The Simagic TB-1 is a load cell handbrake for sim racing, with a 100 kg sensor and full-metal CNC-machined aluminium construction, compatible with PC and Simagic wheelbases, built for rally and drift drivers who want progressive, consistent braking.
Unlike a position-based handbrake, the TB-1 measures the actual force you apply through a load cell, ensuring repeatable inputs under pressure. Its 2-stage resistance system reproduces the increasing feel of a real mechanical handbrake, and the dual-mode lever switches between horizontal (road) and vertical (rally/drift) use in seconds.
Key features
- High-precision load cell sensor measuring forces up to 100 kg: you brake by pressure, not by travel.
- 2-stage resistance system that simulates the progressive feel of a real car handbrake.
- Full-metal CNC-machined aluminium alloy construction, rock-solid under high loads.
- Dual-mode lever: switch between horizontal and vertical position to match your driving style or rig.
- Adjustable damping and stiffness via interchangeable rubber compounds, with simple tool-free disassembly.
- Plug-and-play USB Type-C connection, with a removable 22 mm handle compatible with third-party grips.
- Optional side mounting with an L-plate bracket (sold separately) and optional haptic feedback module.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TB-1 compatible with consoles?
The Simagic TB-1 works on PC only, via USB Type-C. It is not compatible with PlayStation or Xbox consoles.
What is the difference between the TB-1 and a position-based handbrake?
The TB-1 uses a load cell that measures the applied force (up to 100 kg) rather than lever travel, giving more precise, repeatable inputs under pressure.
Can it be mounted vertically and horizontally?
Yes. The dual-mode lever switches between horizontal (road) and vertical (rally/drift) position. Side mounting requires the optional L-plate bracket, sold separately.
Does it need a Simagic wheelbase to work?
No. The TB-1 connects via USB Type-C directly to your PC, with no drivers. It can optionally also be connected to a Simagic wheelbase.
Can the brake stiffness be adjusted?
Yes. Stiffness is adjusted through interchangeable rubber compounds and adjustable damping; disassembly is simple and tool-free.
Is the handle interchangeable?
Yes. The removable 22 mm diameter handle is compatible with third-party grips.
