Conspit - 290GP Formula wheel

CONSPIT - 290GP Formula Wheel

The Conspit 290GP Formula wheel is a next-generation simulation steering wheel, embodying CONSPIT’s “N+1” product philosophy. This wheel transcends the typical flat design constraints of similar products, employing a unique 3D ergonomic approach that redefines the shape and functionality of Formula steering wheels. It introduces numerous structural innovations to push the boundaries of high-quality simulated driving experiences.

Constructed with a molded carbon fiber front panel and a high-strength aluminum alloy body, the 290 GP features a custom 4.3” LCD display, RGB modular ergonomic buttons, dual clutch paddles, a rocker-style paddle shifter set, four thumbwheels, three 12-position rotary switches, and two seven-way joysticks.

Outstanding Features:

• Lightweight Yet Rigid: The carbon fiber front panel, combined with an aluminum alloy rear cover, ensures a lightweight design at 1350g while maintaining unprecedented structural rigidity, even when paired with high-torque direct drive bases.

•Breaking Flat Design Limits: The 290 GP’s design fully embraces CONSPIT’s aesthetic and structural optimizations in three dimensions, providing a more dynamic and visually appealing experience.

•Innovative Ergonomics: To give drivers a competitive edge, the 290 GP’s ergonomic attention to detail ensures superior comfort and performance during long sessions.

•HOTAS-Inspired Control Distribution: Inspired by HOTAS (Hands On Throttle-And-Stick) systems in aviation, the wheel maximizes thumb-accessible control areas using a 3D component stacking design.

•CONSPIT Space Buttons: Button placement is determined by the natural position of the thumb, creating a specialized design in space that increases operational density, making every action more intuitive and effortless.

•Enduro Grips: Designed for endurance racing, the 290 GP’s Enduro grips offer exceptional durability and ergonomic comfort, reducing grip fatigue during long races.

•Durable Materials: The grips are made from a specially modified TPU material, precision-molded in a double-layer injection process, offering superior wear resistance and anti-aging properties compared to the TPE materials commonly used in most steering wheels.

•Thump-Tick Thumbwheel Structure (Patented): CONSPIT’s internal “Thump-Tick” tactile feedback structure optimizes the thumbwheel’s efficiency, enhancing interaction during racing.

•Magnetic “MagFlip” Rocker Arm Shift Camset (Patented): Derived from real Formula racing steering wheels, this mechanism allows for both push and pull shifting, providing robust tactile feedback with a magnetic cam structure.

•Ready-to-Use Instrument Panel: Fully integrated with a high-resolution 4.3” display (480x800 resolution, 500nit brightness, 60fps refresh rate), the wheel displays vital telemetry data with various sim-racing specific instrument pages.

•Quick Release CDP: Unlike common single-locking ball-type quick releases, the CDP features a pin + ball design inspired by real Formula wheels, ensuring zero play even after extended use.
