Conversion Kits

Fanatec gaming wheel conversions to USB

What’s the difference between the kits?

The main difference between the conversion kits is how they attach to the wheel and the wheel PCB.  Wheels with the removable quick release use the 7x or Base side 5.2x kits. Older wheels where the quick release is bolted from inside the wheel require either the 5x lite or the Base side 5.2x kits

All conversion kits use the same electronics and firmware, so they can all work with the same Fanatec wheels. When a firmware upgrade is published, it can be applied to any of the conversion kits listed below.

    New wheel notice

    The first customers have started receiving the new Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel GT3

    I had hoped that the wheel would be recognised as the McLaren GT3, but it seems it is not.  This means that the conversion kits DO NOT work with this wheel yet.

    I now have the wheel and it's proving more complex than expected.  Basically the Fanatec drivers do not allow the wheel to be used on older wheelbases.  As our kits work as the older CSL Elite wheelbase the wheel will not work.

    This means that I need to make the kits work as a newer wheelbase and this is complicated.  So, for now, this wheel is NOT compatible with our conversion kits. Sorry.
