Choosing a sim racing add-on means deciding whether your next change should add controls, change pedal hardware, or make RPM easier to read. The four choices below are not interchangeable: two are button boxes, one is a PC pedal set, and one is an RPM SHIFT light. Start with the job your rig needs, then use the listed price and connection or compatibility details to narrow the match.
Quick take
- Dedicated button control: SIMDT Button Box has a defined mix of buttons, encoders, seesaw switches, and a start button.
- Programmable PC control: Racing Button Box, USB PC Simulator Center Control lists 30 programmable buttons and broad game compatibility.
- Pedal hardware: UT Pedals is the PC-focused hydraulic pedal choice with named Logitech and Thrustmaster compatibility.
- RPM visibility: Sim Racing/sim Hub RPM SHIFT light is a USB-connected visual cue with universal compatibility entries.

Decision matrix
- For Euro Truck Simulator or American Truck Simulator controls: SIMDT Button Box is the targeted match because its description names both games.
- For PC game controls and 30 programmable assignments: Racing Button Box, USB PC Simulator Center Control fits that specific input goal.
- For pedal hardware with named wheel compatibility: UT Pedals lists Logitech G27 and G29 plus Thrustmaster T300RS/GT/T500.
- For a visual RPM cue with USB cabling: Sim Racing/sim Hub RPM SHIFT light has universal compatibility entries and USB Type-A to Micro-B connectors.
SIMDT Button Box SIM Racing Control Box Racing Simulator Secondhand
The SIMDT Button Box is a defined control-panel choice for Euro Truck Simulator and American Truck Simulator. Its description lists 16 button inputs, 6 encoders, 3 seesaw switches, and 1 start button, along with a USB cable, bracket, screws, and fixing accessories. That combination gives shoppers a concrete reason to choose it for truck-sim functions without adding a pedal set. The limitation is its narrower role: it is a controller, not an RPM SHIFT light or pedal set. The listed price is $76.00, so it sits below the other button box while still requiring a dedicated control-box purchase.
Racing Button Box, USB PC Simulator Center Control
The Racing Button Box, USB PC Simulator Center Control targets PC-focused button mapping. Its description names Farming Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator, Forza Motorsport, Assetto Corsa, F1, Dirt Rally, and WRC series, plus Windows 7/8/10/11 and plug-and-play operation. The 30 programmable buttons are the reason to choose it when assigning named functions matters. The trade-off is price: $142.31, or $66.31 above the SIMDT Button Box. It is also a button-control accessory, so shoppers seeking pedals or an RPM display should choose a different category of add-on.
UT Pedals Sim Racing Pedals PC Racing Simulator Pressure Sensor Load Cell HE
UT Pedals Sim Racing Pedals PC Racing Simulator Pressure Sensor Load Cell HE is the pedal-specific choice. The description identifies a pressure sensor/load cell and hydraulic pedal, while the product information specifies PC and names Logitech G27/G29 plus Thrustmaster T300RS/GT/T500. Stainless steel is also stated in the description. Choose it when the job is adding pedal hardware to a PC sim setup. The limitation is the $239.99 listed price, highest among the four, and the quantity line presents 2 piece/3 pieces. That wording makes the package format a key part of the buying decision.
Sim Racing/sim Hub RPM SHIFT light (Its Cool... See Description
Sim Racing/sim Hub RPM SHIFT light (Its Cool... See Description is the direct match for a visual RPM cue. Its product information identifies universal compatibility, a 1 ft cable, and USB Standard Type A Male to USB Micro-B Male connectors. The description says one screw fell out but does not disturb functionality, giving a clear limitation to weigh. The listed price is $45.00, the lowest in the table, which gives it a different role from the button boxes and pedals. Choose it when the shift-light function-not extra switch inputs-is the goal.
Final recommendation by use case
For truck-sim control, choose the SIMDT Button Box. For PC simulator center control and programmable button mapping, choose the Racing Button Box. For a PC pedal requirement, choose UT Pedals. For a dedicated RPM SHIFT light, choose Sim Racing/sim Hub RPM SHIFT light. The right choice comes down to whether your rig needs physical input expansion, pedal hardware, or a visual shift cue.
