Press Release



Fanatec, a brand of CORSAIR, has unveiled the CSL Steering Wheel GT3, an Xbox-ready racing wheel that delivers premium performance at an accessible price. The Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel GT3 features a unique rocker-style magnetic shifter system that allows seamless one-handed upshifts and downshifts, while its analogue paddles support a programmable dual-clutch setup for precision launches — or can serve as a hand-operated brake and throttle alternative.

A crisp OLED display provides live telemetry data such as gear and speed, alongside access to the Fanatec Tuning Menu via the 7-way FunkySwitch. With nine buttons, dual 2-way toggles, and two 12-way Multi-Position Switches, racers have extensive control at their fingertips. Designed for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, the CSL Steering Wheel GT3 ensures full Xbox compatibility across all connected Fanatec ecosystems.
