Simagic Zeus is a modular wheel series with three models: Formula at $499, GT at $349 and Sport at $329, wheel only. With the MagicDash 4 screen they cost $669, $509 and $469. Simagic's launch post is dated 22 May 2026 and says they are available now.
If you drive single seaters, the Formula is the one. If you drive GT3 and road cars, buy the GT. The Sport is the cheapest and the only one with a real choice of rim shape.
Prices and launch date checked on simagic.com on 22 October 2026 (the Zeus series page and the launch post). Rim sizes, accessory prices and the drawbacks come from one hands-on review by Boosted Media, which I label where I use it. I have not driven these wheels.
The three wheels side by side
| Formula | GT | Sport | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rim | 280 mm, F1 style | 300 mm open top (Boosted Media) | 310 to 330 mm, round, D-shaped, square, rally (Boosted Media) |
| Inputs | Up to 92 mappable | Fewer encoders than the Formula, no thumb encoders | Up to 50 mappable |
| Price, wheel only | $499 | $349 | $329 |
| Price with MagicDash 4 | $669 | $509 | $469 |
| Spare rims | None mentioned | From $49 | $89 |
Simagic's own figures: 92 inputs on the Formula, 50 on the Sport, 9 interchangeable grips on the GT, 7 grips across four rim shapes on the Sport. All three have dual paddles. A three paddle module and push-pull shifters are optional extras.
Simagic does not publish wheel weights or the GT's full button count in the launch post, so I leave them out.
Which Zeus wheel should you buy?
Formula, $499. A 280 mm F1 style rim with the most inputs of the three. Pick it for F1, F2 and formula cars where you use brake bias, differential and energy knobs all the time. The reviewer says it looks unfinished without the dash, because the top LED strip only works with the MagicDash 4 fitted. That makes the real price $669.
GT, $349. The best value if you race GT3, touring cars or road cars. The reviewer's main complaint is the missing thumb encoders. If you map engine map, TC and ABS on rotaries, count your needs before you buy. Extra rims start at $49.
Sport, $329. The cheapest, and the one built around changing the rim: round, D-shaped, square or rally, in leather or suede, at $89 a rim. It has 8 RGB buttons and dual 7-way rotary switches on the face. Pick it if you race a bit of everything.
My take: the dash is where the price creeps. That is $140 to $170 more for a screen you may not need. Run the wheel without it first, since the GT and Sport keep an LED strip.
Do Zeus wheels fit other wheel bases?
Yes, but you have to buy the right parts. This is the confusing bit, and the reviewer says so too.
| Part | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| MagLink Pro | $45 | Wired connection to Alpha bases and third party bases |
| MagLink Pro Xtend | $89 | Adds compatibility with older Alpha bases, longer stem |
| MagDock | Not checked | Mounts the MagicDash 4 on Alpha and third party bases |
| Air Link | $45 | Simagic's wireless link between PC and wheel or dash |
| MagicDash 4 | $199 | 4 inch touchscreen, 21 LED indicators, SimHub support |
Accessory prices are from the Boosted Media review. On an Alpha EVO the quick release works without the dash. Wireless dash use needs Air Link. Full SimHub LED control needs USB or MagLink Pro, according to the review.
Everything above is PC hardware. Simagic does not list console support for the Zeus wheels in the launch post, so do not buy one for Xbox or PlayStation. My Xbox setup guide and PS5 setup guide cover what works there.
Drawbacks the reviewer found
- The compatibility and accessory rules are hard to follow.
- The magnetic hold of the dash on an Alpha EVO is weak. That matters on a motion rig.
- Button caps on the Formula can rattle under heavy vibration.
- The Sport sample had a slightly bent thumb encoder. That is one unit, not a pattern.
That is one review. Wait for more owners to report before you assume it applies to every wheel.
Zeus against the competition
The reviewer says the Formula and Sport are slightly dearer than the comparable MOZA wheels. If you have not picked a brand yet, start with my MOZA vs Simagic vs CONSPIT buying guide, then the best sim racing steering wheels. If you are still choosing a base, read direct drive wheel bases first. A wheel is only half the money.
Simagic also brought a KTM X-Bow GT2 wheel and its first active pedal, the P-ACTIVE, to the SimRacing Expo in Frankfurt. That is a different range.
FAQ
How much are the Simagic Zeus wheels?
On simagic.com: Formula $499, GT $349, Sport $329. With the MagicDash 4 screen: $669, $509 and $469.
Can I use a Simagic Zeus wheel on a MOZA or Fanatec base?
Simagic says MagLink Pro connects the Zeus wheels to third party bases and MagDock mounts the dash. Check your base's quick release first and read Simagic's compatibility notes before you pay.
Do I need the MagicDash 4?
No. It is optional on all three wheels. The Formula loses its top LED strip without it, so the Formula works best with it.
Are Zeus wheels compatible with consoles?
Simagic does not list console support in the launch post. Treat them as PC wheels.
What is the difference between the Zeus GT and the Zeus Sport?
The GT has a 300 mm open top rim and costs $20 more. The Sport takes rims from 310 to 330 mm in four shapes. The GT has no thumb encoders, according to the Boosted Media review.
