It’s been a little while since I last reviewed anything from Conspit, and the CHS, their dual-mode H-pattern and sequential shifter, arrived on my bench as a pre-release sample. In today’s review I go through the build, the fitting (not as straightforward as I would have liked), the software, and a test session in iRacing, and why this is now the best shifter in sim racing, without a doubt.
I’ve spent a good while with three of Conspit’s GT and Formula wheels on my own rig – the 300 GT, the 290 GP and the Max 01. Here’s how they compare, where each one wins, and why the 290 GP is the one I keep coming back to.

A first-hand look at the Pimax Dream Air SE SLAM – the lighter, cheaper micro-OLED headset that asks a lot less of your graphics card than the full Dream Air. I raced in it to see whether the resolution drop matters in a cockpit, and where it sits against a Quest 3 or the full-fat Dream Air.
It’s been ages since I last ran with a round steering wheel, so Conspit’s 310 APEX arrived at a good moment. In today’s review I go through the build, fitting it to my Simucube 2 Pro, the paddles, the little screen and SimHub, and a long blast around Lime Rock in the FF1600 – and why, for a little over £300, this is quite a steal.
If you follow VR for sim racing at all, you know Pimax: enormous field of view, silly-sharp resolution, and a long-standing reputation for making you wait. I’ve bought a few…

I’ve tested a lot of DDUs over the years, and most of them fall into one of two camps: a cheap plastic-cased add-on, or something so tall and thick it…
Right, this one is well off my usual patch of wheels, pedals and race seats. The MOZA FCS Farming Control System is a joystick, a throttle lever and a 46-input…
Rally is the purest test of car control there is. No wheel-to-wheel racing line to hide behind, no braking markers – just you, a co-driver reading the road a few…
