Fanatec Rim USB Conversion Kit

A small PCB that connects to the existing electronics in a Fanatec wheel rim to convert it to a standalone USB joystick controller.

Original Fanatec wheel rims are designed to work with a Fanatec wheel base, however, this device allows them to be used with other force feedback systems.

The PCB can be fitted to the CSW Formula, BMW GT, Porsche 918, Formula V2 and WRC rims, or to the CSW Universal Hub. When ordering for the CSW Universal Hub please select the Fanatec Conversion Cable to be 12 Pin. When ordering for the Formula V2 or WRC, please select 12 pin Y-cable.

All of the buttons, shifters, thumb sticks, encoder, shift lights and LED displays are fully functional and the FFB button acts as a regular push button. As with the original wheel you will be able to set your optimal shift points for the shift LEDS and display different information on the LED displays using the Fanaleds software.
