Beyond Immersion: Thermaltake Expands Sim Racing Lineup at COMPUTEX 2025

Performance Meets Immersion: A New Era of Sim Racing Begins

Taipei, Taiwan－May 20^th, 2025－Thermaltake, a leading PC DIY brand for premium hardware solutions, invites racing enthusiasts to shift into high gear with a fully immersive simulator lineup at COMPUTEX 2025. Under the theme “Beyond Immersion,” Thermaltake is showcasing its dynamic sim racing ecosystem, featuring the GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit, the G6 Direct Drive Racing Wheel Bundle, and the GM5 3DOF Motion System. Visitors can also look forward to new simulator gear and accessories that will be revealed during the show.

Authentic Feel Meets Immersive Style

Built with precision and realism in mind, the GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit delivers a professional driving experience straight from your own setup. At its core is a racing-inspired fiberglass bucket seat, offering long-lasting comfort with smooth forward/backward sliding and recline adjustability. Whether you're in a warm-up lap or pushing limits on a virtual track, the GR500 ensures you're firmly supported and ready to perform.

The robust frame combines a reinforced aluminum profile with a solid steel structure, providing exceptional stability and resistance to flex, even under the strain of aggressive cornering or high-intensity motion feedback systems. An integrated anti-tip bracket adds an extra layer of safety, keeping your ride steady and secure during critical moments.

Style Meets Versatility

The GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit is not only built for high performance but also adds a striking visual edge to any sim racing setup. Integrated RGB lighting strips at the base offer 20 customizable effects and two selectable modes: Standard Mode and Rhythm Pickup Mode, the latter of which responds dynamically to in-game audio or music to enhance immersion. Designed for broad compatibility, the GR500 supports racing gear from top brands such as Logitech, Fanatec, and Thrustmaster. Its wheel, pedal, and shifter mounts allow multiple angle adjustments, and the shifter plate can be installed on either side to accommodate user preference. With its solid construction, immersive lighting, and flexible hardware support, the GR500 delivers a refined, fully customizable racing experience that looks as good as it performs.

Elevate the Experience: G6 and GM5 Integration

For drivers seeking a more complete setup, the GR500 pairs seamlessly with the G6 Direct Drive Racing Wheel Bundle. The G6 delivers precise force feedback via a 6Nm direct drive servo motor and 16-bit resolution, capturing every turn and terrain change with ultra-realistic detail. The 13-inch D-shaped wheel, durable aluminum build, and metal three-pedal set combine tactile accuracy with long-term durability. Custom RPM LED indicators and a quick-release system offer both functionality and flair for drivers who demand more.

Add another dimension with the GM5 3DOF Motion System, which brings real-world physics into your simulator. Supporting pitch, roll, and heave movements, the GM5 reacts to in-game data with lightning speed, thanks to its <5ms response time, 0.4G acceleration, and compatibility with SimTools software. It translates every bump, curve, and braking maneuver into physical motion for the most authentic feel possible.
