Comparing the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit and the Conspit CDR Quick Release is a matter of aesthetics versus mechanical utility. One is a premium cosmetic and tactile upgrade for your steering wheel, while the other is a heavy-duty connection system for your wheelbase.
The Conspit CDR Quick Release is heavier than Conspit's proprietary CDP QR, which can slightly reduce force feedback responsiveness and detail. Furthermore, it cannot natively power Simagic or Moza wheels due to different pin layouts, and using third-party QRs on the CDR base side can cause noticeable wobble.
The Asetek kit currently sits at $89.00 at 6sigma Racing and has remained unchanged over 90 days. Conversely, the Conspit CDR's price history is too short to judge a trend, though it starts at CA$69.99.
If you want to replace cheap plastic caps with premium metal, the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit is a great tactile upgrade, though the $89.00 price is hard to justify for VR users. For those needing a heavy-duty connection, the Conspit CDR Quick Release is highly robust, but you must pair it with a Conspit wheel-side QR to avoid wobble.
