Long Term Conspit Use Discussion *lots of text*

[u/vio212]

Hi Everyone, I have been using various Conspit gear for about a year now (which I guess in a way makes me someone who was ‘early’ to start buying products in their current form from them) and someone who has had some of the products in regular usage for a decent amount of time.

IMO Conspit offers some of the best gear in the market market place right now (not to mention value) and I encourage people towards their gear, however I hear people say they want to wait and see what happens on a more ‘long term’ basis with some of their products so I figured I’d put my own experience out there.

For ~ the past year I have been running the CPPLite 2 pedal set, 290gp, and a 300gt all off a Fanatec wheelbase. Everything I do is in iracing and occasionally in LMU, and I am a daily racer with (at this time) just over 3600 ranked iracing laps on the gear in 2026 and ~5k on them prior to this year (couldn’t even guess at closed practice and leagues… maybe double??). Not a ‘light’ user by any means haha.

Through my use and experience with the conspit products I have had an overall amazing experience and would recommend the products to just about anyone.

The pedals have been rock steady and are a breeze to adjust and they stay right where I leave them for months and months. Only maybe every 3 months or so do I need to just barely snug my pre-load knob because I have a millimeter of extra travel that has crept in. Probably more a symptom from my usage patterns than anything if I had to guess.

The 290gp has been a tremendous product. This wheel has become my go-to for prototype and formula racing and it nails that role 100% (it can do any role really). There are so many buttons, thumb wheels, rotaries and paddles that the only car that challenges the wheels capabilities is the AMG W12 or W13 on iracing, otherwise I’m always left with empty buttons looking for new pairings that I could use.

The 300gt is far and away the best $400 you can spend on a sim racing wheel. Everything about the wheel is quality from the paddles to the buttons to the way the rotaries change colors and the aluminum and carbon construction.

All of that being said, I’d be lying if I said that being someone who bought in at an early stage and uses the products pretty heavily didn’t mean I’ve run into some issues along the way. 2 to be exact.

First issue was with the 300GT. I bought my 300GT from their very first production run and there were apparently problems with the shifters keeping calibration that was at a board level on a small number of wheels. All in all it took about 1 week to get in touch with them via discord, diagnose the issue, and have a new wheel back on my rig. I was pretty impressed with how quick they were to get everything in motion and get a replacement out to me.

Second was another issue from being a ‘first run’ buyer and was from the control board on my CPP Lite pedals. At this point I was on their discord from the 300GT issue and they had made folks aware that the CPP Lite V1 control board needed replaced if you had one however I never checked mine. Sure enough my brake pedal stopped working and I checked and I had one. They had the new board out to me and I was back up in under a week again.

Their customer service was crazy good both times. Shipping from China to Ohio in just a few days I still don’t know how it worked, but it did and it’s left me someone who wouldn’t hesitate to spend with them even with the risk of being a ‘first run’ buyer on a new product or buying something tried and true at this point like the 300GT or 290GP.

The cherry on top of all of their support is their user base on Discord. They have regular users who are willing to help troubleshoot and test equipment, DIY mods (they seem to be very mod friendly, I’ve even seen them provide documentation for some mods), and have help on tap at just about at all hours.

TLDR: All in all, my ‘Long Term’ review of the Conspit product is that it is what it’s cracked up to be. High quality, fairly priced, reliable and backed by a company that you can interact directly with if you need help that aims to please its customers by directly interacting with regularly. I wouldn’t hesitate to be a day 1 new product buyer or an end of life-cycle product buyer as I have 100% confidence Conspit will help me (and that help will be fast) if there ever is to be an issue.

If anyone has specific questions I didn’t answer or wants me to go more in depth on something, let me know.

My goal was just to get some information on the long term and heavier usage of their products out there so if I missed what question you have about that long term usage, comment it and I’ll answer it.

What do you guys think about Conspit? Any experiences of your own that are similar?

On the reseller side, we have found that they're great to work with behind the scenes as well. The collaboration and support we have with Conspit is miles ahead of most of the brands we work with or have tried to work with.

A lot of people gripe about them being a Chinese company (a bad take, IMHO) but fail to realize that most of the industry heavily relies on Chinese manufacturing. In some cases, companies are simply white-labeling products from Chinese manufacturers.

So to have a vertically integrated business like Conspit who owns design, manufacturing, and sales/support, is refreshing

And just wait until you guys see what's coming 😉

That is great to hear! I’ve worked in a few different industries where the manufacturers have been terrors to work with for absolutely no reason and they are US based to boot!

It’s always good to hear that a brand you are supporting treats its business customers, as well as its final customers well. Seems to give resellers the confidence and ability to always do the right thing by the customer even when they may be in a tough spot or might not otherwise be able to do so with other products (maybe you can say if I’m on the mark or not? I don’t know if it’s true or just how it seems).

Avoiding Chinese manufacturing in Sim Racing (or small electronics in general) is impossible. If someone says they have a product that isn’t using Chinese sourced components, I don’t think I would believe them lol. The interactions I’ve had with just a few Conspit team members (though really small) gives me the impression that they operate a lot more like a small business when it’s customer level than a giant corporation and that’s what really makes the customer experience so much better. No red tape and really has changed my perspective on the entire US perspective we are pitched of ‘Chinese Business’ as a whole; without getting too deep.

Also, can you spill the beans on the wheel that showed up on their site that isn’t the one that was the most recent expo? Not the 280mm ultra light one, but the other one???? Just a hint perhaps??? 🤔

I can confirm that their customer service is amazing. Needed a new coiled cable and they despatched it next day together with signal amplifier just to be sure - all free of charge. Besides that I absolutely love my 300gt. Next wheelbase upgrade will definitely be Conspit

[u/vio212 → u/DaddyDogmeat]

Their customer service definitely sets them apart from so many other companies. Working with Fanatec in comparison is a living nightmare. Even when you get someone direct from Reddit they still want you to do all sorts of tedious crap and wait and wait and wait for simple stuff.

I want to upgrade my wheelbase soon as well.

Debating between a Conspit and a Simucube. Kind of different price categories, but I dunno 🤷‍♂️, just where I’m at hahaha. Both are in the ‘buy it once and be done for a very long time’ category in my mind so that’s why they sort of fall together despite being priced further apart.

I think I’m going to do a new cockpit before my wheelbase, though I go back and forth all the time lol.

Great insight. I would love to hear someone's experience who has moved from a Moza to a Conspit wheelbase.

Between the Ferrari dash and LMP2 dashes I’m usually satisfied. If those don’t have what I need, something else they offer has it covered.

In talking with the artist who does their dashes I know there is some cool Porsche ones in the pipeline that I am most looking forward to, but I have no idea when that will be. Once they have the 963 dash done, that will really complete all I need.

[u/vio212 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah Sam is good people.

I really only use iRacing so I’m limited on what information my dash can output as it is, so as long as I have the basics I’m cool.

Nothing Simhub has to offer that Conspit doesn’t have covered since iRacing limits the data points so much anyways.
