Sim-Lab is best known for their aluminium profile cockpits, which have long set the benchmark for rigidity, adjustability, and clean design in high-end sim racing setups.
Their rigs—like the P1X and P1X Pro—are widely used by enthusiasts and professionals alike, including in our own Boosted Media sim rig where they’ve withstood years of heavy use, motion systems, and constant reconfiguration without issue.
Beyond cockpits, Sim-Lab has steadily expanded into a broader ecosystem of hardware, including the XP1 load cell pedals, a handbrake and shifter, and the ultra-premium Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team Steering Wheel. These products continue Sim-Lab’s focus on function-first design and solid construction, though some elements like powder coating and early-stage software still leave room for refinement.
Check out our detailed reviews below to see how Sim-Lab products perform in real-world use and what you need to know before deciding which hardware is right for your setup.
