Durability and reliability

When designing the Grid MPX, no compromises were made in terms of build quality. GRID has used only high-quality materials and components to ensure that this racing wheel can withstand intense racing sessions and long-term use. The GRID MPX is built to last, so you can enjoy your sim racing adventures time after time, without having to worry about the reliability of your equipment.

Extensive functionality for customisable experience

One of the most striking features of the GRID by Sim Lab MPX Steering Wheel is its extensive functionality. With an array of programmable buttons, switches and dials, you can customise your steering wheel to suit your personal preferences and playing style! Whether you prefer a minimalist layout or a more advanced configuration, this steering wheel gives you the flexibility to set it up the way you want.

All-aluminium construction

The MPX is built with the highest quality control, construction and FEA testing to save weight while maintaining superior rigidity. The housing, switches, clutches, paddles, hub adapter and other components are all machined from high-quality 6061 aluminium. The anodised surface treatment has been selected through rigorous internal testing for durability, longevity and ease of cleaning.

87 Programmable Buttons and Switches

The 87 programmable LED buttons and switches on the GRID MPX let you customise your steering wheel to suit your personal preferences and playing style. Assign specific functions to each button and switch, giving you instant access to key controls without losing your concentration on the track. Whether you want to adjust the brake balance, operate the clutch or change a pit stop strategy, the GRID MPX puts all control at your fingertips.

Each encoder has 11 LEDs and each button has 4 LEDs that can be controlled individually. Set your desired RGB effect, such as a rotating, fading or flashing multicolour effect, to provide visual confirmation for settings such as flags or pit-limiters. This allows everyone to set their own specific colour preferences. This makes the GRID MPX unique, distinctive and a true eye-catcher!

Attention to every detail with Otto P9 buttons

Need to quickly toggle a switch? Or adjust the brake balance? The rear-mounted Otto P9 buttons can be found in real racing cars and are known as some of the best buttons available on the market. Again, you can see that quality is not skimped on 🙂 We genuinely think this is a fantastic detail!
