Nobody noticed the "ClubSport Handbrake"?
What's there to notice. We know this for years that it is coming, yet we still don't know when it is coming and how it exactly works.
I was more intrigued by a ClubSport shifter knob with buttons.

We do not know when it is coming, true, but we know how it works, it is a hand brake.
I mean more like what type of system does it use. Load cell? Springs? Some alien technology?
Why should they make their shifter more expensive for existing Fanatec customers?
Edit: One thing wrong with this adapter is that it should have supported many products at once. At the moment, you need to buy one for shifter and the other for handbrake if you want to connect both directly to PC.

People complain there was no usb adapter. Fanatec creates usb adapter. People complain there is a usb adapter. Can't win.
fatkrakr. Fanatec makes the shifters compatible with the wheels, hence why it is not usb standalone. Otherwise how would they connect to the wheel base? Let me guess... an adapter? Rather the non Fanatec wheel users buy the adapter, rather than the loyal users. Good grief...

No most people complained it wasn't usb, not that there wasn't an adapter. Are you saying you cant make it work with both? Because as far as I know the csp are standalone and can also be connected direct to the wheel. So it wasn't to make it compatiable with Fanatec wheels.

Always someone with negative comments.
Fanatec didn't need to make the adapter, and I'd say that for the most part the people that would like to use the shifter with another wheel will be happy to pay the tiny fee.
Other adapters have cost a lot more in comparison and I've never heard anyone complain about those.
I paid for a Basher board to use my TH8 with my CSW and I was more than happy to pay the fee. These adapters give us options.

I think I figured out the problem with my wheel loosing center. Some how some of the paint on the code wheel itself has flaked off. It isn't much but its right where the code wheel passes through the code wheel sensor. After looking at what may be involved in removing the code wheel I may be sending it in for repair this time. I guess the good news is I now have a spare sensor.

I received a RMA today from Fanatec. They are shipping me a new base. Should be here Saturday.
Hi, I rarely post but how long did it take them to get back to you after you submitted your RMA? I purchased my csw base, formula rim and bmw , pedals, and customer Sq last week and received it Saturday. Got them setup Sunday and found that the bmw rim won't shift up with the paddle shifter. The button is dead. I submitted the RMA Sunday night with a video but haven't gotten any response.

I find with Fanatec its 1 email a day. So you should be hearing something soon. Its also best if in your first email you send a copy of your invoice and the serial number. A video or pic of the issue can also save time.This can save a couple emails, which saves days. The shipping takes around 3 to 7 days depending on where you live.

Check that your RED quick release depresses all the way back to the edge of the wheel rim. Sometimes the spring pokes out which gets in the way of the quick release from fully depressing. It's a common issue, but no big deal. Simply take a pen or pencil and push the spring back in and you're golden.

Could've been the issue, resolved it by taking the QR collar apart and replacing the balls, now working fine. But shift lights, gear indicator display not working and not getting any FFB at all...
Also I noticed a white wire sticking out on my BRAND NEW rim!! WTF Fanatec!!?
Small issues, but come on! I just dropped $700 + on this thing!!

Fill out there return form on the site, include pictures and video and call Fanatec's German phone number during business hours to tell them you submitted the return form and that you would like your situation handled swiftly.
The call really moves thing alone I find. A little hello and good bye in German also can't hurt.
