Simagic have established themselves as one of the key players in Sim Racing, with an extensive mid to high end ecosystem of direct drive bases from 10NM to 24NM in strength, as well as a variety of wheels, pedals, handbrakes and shifters which compete very aggressively against the likes of Fanatec and Moza.
They’ve also introduced innovative products like their haptic feedback motors for pedals, which integrate seamlessly into their ecosystem, but can also be paired with other brands, and this has become a real strength for them. Where other brands intentionally make it as difficult as possible to mix and match their product switch other brands, Simagic seemingly do the opposite.
