CONSPIT - 290GP Formula Steering Wheel
The Conspit 290GP Formula steering wheel is a next-generation simulation steering wheel and embodies Conspit's "N+1" product philosophy. This wheel overcomes the typical flat design limitations of similar products, employing a unique ergonomic 3D approach that redefines the form and functionality of Formula steering wheels. It introduces numerous structural innovations to push the boundaries of a high-quality simulated driving experience.
The 290 GP consists of a molded carbon fiber front panel and a high-strength aluminum alloy chassis and features a custom 4.3-inch LCD display, modular ergonomic RGB keys, two clutch paddles, a 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 the aluminum alloy rear cover ensures a low weight of 1350 g while maintaining unprecedented structural rigidity, even when used with high-torque direct drive bases.
- Pushing the boundaries of flat design: The design of the 290 GP incorporates CONSPIT's aesthetic and structural optimizations in three dimensions, offering a more dynamic and visually appealing experience.
- -Innovative ergonomics: To give riders a competitive advantage, the ergonomic attention to detail of the 290 GP ensures superior comfort and performance during long sessions.
- HOTAS-inspired control distribution: Inspired by HOTAS (Hands On Throttle-And-Stick) systems in aviation, the steering wheel maximizes the control areas accessible to the thumb through a 3D component stacking design.
- CONSPIT Space Keys: The placement of the keys is determined by the natural position of the thumb, creating a special design in space that increases the density of functions and makes every action more intuitive and effortless.
- Enduro grips: The 290 GP's enduro grips were developed for long-distance racing and offer exceptional durability and ergonomic comfort to reduce grip fatigue during long races.
- Durable materials: The grips are made from a specially modified TPU material, which is precision molded using a two-layer injection molding process and has a higher wear resistance and aging resistance compared to the TPE materials used in most steering wheels.
- Thump-Tick thumbwheel structure (patented): CONSPIT's internal "Thump-Tick" structure for tactile feedback optimizes the efficiency of the thumbwheel and improves interaction during the race.
- Magnetic “MagFlip” rocker switch shift cam (patented): Derived from real Formula racing steering wheels, this mechanism allows both pushing and pulling the shifter and provides robust tactile feedback with a magnetic cam structure.
- -Ready-to-use instrument panel: The steering wheel is fully integrated into a high-resolution 4.3-inch display (480x800 resolution, 500 nit brightness, 60fps refresh rate) and displays important telemetry data with various sim-racing specific instrument pages.
- CDP quick-release fastener: Unlike the usual quick-release fasteners with only one ball, the CDP features a pin-and-ball design inspired by real Formula wheels and exhibits no play even after prolonged use.
