Choosing between the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit and the GSI Spec 3 coiled cable comes down to whether you want to customize your wheel's look or secure a heavy-duty power connection. While one is a premium cosmetic upgrade, the other is a rugged, functional lifeline for high-end hardware.
If you run power-hungry GSI wheels with screens and LEDs, you must plug the GSI Spec 3 cable into a high-quality powered USB hub to prevent disconnects. Additionally, the stiff coiled section can pull on your rig, leading many users to prefer the shorter version for cleaner routing.
If you want to replace plastic caps on your Asetek wheel and do not mind the $89.00 price tag, the button kit delivers a premium tactile feel. However, if you need a bulletproof, zero-play connection for a compatible USB wheel, the $49.99 GSI Spec 3 cable is a highly robust, functional necessity.
