Choosing among sim racing displays & mods often comes down to a practical tradeoff: do you want a button-focused PC control surface with broad named compatibility, or a lower-priced box with a more varied physical input layout? The Racing Button Box, USB PC Simulator Center Control and the SIMDT Button Box SIM Racing Control Box Racing Simulator Secondhand take different approaches. One leans toward programmable control and software range; the other specifies encoders, seesaw switches, and included setup accessories.
Quick verdict
The Racing Button Box is the clearer match for a PC sim racer who wants programmable control and support details spanning Windows and multiple racing or driving games. SIMDT suits someone who prefers a mixed input layout, included bracket hardware, and a lower listed price. The decision is less about a universal winner and more about software breadth versus control variety and cost.

Product notes
Racing Button Box, USB PC Simulator Center Control
For a button-heavy PC rig, the Racing Button Box makes the more straightforward case. It specifies 30 programmable buttons and names Windows 7/8/10/11 alongside support for multiple PC driving and racing games, including Assetto Corsa Competizione, Dirt Rally, and the Euro Truck and American Truck Simulator series. That gives shoppers a concrete reason to choose it: the intended PC use and programmable-button emphasis are clearly stated for a broad range of sim titles. The limitation is the USD 142.31 price, which is the higher of the two choices. Its black color and new condition are also stated, but the cost remains the central tradeoff. Choose it when named software range and programmable control matter more than keeping the purchase price lower.
SIMDT Button Box SIM Racing Control Box
SIMDT makes a different case with a clearly specified mix of physical inputs. The description lists 16 button inputs, 6 encoders, 3 seesaw switches, and a start button, along with a carbon fiber panel and aluminum back shell. A bracket, screws, fixing accessories, and USB cable are included, giving it a concrete reason to choose for a setup that benefits from those included pieces. The limitation is that its 16 button inputs are not the same arrangement as the Racing Button Box's programmable-button layout. If the larger programmable-button emphasis is the priority, SIMDT may not be the closer match. For shoppers who want varied controls and the lower USD 76.00 price, however, its defined input mix is the more relevant advantage.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Racing Button Box, USB PC Simulator Center Control if your main goal is programmable PC control across a broad set of named games and Windows versions. Choose the SIMDT Button Box SIM Racing Control Box if encoders, seesaw switches, a start button, and included bracket hardware fit your preferred control style. The USD 66.31 price gap makes the choice tangible, but it does not settle the layout question. In short, Racing Button Box favors software range and programmable control; SIMDT favors varied inputs and a lower listed price.
