Those velcro cable ties work great for inside the PC management too. When I built mine the other year that's all I used to keep everything tidy. Did a mix of black & gray ones just from Walmart, but I know most online retailers have them nowadays in many colors to match whatever you're using them for.

I’m sure you’re going to love it. It’s something we even use on race car steering wheels that don’t have the best grip. I remember the old Audi steering wheel and even the first version of the AMG GT3 had Alcantara grip and it was terrible. We had to wrap it in tennis grip.

That’s awesome to hear. I personally still like to wear gloves even over a nice grippy wheel. I still have a little bit of sweat because you’re constantly holding the wheel. In tennis, you have some brakes in between round to wipe your hands. In racing, you don’t really have that chance to wipe your hands, so I still love to wear gloves to give that extra grip

Guilty of the barefoot driving myself… although I don’t actually drive in real life, so it’s hard to apply the difference between real-world road car and sim there. The wind sim does not have to be expensive to be integrated with a rig setup; a bit of electronics knowledge and following tutorials can get you a speed-sensitive setup using computer fans and an Arduino to control them. All up it might be a bit more than $25, but not much more if you look online. But mostly I commented to echo the recommendation for the super clamps; I have a few on my rig for equipment like lights and button boxes. There are all sorts of adapters for the 1/8” or 3/16” threads, for example my custom button box was previously on a VESA mount (the same pattern as used on monitors). So I’m using an adapter from that pattern down to the thread, then a solid arm back to the clamp in beside the wheel. One other thing to note is that depending on their headset setup, people may want a second audio extension cable to run lines for both the headphones and the mic. Or if their headset and sound card uses the special TRRS connector (like you see on earbuds for mobile phones with a built-in mic) in to put both over one connection, that the audio extension cable supports that; otherwise, their mic may be cut off.

I bought 100ft of cable management sleeving for my cables. Made it look like a cars wiring harness. Then got my hands on some thick L shaped shelving bracket...I've got a GT Omega Art.

I've seen a few setups (both sim & real) with the tennis/baseball bat grip tape or even like a KT tape wrapped around the wheels and have always thought it looked super badass especially once it starts to get worn down a bit, like it tells a story. I've thought about doing a DIY sequential shifter and/or handbrake and using a wooden hatchet or hammer handle or part of a hockey or field hockey stick for it just to see how it wears & patinas over years of use it'd probably be so cool looking.
