The included Gomez Sim Industries X-29 really packs a punch when it comes to value and performance.

Arguably one of the best direct drive wheelbases on the market today, Asetek have gone all out when developing the Forte direct drive wheelbase.
Partnering with market leaders Simucube and Mige, Asetek has developed a high-end, 18Nm servo motor.
The creation of the Forte wheelbase involved thousands of man-hours and development from the ground-up including electronics, software, firmware and mechanics.
The result? The Asetek Forte wheelbase delivers some of the smoothest, most immersive, and realistic force feedback you could wish for in your sim racing experience.
Every Asetek SimSports wheelbase is crafted to deliver unbelievably smooth, ultra-responsive, and incredibly precise feedback, letting you soak in every little detail of the track.
Imagine sensing every minor bump and even the most subtle shifts in road texture—that's the depth of realism Asetek injects into your driving experience.
Take, for example, the remarkable resolution of 0.000085 degrees, or about 4,000,000 steps per wheel revolution.
This level of detail turns the slightest movement into significant sensory feedback.
This heightened sensitivity means that every small tweak you make is precisely mirrored on the track, boosting your confidence to pull off exact manoeuvres and fine-tune your racing tactics.
The Asetek Forte direct drive wheelbase packs incredible specs and looks great, too.
The Forte housing is just 30cm long (including the quick release).
So, not only is the Forte direct drive wheelbase amongst the most powerful and realistic direct drive wheelbases on the market, it’s also compact.
With front and side mount options, you can bolt this wheelbase to practically any racing cockpit including brands like Trak Racer, Next Level Racing and more
Just plug your new Asetek wheelbase into your PC, fire-up the RaceHub software, calibrate your wheel and start racing.
RaceHub is easily the most sophisticated peripheral software on the market today.
You can quickly and easily set up and save profile presets, customise your settings to fit your car, track, and conditions.
You can also adjust steering range, bump stop hardness, and bump stop range, adjust overall force, basic damping, and basic smoothing.

If you’ve clicked on this tab, you’re obviously looking for a reason or two on why you should shop for your gaming goodies at Gamer Gear Direct, rather than those other online stores.
And we’ll (not so) humbly say there are SEVEN reasons we think you should shop with us and not hand over your hard-earned cash at one of those big box retailers like Harvey Norman or JB Hi-Fi.
We’ll bend over backwards to ensure you are 100% happy and satisfied with your order and our world-class customer service. We want you to rave about your experience with us to your friends and family.
But we know that’ll only happen if we treat every customer like you’re the most important customer in the world. And you are! Without you we wouldn’t be in this business. We’ve only got to where we are today by treating our customers to a high level of service that you’ll rarely find online.
We’ll literally bend over backwards to ensure your experience with us is one you’ll shout about to your neighbour or mates at work. See, we’re not one of those big box electronics stores with a multi-million marketing budget. Those companies treat you like a number. Because they can afford to! They’ve got money coming out of their ears.
We’re different. We’re a small Aussie owned and operated business. Every single potential customer that hits our website is precious to us (that includes you). So, again, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re over the moon with your Gamer Gear Direct shopping experience.
Do you think Harvey Norman can promise that kind of service?
Probably not. In fact, I’d bet my house they won’t. But look, you don’t have to take my word for it. Here’s what our customers are saying about us…
Ashley Woolnough says: ‘I want to say a huge thank you to Blake and the team at Gamer Gear Direct. The service has been absolutely impeccable from the moment I first looked at items to the moment they were delivered. I bothered Blake quite a bit, but nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to help me. 5-star service’.
Luke H. had this to say: ‘Amazing, Excellent Service. I'm very impressed. Well informed staff and good quality selection of Sim Racing gear. Staff even went above and beyond to answer a query regarding whether a certain set of pedals would properly mount to a specific cockpit by testing it themselves on my behalf. Delivery is ridiculous fast and free. Less than 24 hour delivery to Sydney NSW which is impressive. Definitely my go to place for all future gear'.
And this from Brendan: ‘Hands down the best online supplier in Australia atm. Customer service is above an beyond any other Australian company. Blake is always happy to try an keep the customer as happy as possible an with the best deal. I will be back...a forever shop and first stop when hunting any sim upgrade.’
That’s not an exhaustive list, either. There are plenty more happy customer stories we could share with you. But let’s move on to reason number two…
We’re around to support you and help you out with your questions and queries between normal business hours (Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm).
We understand a lot of our customers (like you) are busy individuals.

That aside, our prices are easily some of the cheapest you’ll find online. Plus, when you bundle several items together, we’re more than happy to chat about a bundle discount
Hit us up and we’ll chat more about price (you can open the chat widget at the bottom right of screen and start a conversation).
