The semi-steering wheel collar of the Ascher Racing F64 V3 is shaped ergonomically and features a grippy and non-slip rubber surface. Once again, we took the current steering wheels design used in motorsports as a reference. So even if you drive without wearing gloves, the F64 V3 offers a good grip, even with sweaty hands.
GET EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL: 64 INPUTS
We have further technically revised input options for the F64 V3. The two 7-way joysticks, the two magnetic shift paddles and the contactless clutch paddles work even more precise. In the F64 V3, we have now integrated radially mounted thumb encoders on the side, which provide excellent feedback with every move.
APPROVED IN MOTORSPORT: OUR CLUTCH PADDLES AND SHIFTERS
Our clutch paddles and magnetic shifters are machined from a high-strength aircraft aluminum alloy. In addition to SimRacers, motorsport teams use our robust Ascher Racing Clutch Paddles and Shifters. The resistance of the paddles can be adjusted using the supplied magnets. With the clutches, you can use the precise bite-point calibration to individually adjust the pressure point for perfect acceleration.

7 WAY JOYSTICK
Both joysticks are perfect for navigating through menus or function displays in your simulation. They also have a pressure point and you can program them for adjusting the brake balance.
14X PUSH BUTTONS
The push buttons have a tactile function that always gives you tangible feedback, with every press.
PROTECTIVE BUTTONGUARDS
To protect against operating errors, some of the buttons are equipped with button guards. This prevents you from accidentally switching to the menu or cancelling your record lap.
THUMB ENCODER
The two new side-mounted thumb encoders can be comfortably accessed with your thumbs for intuitive usage even at your fastest pace.
STICKER
Your Ascher Racing F64 V3 comes with a comprehensive range of mounting accessories, but we have also included various labelling stickers.
- Precise adjustments in 1.0 % and 0.1 % increments
1. push both joystick buttons for 1s to acces bite-point mode
2. LED lights up to indicate calibration mode
3. rotate left joystick for 1.0 % increments / right joystick for 0.1 % increments (LED flashes to indicate changes)
4. exit calibration mode by pushing both joysticks again for 1s
- Recommended procedure for finding best setting:
1. enter calibration mode and set bite-point to high value, e.g. 80 %
2. pull slave clutch only
3. apply throttle
4. reduce bite-point in 1.0 % increments (left joystick) until vehicle starts moving
5. make test starts to fine tune desired bite-point setting
6. exit bite-point calibration mode
- Recommended procedure for quick race starts
1. pull both master and slave clutche
2. apply throttle
3. race start -> let master clutch snap
4. it will take less than 20 ms to reach desired bite-point
5. slowly release slave clutch

NEW FEATURES
Compared to its previous model, the F64-USB V2 features new 12-position switches which provide improved feedback, a closed shape and motorsport rubber grips.
Improved grip ergonomics including slightly larger diameter, thinner lower section, different top shape to push top button.
Rubber grips:
- Are not showing any tear
- Offers much more grip
- Perfect hardness (not too soft, not too hard) for much easier endurance racing without getting exhausted
- Can be used without using gloves (also with sweaty hands)
- Better hygienics
- New 12-position rotary knob
- Better usability in “encoder mode” (rotational symmetry)
