Hi, I'm Blake — Founder of Gamer Gear Direct
My obsession with racing games started in 1991, when my parents put a Sega Master System under the Christmas tree. Out Run and R.C. Grand Prix had me hooked before I was old enough to hold a real steering wheel. Thirty-odd years later, not much has changed — except now I get to turn that passion into a business.
I founded Gamer Gear Direct in 2019 with a straightforward idea: Australians deserved a specialist sim retailer that genuinely understood the gear, not just a drop-shipper ticking boxes.
What started from a home office in Melbourne's south-east has grown into one of Australia's largest dedicated simulation retailers, with an authorised dealer network spanning the biggest brands in the industry — MOZA Racing, Trak Racer, Thrustmaster, Logitech, Simucube, GSI, Honeycomb Aeronautical and more.
Our Dandenong South showroom is one of the only places in Australia where you can walk in, strap yourself into a sim rig and feel the difference between a $500 setup and a $5,000 one — before you spend a cent.
The People Behind Your Setup
We're a small, specialist team — and that's deliberate. Every person at Gamer Gear Direct is here because they live and breathe simulation. When you call or email us, you're speaking to someone who can actually help.
Meet Kurt
Kurt eats, sleeps and breathes sim racing. Whether you're figuring out your first rig or ready to make the jump to a direct drive wheelbase, he'll cut through the noise and point you toward the setup that actually makes sense for your budget and space.
He's logged serious hours across iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione and Forza Horizon, so when you ask him how a piece of gear actually feels to use — he can tell you from experience, not just a spec sheet.
Meet Karl
Karl is your first port of call for anything flight simulation. From entry-level HOTAS setups to full cockpit builds, he's spent enough time in Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane and DCS World to give you practical, hands-on advice rather than a recited product comparison.
If you're not sure where to start — or you've done your research and just want a second opinion before you commit — Karl's the one to talk to.
