Wireless Quick Start Guide

Introduction

The SimXperience wireless button box is designed to be easy to use. Simply charge it, pair it to your PC via Bluetooth and map it in your favorite game using the standard procedure prescribed by the game developer for mapping control inputs.

Charging

The SimXperience wireless wheel button box features an industry leading time between charges of up to 200 hours as well as an extremely fast recharge time and the ability to operate while charging.

Charging can be achieved via a standard USB-C phone charger or via your existing AccuForce coiled cable that shipped with your AccuForce. See image above. The system is also wireless charging compatible with future AccuForce products or DIY systems via the quick release contacts.

Managing Multiple Wireless Button Boxes

Having multiple wireless wheel button boxes all named SX Wireless Wheel isn't very useful. The Sim Commander will allow you to rename your wireless button boxes in real-time. To do so, follow these simple steps:

1. Click the Settings gear icon from the Sim Commander main screen

2. Expand the Sim Device manager

3. Select the AccuForce Wireless device

4. Select one of your wireless button boxes

5. Change the name to your preference

6. Click the 'Apply' button

Lights & Blink Codes

When the button box is awake, the lights will be lit.

When the button box is inactive, the lights will NOT be lit after the default timeout period.

You can wake the button box manually by holding a button or shifter paddle for 1 full second. When you start Sim Commander, it will automatically wake the button box. 

Blinking indicates either charging or no connection with the PC.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If you change to a different Bluetooth adapter on the PC side, you must remove your Bluetooth devices from the Windows Bluetooth control panel and add it again.
