Sim racing · head‑to‑head
Choosing between the Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit and the Next Level Racing Floor Mat comes down to whether you want to refine your wheel's tactile feel or protect your floor from rig damage. One is a premium, ecosystem-specific cosmetic upgrade, while the other is a universal utility accessory.
The Asetek Button Kit only fits Asetek SimSports steering wheels, whereas the Next Level Racing Floor Mat is a universal accessory compatible with any rig setup.
The Asetek Aluminum Button Color Kit is a high-quality tactile upgrade, though its $89.00 price tag is hard to justify for VR users and it lacks matching thumb rotaries. Meanwhile, the Next Level Racing Floor Mat protects your floor at $50.40, but it easily attracts dust and offers minimal vibration dampening compared to cheaper generic alternatives.
