- The Grid MPX was one of the steering wheels I was looking forward to a lot. In this video we are having a closer look at the things I like and dislike.

Enjoyed your review Magnet Guy, worth the wait. Looking forward to receiving mine & being part of the discord allows you to see how involved Grid are with their client base in a positive way.
Great review, the production quality is next level! Looks like a really solid wheel.
love your review very honest. thank you for sharing this high production quality review
Great review 😁 You are now my favorite CZcamsr to watch reviews 😃 (Boosted Media & SRG give a bit more info but are WAY too long)
Urgently awaiting your full review of the Simgrade VX P pedals (from ur prev vid I jumped off a cliff & pre-ordered a set on your advice to get the discount 😌
I would like you to do reviews of the Simagic FX & FX Pro wheels 😇
Got mine on the preorder, it’s my first ever wheel so I have nothing to compare it to but I love the shifters. Great advertising for Dennis I agree top guy.
I love the look of those oversized buttons.
Thanks for the video. Currently pre ordered but GSI x29 has me rethinking my pre order.
Where can i see the x29?
Only found a pic from reddit
x29 is not to compare with this wheel
@@pilatman8359 I know. Thanks.
With the key mapping pluging in simhub with the recently added special function key you can double the amount of rotary encoders and funkey switches.
The funkey switch positions on this wheel would be the dealbreaker for me.
Hello Dan, can you give a estimated date for full review of the vx-pro pedals please?
Dan, great video, but how do you compare it to the HP1?
Great review. Digging the graphics. So sorry about you now not being able to have kids /s
USB 2.0 with 6 lines are maybe for the additional 12V???
Good stuff. 👍🏾
good video. Yeah knowing I activate a button sometimes in same position of that funky on my wheel, that location is very bad and makes funky switch unusable. Maybe they could provide a shield for that funky switch. It would make it look a little bulky but probably easiest change to current design.
Funkys in that position at the top was "a good thing for me" though to not regret buying the F64 V3 just weeks (days?) before the MPX was announced. 😉
At the pre-order price I would have been tempted if I hadn't just bought the Ascher at about the same price (10% discount on Black Friday).
Agreed, I mean I inadvertently hit buttons way up top that far out. I can only imagine how many times I would accidentally hit a funky switch
Have you already reviewed the Simedal X-GT? I think, you’ll love the magnets.
Hey Dan nice review when will you review the gsi hyper sl that's the one I like at the min but can't find any reviews at all
I work for GSI - reviewing our own products would kinda be unethical 😅
Hey Dan, nice review. I made a list with what you can use the encoders😅 I can only use 8.
TC1, TC2, Brake Bias, Engine Mapping, Light switch (normal, endu, none), Wiper mode, in game dashboard, HUD Dashboard,
Don't forget Front ARB and Rear ARB.
@@iamjamen not in GT cars
u can go for other things aswell... i also use rotaries for ffb strengh and sound volume
Little tip if anyone has this and has squeaky buttons as Dan described and as i have had. Instead of going down the silicone lube route, just peel back the rubber and you can get you finger nail under one end and simply pop it off. Re apply and the squeak is defo gone. If you haven't got any nails use something like a tooth pick, obviously don't use anything that will scratch or you will have a bad day. Just be warned, using any lube and you get any on the button surface your sticker will never stick. The wheel is magnificent, customer service is the best.
Hi Dan, would it be possible to also review the BAVARIAN SimTec Omega One ?
Looks on similar level to GRID MPX and ASCHER wheels.
OmegaOne seems also to have some nice concepts in their use and design ...
Making the choice to pull the trigger on a new wheel soooooo much easier 🙂
No unfortunately don’t have that one
@@DanSuzuki maybe give Kolya a ring ?? it will be a contender to the upcoming Ascher McLaren series ... you gonna need to plan your agenda, cause many new wheels from ADAC2022 comilng to the market now 🙂
@@kurtb369 I'm not really reaching out to people ... already have more stuff to review than actual time available 😅😅
@@DanSuzuki the cost of success 👍😎
I saw this Wheel for the first time and I fell inlove. I wanted her in my life.
"see's the price"
Okay have a nice day.
Jokes aside, got damn, this wheel is nice. But yea in the UK cheapest I could find was a used one for £850 or a new one for £958
Maybe prices for the mk1 will go down a bit now that mk2 is announced 😊
Will this wheel work with the alpha mini?
Of course
I have so much respect for the guys making a living out of over priced gaming products, but I have to suggest, that this literally replaces a two levers that are buttons that change gears, and also some buttons that your keyboard can do, you can buy a rim for £60 plus delivered, even a cube control wheel for £80... which will turn the same DD wheelbase. For a really effective button box, you can use use a Stream Deck and have multiple pages, that each have screens that you can customise the display, rather than stickers, and for gears, get a really nice sequential or H pattern box starting at £30 and a USB adaptor onwards, loadsa choices out there, for any budget, which stays in place and you can use any wheelrim with... for push to talk strap a bluetooth remote device that works with a PC for £20. I literally only use push to talk during my iracing races. If you are advanced enough, can justify it or need the wheel go for it. Dan, I highly recommend you prepare a budget racing wheel / gears / buttons video like this, I think it would be VERY popular.
That’s not a bad idea, I’m think about it :)
Good review, I kinda think Marvel needs a new superhero... Magnet Guy
If I had to choose only one wheel to use for all cars, this would be the one. (For gt3)
Too expensive for me though
The MPX has serious funky issues....and at this point....the reason for me to choose the F core instead. Oh wait.....that new GSI.
damn...the srs promo is seriously good. So i don't need to give the magnets a chance since you already convinced them to change them lol. stickers are awsome. 3 things i miss from my simagic gt4 is 2 rear buttons, stickers (they already have signs on the buttons for no reason at all) and flashing led when i activate the pit limiter. i really like they still produce top quality non screen wheels. the screen trend is dumb imo and i hope they all keep making wheels like this.
ps. GSI should really make a more affordable and smaller wheel. 310mm is just too big.
GSI X-29. Check it out.
@@iamjamen i did, im a bit dissapointed tbh. its a bit expensive for a white led only, wired only wheel.
@@vasiliswr794 yeah MPX is a great bang for the buck.
funky switch buttons is only position that can be, any other position and would be hard to navigate, and if you cross your hands suzuki and touch switches, well you are doing something wrong. Another think, otto buttons is awsome, and rottary side buttons.... with this buttons and funkys you can do 95%things what you need in the race without taking you hands off the wheel...
My man really said that this wheel is minimalistic, brother out-law, I use a PS2 controller...
Looks like a good wheel if it was 1/3rd of the preorder price. The grips look comfy, the lights make it look good (pretty basic appearance without), design and functionality seem good on paper but have flaws, especially at this price point. Great in-depth review though, I feel like you touched on all the important topics. Nice work!
i use vr, so i dont need lights and carbon plates ;)
P65 is a California warning. Not Canada.
Today I learned, somehow I assumed .ca means Canada and since grid is Canadian …. Oh well 🤣
SRS has money to sponsor you but can’t fix their site where it’s impossible to get the VAT ID working… Priorities.
Chunky grip you say? You know what they say about chunky grips? 😂
Only combined with insanely long shafts like yours 🤣
Magnet guy? are you positive?
For 1200 it makes no damn sense
How can the magnets be a thing of the past? Are they going to recall the whole stock from all the sim racing shops and send them to china to replace the magnets? No,...they are going to sell all of it and the next batch will maybe(!) have stronger magnets. With sim racing gear being such niche products, chances are good you're getting a wheel with weak magnets.
I rather buy a car than a video game steering wheel at that point
So reason why u here is this Message, right? 🎉😂
Close to being a good alrounder? Well yeh so it should be at over £1k a pop 😂. Unobtainium
The biggest Con for me is the price. 1200€ for a fake steering wheel. Absolutly no.
Yeah I don't know what they are smoking over there tbh. That's a no for me dog. WAY too overpriced and it seems like a cash grab. Yikes
What is a "fake steering wheel"? Technically speaking 🤓 all modern steering wheels have no analog input, i.e., shifters are electronic irl. I can't say I agree with the price, but the argument of it being fake steering wheel is unfair.
@@samuelye2860 I think he is referring to the fact that it isn't designed for use in a real life vehicles. Either way, the main complaint is the price here. No point in talking about the verbage used.
@@derekd4349 fair enough
@@derekd4349 Smoking what every other high end company out there is too then. People will pay for that because its a high end hobby, like any hobby really if you want the best you pay for the best. Sucks, but the world is getting more expensive and that goes for everything in it too.
First.
This is a $500 wheel that they thought they could sell for double. I'm shocked they want so much for a Chinese wheel. They must be making a fortune on these.
If you can make this for 500$ then do it and take over the simracing market and become rich 😅
@@DanSuzuki how is this objectively better than any fanatec wheel at the same price point? You can't reasonably tell me a Cube Controls wheel with a screen is the same value as thing thing.
a screen is like 40€ - hold a fanatec wheel and the grid wheel in your hands then you know why. of course once you are in these enthusiast regions you start to get diminishing returns @@mattymatte6289
@@DanSuzuki 5 years ago this wheel would have been great. Now? Nah.
