Heusinkveld has brought some pretty interesting new hardware to Sim Gaming Expo 2026, headlined by the reveal of the new One SC steering wheel. The Dutch manufacturer is also showing the final production version of its DisplayDash, giving attendees in Chicago a first proper opportunity to try both products.
The One SC is particularly interesting because it represents another step beyond the pedals and shifters Heusinkveld has traditionally been known for. It also brings the company’s lightweight steering wheel philosophy directly into the Simucube 3 ecosystem.
The Heusinkveld One SC is a 270 mm steering wheel developed specifically around the Simucube 3 platform. It follows the same general design philosophy as the existing Heusinkveld One, but adds deeper Simucube integration and a significantly larger display.
Weight is one of the biggest focuses. The One SC comes in at just 1,060 grams including its integrated hub, excluding the quick release, with the main structure built from a fiber-reinforced composite material.
Keeping the wheel this light should allow a direct drive base to accelerate and reverse the wheel more easily, particularly during quick force feedback changes. That was already one of the main ideas behind the original Heusinkveld One, and it makes even more sense when paired with a powerful Simucube base.
The centerpiece is a 4.3-inch Simucube touchscreen with mouse and trackpad functionality. The wheel also carries 23 configurable RGB LEDs, made up of an 11-LED RPM strip and illumination behind all 12 main pushbuttons.
Controls include 12 physical buttons, two push rotary encoders, and two seven-way multifunction switches. Around the back are adjustable magnetic push-pull shifters and two Hall sensor clutch paddles.
Heusinkveld has also retained the broad sculpted grips from its previous wheel design, with the aim of distributing pressure more evenly across your hands during longer sessions.
With a Simucube 3 quick release installed, the One SC can connect directly to a Simucube 3 Sport, Pro, or Ultimate. This creates a particularly clean setup without requiring an external wheel cable.
There is still some flexibility for other wheel bases. An internal USB connection can be routed through a passthrough or externally, while the wheel includes both 50.8 mm and 70 mm mounting patterns.
So while Simucube 3 is clearly the intended home for the One SC, Heusinkveld has at least left another connection route available.
Alongside the wheel, Heusinkveld is showing the final version of its DisplayDash. We first saw this product earlier in 2026, but it has gone through several revisions since then and the version in Chicago represents the finalized design heading toward production.
The idea is pretty clever. Instead of having a conventional button box covered in permanent labels, the DisplayDash places physical controls directly around a large touchscreen that can dynamically display what every input currently does.
You get 12 push rotary controls, four buttons, and a seven-way switch, providing a total of 47 inputs. There are also 17 configurable RGB LEDs, with the display capable of showing both control information and a traditional digital dashboard.
The DisplayDash is fully compatible with SimHub, meaning existing dashboards and community designs can be displayed on the upper portion of the screen while the controls below retain their own dynamic information.
The entire display is touch-sensitive, and the unit only requires a single USB connection rather than separate HDMI or DisplayPort cabling. Around the rear is an integrated two-port USB hub, while mounting uses a standard 100 by 100 mm VESA pattern.
The final hardware now uses a full aluminum enclosure with slimmer bezels, improved viewing angles, a larger display, and better RGB visibility compared with the earlier prototypes.
Heusinkveld has confirmed pricing of €389 including 21 percent VAT in Europe, or €324 excluding VAT for non-EU markets. Availability is listed as coming soon, with the company not currently offering preorders.
That makes Sim Gaming Expo one of the first opportunities to actually use the finalized hardware before it becomes widely available.
The bigger takeaway from the company’s Chicago booth is how quickly Heusinkveld is expanding beyond its traditional product categories. Pedals remain what the company is best known for, but steering wheels and advanced control hardware are becoming a much larger part of the lineup.
The One SC is now Heusinkveld’s second steering wheel platform, while the DisplayDash takes a very different approach to the increasingly crowded dashboard and button box market.
Pricing and availability for the One SC have not yet been announced, so there are still some important details missing. For now, though, both products are on display and available to try at Sim Gaming Expo 2026.
The One SC is probably the most interesting Heusinkveld reveal of the weekend. At just over one kilogram, with a proper Simucube touchscreen and direct Simucube 3 integration, it feels like a pretty natural match for someone already investing in a high-end Simucube setup.
The DisplayDash may have broader appeal. Combining physical controls with dynamic labels and a full SimHub dashboard solves a problem that conventional button boxes have dealt with for years, and the finalized version looks considerably closer to something people can actually buy.
Heusinkveld has traditionally kept its product range fairly focused, but Sim Gaming Expo 2026 makes it pretty clear that the company is starting to move into a much wider part of the sim racing hardware market.
