Rexing Mayaris 2 Setup Guide: Quick Release, Powered USB and SimHub Controls

Quick summary· AI-generated

The guide walks through the Rexing Mayaris 2's technical requirements and installation process, emphasizing the need for powered USB hubs connected to rear PC ports to avoid disconnects, and detailing mechanical mounting options for Simucube, Fanatec Podium Hub, and NRG-style quick releases using specific M5 bolt sizes. It explains the wheel's carbon-fibre construction, control layout (ten RGB buttons, touchscreen, OLED displays, 121 possible inputs via modes), and how to configure it safely without over-tensioning the rear hub fasteners.

Excerpt from Sim Race Webshop B.V. - Product Higlights

The Rexing Mayaris 2 is not a basic USB rim. It combines a carbon-fibre Formula chassis, a five-inch touchscreen, configurable lighting and multi-mode controls intended for serious PC simulation. That capability also makes installation more involved than simply attaching a wheel to a quick release. This guide covers mounting, USB power, SimHub and a sensible first profile.

The Mayaris 2 front layout combines a five-inch touchscreen, ten illuminated buttons and rotary controls. What the Mayaris 2 puts in front of the driver

The wheel uses ten RGB-backlit push buttons, three additional OLED displays and a five-inch touchscreen for telemetry and dashboards. Eleven RGB LEDs can act as an RPM bar, while six additional RGB LEDs can display marshal or status information. Rexing states that the control logic can expose up to 121 inputs through modes and layers; the practical benefit is not assigning 121 random functions, but grouping car systems without reaching for a keyboard.

The carbon construction is structural rather than a decorative faceplate. Rexing describes a hand-laid, vacuum-bagged and autoclave-cured carbon-fibre epoxy composite made in Croatia, without an internal metal reinforcement plate. That explains the unusual combination of low mass and rigidity, but it also means installation deserves care around the rear hub and fasteners.

PC connection

This is a PC-oriented wheel with native SimHub support. Rexing’s official quick guide instructs users to connect it through a powered USB hub, then connect that hub directly to a rear USB port on the PC. A passive hub or an overloaded front-panel port can produce disconnects, display resets or unreliable lighting. Route the coiled cable so it stays loose through the full steering range and cannot catch on the shaft, monitor bracket or knees.

Mechanical mounting

Rexing documents two mounting methods. For threaded bases or quick releases, including examples such as Simucube, Fanatec Podium Hub and NRG-style hardware, use the specified M5 × 10 mm bolts and washers. For formula-style quick releases that use through-bolts and nuts, the guide specifies M5 × 16 mm hardware. The manual also states that three correctly positioned holes are sufficient on six-hole quick releases and mentions both 50.8 and 70 mm bolt-circle positions for the Podium Hub example.
