Cube controls GT Steering wheels?

Hi, I have the Furmula Sport (USB) i am happy with it. Only point is that the shifter are a little bit to loud. May i found a solution to remove this noise

The wireless wheels have a function ceiling.
Think I read 28 available functions, if more are needed you will have to go USB

Indeed, because the funky switch would consume 7 of the 28 available controls. Similar thing with the Formula Series rims. There is no wireless option if you want the clutch paddles. As to why the 28 button limitation - I don’t know.

As for being able to reach the blue thumb encoders - easy enough to reach, but need to move the thumb quite far down. I have medium size hands (I guess), and can reach them without moving my hands off the normal position. Definitely can’t touch them accidentally though, which is good.

Sure wish I could quiet down by Ascher shifters.

Using smaller magnet helps. I changed mine to the supplied 3mm magnets and they’re a bit quieter.

Yeah.
would be 29 in total 20+7 for the funky switch + 2 for the shifters so makes sense after all.
Would be nice if true drive 28 inputs limitation is increased one day.

Meanwhile this teaser just popped up on twitter…

Any guesses guys :thinking:

I just got a GT Lite and while it feels solid overall I have a few niggles:

The 7-way funky switch is a total pain to use, especially with gloves. I don’t like that it does not click for each direction (the click is from the push button activating), and its rotary function is impooooossible to use without a million accidental directional inputs with gloves.
Anybody share my impression?

Also, would love to hear good ideas for the top pair of toggle switches. They are described as “on-off” on CC’s website, so I was surprised to see that they just transmit the signal once when operated, the same in both directions. What have you mapped there?

Just noticed that the prices went down (by 150-160 € ish) after the new GT-X was released. No more free shipping though.

Edit: turns out the vat is not included.

Imo the top toggles are good for things like: ignition, headlights, wipers. Not all sim software supports non-momemtary toggles however. Iracing and ACC do though.

Yeah, non-momentary could be an issue in some software. I just think they should have gone with normal buttons. These are functionally the same, except more fiddly (especially in VR when you don’t know whether to expect it flipped up or down, bad for muscle memory).

It’s the second-best real-estate on the wheel, and they put something there that can’t be used for flashing headlights or push to talk or boosting.

Great info here guys. Thanks for sharing.
Was considering the OMP but that won’t happen now i guess. Might go with the new turn racing button plate with wheel or SRB GT3.

I use the top left toggle for lights on/off; bottom left toggle up for light cycle; bottom left toggle down for flash… then top right for wipers on/off; bottom right up for cycle wipers; bottom right down for dash page cycle. This leaves all the other buttons free for more often used controls.

Guys, any idea if these toggle switches work in AC, RF2 & AMS2?

Yes. If you’ve been following the discussion, they are just equivalent to momentary button presses.

The top two are 2 way non momentary and the bottom two are 3 way momentary. I’ll test in these 3 sims to see whether the top two work there as expected. The bottom 2 work anywhere.

The physical switches are non-momentary, but they just send a short signal upon toggling (in both directions) which is why I keep saying that they are functionally equivalent to a momentary push button, except more fiddly.

Note that I am discussing the two top ones, since those are the only ones on my wheel (I have the Lite)

Apologies SleipnirRacing! You’re right. I did not consider the possibility of such 2-way toggle switch behaviour. That means it will work in any software though, which is probably the reason they did it. Would otherwise have tons of customers calling in saying their toggles don’t work.

On a custom button box I made for myself, I have a proper non momentary toggle switch for ignition, and that one is subject to software supporting non momentary on/off toggles. Personally I think it’s kind of ridiculous not to support it in “sim” software. Iracing seems to be the only one to take custom controller support seriously. Especially evident in their support for the ALPS 7-way funky switches that don’t work properly in any other sim I’ve tried so far.
