After a few months of going back and forth on what direct drive wheel base to purchase I have settled on purchasing the Simucube 2 Pro version based on reading many hours of reviews as well as watching YouTube reviews, but mostly on end user satisfaction with the product and the company.
However have ran into a wall, Where can you actually buy a Simucube 2 Pro ? I have looked at what I believe to be every reseller site on the internet and not a one has it in stock ? and no information when they will become available ? Most simply say next shipment ? When is that ? Can any one from Granite Devices chime in to shed some light when we can expect widespread availability of the Pro version on this product line ? I did stumble across a hand full of Ultimate units, but they are above my pay grade
You and the other half of the newly ignited Sim community I am afraid. They were in high demand and low supply before Covid 19 - for GD this is a total blessing in disguise, the elevated exposure of sim racing has generated a market that pre - Covid19 could only be dreamed of.
Now the biggest issue they have is the backorder situation with limited access to factories and reduced production only exacerbates the issue.
I have two friends I am building rigs for currently, they both want pros,one has elected to go the Ultimate route as money is not the issue and the other elected to purchase a sport he found languishing in an online store.
The only comfort I can offer is that misery loves company, your not alone, be ready with the buy button (like a gunfighter on the draw) when one of the retailers has stock.
Got mine from here: https://popupstore.simucu.be/. Delivered within 1 week, in perfect condition, but EU only. Currently only Sport on stock. Maybe they get some Pro back too.
Oh wow, I did not know they sold direct to the public.
Shame they only serve the EU, I live in the US
I will keep checking the sim racing sites daily for any changes in availability
Thank you for the help
There has been an update in our social media feeds today. We know its not what most people wanted to hear, but finally we are getting a handle on the delays and can give realistic estimates.
Wow, DSS was spot on with their lead times as I got e-mail notification yesterday that Granite Devices are shipping their units out and I should have mine shortly
I have been waiting since May so this is great news and wanted to let everyone here know DSD may have some long lead times but they are accurate, and for me at least the wait is one thing but uncertainty is a lot worse. If you are up in the air and want a US based vendor I wouldn’t hesitate to buy thru DSD
as they will give you the information honestly and deliver when they say
Got my SC2 Pro from DSD today, very happy with service, also nice quality Power supply cables provided by DSD for North America version, finally get to try a DD wheel and also get to try my Cube control wheel. If you buying a SC wheel in Canada I highly recommend DSD.
