The global pioneer in smart technology to showcase direct-drive wheels, modular pedals, high-performance controllers, and more in Las Vegas!
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PXN, a leading brand of gaming peripherals, is proud to announce its attendance at CES 2026 on January 6–9, 2026. The exhibition will take place in Las Vegas, with PXN located at Central Hall, Booth 15941. As a global smart hardware company, which always puts users at the center, PXN will showcase the official 2026 hardware line-up, including the best-selling Direct Drive VD Series, Next-Gen Vector X pedals & GT ONE Wheel, a variety of controllers including new teasers, and the V10 DD Series: the entry-level Direct Drive bundle shaking the sim-racing market.
VD Series Direct Drive Ecosystem: New-Gen Direct Drive is Now:
PXN's VD Series is a tiered direct-drive ecosystem built around a low-inertia, cog-free multi-pole servo motor, a high-resolution 24-bit magnetic encoder, and PXN's Sense+ force-feedback algorithm, aimed at delivering "high-detail" Direct Drive feel with smoothness you can actually feel at the rim. The range is deliberately stepped: VD4 (4Nm constant / 5Nm peak) as the entry point, VD6 (6Nm constant / 7Nm peak) as the all-rounder, and VD10 (10Nm constant / 11Nm peak) as the halo/pro option for drivers who want stronger holding torque, faster response under load, and maximum performance during competitive sessions.
PXN Modular Load Cell Pedals (Vector X) and GT Wheel (GT One):
PXN's upcoming GT One wheel and Vector X pedals aim squarely at the "serious modular" end of sim racing: a 300mm esports-style GT rim with telemetry shift lights and encoder-heavy input for in-car adjustments, paired with a carbon-focused pedal set built around load-cell braking and dual-sensor throttle measurement. The GT wheel stacks 12 RGB-backlit mechanical buttons, three 12-position absolute encoders, and two 7-way encoder switches, giving drivers the kind of control surface typically used for on-the-fly changes. On the pedal side, Vector X leans into mechanical stability and signal fidelity: a multi-link guided brake mechanism driven by a 200 kg load cell, plus a dual-sensor throttle combining a Hall angle sensor with a 15 kg load cell, all tied together with a 24-bit magnetic encoder and PXN's proprietary X-Cross algorithm, with full parameter tuning through PXN SimRacing.
V10 Series Bundles: The Definitive Beginner Wheel
PXN's V10 DD Series (V10 Ultra / V10 Pro) is positioned as a true "value-entry" direct drive bundle: a compact servo direct-drive wheelbase paired with a 270mm PU-leather D-shaped wheel and bundled pedals, built to give first-time racers the defining DD advantages (clean response, smooth force build-up, and better detail than gears/belts). The bundle is designed for multi-platform users (PC / PS4 / Xbox One & Series X|S via controller authentication) and supports dual-ecosystem tuning: deeper adjustments in PXN SimRacing (PC) plus quick changes and preset workflows in PXN NEXUS (mobile), so new drivers can get "good feel" fast and then refine over time.
P5 8K + P5 Controllers - Multiplatform & High Performance:
PXN's P5 controller line provides competitive price point products, with two distinct philosophies: the PXN P5 focuses on maximising budget spend to performance, with durability and consistency via Hall-effect sticks + Hall linear triggers, while the PXN P5 8K takes it a step forward, pushing for ultra-fast response with dual 8K chips, capacitive joysticks, and an app-unlocked polling-rate ceiling up to 8000Hz.
Shifters, Button Boxes and Handbrakes - Immersion Amplified:
PXN's growing accessory ecosystem is designed to elevate any racing setup into a fully interactive cockpit, with practical add-ons such as H-pattern and sequential shifters, analog handbrakes, and the best-selling CB1 Control Box for expanded, race-car-style input control. But that's not all, PXN will also be showcasing other product categories, including the upcoming V2 WL gaming wheel, a dedicated flight simulator series, and additional accessories, further broadening the versatility and reach of the PXN ecosystem.
With its presence at the Expo, PXN aims to further expand its global recognition, highlight the breadth of its growing product ecosystem, and demonstrate how its hardware continues to push accessibility, performance, and innovation forward. Visitors are warmly invited to stop by the PXN booth to experience the full lineup firsthand, meet the team, and discover what's coming next for sim racing, flight simulation, controllers, and beyond.

PXN Redefines Sim Racing with New-Generation Ecosystem and Gaming Peripherals at CES 2026
AUSTIN, Texas, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Saronic today announced it has selected Brownsville, Texas as the future home of Port Alpha, its next-generation shipyard designed to help restore American maritime strength and significantly expand the nation's shipbuilding capacity.
The announcement marks a major milestone in Saronic's mission to restore U.S. shipbuilding capacity at scale. First introduced as a vision for the future of maritime manufacturing, Port Alpha now moves from concept to reality through a planned investment of more than $3 billion that aims to establish one of the most advanced shipyards in the world, built for software-defined shipbuilding and autonomous maritime systems.
The project is expected to generate more than $160 billion in regional economic impact for Cameron County and $264.5 billion for the State of Texas, while creating up to 10,000 direct jobs. This makes Port Alpha one of the largest economic development projects in modern Texas history. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026, with Port Alpha expected to open for operations in 2028.
The timing is pivotal. In one of his first actions in office, President Trump issued an Executive Order on Restoring America's Maritime Dominance, followed by federal initiatives such as the SHIPS for America Act and the Maritime Action Plan that call for a generational rebuild of the American shipbuilding industry. These efforts recognize that economic security and national security are inseparable, and that restoring U.S. shipbuilding capacity is essential to both. Port Alpha will expand domestic production capacity and strengthen the nation's ability to meet commercial and defense requirements while closing the widening shipbuilding gap with foreign adversaries.
"America's maritime future depends on our ability to build again," said Dino Mavrookas, Co-Founder and CEO of Saronic. "Port Alpha is our commitment to that mission. Built from the ground up to deliver ships at a speed and scale not seen since World War II, this investment is about more than constructing a shipyard. It is about rebuilding the industrial capacity, workforce, and manufacturing advantage required to ensure American maritime leadership for decades to come. The state of Texas and city of Brownsville give us the foundation to turn that vision into reality."
Following a year-long nationwide search evaluating sites across the East, West, and Gulf Coasts, Brownsville was selected after a rigorous review of workforce availability, infrastructure readiness, land scale, logistics, and expansion potential. Initially situated on 835 acres at the Port of Brownsville, with the opportunity to expand to nearly 4,400 acres, Port Alpha will encompass a shipyard and manufacturing facility capable of producing vessels up to 850-ft. Future site expansion could support the production of vessels over 1,200 ft. The site provides hundreds of acres of waterfront access, deepwater channel connectivity, multimodal logistics infrastructure, and room for long-term expansion—everything required to anchor a next-generation shipbuilding hub.
"Today marks history with the announcement of the most advanced shipyard in the entire world," said Governor Abbott. "When this shipyard gets fully built out, there will be about 10,000 employees. Saronic is going to be providing about $750 million in annual paychecks to Texans. That's game-changing for the population of Texas. As Governor, I'm proud that Saronic calls Texas home."
Over the next decade, Port Alpha is expected to create up to 10,000 high-quality direct jobs spanning skilled trades such as welding and machining to advanced roles in robotics, software engineering, and naval architecture. The project aligns with national calls to rebuild the maritime workforce pipeline, creating new opportunities for skilled workers at the intersection of shipbuilding and advanced technology. Saronic will collaborate with the State of Texas, Cameron County, and local educational institutions – from regional technical colleges to leading State universities and institutions – to develop workforce training and apprenticeship programs designed to sustain long-term industrial growth and position South Texas as a center of excellence for advanced maritime manufacturing.
Port Alpha builds on Saronic's expanding shipbuilding footprint. In early 2025, the company acquired a shipyard in Franklin, Louisiana, where it is investing $300 million to add 300,000 square feet of production capacity. That facility will continue producing Saronic's 180-foot Marauder autonomous vessel, which was designed and launched in less than one year. Together, these facilities represent a multi-billion-dollar private capital commitment to restoring American shipbuilding capacity, advancing autonomous maritime systems, and strengthening the nation's industrial resilience.
More than a shipyard, Port Alpha represents a new model for American shipbuilding—combining advanced manufacturing, software-defined production, and autonomy at unprecedented scale. To sustain that edge, Saronic is forging strategic partnerships with leading manufacturers, emerging shipbuilding technology providers, and premier suppliers, ensuring that the latest capabilities continuously strengthen and inform Port Alpha's production architecture alongside Saronics' in-house expertise. In doing so, Port Alpha embodies the transformation envisioned in national maritime strategy, one that leverages technology to strengthen deterrence, resilience, and operational flexibility. As construction advances, Saronic will continue working with federal, state, and local partners to establish the industrial foundation required for the next generation of maritime power in America.
