Hi all,

I'm on the edge of ordering a Wheelbase Elite v1.1 + formula V2 + CLS elite pedals (2 pedals, not the one with the 3rd pedal load cell).

I was wondering if I need to buy the USB CLUBSPORT adapter also to get the setup working on PC (windows 10) because when you look at the product page, it says that the pedals are compatible with PS4 & XBOX but PC isn't mentioned... Also my english isnt't that good, the manual wasn't very clear to me.

Can somebody help me? It's the only thing I need to know before making the order :-)


thanks a lot!

    Every single Fanatec item is compatible with PC.

    If you have a Fanatec wheelbase, then the pedals plug into the wheel base and no adapter is needed.

    The adapter is for when you don't have a Fanatec wheelbase, like if you were using one from another brand, but you are still using Fanatec pedals. The adapter lets you plug the pedals directly into the PC. (FYI this only works on PC, not consoles)

    Mega thanks! Still a bit weird that the PC logo isn't on the product page (it is for the CLS Elite LC Pedals)

    Ordering right now :-)

    COMPATIBILITY

    Platforms

    • PC: The CSL Elite Pedals must be connected directly to the Wheel Base and do not come with an USB connector. For USB functionality you need to use a ClubSport USB Adapter 


    I think this is what he Jeffrey explained you above. Since you ordered for a fanatec base (CSL Elite V1.1) it is connected on the base and the base to the PC.

    At least this is what I also understand.

    We are only trying to help. If you want to be 100% sure better wait for salesteam to answer. 😉

    I have full confidence in you guys ;-) both your explanations look very logic. It was just a bit confusing when I looked at the manual.

    thanks for the help
