Fanatec ClubSport Shifter Carbon Knobs Kit includes two replacement knobs for compatible ClubSport shifters: a 220 g round H-pattern knob and a 141 g elongated SQ knob. Both feature a metal core and a hand-crafted carbon fibre layer with a matte finish. The SQ knob is shorter and narrower than the standard metal SQ knob. The shifter is sold separately.

The Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 is a full-metal sim-racing shifter combining a seven-speed H-pattern with reverse and a sequential mode. A slider on the underside changes mode without unplugging or rebooting the device, removing the knob or using tools. Adjustable shift resistance, a 7th-and-reverse lockout, two aluminium knobs and mounting points on all four sides and the bottom make it easy to adapt the shifter to a cockpit.

Matte carbon fibre over a metal core
Both knobs feature a hand-crafted layer of real carbon fibre with a matte finish. A metal core beneath that layer gives each knob its weight: 220 g for the round version and 141 g for the SQ version.
This is a carbon outer layer over a weighted core, rather than a knob made entirely from lightweight composite. If you prefer the heavier of the two supplied options for an H-pattern gate, choose the round knob.
Round for H-pattern, SQ for either shifting style
The round knob is intended primarily for H-pattern shifting. The SQ version has an elongated shape, but it is noticeably shorter and narrower than the standard Fanatec metal SQ knob. This matters if the existing long knob does not suit the way you hold the lever.
Fanatec also recommends the smaller SQ knob for H-pattern use. You can therefore choose its shape around your preferred grip, regardless of the SQ name. Changing the knob itself does not change the operating mode of the shifter mechanism.


Hand fitting on a compatible Fanatec shaft
The knob screws onto an M12 x 1.5 thread in a clockwise direction. Tighten it by hand only, without overtightening or using thread-locking fluid. Turn the knob anticlockwise to remove it.
The thread standard does not imply universal compatibility: the manual prohibits fitting these knobs to third-party shifters. After installation, clean the surface with a clean, damp cloth and water only, without chemical additives.

1. What is the Fanatec ClubSport Shifter Carbon Knobs Kit?
It is a set of two replacement knobs for compatible Fanatec ClubSport shifters. It includes a round H-pattern knob and an elongated SQ knob. The shifter mechanism is sold separately.
2. Which Fanatec shifters are compatible?
Fanatec lists ClubSport Shifter, ClubSport Shifter V1.5, ClubSport Shifter SQ, ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 and ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 Limited Edition 2019. This list describes the mechanical fit of the knobs.
3. Does the M12 x 1.5 thread make them compatible with other brands?
No. M12 x 1.5 is the thread standard specified by Fanatec, but the manual explicitly prohibits fitting the knobs to third-party shifter shafts. This kit should not be treated as a universal fit.
4. How much does each knob weigh?
The round H-pattern knob weighs 220 g and the SQ knob weighs 141 g. These are individual knob weights, rather than shipping weights.
5. Are the knobs made entirely from carbon fibre?
The knobs have metal cores and a hand-crafted carbon fibre outer layer with a matte finish. Fanatec describes a layered construction rather than solid carbon fibre knobs.
6. How does the SQ knob differ from the standard metal SQ knob?
The carbon SQ knob is significantly shorter and smaller in diameter than the standard Fanatec metal SQ knob. Fanatec does not specify its exact dimensions.
7. Can I use the SQ knob for H-pattern shifting?
Yes. Fanatec also recommends the smaller SQ knob for H-pattern use. The heavier round knob is the option intended primarily for an H-pattern gate.
8. How do I fit and remove a knob?
Carefully screw the knob clockwise onto a compatible shaft. Tighten it by hand only, without overtightening or applying thread-locking fluid. Turn it anticlockwise to remove it.
9. Does this knob kit change PC or console compatibility?
No. This is a mechanical accessory for compatible ClubSport models. Platform, connection and game support depend on the shifter and the rest of the setup; the knobs do not act as an adapter.
10. How should I clean the matte carbon surface?
Fanatec recommends a clean, damp cloth and water only. Do not use chemical additives.
11. How long is the warranty on Fanatec products?
Simline.eu is the largest authorised Fanatec partner in Poland and Europe. Fanatec products receive full warranty protection for up to 5 years within the European Union, in accordance with Fanatec warranty terms.

13. How do I submit a warranty claim for a Fanatec product?
