What is the Fanatec Button Caps and Sticker Set?

Fanatec’s button cap and sticker set is a simple yet incredibly effective add-on designed to help racers label, organize, and color-code the buttons on their Fanatec wheel rims. The set typically includes a variety of caps, icons, and stickers representing common racing functions - everything from DRS and pit limiter to headlights, radio, brake bias, traction control, and more.

By offering a broad selection of symbols and colors, the kit allows drivers to customize their setup exactly to their needs. Instead of guessing which button triggers a specific function, you get clear, intuitive labeling that can be recognized instantly, even in the middle of high-speed racing.

Why the set matters for performance

In the heat of competition, every second counts. Fumbling for the right button can easily ruin a lap, especially in titles like Gran Turismo 7, F1, ACC, or WRC. The Fanatec Button Caps and Sticker Set improves performance by:

  • Reducing mistakes - Clear labels prevent accidental activation of functions like ERS deployment or camera changes.
  • Improving reaction time - You always know exactly where your crucial inputs are located.
  • Enhancing muscle memory - Consistent labeling helps build familiarity, making your racing more natural and precise.
  • Keeping your cockpit clean and professional - A neatly labeled wheel not only looks better but feels more immersive.

Why they’re especially useful for PlayStation racers

PlayStation sim racers, especially those using PS-compatible Fanatec gear like the Gran Turismo® DD Pro, benefit greatly from this set. On PlayStation titles, button mapping can vary between games, meaning functions might move around depending on what you’re playing. The button caps and stickers help standardize your wheel layout across multiple games, so you don’t have to relearn your controls every time you switch titles.

Additionally, some PlayStation racing games have multi-function menus or radial control systems. Having labeled buttons ensures you know exactly which input confirms a selection, navigates settings, or activates key race controls. This leads to smoother menu navigation and more confidence during game play.

Although official PlayStation button caps are limited to some PlayStation licensed bundles, our sticker set allows you to lay out the same combination as a controller, except for the PlayStation official logo button.

For both casual players and competitive racers, especially on PlayStation, it enhances clarity, reduces mistakes, and makes your setup feel more polished and professional. If you’re looking to get the most out of your Fanatec wheel, this small investment pays off every time you hit the track.
