What it is
Cube Controls’ flagship GT wheel, now in its second revision. Carbon fibre front plate, aluminium die-cast body. The control layout is purpose-built for GT racing: 6 backlit buttons, 2 front rotary encoders, 2 thumb encoders, 2 joysticks, and 2 toggle switches. Zero-play magnetic switchless paddles with dual clutch, same technology as the F-Pro.
Bluetooth or Q-CONN cable connectivity. The 1500mAh LiPo battery delivers the now-standard 40 hours. Four rim variants are available (Rubber, Zero, Cube, Reparto Corse Suede), which is a smart move. Grip preference is deeply personal, and Cube Controls letting you choose rather than dictating is appreciated.
Currently out of stock. Same story as the F-Pro.
Who it’s for
GT and endurance racers on Simucube, VRS, Simagic, Moza, or Asetek bases. The round(ish) form factor suits longer stints where you need to rotate the wheel past 180 degrees. Fanatec owners can connect via Podium Hub.
If you split your time between GT3, GTE, and road cars in iRacing or ACC, this is the shape you want. Formula rims become uncomfortable quickly in anything that requires more than quarter-turn steering input.
In use
The toggle switches are a welcome addition over the formula range. They suit binary functions (headlights, wipers, ignition) better than momentary buttons do. The backlit buttons give clear visual feedback without being distracting in a dark room.
Magnetic switchless paddles feel identical to the F-Pro. Clean, precise, zero maintenance. Dual clutch works well for rolling starts and pit entry speed control.
The rim variant choice matters more than you might expect. The Reparto Corse Suede option gives the best grip in warm conditions but will show wear faster than rubber. The Zero variant (no grip covering) is for people who plan to add their own wrap or tape.
VR-friendly design means raised button profiles and distinct tactile landmarks.
What to watch out for
Price. The GT Pro V2 ranges from $800 to $1469 depending on rim variant, which puts the top-spec version squarely in “you had better be sure” territory. The Reparto Corse Suede option commands the highest premium.
Stock availability remains the primary obstacle. Cube Controls appear to be production-constrained across their entire lineup.
Fewer inputs than the F-Pro. Six buttons and two rotaries may feel limiting if you are coming from a button-heavy formula wheel. This is a GT wheel, though; the toggle switches compensate for most use cases.
Verdict
The best GT wheel Cube Controls makes, and arguably the best GT wheel available at any price when you factor in build quality and paddle technology. The rim variant system is clever. The stock situation is not. Worth waiting for if GT endurance racing is your primary discipline.
