THE MODULAR CORE. BUILD THE WHEEL YOU WANT.
Build your own steering wheel around the GSI Interlock Base Module.
At the heart of the Interlock ecosystem, the Base Module provides a flexible foundation that can be paired with your choice of compatible 70 mm wheel rim. Add N52 paddle shifters, HSE clutches, or the optional LED Matrix as your setup evolves.
The control system provides 42 mappable inputs through 12 RGB push-buttons, two thumb encoders, two high-precision 5-way encoders, and two 7-way switches.
Integrated RGB illumination supports buttons, encoders, and a 4 + 15 + 4 telemetry LED layout. Add the optional LED Matrix for customizable gear, flag, and alert animations when using a compatible rim with a 55 mm horn opening.
Built around GSI's simOS architecture, the Interlock system is designed to intelligently manage responsiveness, power, and data while remaining open to future upgrades.
