Two weeks ago, Fanatec started selling the Universal Wheel Hub that allows owners of the CSW base to use all kinds of aftermarket wheel rims with their Fanatec hardware.
Now, first examples have been spotted in the wild as Franz Brink shares two videos of his example in action. The first video shows the wheel hub in action with the Logitech G27 rim that Franz mounted to it, the second gives us a close look at the unit together with a custom racing wheel.

16 integrated buttons on top of the hub

-
The big shifter paddles are fully adjustable in distance, width and angle
