Leoxz XGT Pro Setup Guide: USB vs Wireless, SimHub and Quick Release Fit
Quick summary· AI-generated
The article walks through the Leoxz XGT Pro's key buying decisions: whether to run the wheel's 0.96-inch IPS display via USB (enabling custom SimHub dashboards) or via optional 2.4 GHz wireless (limited to built-in dashboards), plus how to select the correct quick-release variant for your wheelbase. It covers the wheel's spec (295 mm rim, carbon-fiber panels, 14 RGB buttons, dual joysticks) and provides wiring/setup guidance for each configuration, emphasizing the need to avoid simultaneously connecting USB and wireless receivers.

The Leoxz XGT Pro combines a 295 mm GT-style rim, carbon-fibre front panel, RGB controls and a compact telemetry screen. Its buying decision is more specific than the wheel's shape: how will it mount to your wheelbase, and will you run the display by USB or use the optional wireless link? This guide walks through both choices before you order.

Leoxz specifies a 295 mm polyurethane grip, 4 mm 3K carbon-fibre front panel and paddles, 14 RGB buttons, two multidirectional joysticks with integrated encoders, four push-button encoders and two thumb knobs. The 0.96-inch IPS screen has a 160 × 80 pixel resolution. The manufacturer also lists configurable RGB LEDs and standard magnetic shifter paddles; clutch paddles are an optional configuration rather than something to assume is in every box.
The wheel has a 70 mm quick-release mounting pattern, but a quick release is not included in the standard box. The included USB-GX12 cable allows a wired connection. Check the exact paddles and quick-release option shown in your selected store variant.
USB or 2.4 GHz wireless?
Choose USB for custom SimHub dashboards
Leoxz says the XGT Pro uses SimHub for telemetry and SimBridge to pass data to the wheel. The maker's own notes state that the custom SimHub dashboard operates through USB. If configurable on-wheel telemetry is the main reason to buy, plan for cable routing, a suitable USB port and enough slack for full steering rotation. Install the current Leoxz software using the manufacturer's instructions before mapping the display.
Choose wireless when cable freedom matters more
The separately sold Leoxz XGT 2.4G Link provides the optional wireless connection. Leoxz specifies that wireless operation uses only its built-in gear-and-speed dashboard, rather than the custom SimHub dashboard. Place the receiver close to the wheel as Leoxz advises and check the current firmware and link setup. Do not connect the wheel's USB and the 2.4G Link to the same computer at the same time; Leoxz flags this in its download notes.
Pick a quick release by wheelbase
For a Fanatec QR2 setup, inspect the Leoxz QR2 Quick Release variants carefully: LINK, PRO and CORE have different wheel-side uses, and a matching QR2 base-side is required. Leoxz warns that its Fanatec torque-unlock functionality depends on a compatible Leoxz QR, and its published Fanatec testing…
