Aluminum Button Color KitvsUniversal Quick Release Full Set ?€? Blue

The Bottom Line

Choosing between the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit and the 6sigma Racing Universal Quick Release Full Set ?€? Blue comes down to cosmetic customization versus mechanical utility. One refines the touchpoints of a specific wheel ecosystem, while the other adds heavy-duty multi-wheel swapping capabilities to your rig.

Note

The 6sigma Quick Release lacks power or data pass-through, requiring you to run a separate coiled USB cable for wheel electronics. Additionally, wheelbase vibrations can loosen the mounting screws over time, making threadlocker a necessity.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

8.0
Build Quality
  • Significantly improves tactile feel, grip, and overall build quality compared to standard plastic caps.
  • Allows you to customize and "de-orange" your Asetek steering wheel for a premium look.

Why choose Universal Quick Release Full Set ?€? Blue

9.0
Build Quality
  • Delivers a rock-solid connection with zero flex or play even under high direct drive forces.
  • Offers superior durability on mating surfaces compared to cheaper aluminum clones.

The Verdict

At $89.00, the Aluminum Button Color Kit is a premium cosmetic upgrade, though VR users may find the cost hard to justify and some will miss having matching thumb rotaries. Meanwhile, the $149.99 Universal Quick Release Full Set ?€? Blue is a purely functional investment that delivers a rock-solid, flex-free connection for multi-wheel setups.
