Scores are AI analysis of public information (specs, manuals, published reviews and owner reports), not a hands-on test. How we rate
Pros and cons
- Dense control layout covers iRacing and ACC without a button box
- Carbon faceplate and very crisp magnetic paddles
- 70 mm PCD moves between Simucube and other boutique bases
- Formula grips are a poor fit for rally or drifting
- Wired USB; quick release sold separately
Watch out: Needs a 70 mm quick release and a USB cable run to the PC; on Simucube 3 that means the 70 mm adapter or Link QR.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The Ascher Racing F64-USB (now sold as the V3) is a boutique formula-style wheel aimed at people who already own, or are close to buying, a direct drive base. It's a long way from first-rig budget territory: the official price is €1,099, and US retailers list it around $1,020–1,070, often out of stock. In return you get a 285 mm rim with a rubber grip, 14 tactile push buttons, two 7-way joysticks, two encoders, magnetic shift paddles and contactless clutch paddles. USB means it works with many bases rather than one ecosystem, but you must pick the right quick release (Simucube, MOZA, Simagic, Asetek, VRS and others are offered) when ordering. It's PC-only in practice, and there is no display. For a first rig, a base-brand wheel costs far less. This makes sense as a later upgrade if you want a high-end formula layout and don't mind buying from a European brand with limited US stock. We haven't verified console support, and you should confirm the exact revision before buying.
Questions buyers ask
Will it fit my wheelbase?
Ascher sells it with a choice of quick release: Simucube 2/3, Asetek, MOZA, Simagic EVO, VRS, Buchfink. Choose the one matching your base when ordering.
Does it work on PlayStation or Xbox?
It's a universal USB device aimed at PC. Console support isn't stated on the official page, so assume PC only.
What's the difference between USB and SC versions?
USB is the platform-independent version. The SC version is wireless for Simucube bases and has a battery rated for 800 hours, charged by USB-C in about 6 hours.
