HCXLELD's sim racing lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Key Features
- Multi platform compatibility: the handbrake supports Logitech G29 and Thrustmaster T300 steering wheel(Including: T300RS GT, T300 Ferrari) for PS4/PS5, it also supports Logitech G920 and Thrustmaster TX racing steering wheel for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One. In addition, the handbrake is not supported for other steering wheels on PS/Xbox.
- HCXLELD Hub application for the Windows system, which can calibrate the handbrake stroke, set the dead zone, set the curvature, and update the firmware.
- G29 G920 cannot use axis function of the handbrake on console, so we offer a solution to map the clutch axis to the handbrake axis, which can be adapted to most games, but G29 can only use button function of the handbrake on GT7.
- The new version G29 must switch the mode to PS4 on playstation 5, the handbrake does not support PS5 mode. PS4 mode can also play all PS5 racing games.
- Attention, plug the wheel's USB into the handbrake's USB-A port when playing on console. Please watch the product video of the handbrake, it's helpful for player to use and troubleshoot.
- The handbrake doesn't occupy the H-shifter port of the steering wheel, so it can work together with H-shifter on console.
