Launched at SimRacing Expo Charlotte in May 2026, the Zeus Series introduces a modular platform that works across Simagic's Alpha EVO bases, original Alpha bases, and third-party wheelbases. The headline idea is simple: one MagicDash 4 display that snaps in and out of any Zeus wheel, so if you own multiple wheels you don't need a separate dash for each one. That's a genuinely smart concept — but the accessory picture surrounding it trips up a lot of buyers.

This guide covers every configuration: Zeus wheel only, Zeus wheel with MagicDash 4, and MagicDash 4 as a standalone cockpit display. By the end you'll know exactly what to add to cart — and what you don't need.

Meet the Zeus Series

Three wheels, one platform. The Zeus Formula ($499), GT ($349), and Sport ($329) each target a different driving style but share the same accessory ecosystem and MagicDash 4 compatibility. Buy one dash and move it between all three.

What each accessory does

Before the tables, a quick plain-English breakdown of each accessory so the logic makes sense:

• Plug and play  Zeus wheels connect natively to Alpha EVO bases via the EVO's internal USB pass-through. Nothing extra to buy.
• AirLink  Wireless module for Alpha EVO bases. Required any time MagicDash 4 is involved on an EVO setup. It bypasses the EVO's internal USB slip ring and uses Simagic's own WiFi connection instead — this is counter to the EVO's original "no add-ons" goal but is apparently necessary for the most stable dash connection. SimHub note: AirLink gives you SimHub on the dash, but wheel LED control stays within SimPro Manager. For full SimHub LED control of the wheel, use Maglink Pro instead.
• Maglink Pro  Wired connection for third-party bases and original Alpha bases. Handles power and data for the Zeus wheel and/or MagicDash 4. Important: Maglink Pro requires a MagLink plate to be physically installed on the Zeus wheel itself — the wheel is not stock when using this. Also unlocks full SimHub LED control of both the wheel and dash.
• Maglink Pro Xtend  For original Alpha series bases only (Alpha, Alpha Ultimate, Alpha Mini, M10). Works differently to Maglink Pro — it's effectively a USB pass-through via coiled active USB cable rather than an internal slip ring. The Zeus wheel stays completely stock with no plate installation needed. One Xtend covers multiple Zeus wheels on the same base, so you don't need to modify each wheel individually. Also works with Simagic's QR-A when installed on a third-party base. Note: adds meaningful length to the wheelbase stem.
• MagDock  Physical mount and connection hub for the MagicDash 4 when used without a Zeus wheel. Once you have a Zeus wheel, the dash mounts to the wheel directly — MagDock isn't needed.
• QR-A  For the reverse scenario: mounting a third-party steering wheel onto an Alpha EVO base. Not needed for Zeus wheels on an EVO base — that's plug and play.
• USB-C (rear port)  There is a USB-C port on the back of every Zeus wheel, but this is for firmware updates only — not a primary day-to-day racing connection.

Identify your scenario, then check the row for your wheelbase type.

A few things worth knowing

SimHub LED control depends on how you connect. This is the detail most people miss. If you're on an EVO base using AirLink, the MagicDash 4 fully supports SimHub — but the wheel's own LEDs are controlled through SimPro Manager, not SimHub. If you want full SimHub control over both the dash and the wheel LEDs, connect via Maglink Pro instead of AirLink. For most sim racers SimPro Manager's LED control is more than enough, but if SimHub is a hard requirement for your setup, factor this in.

The Zeus Formula looks different without the dash. When the MagicDash 4 is removed, the Formula loses its main top LED strip — the dash slot sits empty and the wheel looks noticeably unfinished. The GT and Sport both retain their LED strips regardless of whether the dash is fitted, so they work as complete wheels with or without the display. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing before you buy the Formula without a dash.

Maglink Pro Xtend adds length to your stem. One Xtend can cover multiple Zeus wheels on the same Alpha base (a cost-saving compared to one Maglink Pro per wheel), but it adds meaningful physical length to your wheelbase stem. Depending on your monitor distance and rig setup, this could push your wheel further forward than expected. Check your clearances before ordering.

MagDock magnetic hold on EVO is light. When the MagicDash 4 is mounted directly to the front of an Alpha EVO base via AirLink (Scenario 3), the magnetic retention is fairly light and the dash can be nudged by hand. On a static rig this is unlikely to cause issues, but if you're running a motion platform or aggressive transducers, keep an eye on it.
