The CONSPIT APEX is a hydraulic handbrake for PC drift and rally simulators, identified by its manufacturer as H APEX. A 5 MPa pressure sensor, three resistance levels and adjustable preload let you tailor the lever feel. Its aluminium body measures 153 x 40 x 273 mm and weighs 0.77 kg. USB connection uses the included control box.
Available accessories
- Shifter's
The Conspit CHS Shifter combines a 7+R H-pattern and sequential +/- operation in one housing. Separate mechanical paths retain a distinct feel for each mode, while shift force can be adjusted from 3 to 10 kg. Hall sensors, tunable damping and nine RGB LEDs work with CONSPIT Link 2.0 and SimHub. The shifter connects directly to a PC over USB. Explore more handbrakes and shifters available from Simline.eu.

Two chambers in a compact vertical layout
The CONSPIT H APEX integrates hydraulic and elastomer chambers in a vertical construction. This layout brings the components responsible for measurement and lever resistance together in a compact housing.
The cylinder uses a one-piece aluminium casting finished with precision CNC machining. It forms the basis of smooth mechanism operation and fits the hydraulic assembly into a body measuring 40 mm wide.
Pressure measurement with a 5 MPa sensor
A 5 MPa hydraulic sensor measures pressure generated as you pull the lever. This supports a progressive handbrake signal rather than limiting control to an on or off input.
In drift and rally simulation, progressive input helps you match handbrake intensity to the situation on the course. The 5 MPa figure describes the pressure sensor specification, rather than the hand force required at the grip.


Precision components and a bearing-supported mechanism
The load-bearing and moving components of the CONSPIT H APEX are precision-machined and equipped with bearings. They are designed to guide the lever consistently and minimise mechanical play through repeated pulls.
An aluminium alloy body combines low weight with a construction intended for regular simulator use. CONSPIT also uses a surface treatment intended to improve coating durability.
Adjustable preload
The preload knob changes the initial tension and lever resistance. It lets you adjust the feel at the beginning of the movement separately from the selected force level.
The included tool operates the adjuster. The manual shows the tightening and loosening directions and advises reducing preload if pressure makes the mechanism difficult to reposition.


Three resistance levels selected with a locking pin
The CONSPIT H APEX offers three mechanical resistance levels selected by repositioning the locking pin. Changing the pin position lets you tailor the force required to operate the lever.
CONSPIT specifies a force difference of 1.5 between positions 1 and 3. Combined with preload adjustment, this provides two separate ways to customise the handbrake feel without replacing the device.
Rig mounting and USB through the control box
The handbrake measures 153 x 40 x 273 mm and weighs 0.77 kg net. Bottom mounting lets you attach it to a suitable rig plate or bracket; M6 bolts and nuts are included in the packing list.
It connects to a PC through the included control box with USB cable. The manual specifies CONSPIT Link 2.0 software and provides a mounting drawing to check hole spacing and bolt access before installation.

1. What is the CONSPIT APEX Handbrake?
The CONSPIT APEX is a hydraulic handbrake for PC drift and rally simulators. The manufacturer identifies this model as H APEX. It provides a separate handbrake axis for games that support this input.
2. Does the CONSPIT APEX use a hydraulic sensor or a load cell?
The CONSPIT H APEX uses a 5 MPa hydraulic pressure sensor. Its signal is based on pressure in the hydraulic system, so the specification does not describe it as a load cell handbrake.
3. Which platform does the CONSPIT APEX support?
The manufacturer specifies PC support. Your game must support a separate handbrake axis; PlayStation and Xbox compatibility is not declared.
4. How does the handbrake connect to a computer?
The handbrake connects to a PC through the included control box with USB cable. The cable from the handbrake plugs into the box, and the USB connector plugs into the computer, as shown in the manual.
5. How can I change the lever resistance?
Three resistance levels are selected by repositioning the locking pin. CONSPIT specifies a force difference of 1.5 between positions 1 and 3. If tension makes the mechanism difficult to reposition, the manual advises reducing preload first.
6. What does the preload adjustment do?
Preload adjustment changes the initial tension and lever resistance of the CONSPIT H APEX. The knob is operated with the included tool and is separate from the three locking-pin positions.
7. How do I mount the CONSPIT APEX on a rig?
The handbrake mounts from underneath to a rig plate or bracket. The product page specifies Ø6 mm mounting, and the manual shows M6 bolts. Check the hole drawing and bolt access in the H APEX V1.1 manual before installation.
8. What are the handbrake dimensions and weight?
The CONSPIT H APEX measures 153 x 40 x 273 mm and weighs 0.77 kg net. Allow additional space for lever movement and the cable when positioning it on your rig.
9. Which software does the CONSPIT APEX use?
The H APEX manual specifies CONSPIT Link 2.0, available from the manufacturer website. After connecting the device, configure it and assign the handbrake axis in your game settings.
10. Is a desk clamp included?
The H APEX V1.1 packing list does not include a desk clamp. M6 bolts and nuts are supplied for installation; a suitable rig plate or bracket must be provided separately.
11. How long is the warranty for CONSPIT products?
Simline is an authorised CONSPIT seller, as confirmed by CONSPIT’s official directory of authorised sellers. As an authorised CONSPIT partner, we provide full warranty protection for up to 2 years within the European Union, in accordance with CONSPIT warranty terms.
