What it is
The Simagic Neo X is a modular button box that accepts four interchangeable rim shapes: 310G (310mm GT), 330T (330mm touring), 330R (330mm round), and 350W (350mm drift). The hub alone costs $199, with complete wheel packages starting at $329. The faceplate is carbon fibre composite with 8 programmable RGB buttons, 2 seven-way rotary switches, and 2 thumb rotary encoders.
The modularity is the core idea. Instead of buying separate wheels for GT, rally, and drift, you buy one Neo X hub and swap rims. Each rim attaches to the same button box, so your button mappings carry across shapes.
Who it’s for
Simagic owners who race across multiple disciplines. If you run ACC GT3 events one evening and drift in Assetto Corsa the next, the Neo X means one button box with swappable rims rather than three separate wheels collecting dust. At $329 for a complete package and additional rims at roughly $130 each, the total cost of covering all shapes is lower than buying standalone wheels.
In use
The 8 RGB buttons and dual seven-way rotary switches provide enough inputs for most racing disciplines. The button layout is clean and logically organised. The MAGLINK quick-release system makes rim swaps straightforward, though it is not as instant as Simucube’s SQR.
Each rim variant is purpose-built for its discipline. The 310G is compact for GT work, the 330T sits in the touring car sweet spot, the 330R handles rally and road car duties, and the 350W at 350mm gives drifters the leverage they need for sustained counter-steer.
What to watch out for
No screen option on any variant. If on-wheel telemetry matters to you, the Neo X is not the answer. You will need a standalone dash or monitor-based overlay.
The modular approach means compromises. Each rim is optimised for its discipline but cannot match a purpose-built standalone wheel in that same discipline. The 310G is a good GT rim but not as refined as the standalone GT Neo. The trade-off is versatility over specialisation.
Simagic ecosystem only. QR50 mounting standard. Works with all Simagic bases natively.
Verdict
A practical solution for multi-discipline sim racers in the Simagic ecosystem. The modular hub approach saves money and desk space if you genuinely race across GT, touring, and drift. If you only race one discipline, a standalone wheel will serve you better. The value calculation depends entirely on how many shapes you actually need.
