Heusinkveld DisplayDash: Everything We Know So Far

The Heusinkveld DisplayDash is one of the more interesting upcoming products in sim racing right now, and honestly, it did not take long to understand why. Even as a working prototype at the expo, this thing already looked like a very serious bit of kit. Thin, clean, premium, and packed with far more functionality than most traditional button boxes manage to offer.

What makes it stand out most is that it is not only a dash and not only a button box. It is both at the same time, and it seems to be trying to solve one of the more annoying little issues in sim racing hardware.

What Heusinkveld has actually revealed

Heusinkveld first revealed the DisplayDash earlier this year, and since then the company has continued refining the concept before showing it off again in public. The product is being positioned as a combined digital dash and button box, built around the idea of giving users physical controls with live on-screen context instead of fixed printed labels.

You get the tactile feel of proper hardware inputs, but instead of relying on static stickers, the screen itself can show what each control is doing at any moment. For anyone who uses a lot of in-car functions, that is a genuinely smart direction, because it makes the unit feel much more adaptable than a traditional button box.

As of the latest official update, Heusinkveld has said the unit is still targeting a late spring 2026 release window, with pricing expected at around €300. That is obviously still a very important part of the discussion, because if the final retail price stays near that level, this could become a very serious value proposition for the amount of hardware being offered.

The feature list is honestly kind of ridiculous

In terms of physical controls, the DisplayDash is loaded. Heusinkveld says it includes 12 push rotaries, 4 buttons, and 1 seven-way switch, for a total of 47 inputs. That alone would already make it a pretty serious button box. But then on top of that, every control sits in front of a display area that can show live context, values, or labels, which is where the…
