting to a variety of common bases—though it’s optimized around Conspit’s own quick release system. The proprietary CDP pin + ball quick release offers zero play and a more durable lock than typical D-style shafts, but it may require an adapter if you're trying to fit it onto third-party gear. No native support for consoles is currently available.
Platform-wise, the 290GP is tailored for PC sim racers only. It plays nicely with major sim titles like Assetto Corsa, iRacing, rFactor 2, and F1 23 through the Conspit Link 2.0 software. However, there is no compatibility with consoles such as PlayStation or Xbox. This is a dedicated PC wheel through and through, and it thrives in sim environments where fine-tuned input mapping and telemetry customization matter most.
