aikeec 64Bit PC USB Handbrake, Upgrade SIM Racing Games Handbrake for LO GITECH G25 G27 G29 T500 T300 THRUST MASTER FANATECOSW DIRT RALLY, 2M Nylon Cable/Reinforced Spring/Black+Clamp

Works on PC via USB Type-B. Has a particular input range that's explained in the manual: about the first 20-30% of physical input isn't registered (mine is around 30%, which is an estimation), so 31% through 100-ish% of input is the actual 0% to 100% output in-game; not an issue for me since I can always adjust the deadzones in-game (maybe not possible for all games). Haven't confirmed stated console incompatibility since I don't use console (the hardware won't be recognized by the console, or something along those lines). Even with instructions, the tightening adjustment is confusing—I don't want to over-tighten or unscrew it completely, and would like to know on some level how far I am from either scenario, like maybe an engraved notch and number that denotes how many turns from that point is possible/allowed/recommended, etc... I think it's just that I want to know how far I can push it, and be able to adjust it with some amount of easily repeatable measurable accuracy. Mine has some hang (idk the word for it), in which if I guide it as it resets to its resting position (instead of letting go completely, I hold it, helping bring it to position); most noticeable when done slowly; total hang accounts for about 15-20-ish% of input, so it's negligible, but I still adjusted the deadzones in-game just in case. Oh yeah, assembly instructions were fun—it's only fastening the adjustable lever/handle, and installing the clamp mount system, which is grate. Would suggest a stick-on foam pad for the circular surface of the clamp, just so it isn't metal on metal/metal on wood/etc...

I used this handbrake NOT as a handbraske but as a collective on my flight simulator setup to fly helicopters. Taking out the spring and bolt allows it to move freely. Then on one of the side guides of the unit where the slide is I took out the guide insert and put a small washer onto the bolt and reinserted the bolt. Just tighten this bolt enough to prevent any free movement but yet allows it to control lift without any jerks or sticky motion and the unit works great with fine control. So far the unit has preformed perfectly for me - Great product and good price

was very sceptical at first with the price but it's works great and feels great the other spring it comes with is really hard but the one that comes on it feels great just occasionally have to unplug and replug it in but I think that's just my PC

Bought this a few months back and after trying everything I can think of it remains literally unusable. The device looks great, solid construction, adjustability, etc. but if I try and race with it the potentiometer will *ALWAYS* register some level of engagement (meaning the brake is dragging constantly), in my case between 7-9% usually and at least a few percentage points always. The amount of engagement flickers between a few percentage points and can't be dialed out with calibration. There's an adjustment screw on the device to control the length of the throw but it does nothing to correct this problem. And, as you might guess, running with the e-brake engaged makes you a LOT slower :( I see a lot of positive reviews but my advice is to avoid this product and buy a more reputable brand. A large metal paperweight is all this is good for.

I purchased this handbrake as a sim racer because I can't justify the $200+ price tag for The Thrustmaster Sparco branded handbrake. I love thier products, and own a T300 Wheel and TH8A shifter. I just wanted a handbrake and didn't want the Sparco Branding. I read the reviews about shakey quality. There were a lot of critiques about hot glue and sloppy build quality. There have been some reviews about unmarked packaging and just general concern about quality. I received mine, and I can say it was package very well with "brand packaging". I was of the assumption that it is Aikeec brand. I can't find branding anywhere... but it was packaged well and in a nicely printed, foam insulated box. As far as slop and rattling, mine was solidly put together and had no slop or issues. When it was received I had to tighten a few bolts with the included tools. There were no concerning issues. The single page manual identified the calibration process and other possible setup problems you might encounter. There is a 1/3 dead zone that is easily fixed by tightening the center allen bolt. It works with my PC racing games without issue. It is plug and play. You do need to go into the individual game settings to fine tune how it performs. The shifter is made from CNC aluminum. The rubber handle is questionable as it is just a rubber sleeve. The carbon fiber bits are just carbon fiber textured plastic. I did change out the internal spring with the included blue spring and it firmed up the handle very well. I can't speak on the longevity of the device as I have only had it for 2 days. While using it I have been very happy with the quality. For the price point and what you are using it for, I have minimal concern over how it will last over time. On the tech side, I belive it is a hall sensor on an arduino board. Windows 10 recognized it immediately as an Oddor Handbrake. I see lots of modding opportunities for the device as far as changing springs and handles. For $90, I am not upset with this handbrake. The only reason I rate 4 out of 5 is because I cannot predict the longevity, nor can I speak to the quality of what other users have received. My experience with the device has been well above my expectations for the price point. I have tested the brake on Richard Burns Rally, Dirt Rally 2.0, and IRacing. I can confirm it works well with these titles. 4.5 stars out of 5.

Works great, has no connectivity issues (on PC, have not tried on consoles) No complaints from me, just needs to be properly set up in each game it’s used in.

Not a detailed review on the item itself but my way of recommending getting a USB handbrake in the first place. I'm using this with just one game: Dirt Rally 2.0 on PC. With a Vive VR headset and a G920 wheel + H-pattern shifter. It's set up on my desk and I sit on a $15 IKEA folding chair. Meaning I don't have a high-class "rig" to brag about. I've been getting pretty into Dirt Rally ever since they added Oculus VR support in June 2016. I used Revive to support my Vive with pretty consistent reliability. I tell everyone it's some of the most exhilarating fun you can have with a video game. With VR not only was it really exciting but my stage times improved INSTANTLY and I became a far better driver. So, yeah, I was one of those "no VR, no buy" comment guys. But hey, we got our wish in the end! But for me there was still something missing in terms of control. The level of awkwardness that came with using the B-button on the wheel as the handbrake was a real pain. Having to anchor my thumb on a button while really needing to be free to manipulate the wheel was bad - and it just wasn't fun. I got this USB hand brake (the simpler version with a clamp included). Set-up was uneventful, just plugged it into my Win10 and it detected. I mounted it to my desk to the right of my shifter. In Dirt Rally 2.0 I found and adjusted minimal configuration options and went to test it in the rally school free-roam stage. I was able to discover that it was an analog controller. Lighter pulls applied the rear brakes lightly. I could modulate the hand-braking force. It felt great in my hand. In Dirt Rally 2.0, in the Greece stages (DLC) my favorite stage is Fourteka Kourva. It's a dry gravel course with at least 6 hairpins if my memory is correct, including one right at the beginning that despite having driven through it perhaps 300+ times since 2016 (lots of restarts helps) I've never really felt good at it in my 4WD Group-B Lancia Delta S4. With VR, my new handbrake and now forcing myself to use the full manual H-shifter and clutch pedal I had now entered basically a level of full control that I had been lacking up until this point. I entered that first hairpin... and immediately it felt different. I slammed the brakes, put in the clutch, cranked the wheel to the right and pulled the handbrake. I feathered the handbrake out of natural instinct and around swung the rear as I maintained revs with the throttle. The moment the nose was pointed in the right direction I let go of the handbrake and clutch at the same time and off like a rocket shot down the road. It felt completely natural. There was 5 more hairpins to navigate on this under-three-minute stage and every hairpin felt like it was faster than any previous attempts with just the B-button. I was so glad I bought a handbrake controller. I've only spent around 5 hours or so with it so far, but I've been totally content with it. It was a great investment and I only wish I had gotten it earlier.

Pretty good. Playing fun with it. Easy and rear brakes for drift

The handbrake was already broken after 2 gentle times using it... I contacted the seller and they refuse to send me a new one. They offered a replacement part but they were not able to send it..... bad excuse... Then they offered me a discout of 30%.... wich is absolutely ridiculous... for the combined total i would have been better off buying a way more expensive branded e-brake... NEVER BUY HERE!

Worked right away in every car game I play. Nothing to complain about. Good quality for the price. Working in Assetto or even Carx good times. I will say. I ordered the 14 bit one cause its a handbrake. They sent me a 64bit one. 6/5 stars if I could. Thanks

Gioco da PC. Il freno è molto buono per le prime esperienza con sim racing (soprattutto sul rally) e ha un buon prezzo.Si collegata da solo al PC senza dover entrare nelle impostazioni.MOLTO BUONO

La verdad es que sirve perfectamente de freno de mano para el simracing, es muy resistente y tiene recorrido para según lo apretéis uses más o menos el freno de mano.

Slightly better than I expected. When I found out that USB handbrakes could cost up to £250, I was very surprised (not sure why though, since that's a constant pattern with racing 😅) Given the price, this product is perfect. I expected to experience at least some issues with connection or something, but this product has checked every box. Feels quality due to mainly being metal, other than the foam handle (slightly unrealistic, it would be better if they had put just a metal grip - but the foam is still nice) There was also an alternative, stronger metal spring included in a baggie, which I am using and feels great, providing some more resistance. I recommend this product (and for reference, I play all the WRC games, as well as some AC, on a Fanatec WRC rig)
