Have you thought about how companies like Simucube make products that last? In a detailed article created by Traxion in collaboration with Simucube, they interviewed Simucube’s research and product development team and uncovered where the company’s reputation for sim racing equipment that live up to expectations comes from.

Simucube’s vision for sim racing equipment that lasts

Simucube’s research and product development team explains that durable and reliable products get their start in the very early stages of product development. This means having the right mindset, the right quality parts, and accurate testing regimes.

Simucube’s Head of R&D, Vesa Saastamoinen, explains that many people working at Simucube have a long history of creating durable products.

What Saastamoinen sees as the hardest part of product development is pushing the high-quality product design into full-scale production. The challenge here is to make sure each unit produced is at the same level of quality.

Industry-leading ActivePedals

Vesa Saastamoinen highlights the importance of having enough resources, a peaceful workspace, and the ability to focus. With these factors, the R&D department can come up with something completely new to the market, like the ActivePedal.

Simucube ActivePedals are a great example of what can be created with the right mindset, a focus-encouraging workspace, and industrial-level components.

Markus Nuuja, Project Engineer at Simucube, shares that creating the first proof of concept and validating the idea took some time with the ActivePedals. Now, the rest is history. The entire sim racing market changed when Simucube introduced a new sim racing pedal concept in 2022.
