These innovations will be presented at the [2026 Consumer Electronics Show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-peripheral1) in Las Vegas. PXN's product strategy involves a tiered sim racing ecosystem — dubbed VD Series Direct Drive Ecosystem — that targets various user segments, from novice entrants to dedicated enthusiasts. The core offering is a series of [direct-drive steering wheel bases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamesir-swift-drive) differentiated by their torque output. These are paired with modular components such as the GT One racing-style steering wheel featuring numerous programmable controls and the Vector X pedal set utilizing load-cell technology for brake input. The company also markets a more accessible, all-inclusive direct-drive bundle, dubbed the V10 Series Bundle, aimed at novices, alongside conventional gamepads and supplementary accessories like gear shifters.
