Heusinkveld Sim Handbrake

Heusinkveld Sim Handbrake

A pro-tier USB load-cell handbrake using a 120 kg cell for about 22 kg of force at the lever, mountable vertically or horizontally and tunable via SmartControl curves. That precision suits rally, drift, and rallycross drivers who want pedal-grade brand quality. It connects USB-to-PC only, so console rigs can't use it.
