  • The Turtle Beach Velocity One Race instantly caught the attention of both sim racers and console gamers considering how much it was offering for the $650 MSRP (US). With a 7.2 Nm direct drive wheel motor, included button box, internal screen, and a load-cell brake pedal, there was good reason for the excitement. It's also one of the better bundled systems on Xbox for those looking for a turn-key solution. The launch had some issues though, but it turns out many of the problems came from the firmware, and not the hardware itself. So how is it after several months of use, testing, and updates?

    if this had a round wheel i'd be all over that. but not only is it D shaped, it's extremely D shaped, and there's no round wheel available for it a year on...
    there's loads of good ideas here. i like the display, i like the buttons, and it's a DD kit with decent pedals from the get go. also, turtle beach has decent distribution channels.

    It's insane actually how often you see "Turtle Beach" and "Firmware updates" in one sentence. Their products always release unfinished...

    To copy your profile from the Xbox Tuner App to the wheel you have to highlight the profile you want to copy and press the 'Y' button...the instructions say press the 3 dots...but like you mentioned that doesn't work.
    Great video 👍

    Between this and the Stealth Ultra, I'm glad there's another player in the high-end peripheral market

      Not a high bar right now, considering the console DD options are rather limited.

    For the price its kinda okey. Its their first simracing product, good job to them! Shame there is no bitepoint configuration on the clutches

    • @GadgetryTech
      @GadgetryTech  Před 29 dny

      Agreed! I think for their first sim product in such a competitive space it’s a great first effort. There are a few cons but some of them I can deal with and still fully enjoy otherwise. I’m looking forward to more upgrades/updates to both software and hardware.

    Xbox really has no good racing games, forza just doesn’t quite get there, stick with pc

    • @GadgetryTech
      @GadgetryTech  Před 27 dny +1

      That's the sad part right now. Forza should have been the savior but I don't know how it took so long for this game to come out and it still be lacking in several areas.
