Aluminum Button Color KitvsRS QR Adapter

The Bottom Line

The Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit is a premium cosmetic upgrade designed to personalize your wheel's aesthetics and tactile feel, while the Logitech RS QR Adapter is a functional hardware bridge built to mount aftermarket steering wheels to Logitech's direct drive ecosystem. One targets visual and tactile personalization, while the other expands your wheel base's physical compatibility.

Note

Console racers should note that the Logitech RS QR Adapter does not pass button or paddle data from third-party wheels, requiring a direct USB or wireless connection to a PC for full functionality. Additionally, buyers frequently face stock shortages, particularly in European and UK Logitech stores.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

6.5
Value Rating

  • It significantly improves the tactile feel, grip, and overall build quality of your Asetek wheel compared to standard plastic caps.
  • It allows you to "de-orange" and customize your steering wheel for a highly premium, personalized look.

Why choose RS QR Adapter

8.5
Value Rating

  • It offers a highly competitive starting price of $69.99 to easily mount aftermarket wheels with 70mm or 50.8mm PCD patterns.
  • The solid aluminum construction ensures zero noticeable flex during heavy direct drive use.

The Verdict

If you already own an Asetek wheel and want to replace the plastic caps with premium metal for better grip and a customized look, the Aluminum Button Color Kit is a solid, albeit expensive, cosmetic upgrade. However, if you are in the Logitech ecosystem, the RS QR Adapter is an essential, high-quality, and affordable tool to unlock aftermarket wheel compatibility, provided you can find it in stock.
