With an extensive range of endless accessories and hardware, Overclockers UK has everything you need to upgrade your simulation set-up. Whether you enjoy taking to the skies, farming crops, driving a truck or maybe even battling it out on the racetrack, here is some of the very best simulation hardware that you can buy right now!
Simulation Hardware
Many gamers start playing racing and flight simulators with standard gaming equipment, such as keyboard and mouse or gamepads. If you want a more immersive experience, however, you’re going to want to level up your set-up with simulation hardware.
Whether you’re looking to build the best racing simulator or ultimate flight set-up, you can create a sim rig to match your requirements and budget. An entry level race car simulator may consist of a racing wheel mounted to your desk and a set of pedals positioned underneath it. However, the sky’s the limit with sim hardware, as there are components to match real world counterparts for practically anything you can think of!
Some of the sim hardware you can find includes:
- Cockpit frame – These are the foundations for sim set-ups, consisting of a metal frame that all other components mount to. They can also be upgraded with extra struts and platforms to hold additional hardware and accessories.
- Racing wheel and base – A racing wheel and wheelbase perfectly emulate race car steering wheels, coming in a variety of styles such as Formula, GT, Open D, and the classic Round. They’ll generally boast a wide range of features such as display clusters, paddle gear shifters, and force feedback to help immerse you in your race.
- Flightstick – Should you prefer to take to the wide blue yonder, a flightstick, yoke, or joystick is the perfect input device. Much like racing wheels and bases, these will deliver a range of features for improved immersion such as multiple easy to reach controls, a removable throttle, and force feedback.
- Seat – Where you’ll be sitting while playing your sim titles. These are generally bucket style chairs that help to hold you firmly in position as you twist and turn your controls.
- Pedals – Depending on your chosen title, pedals can come in a range of input devices, including throttle, brake, and clutch for racing games, or rudder controls for flight sims.
- Monitor stand – These can either directly mount to your frame or can be free-standing. They are designed to hold one or more monitors to display your in-game output.
Beyond these core components, you can continue to upgrade your sim rig with a broad selection of accessories. From gear shifters and handbrakes to haptic feedback and motion platforms. These all help to create an authentic simulation experience.
