aikeec 64Bit PC USB Handbrake, Upgrade SIM Racing Games Handbrake for LO GITECH G25 G27 G29 T500 T300 THRUST MASTER FANATECOSW DIRT RALLY, 2M Nylon Cable/Reinforced Spring/Black+Clamp

I use this USB handbrake mostly with DiRT Rally, WRC 8/10, and it’s been fantastic, especially for tight turns and hairpins where the paddle shifters just don’t cut it. I’ve got it clamped directly to my desk, and it hasn’t budged once. The build is solid, the spring feels strong, and the throw is adjustable enough for my setup.Setup was as easy as plug and play. You don't have to worry about drivers. Once mapped in-game, it worked flawlessly. The hall sensor gives it good long-term precision too. It’s a great addition if you're trying to take your rally sim setup to the next level.Just know this is PC-only. It's not for console users. But if you're running a Logitech G920 or Thrustmaster setup on PC, this is an excellent add-on.

This handbrake is a good value in my opinion. It arrived well packaged and un-damaged, and comes with two springs, a lighter one (installed) and a heavier one. Installing the heavier black spring was a breeze requiring only a couple of minutes to stiffen up the feel. Construction is extremely solid, if not overbuilt, and the internals (motherboard, magnet) are easily accessible should anything ever require remounting or adjustment. The only issue encountered was that the base isn't the same template size used by Fantatec and others for mounting to a pedestal on a sim rig, some adjustment of hole or slot spacing was required to mount it to a GT Track shifter/brake pedestal -- this is pretty par for the course with driving rigs, I did not derate for this purpose.Once installed and connected, the device fired right up. In software, pulling the brake not only gives an axis which can be bound, but also triggers a button on the device, which allows this to be used for other things which don't support axis, such as the parking brake in American Truck Simulator.Overall very happy with the performance/price of this product, and would recommend it for those interested in a handbrake for their driving setups at a reasonable price.

I purchased this handbrake as a sim racer because I can't justify the $200+ price tag for The Thrustmaster Sparco branded handbrake. I love thier products, and own a T300 Wheel and TH8A shifter. I just wanted a handbrake and didn't want the Sparco Branding. I read the reviews about shakey quality. There were a lot of critiques about hot glue and sloppy build quality. There have been some reviews about unmarked packaging and just general concern about quality. I received mine, and I can say it was package very well with "brand packaging". I was of the assumption that it is Aikeec brand. I can't find branding anywhere... but it was packaged well and in a nicely printed, foam insulated box. As far as slop and rattling, mine was solidly put together and had no slop or issues. When it was received I had to tighten a few bolts with the included tools. There were no concerning issues. The single page manual identified the calibration process and other possible setup problems you might encounter. There is a 1/3 dead zone that is easily fixed by tightening the center allen bolt. It works with my PC racing games without issue. It is plug and play. You do need to go into the individual game settings to fine tune how it performs. The shifter is made from CNC aluminum. The rubber handle is questionable as it is just a rubber sleeve. The carbon fiber bits are just carbon fiber textured plastic. I did change out the internal spring with the included blue spring and it firmed up the handle very well. I can't speak on the longevity of the device as I have only had it for 2 days. While using it I have been very happy with the quality. For the price point and what you are using it for, I have minimal concern over how it will last over time. On the tech side, I belive it is a hall sensor on an arduino board. Windows 10 recognized it immediately as an Oddor Handbrake. I see lots of modding opportunities for the device as far as changing springs and handles. For $90, I am not upset with this handbrake. The only reason I rate 4 out of 5 is because I cannot predict the longevity, nor can I speak to the quality of what other users have received. My experience with the device has been well above my expectations for the price point. I have tested the brake on Richard Burns Rally, Dirt Rally 2.0, and IRacing. I can confirm it works well with these titles. 4.5 stars out of 5.

If you are into racing simulations that include rally and drifting, then you know it’s important to use a good handbrake. And using a button to simulate a handbrake is a poor substitute for a hand brake. This handbrake cured all my handbrake issues immediately. I have a moveable wood bench next to my sim rig. I screwed a piece of 1x4 wood onto the bench, then screwed the handbrake onto the wood. This allows me to move the handbrake around so that I can position it where I want it. The materials are strong and high quality, and it looks amazing. Looks are a 5. I rate quality as a four. This is because it’s a little rattlely, and I have not been able to firm it up by tightening screws. Also, there is a small flip up lock that I can’t get to engage. I’m not sure I’d ever use the lock, so no big deal. These faults however, do not significantly affect its functionality. Using the brake in game is a game changer. The brake looks and functions like a real racing hand brake. The more you pull, the more braking you feel. It is a must have for drift and rally sims. The pull is not as firm as I would like, but I got use to that. It is great to use in game and will really help control drift or cornering in rally games. I have had very little trouble installing and configuring and is recognized by my current sim games. Overall, I would give it a 4, because the fault I found of the pull being a little “floppy”, does affect my confidence in using the brake. That said, it is truly a game changer, and you get use to the brake, therefore I give it a 5.

Works for xbox series s. Had to return first unit, due to not connecting or mapping incorrect button l but second units works fine. Try returning for a new unit if your having issue with your unit working with the Xbox.Edit: Hand brake stop working after a week. Disappointed since it was fun while it lasted.
