Ascher Racing Black Edition

The Ascher Pro, in full stealth black

Based on the McLaren Artura esports wheel, the Pro USB Black Edition uses the same components as a real GT4 racing wheel, finished in black with no McLaren livery. It is the Ultimate Black Edition without the built-in dashboard: the same 300mm closed wheel with ergonomic rubber grips, 14 RGB buttons, 100+ inputs and silenced magnetic paddles, all on a universal USB connection.

The Black Editions

Zero compromise, zero livery

Ascher Racing is a German sim hardware manufacturer and the official wheel partner behind the McLaren Artura GT4 and its esports wheel, and Ascher lists Verstappen Sim Racing among the teams that trust its wheels. The Pro Black Edition takes that championship-proven wheel and strips it back to a stealth black finish that suits a high-end cockpit build. Player1 Sim Gear is an authorised Australian dealer for Ascher Racing, so your wheel is genuine, supported locally and backed by Australian Consumer Law.

Real GT4 components, esports-optimised

Over 100 inputs, one-thumb control

  • 14 RGB backlit push buttons, 16 million colours
  • 4 thumb encoders and two 7-way joysticks
  • Two configurable 12-position rotary switches
  • Want a screen? Add an Ascher Racing dashboard

  • 2 motorsport clutch paddles with electronic bite-point calibration
  • Adjustable non-linear clutch curves, left and right set separately
  • Retrofittable single shifter

  • Works with every common PC mainboard
  • Max 500 mA, within USB specification
  • No power injection required
  • 6 x 70mm bolt pattern for universal mounting

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the Ascher Racing Pro USB Black Edition?

It is Ascher Racing's Pro USB steering wheel in an all-black finish. It is based on the McLaren Artura esports wheel and uses the same components as a real GT4 racing wheel, with a 300mm diameter, 14 RGB buttons, two 7-way joysticks, two 12-position rotaries, magnetic paddles and motorsport clutches. Player1 Sim Gear is an authorised Australian dealer for Ascher Racing.

What is the difference between the Pro and the Ultimate Black Edition?

The wheel, controls, paddles and software are the same. The Ultimate Black Edition adds a built-in 4-inch dashboard with 21 RGB shift lights. The Pro has no built-in screen, which suits you if you already run a separate dashboard or read your data from the monitor.

How is it different from the McLaren Artura Pro?

The hardware and controls are the same. The Black Edition drops the McLaren branding and livery for a stealth black finish. If you want the official McLaren look, we also stock the Ascher Racing McLaren Artura Pro.

Can I add a dashboard to the Pro?

Yes. With no screen built into the wheel, you can mount a separate display such as an Ascher Racing 5" dashboard or 4" dashboard and run it through SimHub. Call us and we will confirm the right mounting for your setup.

Does it come with a quick release?

No. The wheel ships without a wheel-side quick release, so you add the one that matches your wheelbase. It uses the standard 6 x 70mm bolt pattern, and a mounting kit with screws, washers and tools is in the box.

Which wheelbases does it work with?

Almost all of them. It is a USB wheel that works with every common PC mainboard, so Ascher lists it as compatible with Simucube, Fanatec, Simagic, MOZA, Leo Bodnar, OSW and more. You need the matching quick release for your base. Call us on 0488 385 870 and we will confirm the right part.

Will it work on a Simucube 3?

Yes, over USB. Ascher offers it for Simucube 3 with the Simucube Link Quick Release plus an SC3QR adapter. Call us before ordering and we will confirm exactly which parts you need for your base.

Does it need a power injection or a wireless battery?

No. It draws a maximum of 500 mA, within the USB specification, so no power injection is needed. It is a wired USB wheel, connected through a coiled cable, a Binder connector and an internal USB-C passthrough.

Does it work with pass-through quick releases?

Yes. Ascher Racing has optimised the Pro for unrestricted operation with pass-through quick-release systems, so the USB signal can run through the quick release on bases that support it.

Does it work with SimHub?

Yes. The 14 RGB buttons support telemetry-based and animated lighting through SimHub, and Ascher Racing offers a SimHub plugin for its hardware. SimHub works with iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, rFactor 2, Le Mans Ultimate and other PC sims.

How many inputs does it have?

Over 100. That comes from 14 RGB buttons, 4 thumb encoders, two 7-way joysticks, two 12-position rotary switches, two magnetic double paddle shifters and two clutch paddles.

Can I change the clutch settings?

Yes. You can choose from predefined progressive, degressive and S-curves or define your own, set the left and right clutches separately, and calibrate the bite point electronically. Analog axes can be calibrated directly on the wheel without extra software.

Can I change the knob colours on the Pro Black Edition?

Yes. It ships with stealth black knobs, and Ascher Racing Pro knob kits replace the thumb encoders, joysticks and rotary knobs with anodised aluminium in other colours. The Knob Kit Pro includes Cobalt Blue, Crimson Red, Kinetic Gold and Stealth Black in one set, and single-colour V2 kits come in Maniti Green, Champion Purple and Mercury. They are the same kits that fit the Ultimate Black Edition. Set screws are included and the electronics are not affected.

Can I upgrade the paddles later?

Yes. The Pro supports a retrofittable single shifter. You can also personalise the controls with the Ascher Racing Knob Kit Pro and Ascher button caps.

How heavy is the wheel?

Retailer specifications list it at about 1.5kg. It is a full 300mm closed-design wheel with metal construction and rubber grips.

Does it work on Xbox or PlayStation?

No. It is a PC wheel. It connects over USB to a Windows PC and is set up through your sim's control settings, with SimHub for lighting.
