What It Is / How It Works

This USB handbrake is a sim racing handbrake for PC. It is built around a 200kg load cell sensor and a stainless steel body, and it is designed for drivers who want a dedicated brake control in their simulator setup.

Who It's For / Use Cases

Sim racers who want a dedicated handbrake for drifting and rally driving will find the load cell input suited to those styles of driving. Gamers playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 who need precise parking and maneuvering control can use it for truck simulation. Enthusiasts building a realistic sim racing cockpit and competitive racers who need adjustable settings to fine-tune their brake feel are also well matched to this handbrake.

How to Use / Care

1. Use the handbrake for drifting, rally and truck simulation games, where the 200kg load cell sensor gives accurate input.
2. Set the output to linear axis mode when you want the game to read the exact amount of brake pressure you apply.
3. Use button output mode when you want the handbrake to act as a simple on/off switch.

How to Choose

Choose the output mode first. Linear axis mode suits games that read analog brake pressure, and button mode suits games that expect a simple on or off input. Next, check the operating systems in the Compatibility row of the Specifications section. Finally, consider how you will mount it, since the included mounting hardware suits most aluminum profile or pre-drilled rigs.
