The Conspit 280 FR is a 280 mm, 1,050 g Formula-style sim racing wheel with a prepreg carbon fibre front plate and aluminium body, compatible with Windows PC and designed for single-seaters, prototypes and competitive GT cars.
Its compact diameter reduces hand travel during the small, rapid corrections typical of Formula cars, while the open-top profile keeps in-game instruments or a standalone DDU in clear view. It packs 14 buttons, two 7-way joysticks, four 12-position rotary switches, a central 6-position Dial Matrix and four encoder wheels, plus dual Hall-sensor clutch paddles and a magnetic shifter as standard.
Conspit 280 FR key features
- 280 mm rim and 1,050 g (excluding QR and adapter): lower rotational inertia and more force feedback detail in your hands.
- Compression-moulded 3K prepreg carbon fibre front plate and die-cast aluminium body with CNC-finished critical features.
- 6-position Dial Matrix: switches between Encoder Remapping profiles and rotary macro configurations, so the same controls handle multiple functions; the four 12-position rotary switches work as multi-position switches or encoders.
- Quick-access module above each grip (vertical encoder wheel + thumb button) for adjustments without letting go of the wheel.
- Dual Hall-sensor clutch paddles as standard, modular, with bite point and dual-axis or independent-axis modes; die-cast aluminium arms and carbon fibre paddle plates.
- One-piece magnetic rocker shifter with Hall sensors: upshift and downshift with either hand.
- RGB telemetry with 58 LEDs: 10 RPM LEDs, 12 backlit buttons and 4 backlit rotary switches, configurable in Conspit Link 2.0 with full SimHub support.

- Other direct drive wheelbases: includes a Quick-Con adapter and coiled data cable; removing the Quick-Con exposes a rear USB-C port for direct PC connection and compatible third-party quick releases.
- CSD Nano display: via Conspit Link 2.0 it shows the Dial Matrix position and Encoder Remapping assignments with customisable labels.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Conspit 280 FR work with PlayStation or Xbox?
No. The Conspit 280 FR works with Windows PC only, connected via direct USB or the CONSPIT CAN protocol, and is configured in Conspit Link 2.0.
Can I use the Conspit 280 FR on a non-Conspit wheelbase?
Yes. It includes a Quick-Con adapter and coiled data cable; removing the Quick-Con exposes a rear USB-C port for direct PC connection and use with compatible third-party quick releases. On Conspit ARES bases it connects through the internal USB channel of the CDP or CDR quick release, with no external cable.
How much does the Conspit 280 FR weigh?
1,050 g without quick release or adapter, with dimensions of 280 × 173 × 105 mm. The low weight reduces rotational inertia and transmits force feedback detail more clearly.
What is the Dial Matrix on the 280 FR?
It is the central 6-position selector that switches between Encoder Remapping profiles and rotary macro configurations, giving the same controls access to multiple functions. It can also work as an encoder.
Are clutch paddles included?
Yes, as standard: two modular Hall-sensor clutch paddles supporting bite point starts and dual-axis or independent-axis modes.
Does it have a built-in display?
No. Its open-top profile is designed to keep in-game instruments or a standalone DDU in view, and it integrates with the CSD Nano display through Conspit Link 2.0.
