aikeec 64Bit PC USB Handbrake, Upgrade SIM Racing Games Handbrake for LO GITECH G25 G27 G29 T500 T300 THRUST MASTER FANATECOSW DIRT RALLY, 2M Nylon Cable/Reinforced Spring/Black+Clamp

Works well. Feels very durable. The grip is pretty comfortable. The mounting holes lined up perfectly with my handbrake mount on my wheel stand and feels very secure. Came with a spare stronger spring as advertised, which is a nice touch but not for me.

If you are into racing simulations that include rally and drifting, then you know it’s important to use a good handbrake. And using a button to simulate a handbrake is a poor substitute for a hand brake. This handbrake cured all my handbrake issues immediately. I have a moveable wood bench next to my sim rig. I screwed a piece of 1x4 wood onto the bench, then screwed the handbrake onto the wood. This allows me to move the handbrake around so that I can position it where I want it. The materials are strong and high quality, and it looks amazing. Looks are a 5. I rate quality as a four. This is because it’s a little rattlely, and I have not been able to firm it up by tightening screws. Also, there is a small flip up lock that I can’t get to engage. I’m not sure I’d ever use the lock, so no big deal. These faults however, do not significantly affect its functionality. Using the brake in game is a game changer. The brake looks and functions like a real racing hand brake. The more you pull, the more braking you feel. It is a must have for drift and rally sims. The pull is not as firm as I would like, but I got use to that. It is great to use in game and will really help control drift or cornering in rally games. I have had very little trouble installing and configuring and is recognized by my current sim games. Overall, I would give it a 4, because the fault I found of the pull being a little “floppy”, does affect my confidence in using the brake. That said, it is truly a game changer, and you get use to the brake, therefore I give it a 5.

I purchased this handbrake as a sim racer because I can't justify the $200+ price tag for The Thrustmaster Sparco branded handbrake. I love thier products, and own a T300 Wheel and TH8A shifter. I just wanted a handbrake and didn't want the Sparco Branding. I read the reviews about shakey quality. There were a lot of critiques about hot glue and sloppy build quality. There have been some reviews about unmarked packaging and just general concern about quality. I received mine, and I can say it was package very well with "brand packaging". I was of the assumption that it is Aikeec brand. I can't find branding anywhere... but it was packaged well and in a nicely printed, foam insulated box. As far as slop and rattling, mine was solidly put together and had no slop or issues. When it was received I had to tighten a few bolts with the included tools. There were no concerning issues. The single page manual identified the calibration process and other possible setup problems you might encounter. There is a 1/3 dead zone that is easily fixed by tightening the center allen bolt. It works with my PC racing games without issue. It is plug and play. You do need to go into the individual game settings to fine tune how it performs. The shifter is made from CNC aluminum. The rubber handle is questionable as it is just a rubber sleeve. The carbon fiber bits are just carbon fiber textured plastic. I did change out the internal spring with the included blue spring and it firmed up the handle very well. I can't speak on the longevity of the device as I have only had it for 2 days. While using it I have been very happy with the quality. For the price point and what you are using it for, I have minimal concern over how it will last over time. On the tech side, I belive it is a hall sensor on an arduino board. Windows 10 recognized it immediately as an Oddor Handbrake. I see lots of modding opportunities for the device as far as changing springs and handles. For $90, I am not upset with this handbrake. The only reason I rate 4 out of 5 is because I cannot predict the longevity, nor can I speak to the quality of what other users have received. My experience with the device has been well above my expectations for the price point. I have tested the brake on Richard Burns Rally, Dirt Rally 2.0, and IRacing. I can confirm it works well with these titles. 4.5 stars out of 5.

This hand brake is the best bang for your buck out there. Gets the job done perfect. I would recommend putting in the stiffer spring that comes with it for a more realistic feel. I would recommend this to anyone who is building a sim rig on a budget.

Honestly, the item is quite sturdy and feels great. However, the down side is the hand brake forces me to unplug it every single use (when I enter each game) which is a terrible, terrible annoyance. I actually like the item. I missed the return window which is my fault. I have used this with Windows 10 and 11. Would change the review if given a website to update the drivers, but that probably won't happen. With this problem it is not worth the money I paid. I could have bought a name brand instead. Maybe it's the hand brake I received that is the problem. Would not recommend.

Very solid handbrake, price is great for the quality. I was extremely surprised. Feels great in your hand, packaging was great and shipping was awesome. All I had to do was plug the usb into my pc and it was ready to go! Awesome buy.

This works without issues, can be bolted to stand or clamped, worked right out of the box. I had a slight issue where in game the handbrake was around 10% pulled. I fixed this by adjusting the main adjustment bolt, or you can change the deadzone in game. It feels a little cheap, but for the price I can’t complain.
