The Challenge: Mixing Premium Gear
You've invested in a Fanatec or Thrustmaster wheelbase—excellent choice. But now you want to upgrade to elite pedals from specialists like:
- Heusinkveld (Sprint, Ultimate+)
- Simagic (P1000, P2000)
- Conspit (CPP lite, CPP EVO)
The Problem:
These manufacturers create closed ecosystems. Connecting third-party pedals—especially on console—isn't straightforward.
The Question Every Racer Asks:
How do I make my best pedal setup work with my existing wheelbase?
PC Solution: Simple USB Method
For PC-Only Racers
If you only race on PC, you're in luck—it's simple.
How it works:
- Connect wheelbase → USB port 1
- Connect pedals → USB port 2
- Open your sim (iRacing, ACC, rFactor 2, etc.)
- Assign controls:
- Steering → Wheelbase
- Throttle/Brake → Pedals
✅ Advantages:
- No extra hardware needed
- Plug and play
- Works with all PC sims
❌ Critical Limitation:
- Does NOT work on PlayStation 5 or Xbox
- Console games require all inputs through the wheelbase
Console Solution: Pedal Control Box
The Only Real Solution for PS5/Xbox
For console racers or those wanting universal compatibility, you need a dedicated pedal control box.
What Is a Pedal Control Box?
An intelligent adapter that translates signals from your high-end pedals into a format your Fanatec or Thrustmaster wheelbase understands natively.
Think of it as: A translator between two languages (pedal signals ↔ wheelbase protocol)
