Choosing among sim racing displays & mods is really a choice between three jobs: adding reachable controls, changing pedal hardware, or putting a display in a better viewing position. The button boxes are not substitutes for the pedals, and a dashboard mount changes placement rather than inputs. Start with the cockpit problem you want to solve, then use the listed price and condition to narrow the field.
Quick take
- SIMDT Button Box and Racing Button Box are the control-expansion paths.
- UT Pedals addresses a pedal-focused hardware change for PC setups.
- Sim Racing Dashboard Mount addresses display placement and viewing angle.
- The central decision is function first, followed by price and physical fit.
Listed-price comparison
The listed prices run from USD 39.99 to USD 239.99, an absolute spread of USD 200.00. The bars show relative price position among the four choices; they do not indicate performance.
| Product | Listed price | Price bar | Fits when |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIMDT Button Box | USD 76.00 | You want a mixed control layout | |
| Racing Button Box | USD 142.31 | You want programmable PC controls | |
| UT Pedals | USD 239.99 | You want pedal-focused hardware | |
| Dashboard Mount | USD 39.99 | You need display adjustment |
Decision matrix
- Control expansion: decide between a mixed-input box and a programmable-button box.
- Pedal-focused upgrade: choose the UT Pedals route rather than a control box or display accessory.
- Display-focused adjustment: choose the articulated dashboard mount.
- Price-first screening: the dashboard mount is the lower-priced endpoint, UT Pedals is the higher-priced endpoint, and the button boxes sit between them.
SIMDT Button Box SIM Racing Control Box Racing Simulator Secondhand
The SIMDT Button Box suits a cockpit where truck-sim functions need a dedicated home. Its carbon fiber panel and aluminum back shell pair with 16 button inputs, 6 encoders, 3 seesaw switches, and a start button, so the appeal is the mix of control types rather than a single row of buttons. The package includes a bracket, screws, fixing accessories, and USB cable. The limitation is its Open box condition. Choose it for Euro Truck Simulator or American Truck Simulator use when that condition is acceptable and a mixed layout matters.
Racing Button Box, USB PC Simulator Center Control
The Racing Button Box, USB PC Simulator Center Control is aimed at a PC driver who wants functions assigned to programmable controls. It has 30 programmable buttons, with examples such as turn signals, wipers, cruise control, and horns. Windows 7/8/10/11 support and plug-and-play operation fit a PC-centered setup, and the game list includes Farming Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Forza Motorsport, Assetto Corsa, and F1 Series. Its limitation is physical planning: the listed 7.24-inch height, 5.67-inch length, and 3.09-inch width are important when allocating cockpit space. Pick it when assignable PC commands matter more than pedal or screen hardware.
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 belongs in a pedal-specific upgrade plan. The hydraulic pedal type, pressure sensor/load-cell feature, PC platform, and compatibility with Logitech G27, G29, Thrustmaster T300RS/GT, and T500 give it a concrete hardware focus. The configuration is identified as either 2 piece or 3 pieces, so the intended pedal count is part of the decision. Its limitation is scope: it addresses pedal input rather than dashboard controls or screen positioning. Choose it when a PC pedal setup and one of the listed wheel models are part of the plan.
Sim Racing Dashboard Mount - Adjustable Articulated Bracket for Display Screen
Sim Racing Dashboard Mount - Adjustable Articulated Bracket for Display Screen is the focused answer to a screen-position problem. Its articulated design allows height, tilt, and angle adjustment, while the construction is intended to resist vibration and sagging during force-feedback sessions. That makes the black mount/bracket relevant when the display needs to move with the driving position, not when the cockpit needs new controls. The limitation is straightforward: it is a mount, not a dashboard display, button box, or pedal set. Choose it when adjustment is the use case and the screen itself is already part of the setup.
Final recommendation by use case
- For truck-sim control expansion: choose the SIMDT Button Box when Euro Truck Simulator or American Truck Simulator is the focus; its mixed input types are the differentiator, with Open box condition as the limitation.
- For programmable PC commands: choose the Racing Button Box when 30 programmable buttons and PC game support are the priority; its dimensions remain the placement constraint.
- For pedal hardware: choose UT Pedals when hydraulic pedal hardware for PC and one of the listed wheel models is the goal; the 2-piece or 3-piece configuration should guide the choice.
- For screen positioning: choose the dashboard mount when height, tilt, and angle adjustment solve the problem; it changes display placement but does not provide a screen or controller.
