Our Verdict
The PXN CB1 Simulator Race Central Control Box aims to declutter your keyboard and put every essential vehicle function right at your fingertips. I spent a week integrating this into my primary sim racing rig to see if its programmable inputs and linkage lever could actually shave time off my laps.
Performance & Build Quality
The device feels surprisingly robust, featuring a chassis that handles the aggressive clicking and pulling required during intense racing sessions. The linkage lever provides a satisfying mechanical snap, and the RGB lighting is bright enough to accent a dark sim room without being distracting.
Day-to-Day Experience
Mapping the 30 buttons is straightforward on PC, and the one-click start/stop ignition is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade that adds immersion. While there is a slight learning curve to muscle-memory the button layout, it quickly becomes an indispensable part of the driving routine.
This control box is perfect for sim racers looking to add physical, tactile realism to their cockpit without spending a fortune on high-end industrial hardware.
Final Thoughts
With an impressive 4.86/5 rating, the PXN CB1 proves itself as a top-tier peripheral for enthusiasts. Priced at $149.00, it provides a meaningful upgrade to immersion that is hard to ignore.
