Depending on how power hungry your accessories are, how long your cables are, and mandatory if you want to connect three additional accessories (e.g. different brand pedals, plus a shifter and handbrake), you may need to connect a powered USB hub (one that plugs into the wall/mains) between the "**Accessory**" port and your accessories.  _Power issues usually manifest as disconnections, and Force Feedback (FFB) dropping out._

When using accessories that are **NOT** designed to connect directly to your wheel, you may encounter the following:

* An accessory may require an additional purchase to adapt it to the USB "**Accessory**" port, such as Thrustmaster® T.RJ12 USB Adapter or Fanatec® ClubSport USB Adapter, detailed on the [**Compatibility List**](../compatibility).  Legacy Logitech® accessories if not connected to a Logitech® wheel will require a Co-Pilot (separate purchase).
* We <mark style="color:red;">**DO NOT**</mark> support Leo Bodnar®, homemade projects, or anything **NOT** listed on the [**Compatibility List**](../compatibility).  If you discover something works, feel free to let us know at [**support**@**collectiveminds**.**ca**](mailto:support@collectiveminds.ca) but understand that we <mark style="color:red;">**CANNOT**</mark> provide support or advice for it.
* Multiple accessories usually require a powered USB hub (one that plugs into the wall/mains) between the "**Accessory**" port and your accessories.
* Accessories such as shifters, handbrakes, and pedals may require initial configuration on Windows PC, e.g. pedal calibration.  For example, Fanatec® CS 1.5 via ClubSport Adapter must be set to handbrake through its respective software.
* If your pedals are not fully accelerating or braking, fully press down each pedal individually for about 10 seconds, then release fully.  This will calibrate Drive Hub to the full pedal range.
* If your pedals are mapped incorrectly, follow the [**Pedal Mapping**](pedalmapping) page.
