Thermaltake XRW-G1 launches with new pedals for improved sim racing
Thermaltake has announced the Thermaltake XRW-G1 GT Steering Wheel, along with the new XRP-L1 Loadcell Pedal Set. These new products are part of the company’s growing sim racing lineup and are aimed at users who want better control and a more realistic driving experience.
The Thermaltake XRW-G1 comes with a 300 mm GT style design and uses a mix of aluminium, carbon fiber, and reinforced plastic. This build keeps the wheel light while also making it strong for long racing sessions. At the centre, the wheel features a 5-inch display that shows key race data such as RPM and flags, helping users stay focused during gameplay.
The steering wheel includes a wide range of controls, including buttons, switches, and rotary encoders. These can be customised based on user preference, allowing more control in different racing conditions. It also features magnetic paddle shifters that provide quick and clear feedback during gear changes. In addition, RGB lighting is used to show RPM levels and alerts in real time.
The Thermaltake XRW-G1 also supports a quick release system, which allows users to change wheels easily without tools. This makes it easier to switch setups when needed.
Alongside the wheel, Thermaltake has introduced the XRP-L1 Loadcell Pedal Set. The pedals are made from a solid aluminium block, which helps maintain strength and stability during use. The throttle pedal uses a 16-bit sensor for smooth and accurate input, while the brake pedal uses a 200 kg load cell for pressure-based braking.
Users can adjust both throttle and brake settings to match their preference. The pedal set also allows angle adjustment and comes with a compact design, making it easy to install in different setups. It also works with Thermaltake software for further tuning.
With the launch of the Thermaltake XRW-G1 and XRP-L1 pedals, Thermaltake continues to expand its sim racing ecosystem, offering users a more complete and immersive racing experience.
