Product Description
Handbrake only
you will need a Console specific SimRlink hub (buttons and progressive) or Openshifter (this uses a gear as handbrake (same as Logitech RS new shifter/handbrake and is not console specific to use this handbrake
How it worksMSB Pro+ handbrake operates as an extra controller . you have the option of Progressive using Right trigger input or B button X button or A button with this handbrake
these options are controlled via the MSB module
Switch down
is progressive mode giving a analog/progressive output giving more control than using a button
Switch up
is button mode and if you press the push button while in this mode it will cycle through modes 4 modes the handbrake saves the last mode you were in
mode 1 B button (most other games)
mode 2 X button (need for speed games , crew games)
mode 3 A button (Car X , Forza Horizon , Motorsport )
mode 4 Forza mode (A button going on and off very fast used with Forza see below)
The Handbrake uses our SimRlink wireless technology to connect to the handbrake.
Includes SimRlink receiver + SimRlink handbrake the SimRlink receiver plugs into the xbox USB port and communicates with the MSB SimRlink on the front of the handbrake
You can purchase just the SimRlink receiver if you already have our MSB handbrake with SimRlink installed and this will give you access to use your clutch pedal and handbrake at the same time.
This only works with XBOX ONE / S / X consoles works with all wheels on the market for the console mentioned

New Product to help the Forza Horizon Throttle issue
You can now use this product to use your pedals as normal (while handbrake is active)
https://simrtec.co.uk/open-pedals-simrlink-g920--g29--g923--xbox--ps5-ps4-5893-p.aspwe have now corrected the lack of throttle pedal when handbrake is on , we use a Product called Open pedals (coming soon) this reads the throttle and brake values and sends them to the SimRlink receiver this will then replicate the throttle , this only works when the handbrake is on when it is off , your normal throttle will be restored , with this product you will also be able to display your throttle and brake values with displays / leds in future
DIRT 5 (We need to make a video for this setup go to inputs go down to handbrake and select it , when asked pull the handbrake this will assign Left trigger input)
Forza mode added (not progressive only works in button mode using A button)
See below issue with Forza we have added an extra mode to our MSB handbrake module
when the 2nd switch is down this is progressive operation and does not work with Forza Horizon when the handbrake is in button mode
Switch up (A button used ) it will handbrake is active (red led on) this is normal operation
in this mode if you press the push button it will switch the handbrake to Forza mode
Forza mode
This will cut the handbrake in and out very fast (when handbrake is active) this allows the below issue with Forza to not be as affected by it so you can regain control of the car even if the handbrake is held on , where as before you would have no controls until the handbrake was let go. We will try to get videos up of the issue and our Forza mode so the differences can be seen.
The Forza Horizon issue
Forza Horizon 4 (works but we have noticed when using the handbrake all the wheel controls lock out until the handbrake is released and a pedal is pressed for example you loose steering (just stays centred in game) while handbrake is pulled , you loose throttle and also gear change soon as you let go of the handbrake the wheel controls come back in.(after you press a pedal for example throttle)we recommend when using the handbrake with this game to pull handbrake get sideways then let go and do it again if you need more handbrake to not leave it pulled back for very long as you will loose all steering and throttle
