We love new, shiny sim racing products, and today we’re reporting on a wheel by VPG Simlab that our buddy Dave Cam was able to try out. The new product on the market is called the VPG Elemento Pro, a formula-style wheel rim that’s lightweight and has a ton to offer.
VPG is a rather small company from London, England that is made up of a couple of folks named Mike and Manny. They sell two other Elemento-named wheels, the straight-up Elemento and the Elemento S.
This one, the Elemento Pro, is the most expensive of the three, but not the most expensive in their inventory. Their fourth wheel, the V-PF1 comes in at £2,000.00. They also have other sim racing products and wheel accessories available in their online store.
The new Elemento Pro wheel itself has a lot to play with in terms of buttons, knobs and switches. There are nine illuminated buttons that can be programmed. For rotary switches, there are four of them for the thumbs and three of them flat-facing on the front.
There is a funkyswitch that goes four-ways and also works as a pushbutton. All of that fits around the 4.3″ display underneath the 18-LED strip at the top.
