Thermaltake Introduces Its GR500 Cockpit

It seems that something is moving beyond what we see as many companies are diving into simRacing. First timidly, and then more forcefully.

Thermaltake follows the momentum of Cooler Master albeit from a different perspective, as although they are also making their debut in this sector with a tubular design cockpit, their ambitions are far from those of the other cooling and component brand.

In the compatibility list, some Direct Drive bases and mid-range pedals appear, so it seems they are aware that there may be vibrations and stresses that most mainstream manufacturers do not consider.
