Description
Cube Controls F-Core Evo Formula Blue brings serious capability to an accessible sim racing wheel, packed with thoughtful features for drivers who value substance over flash. Its USB+Bluetooth Dual Mode connection gives you full flexibility with your setup, while the full metal rotary encoders deliver crisp, deliberate feedback with every turn. Built on a carbon-fiber front plate and die-cast aluminium body, it feels solid in your hands without weighing you down. Whether you’re chasing consistency in long stints or dialing in finesse lap after lap, this wheel holds up without excuses.
What Sets the Cube Controls F-Core Evo Formula Blue apart?
-
Improved Ergonomics with Silicon-Rubber Handgrips Most wheels at this price point overlook comfort during long sessions. The Evo’s silicon-rubber grips aren’t just soft—they mold slightly under your fingers, reducing fatigue while keeping grip locked in. Paired with subtle button guard improvements, everything lands where you want it, reducing fumbles mid-corner. It’s a small tweak that adds up during endurance races or when you're going full sweat mode through lap after lap.
-
Full Metal Encoders for Satisfying Input You’ll notice the difference immediately when you spin the rotary encoders. They don’t wobble or feel cheap—they click with solid, positive steps, helping you make quick adjustments without second guessing. Compared to the plastic mechanisms common in similarly priced gear, these are a serious upgrade, bringing consistency and a tactile edge to car setup changes on the fly.
-
Refined Paddle Shifting Experience The new shifter design on the F-Core Evo has been quietly praised for how dialed-in it feels. They're short-throw, low play, and offer solid engagement without excessive force. Feedback from users suggests they're quieter than expected, while still offering a mechanical bite. Whether you’re banging through gears in a GT3 or playing it smooth in a formula car, they hold up—and feel good doing it.
-
Reliable Dual Connectivity with Practical Battery Life Cube’s magnetic Q-CONN cable system is a win for hardwired setups, but Evo’s Bluetooth mode is more than a backup. Users have reported minimal lag and rock-steady connections, especially when using a decent USB adapter. And with a 2000mAh battery pushing up to 40 hours of runtime, you’re not constantly checking the charge mid-session.

Cube Controls F-Core Evo Formula Blue Compatibility
The Cube Controls F-Core Evo Formula Blue is compatible with a wide range of setups thanks to its standard 3-bolt 70mm PCD mount. It works seamlessly with formula-style quick release hubs, including many popular models from Simucube, Fanatec Podium hub (via adapter), and similar third-party platforms. However, users with Thrustmaster or Logitech bases may require an additional hub adapter, as direct mounting is not supported by default. It also supports both wired and wireless operation, giving you flexibility in how you route power and data.
On the platform side, the F-Core Evo is designed for PC use. Its USB and Bluetooth dual-mode connection allows it to pair with any Windows-based system without the need for proprietary drivers. It’s not natively compatible with PlayStation or Xbox consoles, though users have had partial success using devices like DriveHub—results vary depending on the game and system. For best results, stick with a Windows PC and a quality Bluetooth dongle if you go wireless.
