Fanatec Clubsport Magnetic Paddle Module Review By The SRG

Barry Rowland of the Sim Racing Garage reviews the Fanatec Clubsport Magnetic Paddle Module add-on set for the ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2, F1 20xx, F1 PS4, Universal Hub for Xbox One, and Podium Hub.

The Clubsport Magnetic Paddle Module package is available via the Fanatec Web-Store for €99.95 incl VAT / $99.95 + shipping.

 

 

Automotive quality

CNC machined aluminum cage and 3 mm-thick carbon fiber paddle plates combine with magnetic shifters to deliver an authentic mechanism at the highest quality.

 

 

New generation wheel upgrade

The ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module uses the same connection as the Podium Advanced Paddle Module, so it is compatible with the ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 20xx, ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2, Podium Hub, and ClubSport Universal Hub for Xbox One.

Paddle operation uses strong magnets rather than springs, just like in the most advanced race cars. Automotive-grade switches combined with the magnet system results in higher durability. The strong magnetic resistance generates a solid, positive feel to every shift and allows for rapid shifting.

 

 

Quiet operation

Unlike many other magnetic solutions on the market, we aimed for a household-friendly operation, with the padded shifter arms avoiding any harshness from metal-on-metal contact, resulting in significantly reduced ‘click’ noise.

 

 

Suits a wide variety of wheel sizes

Formula-style and GT-style paddles are included, along with extension plates for larger diameter wheels. Additional spacers are also included to adjust the distance to the wheel rim.
