The desire to merge these skills of creating pushes the envelope even further and the dawn of the Asetek SimSports department is on the horizon. ” We are passionate about Mechatronics and making high performance, precision components that benefit gamers and enthusiasts around the World”.

The passion for racing simulators and its equipment sparked a lot of debate when those at Asetek found a lot of frustration with current peripherals and software that was currently available on the market from other brands. ” Their software wasn’t ideal and you always have to choose between performance and aesthetics”. So what does a great company like Asetek do? They do what they do best and put all of their knowledge and innovative expertise to work and start to create high quality parts that are reliable in all areas.
