Racebox Sim Racing Buyers Guide 2026

Racebox Sim Racing makes 16 button box models priced from $84 to $349, all built with custom PCBs and genuine 2mm carbon fibre front panels. Based in Mexico, they specialise exclusively in button boxes and dashboard displays – no wheelbases, no pedals, just cockpit controls done properly. If you’re already set up with a Simucube, Fanatec, or Moza wheelbase and you want to add real dashboard functionality, Racebox is worth a serious look.

As of early 2026, Racebox offers 16 button boxes across 10 product lines, plus a carbon fibre wheelbase mount panel and accessories. Prices range from $84 for the RaceFlag LED display up to $349 for the GT-LM flagship with its 6.8″ VoCore screen. They’re not trying to be Fanatec or Moza. They do one thing, and from what I’ve seen, they do it well.

This guide covers the full Racebox range – their button boxes, mounting solutions, and where each model sits in the lineup. If you’re looking for direct drive wheelbases or pedal sets, those are covered elsewhere. Racebox is purely about dashboard controls and displays.

Why Racebox?

The sim racing button box market is surprisingly thin when you look past the cheap USB boxes on Amazon. At the premium end you’ve got Cube Controls and Ascher Racing, but they’re priced for professional setups. Racebox occupies the middle ground – proper materials and custom engineering without the four-figure price tags.

What sets them apart technically is the construction. Every Racebox uses custom-designed PCBs rather than off-the-shelf Arduino boards, which means better reliability and cleaner signal paths. The carbon fibre models use genuine 2mm twill weave matte carbon fibre front panels – not vinyl wrap pretending to be carbon. Rotary encoders use 6061 billet aluminium knobs with a high-detent force click. The enclosures are 3D-printed, which sounds budget until you handle one. Fit and finish is solid, and every unit ships with embedded VESA 75 rear mounting using 4xM5 nuts – proper mounting, not cable ties.

Community Sentiment

From the YouTube reviews I’ve watched, the consensus is that Racebox builds a genuinely well-made product. The carbon fibre is real, the aluminium encoders have a satisfying click, and the plug-and-play USB HID setup means Windows recognises them as a game controller immediately – no driver installation required. The main criticism? They’re made to order with typical production times of 1-2 weeks, so you’re not getting next-day delivery. That said, for something hand-assembled with custom PCBs, the turnaround is reasonable. They also offer shipping through resellers like Simrigs in Australia and Sim Motion in the US for buyers outside of North America.

If you want instant gratification and don’t mind a cheaper build, there are plenty of options on Amazon. If you want something that feels like proper racing kit and you’re happy to wait for it, Racebox is the space to look.

Racebox Flagship Products

GT-LM Carbon Fiber

The GT-LM is the top of the Racebox range and it’s a properly ambitious piece of kit. A 6.8″ VoCore display dominates the front panel, giving you gear position, flag status, and telemetry data all in one view. With 28 configurable inputs – rotary encoders, LED push buttons, toggle switches – you’ve got more controls than most real GT cars. The 2mm carbon fibre front panel and 3D-printed enclosure keep it rigid without being excessively heavy.

As of February 2026, the GT-LM is on pre-order, so availability is limited. But if you want the most feature-dense button box Racebox makes, this is it. Compatible with iRacing, Assetto Corsa, ACC, rFactor, and Automobilista out of the box.

• 6.8″ VoCore display for gears, flags, and telemetry
• 28 configurable in-game inputs
• 2mm twill weave matte carbon fibre front panel
• 16 RGB LEDs for flag and spotter alerts
• 7-way ALPS switch with high detent force rotary encoders

GTE V3 Carbon Fiber

The GTE V3 is what I’d call the sensible premium choice. It has a 5″ VoCore display, 16 RGB LEDs for flags and spotter alerts, and a 7-way ALPS switch that gives you proper multi-directional input. At $269, it sits below the GT-LM but still delivers the full display and LED experience. The carbon fibre version includes 6061 billet aluminium knobs and illuminated push buttons, with colour customisation options for the brake bias knob and LED buttons.

Worth noting – this one requires SimHUB software for the display functionality. That’s free and well-supported, but it’s another piece of software in your chain.

• 5″ VoCore display with SimHUB integration
• 16 RGB LEDs for flags, spotter, and warnings
• 7-way ALPS switch for multi-directional input
• 24 configurable in-game inputs
• 6061 billet aluminium knobs and illuminated push buttons

GT3-PRO Carbon Fiber

The GT3-PRO is their 3-in-1 option – it integrates an RGB matrix display for gear position, flags, and spotter alerts alongside a separate 20×4 LCD data display. That dual-display setup means you get both visual feedback and numerical telemetry without needing a separate dashboard. At $184 for the carbon fibre version, it’s actually solid value for what you’re getting. The acrylic version comes in at $174 if you want to save a bit.

With 19 configurable inputs – 3 rotary encoders, 5 LED push buttons, 2 momentary toggles, and 1 latching toggle with red safety cover – it covers most in-sim adjustments without being overwhelming. Dimensions are 240 x 160 x 70mm, so it’s compact enough to mount alongside your wheel without taking over your rig. This is the model I’d point most people towards as the sweet spot in the range.

• RGB matrix display for gears, flags, and spotter (SimHUB required)
• 20×4 LCD data display for telemetry readouts
• 19 configurable in-game inputs
• 2mm twill weave matte carbon fibre front panel
• VESA 75 compatible with 4xM5 rear mounting

GTR Carbon Fiber – Stream Deck Integration

This is a clever one. The GTR integrates with an Elgato Stream Deck MK1 or MK2, giving you physical buttons and toggles alongside the Stream Deck’s programmable touch display. If you already own a Stream Deck, this essentially turns it into a proper sim racing dashboard. The Stream Deck isn’t included – most people buying this will already have one. Dimensions come in at 220 x 175 x 49mm, making it the thinnest unit in the range at under 50mm deep.

At $179 for the carbon fibre version, it’s genuinely reasonable if you’ve already got the Stream Deck. 19 additional physical inputs on top of whatever you’ve configured on the Stream Deck gives you a lot of control surface.

• Designed for Elgato Stream Deck MK1/MK2 integration
• 19 fully programmable physical inputs
• 2mm twill weave matte carbon fibre front panel
• 3D-printed matte black enclosure with billet aluminium knobs
• Plug and play USB – no drivers required

The Full Button Box Range

Beyond the flagships, Racebox has a full lineup covering different button layouts and price points. The GT and GT3 models are their classic designs with 24 configurable inputs and acrylic panels at $149-$159 – the GT3 is apparently one of their best sellers. The GT4 is the compact entry point at $134-$147 with 19 inputs, and the RaceFlag at $84 is just an LED flag display if you don’t need physical buttons at all.

Every model in the range is available in either acrylic with carbon fibre wrap or genuine carbon fibre. The carbon fibre upgrade typically adds $10-15, which honestly isn’t much for the material upgrade. All models use the same custom PCB design, aluminium components, and VESA 75 mounting standard.

Mounts & Accessories

Racebox offers a carbon fibre mount panel ($59) that attaches directly to popular direct drive wheelbases – compatible with Fanatec CSL DD, DD1 and DD2, Simagic Alpha and Alpha Mini, and Simucube 1 and 2. It’s a 5mm carbon fibre panel that uses the VESA 75 standard to hold any Racebox button box. They also sell a separate GTS panel button box ($179) that mounts directly to your wheelbase if you want the button box integrated into the drive unit itself.

Compare by Investment Level

The Racebox range breaks down into three tiers. At the entry level ($84-$147), the GT4 offers 19 inputs in a compact form factor and the RaceFlag gives you just the LED flag display – both good for testing whether physical dashboard controls are worth the desk space. Mid-range ($169-$184) is where most buyers should look: the GT3-PRO gives you dual displays and 19 inputs, whilst the GT-FLAG V2 pushes to 27 inputs if you need more control. At the top ($254-$349), the GTE V3 and GT-LM bring 5″ and 6.8″ VoCore displays respectively, with 24-28 inputs and full RGB LED arrays.

Honestly, for most sim racers, the GT3-PRO Carbon Fiber at $184 is the one I’d suggest looking at first. Dual displays, 19 inputs, real carbon fibre, and it’s actually in stock. The GT-LM is impressive but it’s on pre-order, and the GTE V3 has been out of stock. Buy what you can get, and with Racebox, that means checking availability before falling in love with a specific model.
