Designed for the Podium: Thermaltake Expands Its Sim Racing Ecosystem with XRW-G1 GT Steering Wheel & XRP-L1 Loadcell Pedal Set
Precision control. Authentic feedback. Total immersion.
Taipei, Taiwan－April 15th, 2026－Thermaltake, a leading PC DIY brand for premium hardware solutions, continues to advance immersive sim racing experiences with the launch of the XRW-G1 GT Steering Wheel and XRP-L1 Loadcell Pedal Set. Designed for competitive sim racers who demand uncompromising precision, realism, and customization, these two new products further expand the Thermaltake Sim Racing System and deliver professional grade control engineered for podium level performance.
XRW-G1 GT Steering Wheel - Ultimate Control
The XRW-G1 GT Steering Wheel is designed for sim racers who demand precision, comfort, and deep immersion. Featuring a 300 mm GT-style layout, the wheel blends CNC-machined aluminum, carbon fiber, and reinforced polymer to achieve a rigid yet lightweight construction that ensures consistent control during endurance races and high intensity sprint sessions.
At the center of the steering wheel, a 5-inch integrated touchscreen delivers clear, real-time access to RPM data, flags, and essential race information, keeping critical telemetry within view without disrupting focus. Surrounding the display is a professional grade control layout that includes backlit buttons, front and rear toggle switches, three rotary encoders, two thumb encoders, and two funky switches, allowing drivers to configure every input to suit their driving style and race discipline.
To enhance responsiveness and immersion, the XRW-G1 is equipped with carbon fiber magnetic paddle shifters that provide crisp, immediate tactile feedback with every gear change. Customizable RGB LED indicators further improve situational awareness by delivering real time RPM and system status cues. Paired with the XRW Quick Release Adapter (sold separately), the steel ball quick release system ensures fast, secure, and tool free wheel swaps across all Thermaltake wheelbases, replicating the quick-change experience of real-world racing. Fully compatible with the Thermaltake Sim Racing System, the XRW-G1 GT Steering Wheel delivers precise control, extensive customization, and an immersive GT racing experience.
Features of the XRW-G1 GT Steering Wheel:
• 300 mm GT-Style Wheel with Premium Construction CNC-machined aluminum combined with carbon fiber and reinforced polymer delivers a rigid yet lightweight structure for precise and fatigue free control.
• 5 Inch Integrated Touchscreen Display Provides real-time RPM, flag, and race data with customizable layouts to keep critical information clearly in view.
• Professional Grade Control Layout Includes backlit buttons, toggle switches, rotary and thumb encoders, and funky switches for fully personalized input mapping.
• Magnetic Carbon Fiber Paddle Shifters Deliver crisp and instant tactile feedback for confident and accurate gear changes.

XRP-L1 Loadcell Pedal Set - Authentic Racing Pedal Control
The XRP-L1 Loadcell Pedal Set is made for sim racers who demand durability and consistent control under pressure. Built around a CNC-machined aluminum structure carved from a single block, the pedals utilize an optimized FEM design to ensure exceptional rigidity and a flex-free feel even during heavy braking and aggressive driving.
The throttle pedal delivers smooth, accurate input through a 16-bit Hall sensor paired with a self-lubricating nylon sleeve and precision ball bearings. Adjustable pedal throw and spring preload allow racers to fine tune throttle response for precise modulation and control. On the braking side, a 200 kg load cell combined with interchangeable springs and rubber dampers provides highly tunable resistance and realistic pressure based braking feedback that closely mirrors real world racing dynamics.
Designed with a compact and lightweight form factor, the XRP-L1 features adjustable pedal angles in 5-degree increments and easy to mount stainless steel brackets, ensuring seamless integration across a wide range of sim racing setups. Fully compatible with the Thermaltake Sim Racing System and Thermaltake software, the XRP-L1 enables detailed tuning of pedal response and input behavior. Proudly made in Italy, each pedal set reflects meticulous craftsmanship and uncompromising quality, engineered for drivers who demand excellence in every detail.
Features of the XRP-L1 Loadcell Pedal Set:
• Adjustable Brake and Throttle Response Interchangeable springs, rubber dampers, and preload tuning allow precise control of braking pressure and throttle behavior.
• High Precision Throttle System A 16-bit Hall sensor, adjustable pedal throw, and smooth mechanical components deliver consistent and linear input.
• Smooth and Durable Mechanical Design Precision machined shafts, self-lubricating nylon sleeves, and ball bearings ensure long term reliability.
• Compact Mounting and System Integration Adjustable pedal angles, stainless steel mounting brackets, Italian craftsmanship, and full Thermaltake software compatibility ensure easy installation across diverse setups.
One Ecosystem. Total Control.
