Cube Controls Astra Ratt försöker inte efterlikna motorsport—det är motorsport. Från första vridningen av de CNC-frästa rattarna till det taktila klicket i paddlarna av kolfiber, är varje detalj konstruerad för att skapa kontakt. Du kommer att känna den kalla fastheten i aluminiumchassit under dina fingrar, det säkra greppet från de omdesignade silikongreppen och den tillfredsställande återkopplingen från knapparna som känns skulpterade snarare än monterade. Ett helt nytt internt chipset och SimHub-nivå av RGB-anpassning gör denna ratt inte bara responsiv utan också anpassningsbar till din rigg och din körstil. Vad skiljer Cube Controls Astra Ratt från mängden? Genomtänkt ergonomi Astras grepp passar inte bara dina händer—de välkomnar dem. Jämfört med de bulkigare eller mer aggressiva profilerna på andra formelrattar, hittar dessa silikongrepp en sällsynt balans mellan komfort och kontroll. De har precis rätt mängd motstånd, och beläggningen håller bra under långa sessioner. Inga blåsor, inget glid. Det är en typ av design som uppenbarligen kommer från ett team som spenderar timmar på banan—inte bara bakom en CAD-skärm. Tysta men tillfredsställande växlare Många avancerade rattar lider fortfarande av högljudda paddlar eller otydliga kopplingssvar. Astras Eloi-system förändrar allt detta. Paddlarna i kolfiber är tysta men levererar ändå en krispig, mekanisk känsla som är beroendeframkallande. Det finns inget klumpigt överresande eller ”dödzon”-känsla som vissa andra magnetiska system lider av. Det är en unik kombination av tyst drift och tydlig, avsiktlig återkoppling vid varje växling. Bästa knappkänslan i klassen Medan många konkurrenter överanvänder generiska knappmoduler, har Astra specialtillverkade taktila knappar i en egen klass. Aktiveringen är fast men medveten, och deras placering uppmuntrar muskelminne. Du behöver inte längre titta ner för att hitta en strömbrytare mitt i ett lopp. Och RGB-belysningen är inte bara för utseendet—den tillför tydliga visuella signaler som fungerar utmärkt både i starkt och svagt ljus. Modulär men sammanhängande design Vissa modulära rattar känns som ett pussel av delar. Inte Astra. Trots kompatibilitet med flera snabbfästessystem och plattformar känns hela enheten enhetlig och genomtänkt. Varje encoder, strömbrytare och joystick är placerad med avsikt. Även dess vikt på 1150g—med nav—är perfekt balanserad, vilket minskar trötthet utan att kännas flytande eller ihålig. Det är en sällsynt ratt som känns skräddarsydd men ändå helt anpassningsbar.

Oavsett om du använder en Simucube 2, Moza R9, Fanatec DD2 (via Podium Hub) eller till och med en Asetek-bas, så fungerar den. Den är särskilt flexibel tack vare det medföljande navet, men observera att Fanatec-baser kräver deras Podium Hub för integration, som vanligt. Den USB-drivna PCB:n och Q-CONN magnetkabelsystemet gör anslutningen enkel mellan olika riggar. Dock är denna ratt inte direkt kompatibel med Logitech- eller Thrustmaster-plattformar. När det gäller plattformsstöd är Astra strikt endast för PC. Den fungerar inte direkt med konsoler som PlayStation eller Xbox, inte ens via tredjepartslösningar. Detta beror på att den använder en direkt USB-anslutning och förväntar sig att SimHub eller liknande programvara på PC hanterar dess funktioner och RGB-effekter. De flesta populära simtitlar—som iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2 och Automobilista 2—fungerar felfritt direkt ur lådan. Men om du kör konsol, kommer denna tyvärr inte att snurra ditt hjul.

Cube Controls Core Bundle sammanför två välkonstruerade komponenter i ett tätt integrerat setup: SP01 Core pedalerna och F-Core ratten. Pedalerna erbjuder en skarp mekanisk känsla med smidig aktivering tack vare anpassade maskinbearbetade komponenter och en 200kg lastcell, medan F-Core ratten ger säker kontroll genom sin kolfiberkonstruktion och dubbel USB/Bluetooth-anslutning. Detta är ett bundle som känns genomtänkt byggt från grunden—konstruerat för simracers som vill ha pålitlig prestanda utan att ge upp modulära alternativ eller stil. Vad särskiljer Cube Controls Core Bundle? Precision Bearbetade SP01 Pedaler SP01 Core pedalerna utmärker sig genom sin fullständiga CNC-bearbetade aluminiumkonstruktion och användning av press-fit kullager, vilket ger långvarig strukturell integritet och smidig drift. Den justerbara fjäderpreloaden och gaspedalens slaglängd låter dig finjustera pedalens känsla i fina steg, vilket simracers ofta påpekar hjälper till att utveckla mer konsekvent fotarbete under långa pass. Det är en enkel mekanisk design som levererar tydlighet under press. Load Cell Broms med Direkt Kraftapplikation 200kg lastcellen är inte bara till för show—dess placering och mekaniska hävstång är designade för att ge en mer direkt känsla av bromskraft. Istället för att använda indirekta kopplingar applicerar systemet tryck direkt på sensorn, vilket ger en fastare, mer linjär inmatningskänsla. Resultatet är en bromspedal som känns kontrollerad och progressiv även under maximal belastning, vilket många användare anser vara särskilt värdefullt för trail braking i GT- eller Formel-stil bilar. F-Core Ratt: Fyllig Funktion utan Överflöd Med sin kolfiberfront, taktila knappar, 12 momentana ingångar och dubbel USB/Bluetooth-anslutning täcker F-Core alla baser utan att bli överväldigande. De uppdaterade greppen och den förbättrade switchlayouten får beröm för komfort och användarvänlighet under långa sessioner. Denna ratt stöder också valfria aluminiumkopplingsuppgraderingar, vilket betyder att den är flexibel nog att växa med din rigg över tid. Välmatchad Designfilosofi Detta bundle är inte bara två bra produkter paketera tillsammans—det är ett set byggt med sammanhängande ergonomi och en konsekvent känsla. Användare har påpekat hur både pedaler och ratt erbjuder liknande taktil feedback, hållbara ytbehandlingar och monteringsflexibilitet. Denna samstämmighet betyder något när du spenderar timmar på att finjustera din racing—mindre tid för att justera, mer tid för att köra. Fördelar och Nackdelar Fördelar Nackdelar Utmärkt pedaljusterbarhet och modulär design Ingen koppling ingår som standard Ratten har Bluetooth och USB dubbelanslutning Valfri hubb krävs för full kompatibilitet Solida material och taktil knappfeedback Pedalerna kan kräva extra monteringsinsats Specifikationer Specifikation Värde Rattens Frontplatta Kolfiber (4mm) Pedalkonstruktion CNC-bearbetad aluminium, rostfria stålbeslag Bromssensor 200kg lastcell Gas-sensor 16-bitars Hall-sensor Rattanslutning USB + Bluetooth Batteri LiPo 2000 mAh (upp till 6 timmars användning) Encoder 2 fram, 2 tum, 1 multidirektionell joystick Pedaljusteringar Preload, slaglängd, fjäderkompression Rattens Greppstorlek Grepp-till-grepp: 290mm, Max Diameter: 43mm Vikt Ratt 895g Cube Controls Core Bundle Kompatibilitet F-Core ratten är kompatibel med alla standard formula-style quick release hubs med 3-bult, 70mm PCD mönster. Användare kan montera den på de flesta populära DD-baser med minimal ansträngning. Den stöder både USB och Bluetooth anslutningar, vilket ger dig friheten att konfigurera din setup efter kabelhantering eller trådlösa preferenser. SP01 Core pedalerna använder en USB-C anslutning och fungerar som en fristående inmatningsenhet, vilket betyder att de inte är beroende av hjulbasintegration. Båda komponenterna är fullt kompatibla med Windows PC, och drivrutiner finns tillgängliga via Cube Controls supportwebbplats. Vad gäller plattformskompatibilitet är detta bundle designat för PC-baserade simracing setup. Även om vissa har försökt med konsolintegration via adaptrar, är det officiella stödet begränsat till Windows PC-plattformar. Spel som iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2 och Automobilista 2 känner direkt igen båda enheterna via USB. Men konsolkompatibilitet (PlayStation, Xbox) stöds inte direkt och kräver tredjepartsadaptrar som DriveHub—utan några garanterade resultat.
