1. USB/BLE connection and battery charging The F-PRO introduces two new main features: A dual-mode that allows you to use the steering wheel via USB connection or through direct Bluetooth connection to the PC. The Q-CONN, the magnet connector for a fast and easy connection.
To connect the device via USB using the Q-CONN magnetic connector: Simply plug the Q-CONN connector to the mating connector on the back of the steering wheel. Make sure the USB-A end is connected to your pc. Turn the steering wheel on via the dedicated button. Start-up animation will be shown on the steering wheel, and the PC should immediately recognize the USB device. To connect the device via BLE: Make sure the coiled cable is disconnected from the steering wheel.
between device and PC. A dedicated bluetooth device with an external antenna is recommended. Standard miniature dongles might cause poor connection due to the small integrated antenna.
2. Battery charging As soon as the Q-CONN cable is connected, the device will automatically start the battery charging process if needed. Battery status led legend: Green means the battery is fully charged. Yellow means the battery is being charged. Flashing red means the battery is at 5% capacity or less and needs charging. Charging on the fly while in BLE mode is possible and the connection will be used only to charge the battery without affecting the BLE communication.
Battery level in % is also available from the Bluetooth connected device list in the Windows “Bluetooth and other devices” page. On both connection methods, the device is seen by Windows as the same interface. This means that re-mapping of controls in-game is not needed when using it via BLE or wired USB.

4. Interface notes The POV switches/funky switches/joysticks (up, down, left, right) are meant to work only if a “clicky” sound feedback occurs. Therefore there’s no risk to press the direction and accidentally enable the center click button. Toggles 24 and 32 works this way: once the toggle has been activated the respective led will turn on, when the toggle has been flipped off it turns the led off.
5. Clutch calibration Before using the analog clutch paddles it is necessary to calibrate them from the Windows game devices section. This ensures that the full travel is used. Some simulators might read directly the device RAW data, but it is not always the case.
6. Launch control settings By default the maximum value of the left clutch paddle can be adjusted with the respective slider in the Cubesettings app. Therefore, if the clutch slider is set in the middle of its travel, when fully depressing the left clutch paddle, its value will go from the minimum to the value set by the clutch slider, which is middle in this example. The right paddle always works in a range from min to max travel, no matter how the clutch slider is set.
It is possible to swap the master clutch analog paddle with the left one in the config page of the Cubesettings app. Via the Cubesettings app it is also possible to set the analog paddles to separate instead of combined. This way the launch control is no longer available, but it is an useful feature especially for users with leg disabilities since it allows to set throttle and brake directly on the steering wheel.
7. Wheel installation Our universal hub on the back of the wheel body allows the user to install various adapter, or even connect it directly to your FFB base. Highlighted in blue the M5x0.8 metric holes. In gray, 5,5mm through holes. Both of them are available in 70mm or 50.8mm bolt pattern. Through holes are rotated by 180°, so flipping your adapter to match the wheel hub may be needed. Please refer to your adapter or motor manufacturer to ensure compatibility. Inner 50.
8. Paddles adjustment Shift paddles can be easily adjusted to better suit your hand size and driving preferences. T10 drive needed. Length can be adjusted by slightly loosening the two screws highlighted in the right picture, and sliding forward/backwards the carbon paddle. Reach can be adjusted by slightly loosening the two screws highlighted as the right picture and the two on the opposite side of the shifter as pointed by the small arrows, then rotating the lever body upwards/downwards.
9. Clutch paddles adjustment The travel of the clutch paddles can be adjusted in the same way as the shifters.
10. Useful tips Each wheel comes with a full sheet of stickers and a set of plastic tweezers useful to install them to your liking. Before applying the sticker make sure the surface it’s clean. Try to install the USB coiled cable by wrapping it loosely on your FFB motor shaft/adapter in such a way that it will not suffer any strain even when doing full opposite steering rotations. Make sure your rig is grounded correctly. Each wheel comes with an auxiliary USB connector that comes out from the main hub.
