INTERLOCK BASE MODULE
The Modular System. Redefined.
GSI Interlock Base Module
GSI Interlock Base Module
At the heart of the system is the Interlock Base Module. Available with or without paddle shifters and clutches, it’s a flexible foundation ready to pair with your rim of choice. The optional LED Matrix can be added at any time, keeping your setup open for future upgrades.
The foundation for your own wheel. Compatible with rims using a 70mm bolt pattern that meets clearance requirements. Add the LED Matrix for rims with a 55mm horn hole.

LED MATRIX
Fully customizable for gear, flag, and alert animations, bringing dynamic visual feedback directly into your races.
POWER-LINK QR CAPABLE
Connect and mount your passthrough quick release of choice via USB-C to go fully wireless on your wheelbase.
START ANYWHERE, GO ANYWHERE
No matter where you begin, every interlock can evolve into any other. Go fully custom with a compatible third party rim.
POWER-LINK QR READY
Since the beginning, we’ve pushed boundaries to create the ultimate sim racing products. The Interlock sets a new foundation for the future, built around our latest electronics and modular design.
It’s already prepared for our upcoming GSI Powerlink-QR, our next-generation passthrough QR that provides both power and data, with a conventionally placed USB-C port beneath the hub for effortless connectivity. The Interlock is ready not only for the GSI Powerlink-QR but also for any passthrough QR that uses a USB-C connection—no need to open the wheel to adapt. It also features dynamic power switching, intelligently recognizing whether it’s connected through the passthrough QR or the coiled cable—giving you seamless flexibility and complete freedom in how you connect.
OUR BEST ROTARY ENCODERS
The Interlock uses our best and most tactile rotary encoders to date for the most satisfying and precise feedback.
INTEGRATED THUMB ENCODERS
Standard all across version of interlock, map crucial car and simulator controls for easy access when you need them.
simOS Architecture
GSI wheels run on simOS, our custom firmware optimized specifically for sim racing.
It includes features like predictive algorithms to optimize responsiveness and intelligently manage power and data, as well as a suite of useful features that integrate directly with the simOS app.
