Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Or rather, let’s get those hands on the wheel, the CAMMUS wheel to be precise. Introducing the CAMMUS C5, an innovation that’s bound to steer the sim racing community into a whole new direction.
Remember the days when Shenzhen’s CAMMUS Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. was just another budding company founded in 2008? They were ambitious, delving into the complex world of automotive electronics and stirring the pot with performance and power modification projects. Fast forward, and now this Shenzhen-based powerhouse, with its deep roots in electronic accelerators, throttle controllers, and intelligent driving systems, has spread its wings even further. They’ve even got their own supercar, the Titan, which left jaws dropping across the Chinese racing scene back in 2016.
The sim racing community, often familiar with exorbitantly priced equipment, now has a knight in shining armor. CAMMUS isn’t just about supercars; they’re here to bring the thrills of the racetrack right to your living room, ensuring that your racing dreams inch ever closer to reality.
Let’s talk about their latest masterstroke, shall we? The CAMMUS C5, a wheel that revolutionizes the direct drive concept. CAMMUS boldly reimagined the traditional wheel base, integrating the direct drive force feedback system directly into the wheel itself. It’s sleek, innovative, and brilliantly designed. The cherry on top? A fan outside and a mounting bracket, proving that CAMMUS is all about details.
The design is as functional as it is stylish. Adorning the wheel is a carbon-fibre effect plate hosting an array of buttons, switches, and LED indicators. With hints of PlayStation symbols, one can only speculate about future compatibility. What’s undeniable though is the craftsmanship. As with any product, it’s not without its critics, with some finding the gearshift paddles a bit too discreet. But as they say, innovation often breeds a mix of awe and skepticism.
Speaking of innovation, the engineering brilliance behind the CAMMUS C5 is nothing short of genius. Drawing from technology similar to that of robotic arms, this sim racing equipment promises an unparalleled experience. CAMMUS claims the C5 to be “the only truly portable direct drive simulator in the world”. While some might feel the sim racing market isn’t quite ready for such groundbreaking tech, others, including yours truly, appreciate CAMMUS’s audacity and vision.

In a market riddled with overpriced equipment, CAMMUS stands out not just for its trailblazing tech but also its commitment to affordability. As they continue to evolve, they’re on a clear trajectory to redefine the racing simulation landscape.
