One of the biggest frustrations in the motion simulation world is compatibility. You invest in a high-quality racing wheel or flight stick setup, only to find that your motion platform doesn‘t support it—or worse, the manufacturer forces you to use their own branded peripherals.
RokPex eliminates that problem entirely.
Our integrated control system is built on one core principle: total freedom. We don’t lock you into a proprietary ecosystem. Whether you‘re a fan of Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec, or high-end brands like Simucube and VKB, the RokPex system works seamlessly with your existing gear.
Our platform is compatible with over 90% of racing wheels and flight sticks available on the market today.
What If Your Setup Is Unique? We Offer Custom Solutions.
We understand that some simulation enthusiasts go beyond off-the-shelf products. Perhaps you‘re using:
- A custom-built racing wheel with a unique controller board
- A professional-grade flight stick from a boutique manufacturer not listed in mainstream catalogs
- Military-spec controls or research-grade haptic devices
- A hybrid setup combining racing and flight controls on a single platform
- Legacy or vintage peripherals with non-standard interfaces
RokPex doesn’t stop at “standard compatibility.”
We offer custom integration services for specialized and unique control setups. Our engineering team can work with you to:
- Analyze your device‘s signal protocol and develop a custom integration layer
- Build adapter interfaces for non-standard USB or legacy connectivity
- Fine-tune motion response to match the specific characteristics of your gear
- Provide firmware adjustments for seamless communication between your peripherals and the RokPex system
Whether you’re a hardcore enthusiast with a one-of-a-kind rig, a research institution using specialized haptic equipment, or a commercial operator with custom-built controls, we ensure your RokPex platform works perfectly with your gear—not just the gear we list.
No lock-in. No forced upgrades. Just freedom.
Why RokPex Offers Unmatched Peripheral Compatibility
Most motion simulators use closed control systems that only recognize a narrow range of devices. This forces users to either replace their existing peripherals or accept limited functionality.
RokPex takes the opposite approach:
- Open control architecture — Our system reads standard USB input signals from any HID-compliant device
- Zero proprietary lock-in — No requirement to purchase specific branded peripherals
- Universal plug-and-play — Connect your racing wheel or flight stick via standard USB, and the system recognizes it instantly
- Full integration with SimTools, SimHub, and FlyPT — These industry-standard motion software platforms already support virtually every major peripheral brand
- Custom integration services — For unique or specialized setups, our engineering team provides tailored solutions
