TESSEL Reserve

Production Run 01 · 318 of 500 reserved

Lit from within.

A modular dashboard for sim racing. Slide in a screen, a switch panel, or both, then set the mood of the whole room from the dash.

Reserve for $50 See how it fits

01The Core

Mount it once. Change everything else.

The Core bolts to your wheelbase and carries power and data to whatever slides in next. It's the only part you'll ever need a tool for.

02The slide

Four seconds, no cables.

Modules ride hardened steel rails and seat on a 12-pin connector with a magnetic click. Pull one, slide in another, keep driving.

03The system

One core. Any cockpit.

Start with a screen and a switch panel. Add signal lights next season. Every module we make fits the Core you already own.

Green builds.

Lights fill from the outside in, so you read them in peripheral vision. Your eyes stay on the apex.

Amber commits.

Halfway up the bar you're past the torque peak. Stay in it.

Red is the warning.

Points are set per car and per gear from real telemetry, not a fixed percentage.

Blue means now.

The whole bar flashes on the shift point. Across both modules, and the Core's center light.

Next gear.

The bar resets and starts building again, all the way to the flag.

Tuned for the hour when the room goes dark and the lap times drop.

Set the room.

Each module throws a soft wash of light beneath it. Pick a color and this page follows, the way your rig will.

How it clicks.

No drivers to hunt down, no cable runs behind the wheel. Three steps from box to grid.

  1. The Tessel Core on its own, rails visible on both sides

    Mount the Core

    Four bolts to your wheelbase with the included plate. The only time you'll need a tool.

  2. Display and Command modules sliding toward the Core on its rails

    Slide in a module

    Line it up with the rail and push. It seats on the 12-pin connector with a magnetic click.

  3. Your configured Tessel with its lights on

    Drive

    Profiles load per car, so lights, keys and screens are ready before you leave the pits.

Made to be found in the dark.

  • Knurled encodersTwenty-four detents per turn. You count clicks, not pixels.
  • Homing keysA raised dot on the pit limiter, so your thumb finds it at 280 km/h.
  • Auto-dimming glassThe screen drops to 40 nits when the room does. No glare in your periphery.
  • One cableUSB-C from the Core. Modules draw power and data through the rails.

Before you reserve

Does it fit my wheelbase?

The Core mounts with a standard M6 pattern. We include adapter plates for the major direct-drive bases and publish the drawings for everything else.

Can I change my build after reserving?

Yes. Your deposit holds a numbered unit, not a configuration. Change modules, finish or keycaps until we ask you to confirm before shipping.

Can the underglow follow the race?

Yes. Flag sync turns it amber under yellow, blue for a faster car, white in the pit lane, and back to your color on green.

Will future modules fit?

The rails and connector are fixed for the life of the system. Anything we release slides into the Core you buy today.

What if I cancel?

Your $50 comes back in full, any time before your unit ships.
