Simagic Zeus compatibility guide: which accessories do you actually need?
The Zeus Series is Simagic's most capable steering wheel platform yet — but the accessory ecosystem trips up even experienced sim racers. Here's exactly what you need based on your setup.

Launched at SimRacing Expo Charlotte in May 2026, the Zeus Series introduces a modular platform that works across Simagic's Alpha EVO bases, original Alpha bases, and third-party wheelbases. The headline idea is simple: one MagicDash 4 display that snaps in and out of any Zeus wheel, so if you own multiple wheels you don't need a separate dash for each one. That's a genuinely smart concept — but the accessory picture surrounding it trips up a lot of buyers.

Plug and play Zeus wheels connect natively to Alpha EVO bases via the EVO's internal USB pass-through. Nothing extra to buy.
AirLink Wireless module for Alpha EVO bases. Required any time MagicDash 4 is involved on an EVO setup. It bypasses the EVO's internal USB slip ring and uses Simagic's own WiFi connection instead — this is counter to the EVO's original "no add-ons" goal but is apparently necessary for the most stable dash connection. SimHub note: AirLink gives you SimHub on the dash, but wheel LED control stays within SimPro Manager. For full SimHub LED control of the wheel, use Maglink Pro instead.
Maglink Pro Wired connection for third-party bases and original Alpha bases. Handles power and data for the Zeus wheel and/or MagicDash 4. Important: Maglink Pro requires a MagLink plate to be physically installed on the Zeus wheel itself — the wheel is…
