Telemetry
The biggest new feature is the wireless transmission of telemetry data to the steering wheel within the Simucube ecosystem, which is now possible for the first time. What has been possible with other manufacturers for years is now also coming to Simucube and the same titles as with the Active Pedals will initially be supported. The currently still relatively small list of simulations, which already fully supports the most important simracing titles, can be viewed here:

Battery
As the QR does not have a power outlet, Simucube has installed a rechargeable battery that can be charged via a USB-C cable. According to the manufacturer, this is designed for several 24-hour races in a row before it needs to be recharged.
