Choosing your configuration
This listing is for Qubic System - QS-BT1. Use the specifications and package contents below to check which components are supplied.
Check the supported harness, controller, mounting points and software. Simulation hardware is not a substitute for approved vehicle safety equipment.
Qubic System QS-BT1: dual-channel direct-drive seat belt tensioner for sim racing and flight simulation.
The QS-BT1 uses two independent channels to vary tension across the left and right shoulder straps. It adds physical feedback for braking, cornering, wheel lock and traction loss, with up to 200 N of pulling force per channel. Use it as a standalone PC accessory or combine it with a compatible motion platform for a more complete simulator setup.
Why choose this product?
-
Independent left and right feedback: the dual-channel system can pull each shoulder strap differently to represent lateral forces in corners.
-
More than braking: supported effects include gear changes, engine vibrations, road texture, traction loss and, in compatible flight titles, positive or negative G-force cues.
-
Flexible setup: the QS-BT1 works on its own or alongside compatible QS and other Motion Systems-based platforms.
-
Fine-tune the feel: Qubic Manager provides PC profiles and effect adjustment; the available effects depend on the game.
-
Quiet operation: Qubic's product card specifies 42β48 dB.
Product details
Qubic System - QS-BT1
The QS-BT1 uses two independent channels to vary tension across the left and right shoulder straps. It adds physical feedback for braking, cornering, wheel lock and traction loss, with up to 200 N of pulling force per channel. Use it as a standalone PC accessory or combine it with a compatible motion platform for a more complete simulator setup.
Compatibility
Platform and software: USB connection to a Windows PC using Qubic Manager/ForceSeatPM. Confirm support for your specific game and its telemetry effects. PlayStation and Xbox support is not specified for this device.
Motion and cockpit combinations: use the QS-BT1 on its own or with a compatible motion platform such as the Qubic System QS-220-PL. It is also compatible with Motion Systems-based QS, PS and HS platforms. For a Next Level Racing Motion Platform V3 setup, see the dedicated QS-BT1 installation kit; mounting requirements vary by cockpit and platform.
Harness fit: seat belts and a suitable seat are required and sold separately. For racing, the shoulder-belt slots should align near shoulder height and the straps should not pull against the neck. Check the seat and mounting position before use. On seat movers, follow Qubic's specified top-frame position close to the pivot and account for the QS-BT1's weight in the moving payload.
Technical details: two independent channels; up to 200 N pull per channel; USB interface; 0β100 Hz vibration range; maximum USB cable length 3 m. Qubic's March 2026 product card lists 480 W rated power, 13 kg device weight and dimensions of 561 Γ 138 Γ 96 mm.

Frequently asked questions
Does the QS-BT1 need a motion platform?
No. It can operate as a standalone PC belt tensioner. A compatible motion platform can add sensations such as forward acceleration that a belt tensioner alone does not fully reproduce.
Are the seat belts included?
No. The package includes the QS-BT1, power and USB connections, mounting hardware and belt attachments, but the harness, cockpit and seat are separate.
Can I combine the QS-BT1 with the QS-220?
Yes. Qubic lists the QS-BT1 as compatible with its QS motion platforms, including the QS-220. Check mounting space and moving payload for your particular cockpit.
Will it fit a Next Level Racing Motion Platform V3?
Qubic lists compatibility with the Motion Platform V3, but a dedicated installation kit and the correct mounting position are needed. Verify the exact cockpit and platform arrangement before ordering.
Does it need calibration at every startup?
No. Qubic states that the QS-BT1 uses force control and does not require calibration each time it starts.
