Simucube

The fidelity reference everyone else is measured against.

Simucube is the consumer brand of Granite Devices, a Finnish motor-controls company founded in Tampere in 2006 that spent its first decade on industrial servo drives before the sim-racing community pulled it into the hobby. It launched Simucube 1 in 2017 and effectively co-invented modern consumer direct drive. The honest take: Simucube is the smoothness benchmark. The Simucube 2 Sport (17Nm), Pro and Ultimate use machined-metal bodies, 22-bit absolute encoders and dual-CPU architecture for ultra-low latency, and reviewers consistently note a complete absence of cogging, ripple or notchiness. The SQR quick release is regarded as essentially immortal and the ecosystem is genuinely open to third-party rims. The cost of all this is, well, cost: you pay a real premium for 17Nm where MOZA and Simagic deliver more torque for less. Simucube is for buyers who prioritize pure feel and build quality over torque-per-dollar, and it remains PC-only.

// Ecosystem

Open, third-party-friendly SQR quick release (regarded as near-indestructible); industrial-grade engineering heritage from parent Granite Devices, PC-only across the range.

Who it's for: Serious PC enthusiasts who value reference-grade force-feedback fidelity and build quality above raw torque-per-dollar.

ActivePedal Pro

The Simucube ActivePedal Pro is the reference active force-feedback pedal: a software-defined brake/throttle/clutch platform that can change pedal feel, travel, ABS vibration, traction-control effects, engine vibration and resistance curves without opening a spring stack. Simucube lists up to 110 kg of force, 5-74 mm of travel and Simucube Link connectivity with passive pedal ports. It is expensive, PC-focused and best justified for drivers who switch cars often, tune brake traces seriously or want the most refined active pedal feel available.

Simucube 2 Sport

The Simucube 2 Sport is the entry point to Simucube's PC-only premium line and a long-standing reference for fidelity, delivering 17Nm from a machined-metal body with a 22-bit absolute encoder and dual-CPU architecture for ultra-low latency. Reviewers consistently note its complete absence of cogging, torque ripple or notchiness, and praise the SQR quick release as essentially immortal. It is the base others are measured against, and one of the most third-party-friendly ecosystems.

Simucube — common questions

Why is Simucube so expensive?

You're paying for reference-class smoothness, machined-metal build, a 22-bit absolute encoder and a near-immortal SQR quick release. On pure torque-per-dollar, MOZA and Simagic win; on feel and build, Simucube is the benchmark.

Is Simucube made by Granite Devices?

Yes. Simucube is the consumer sim-racing brand of Granite Devices, a Finnish motor-controls company founded in 2006 and owned by its employees.

Does Simucube work on console?

No. The entire Simucube range is PC-only.
