Sim racing · head‑to‑head
Comparing the Next Level Racing Elite Premium DD Side and Front Mount Adapter and the VNM Shifter Table Clamps (2 pcs) highlights two entirely different philosophies in sim racing hardware. One is a premium, high-end cockpit accessory designed to secure powerful direct drive wheelbases, while the other is a budget-friendly, ultra-focused desk mounting solution for a specific shifter.
These two products serve completely different functions and cannot be directly swapped. The Next Level Racing adapter is built for rig-mounted wheelbases, whereas the VNM clamps are designed specifically to mount the VNM Shifter V1 to a desk.
If you are building a dedicated aluminum profile cockpit and need to mount a heavy direct drive wheelbase, the premium Next Level Racing adapter is the necessary choice. However, if you are a desk-bound racer using the VNM Shifter V1, these dedicated table clamps offer incredible, flex-free stability for a very low price.
