Simagic Neo X Hub Review: The Heart of Your Ultimate Custom Wheel

Have you ever dreamed of building your own unique, custom sim racing wheel? Not just buying an off-the-shelf product, but choosing the perfect rim, mapping every button yourself, and feeling the rock-solid quality of professional - grade hardware in your hands. If so, you know that every custom wheel needs a heart - and that heart is the Simagic Neo X Hub.

In this deep-dive review, we'll break down this hub from Simagic and find out why it has become the go-to choice for enthusiasts around the world.

What is a Wheel Hub, and Why Does it Matter?

For newcomers, the term "hub" might be confusing. Simply put, the Neo X Hub is the central module - the brain and foundation of your future steering wheel. You attach your chosen wheel rim to it, and the hub itself connects to your Simagic wheelbase, transmitting all the data and force feedback.

This isn't just a simple button plate. It's a high-tech device that defines the functionality, reliability, and feel of your entire steering setup.

Simagic Neo X Hub Key Features: Quality in Every Detail

Simagic doesn't compromise on quality, and the Neo X Hub is a testament to that philosophy.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminum: The CNC-machined body feels incredibly premium in your hands. There is absolutely no creaking, flex, or bending - just a solid, rigid structure that translates every tiny detail from the force feedback.

Total Control at Your Fingertips: You get 2 multi-position joysticks, 2 rotary encoders, and 10 customizable RGB buttons. All of this can be configured in the SimPro Manager 2.0 software for instant access to your car's settings mid-race.

Vibrant RGB Lighting: Customize the color and behavior of each button to correspond with in-game telemetry. For example, your DRS button can light up green when the system is active. It’s not just for looks; it’s functional.

Modularity and Compatibility: The hub is designed to work with a wide variety of wheel rims using the standard 70mm bolt pattern. This means you can mount a round rim for drifting or a formula-style wheel with ease.

Who is This Hub For? The Three Types of Drivers

We believe the Simagic Neo X Hub is the perfect choice for three categories of sim racers:

The "Customizer": You want to build something that is uniquely yours. You’ve already picked out the perfect wheel rim from Momo, Sparco, or OMP and are looking for a reliable and feature-rich foundation.

The "Upgrader": You already own a Simagic wheelbase and want to take your experience to the next level with more control and a premium feel.

The "Enthusiast": You appreciate quality and want the best that the Simagic ecosystem has to offer. You understand that a dependable hub is a long-term investment in your hobby.

How Does It Work? Compatibility and Installation

The Simagic Neo X Hub is fully compatible with all Simagic wheelbases, offering a true plug-and-play experience. Mounting a wheel rim takes just a few minutes thanks to the standard 6x70mm mounting pattern.

All button, encoder, and lighting adjustments are made in the intuitive SimPro Manager 2.0 software.

Final Verdict: Is the Simagic Neo X Hub Worth It?

Absolutely, yes. If you are serious about sim racing and want to build a steering system that will serve you for years to come, the Neo X Hub is one of the best, if not the best, choices on the market.

It’s more than just a collection of buttons. It's a well-engineered, reliable, and incredibly high-quality foundation for the wheel of your dreams. It gives you the freedom to choose and the power to control your virtual car with precision.
