The Ascher Ultimate, in full stealth black
Based on the McLaren Artura esports wheel, the Ultimate Black Edition uses the same components as a real GT4 racing wheel, finished in black with no McLaren livery. You get a 300mm closed wheel with ergonomic rubber grips, a 4-inch touch-capable dashboard, 21 RGB shift lights, 14 RGB buttons and silenced magnetic paddles, all on a universal USB connection.
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 Black Edition takes that championship-proven Ultimate 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
The Ultimate Black Edition uses identical components to a real McLaren Artura GT4 racing wheel, combined with esports features like full button mapping and telemetry lighting. The ergonomically enhanced rubber grips and the 300mm diameter give you real grip and control under heavy force feedback.
- 300mm closed design with high-adhesion rubber grips
- Track-proven parts from the McLaren Artura GT4 platform
- One-thumb control layout built around driver ergonomics
- Stealth black finish with no McLaren livery

Integrated 4" dashboard and 21 RGB shift lights
A high-resolution 4-inch display is built into the centre of the wheel, flanked by 21 RGB LEDs, so race data and shift points sit right in your line of sight.
- 4-inch display, 16-bit colour, 350 lm brightness
- Touch operation supported
- 21 RGB LED shift lights, 16 million colours
- Official SimHub integration for screens and lighting

Gen6 magnetic paddles and analog motorsport clutches
Silenced Gen6 magnetic double paddle shifters give you a crisp, direct shift without the clack, and two analog motorsport clutch paddles let you calibrate the bite point right on the wheel.
- 2 Gen6 magnetic, silenced double paddle shifters
- 2 motorsport clutch paddles with electronic bite-point calibration
- Adjustable non-linear clutch curves, left and right set separately
- Retrofittable single shifter

Universal fit, no power injection needed
The Ultimate is a USB wheel, so it runs on almost any wheelbase. It uses the industry-standard 6 x 70mm bolt pattern, a secure Binder connection and an internal USB-C passthrough, and it is optimised for pass-through quick-release systems.
- Works with every common PC mainboard
- Max 500 mA, within USB specification

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ascher Racing Ultimate Black Edition?
It is Ascher Racing's Ultimate 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, 4-inch dashboard, 21 RGB shift lights, 14 RGB buttons, magnetic paddles and motorsport clutches. Player1 Sim Gear is an authorised Australian dealer for Ascher Racing.
How is it different from the McLaren Artura Ultimate?
The hardware, controls and software 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 Ultimate.
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 Ultimate 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. It has official SimHub integration, which lets you configure the 4-inch dashboard, the 21 RGB shift LEDs and all 14 RGB buttons, including telemetry-based and animated lighting. SimHub works with iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, rFactor 2, Le Mans Ultimate and other PC sims.
Is the dashboard a touchscreen?
Ascher Racing lists touch operation as supported on the 4-inch display. It is a high-resolution screen with 16-bit colour depth and 350 lm brightness, flanked by 21 RGB LEDs.
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 upgrade the paddles later?
Yes. The Ultimate 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?
It weighs approximately 1.52kg. It is a full 300mm closed-design wheel with metal construction, rubber grips and an integrated dashboard.
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 SimHub and your sim's control settings.
