The Bottom Line

Choosing between the Aluminum Button Color Kit and the Duct for SRS Hurricane Wind Kit comes down to whether you want to refine your hands-on wheel ergonomics or direct your rig's physical airflow. One is a premium cosmetic and tactile upgrade for a specific wheel ecosystem, while the other is a functional utility add-on for wind simulation.

Note

The Asetek kit is locked to Asetek SimSports steering wheels, whereas the SRS duct is a universal ecosystem accessory but requires specific SRS Hurricane hardware to function.

Why choose Aluminum Button Color Kit

7.5
Overall Score
  • It replaces standard plastic caps with premium aluminum, significantly improving tactile feel and grip.
  • It allows you to fully customize and "de-orange" your Asetek steering wheel.

Why choose Duct for SRS Hurricane Wind Kit

7.0
Overall Score
  • The tool-free, GoPro-style 360-degree swivel adapter makes adjusting wind direction incredibly easy on motion rigs.
  • It offers a dedicated routing solution for your wind simulation setup at a lower entry price of $40.00.

The Verdict

If you own an Asetek wheel and want a premium tactile upgrade, the Aluminum Button Color Kit delivers excellent build quality, though VR users may find the $89.00 price tag steep for a mostly cosmetic change that lacks matching thumb rotaries. Meanwhile, the Duct for SRS Hurricane Wind Kit is a solid utility for motion rigs, but you must tolerate reduced wind velocity, extra whistling noise, and a bulky footprint in your cockpit.
