BavarianSimTec ControlCenter — 20x illuminated tactile buttons with AdaptiveBeamTec encoders

The ControlCenter places all essential race functions within immediate reach — engine start/stop, pit limiter, fuel management, dashboard control, radio, wiper toggle, tear-off, and more. Every button is labelled, RGB backlit, and sized for fast, confident pressing even in the heat of a race. The layout is optimised for muscle memory, minimising mis-presses when it matters most. Two multi-encoders with AdaptiveBeamTec sit below the button grid, adding rotary control for fine adjustments without adding clutter.

Built to Last. Connected to Everything.

BavarianSimTec ControlCenter — aluminium body and 3x USB-C hub ports

The full 6061 machined aluminium body with custom injected ButtonCaps and aluminium knobs gives the ControlCenter a premium feel that matches any high-end sim rig. Three rear USB-C hub ports mean you can connect keyboards, mice, or additional peripherals directly to the unit — keeping cables tidy and your rig clean. No separate hub required.

Redefining Mounting — MagicArm

BavarianSimTec ControlCenter MagicArm mounting system — 360 degree adjustment on aluminium profile

The included MagicArm mounting system gives you 360° adjustment freedom — position the ControlCenter exactly where you need it, at exactly the right angle. The included ¼" T-nut mounts directly to standard aluminium extrusion profiles found on virtually all sim rigs. Once locked in, it stays put. No wobble, no slipping, no compromise.

FAQs About this product

What sims and software is the ControlCenter compatible with?

The ControlCenter is fully compatible with SimHub and the BavarianSimTec PitStopApp, giving you access to button mapping, LED colour customisation, and advanced profile configuration. It works with all major simulators including iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate, Assetto Corsa, and more. It functions as a standard HID device so it's also compatible with any sim that supports custom button boxes.

Does the ControlCenter work with my sim rig?

Yes — the included MagicArm mounting system uses a standard ¼" T-nut that fits virtually all aluminium extrusion profiles used in sim rigs. It provides 360° of adjustment freedom so you can position and angle the ControlCenter exactly where you need it. If your rig uses a non-standard mounting system, the ControlCenter can also be desk or surface mounted.

What are the 3 USB-C hub ports used for?

The three rear USB-C hub ports let you connect additional peripherals directly to the ControlCenter — keyboards, mice, a DDU, or other USB devices. This keeps cable runs tidy and eliminates the need for a separate USB hub in your rig. One port connects to your PC, leaving three available for accessories.

What is AdaptiveBeamTec on the ControlCenter encoders?

AdaptiveBeamTec surrounds each encoder with individually addressable RGB LEDs that dynamically display your current setting — just like on the BavarianSimTec steering wheels. You can see your ABS, TC, or other assigned values at a glance around the encoder without looking away from the screen. Profiles are configured via PitStopApp and update automatically based on your current car.

Does the ControlCenter work alongside a BavarianSimTec steering wheel?

Yes — the ControlCenter is designed to complement any BavarianSimTec steering wheel. While the wheels handle the most critical in-car inputs, the ControlCenter handles everything else — radio, flags, dash control, fuel management, and other secondary functions that don't need to be on the wheel itself. The PitStopApp manages both devices together for a unified setup.

How long does shipping to Australia take?

The ControlCenter ships directly from our warehouse on the Gold Coast, QLD. For in-stock orders, standard shipping typically takes 2–5 business days within Australia. Express options are available at checkout. Stock is maintained locally so you won't face international customs delays.

Can I customise the button colours and labels?

Yes — every button's RGB colour is fully configurable via the PitStopApp or SimHub. You can set individual colours per button, create profiles that change colours based on the sim or car you're driving, and use the included decal set to label each button exactly as you need it. Profiles can be shared with the community via the PitStopApp.

Does the ControlCenter require any drivers or software to function?

The ControlCenter works as a standard plug-and-play HID device — no drivers needed for basic button functionality. For full RGB customisation, AdaptiveBeamTec encoder profiles, and advanced configuration, the PitStopApp or SimHub is required. Both are free to download.
