Simagic NEO X Hub is the kind of hardware that makes you want to rearrange your entire rig just to do it justice. The feel of the carbon fiber composite under your fingers, the satisfying click of each encoder—it’s engineered with a finesse that you notice from the moment you connect it. With 12 programmable LED encoders and 8 RGB buttons, it offers the sort of control layout you’d expect in real-world motorsport dashboards. It’s not just a hub—it’s the heartbeat of your setup. What Sets the Simagic NEO X Hub apart? Button Layout Designed with Racers in Mind Most hubs cram in controls and leave you fumbling mid-race, but the NEO X strikes a rare balance. The spacing, tactile feedback, and logical layout make it feel like it was designed by someone who actually races—not just an engineer with a spec sheet. The RGB buttons and encoders are both easy to reach and satisfying to use, even in high-pressure sessions or endurance stints with gloves on. Modular Paddle System You Can Actually Tune Unlike fixed setups, the Neo X lets you configure the paddles to match your driving style. Wide hands? Adjust the spacing. Prefer a snappy shift feel? Swap the paddle shape or even the material. This isn’t just flexibility for the sake of it—it genuinely helps tailor the hub to different driving disciplines, whether you're drifting, rallying, or running clean laps in GT3. Wireless That Actually Works The 2.4 GHz wireless system has a strong reputation for being reliable under load. No dropouts mid-session, no weird pairing issues, no noticeable lag. That’s a huge deal when you’re running long races and can’t afford distractions. While some hubs struggle to deliver consistent wireless stability, the Neo X holds strong—even in more cluttered RF environments with multiple devices. Surprising Compatibility for a Specialized Hub One of the biggest surprises is just how widely compatible it is. With a native 6x70mm bolt pattern and the QR50 included (plus support for the QR70), it plays well with a broad range of wheel rims and bases. It's not tied to a closed ecosystem, which is a massive win for racers who mix and match gear across brands. Pros and Cons Pros Cons Highly configurable control layout with 12 encoders Currently out of stock Reliable 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity No included paddles—sold separately Modular paddle system with wide compatibility Heavier than some alternatives at over 1kg Includes QR50 Quick Release in the box Specifications Specification Value Materials Carbon fiber composite Dimensions 189.6 x 109.1 x 153.7 mm Weight 1,075 g (with quick release, no paddles) Buttons 8 programmable RGB buttons Rotary Switches 2 seven-way multi-position switches LED Encoders 12 programmable RGB Rev Lights 9 programmable Wireless 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Quick Release Simagic QR50 (QR70 supported) Mounting Pattern 6x70 mm bolt pattern Included Accessories USB-C cable, Allen key, stickers, screws, QR50 Simagic NEO X Hub Compatibility Component Compatible? Wheel Rims (6x70mm) Yes Simagic QR70 Optional (Supported) Simagic Bases Yes Other Brand Bases Yes (with adapter) Paddle Modules UP+ Shifter Modules (optional) The Simagic NEO X Hub is built around the widely used 6x70mm bolt pattern, which means it mounts cleanly to a broad variety of third-party wheel rims. Thanks to the included Simagic QR50 quick release, it attaches directly to Simagic wheelbases out of the box. If you're using other ecosystems like Fanatec or Moza, you’ll likely need an adapter, but the compatibility is there with some tinkering. The modular shifter support (like the UP+ paddle set) adds further flexibility if you're building out a more customized rig. When it comes to platform compatibility, the Neo X Hub is designed with PC sim racers in mind. It connects via USB-C or wireless 2.4 GHz, and works cleanly with PC racing sims like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, and Automobilista 2. It does not natively support consoles, and won't function on Xbox or PlayStation unless routed through a compatible base with console support—so this one's for the PC crowd.
