@@EarthIsFlat456you might be right but that doesn't make him wrong 😂
@@EarthIsFlat456 that comment just proved my point
Not bad for a first attempt at DD. Hoping the subsequent updates sort out all the issues. More competition is good for everyone.
not convinced this is good competition tho.
All the reviews im seeing have "at least you tried" vibes considering the price point. Its just not at the races. And all the fluff thrown in, isn't gonna fool the sim racing community.
You would be blown away as a kid to get this as a present. Pedals seem to be intended to be used on a solid flat surface. A solid surface at least at the back where all the force transfers to when pressing them would stop a lot of the flex. Button box needs a little strut bar from the back of it to the wheel base to stop it flexing.
I'd be blown away if someone gave this to me even as an adult
I like how they have the safety cover over the switch, but they really needed it for the start/ stop buttons.
open it up, swap the wires over to put the power on/off to the covered switch instead.
@@AgentHeX_0007 ye that makes sense. Pay 650 to do some DIY to fix the problem.
You're very smart
@@DAGATHire its called modding, plenty of people do that to 1000's worth of kit.

@@DAGATHire💪🗿🤳
its crazy how far turtle beach has come since the early days of Xbox 360 and Ps3 with just their Headsets....
been looking forward to this review. Thanks Will and Tom for getting it out so fast
I got this on release day I think it's amazing I had no issues what's so ever on iracing plus I like the button box which is a cool feature which makes you feel like you in a car 😎
Honestly looks solid for a first attempt at a reasonably priced DD. Lots of features for the price. I think a v2 with the little bugs worked out is something other entry level DD manufacturers need to look out for
I've ordered mine which I'll be getting on Sunday, as u said because they do sell in actual stores I was able to get a 15% discount so puts it down to £535 then when I go trade in my g920 I'll get another £90 for that, could get more but just want a quick sale, so for £445 I think I'm getting my moneys worth
For that price isn't that bad I guess
Where did you get your discount code from?
One of the funniest reviews of this comes from OC Racing, where Turtle Beach said they'd send him a review unit but they never followed through with that so he had to buy the wheel in order to review it.
the button box limitations really seals the no-deal for me. will have to wait to see if they revise. thanks for the review! very detailed
Hey Will. Love the content and the channel. I raced you in iracing the other day in the rain at the nordschleife. We were 2nd and 3rd for a 1/3 of the race. I geeked out seeing you on the grid. Awesome racing with you!
Haha must have been the one where I binned it on the final lap.
You can take down the brake and throttle cylinder just like the clutch does to stow it down. But you can pull the spring out of the throttle and put washers around the rod to reduce the throw distance, the wheel autocalibrates the 100% input point on every startup, so the physical change is all you need. You can likewise take the two rubber bushings out of the brake cell that compresses the load cell. I replaced one of the rubber bushings with a 2" spring, both for leverage and to get more pedal progression while still having pressure build.
I do not get any flex or play at all with the collar. I do if I put it on backwards. But if its dead on with the top 3 balls aligned. Its rock solid to the base.
wait....so this would make the load cell softer? Thats my one gripe coming from csl v1 load cell. It just feels rock hard compared to the older csl lc.
@@Jaymobe07 Theres an aftermarket rubber for the CSL load cell that does a similar thing I did with this.
I saw you racing at the Ring yesterday in some rainy GT3 action. I need to see these videos Will!
Working on it
Your big complaint, as far as i can tell, is software and a bit of flimsy design. As much as i understand the perspective of "its 600 dollars", as someone on a logitech g920 this thing looks like it would have been a DREAM first wheel, and a fair upgrade for me even now.
Do i want something like a Moza r9? yes
Do i have $659.00 PLUS another $45 for a desk clamp PLUS $159 for 2 pedals PLUS $39 for the clutch? oh yea and taxes on top? Not in the slightest.
Whereas i can get all of that PLUS a screen and button box (although software limited, i see potential) for $650 in one nice, put together kit, that will probably be expandable in the future.
As much as i can only speculate, i would love to see some genuinely low priced, high featured options like this become more common, and supporting this may be the way to start that trend.
Always good to see a new contender on the marker! That being said, this product is not for me personnaly, feels to plasticy and all.
Keep up the good work BM!
Wow, I really enjoyed this review
Yesterday i purchased my 1st full sim rig and up until a few days ago I never heard of all the popular brands for the rim racing world, but i know of TB(I never buy their headsets as they are cheap and nasty). So when people see something like this in a bricks and mortar shop they will reflect back on TB other products and they might move a decent amount of units. Pretty safe to say you will see these in JB and EB games etc.
Also thanks to you and your videos I was able to settle on a good 1st time sim rig.
Damn you got this one out FAST
Not much sleep this past few weeks. 😅 Everything always seems to all happen at once!
Loving all this new stuff coming out. Whilst this TB unit doesn't appeal to me, it gives a good kick to the other manufacturers. Looking forward to seeing what else comes out this year before my 1k goes out of the bank. Thanks for the reviews they really help make a potential choice 👍
I like that it comes with a button box but it's really just moving most of the buttons that would be on the wheel are moved to the button box. It's a cool idea that others should do too.
nice mention on the TLCM pedals by Thrustmaster... my gosh those things should have had a replacement ages ago.
looks pretty good, I'm glad another company sees the opportunity in sim racing and tried a hand. idk why, every time i see the tire wear and temp on the screen i think simcade. idk what racing game that is but take it off, my first fanatec wheel adapter snapped and the pedals had some crappy little springs
Thanks for the video
I got mine one the last day of the preorders and I couldnt be happier, I ended up paying 560 pounds for it buying directly from turtlebeach with a discount code. Coming from a g29, it feels like night and day. Not having to deal with Fanatecs shipping delays and Moza never restocking at least in the UK is a plus too.
lol have fun.
Abruzzi always have MOZA in stock. They are a UK seller.
Hey Will
I would really really want to see a review about the Nuo Evo II, because it‘s developed by just one guy from scratch. Customer Service, Software, Building and Shipping by just ONE PERSON.
I think that your channel would be an amazing platform for those kind of companys in sim racing, because they give all their passion into it.
Thanks for all your work and reviews for us, so we can have a better overall look about the hardware market.
Cheers 🎉
Oh yes, please! Even though shipping from Germany may take a while the Nuo Evo 2 are highly praised, even though the software especially for the brakes putting out raw numbers without knowing how much Nm your settings are at is discomforting me.
And I know how meticulously Will is testing esp. the brakes I would love to hear his opinion on them.
Nice review. Glad theres more comp bit it does look rather plasticky and I'm still glad I spent an extra 200 pounds and bought a bundle fanatec v2 pedals with load cell and a csl dd with mclaren gt3 wheel and updated metal wheel hub. It just doesn't compare but I understand tirtle beach is going after a different price point and its use with a desk pc part time kinda use
There will be a few guys in the Boosted Media Discord that will be very interested in this review.
The lack of standardization in the sim space has always blown my mind. Thats a huge selling point to the people in the community who actually buy substantial amount of hardware from these companies. Yet they gate this hardware compatibility off like powertool batteries, as if they expect that doing so will keep people within their own ecosystem.
World class review
Nice job
I think as someone trying to buy a sim setup with all these features but doesn't have thousands of dollars to spend, this is a great value. In my opinion, i might buy one 😂
I heard you mention a place to plug in a future handbrake, do you know if there is an upcoming manual gear shifter as well? Feels natural and Logitecal since they have a clutch pedal. A complete bundle would be so compelling (after they improve their FFB of course).
Shifting turning on/off from Start/stop to the covered switch should be Turtle Beaches first priority when making next version.
Cool, but we’re still waiting for ‘the most insane motion rig’ part 2 🤣 not going to buy it anyway, but want to see it in action.
I'd love to see it in action too! Its been sitting there for 2 months now while we wait for redesigned brackets so we can mount pedals and a base properly. Should be sorted soon.
The Huge Turtle Beach logo makes it look cheap. Nice IT crowd reference on your shirt 😄
Great review! 💯🙏🏽 I've got a Logitech G920 that I mainly use for driver training purposes and a Thrustmaster setup I use for a bit of a better experience with various racing games. I'm actually interested in the VelocityOne wheel as an upgrade from the G920! I'm very curious as to if they will release a h-pattern to plug into one of those expansion ports. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏾
Completely agree, would love a step up from the g920, but I do use the H shifter a lot at the moment, I may just wait it out🤔
@@TobySutton I think I'll wait for a h-pattern as well if it does release. I love heel-toe down shifting and clutch kicking, shfiting through the gears, etc. It's such a fun experience on a sim setup. Paddle shifting can be fun as well, but nowhere near as engaging as h-pattern! 💯🙏🏽
Hey man! Could you review MVHstudios wheels in the future?
These camera's angles at the beginning made the wheel to look the half size of your body. 😮
I wonder if H patter shifter will come out eventually, I'd like to say yes since it looks like they'll have different wheel rims ?
Just having them in stock and being able to ship in a timely manner will put them ahead of the game these days. It was pretty much the deciding factor in my decision to buy a GPro.
Or being able to walk into a store and buy it (or return it) over the counter.
Exactly. The Gpro arrived early at my local best buy (two days and around Christmas too) and being my first DD wheel I had no Idea if it was for me or not so a convenient return option was part of the decision also@@boostedmedia
Which firmware are you using? I noticed at first as you said, it felt muted but i felt a change after an update. But i also raised the strength up slightly.
I feel like the conclusion might be a bit too harsh. Personally, I found the experience of this setup to be pretty awesome with just a few tweaks and changes in settings. I've tried out a bunch of DD wheels, and for the price, this setup is unreal. Seriously, it's like comparing night and day to any belt-driven wheel - they're not even in the same ballpark. Plus, there have already been a few firmware updates, and I bet there'll be more to come soon with more accessories etc.
All valid points, but the fact remains that the CSL DD provides a superior FFB experience for similar $. If it wasn’t for that it would be a lot easier to recommend.
Yeah I get your point, exciting to see what they update moving forwards. You can’t get the CSL base with cell loaded pedals, digital display, control unit though. I just think as a bundle for the prices it’s fantastic ! Unmatched in the current market. Plus they offered 10% off on launch so you get the slot for £560 from £640
Having in mind the product is directed to more of a casual users less settings is not bad idea I remember first ffb wheel and amount of settings that I haven't got a clue what they for was overwhelming .
Will, from your testing is the movement in the quick release or the shaft? From the Velocity One base I tested, the QR was more solid while the shaft had noticeable FFB affecting play. I'm partly trying to figure out if there is a standard quality issue, or if I happened to get a lower quality/defective unit from them.
In our case it seemed to be primarily play in the interface between the stem on the base and the sleeve on the wheel side. Same as with the metal Fanatec QR1. The wheel itself naturally ahs some flex due to being plastic.
@@boostedmedia interesting, perhaps the manufacturing tolerances are not very consistent.
Yep I’d say so. Exactly the same with the QR1. Plenty of people swear their setup has “zero flex”. I’ve tested hundreds of combos of bases and wheels and not one of them ever had zero flex but it did vary.
Looking at your video now (nice job BTW). My base definetly doesn't have anything like the shaft flex that yours does judging from your video.
@@boostedmedia thanks for confirming, yeah generally it was not a positive experience at all.
I have their Flight Sim Yoke, and this wheel seems to have the same philosophy (features over build quality), but not as well executed as that is. The throttle quadrant attachment is much sturdier than the button box is. Plus all the inputs can be mapped even on Xbox (to be fair, it might only just be MSFS that allows this on Xbox). The Engine Start button functionality is a huge head scratcher
Their next version I’ll be keeping an eye out because if they’re smart, they’ll learn from this product and tweak a few things.
@boostedmedia I was looking at the footage at 55:46. Two questions: are there any lag between the wheel dash display tele vs the on screen tele; meaning are they nsync? Do they both register the same values at the same time?
I didn’t notice any significant lag
i got this wheel the day it came out mainly because it's the best DD for xbox. i've had it for a week now and i really like it but i would like to try the moza r3 if it comes out soon
Wrong. The BEST DD wheel for Xbox is the Logitech Pro but it's not cheap. Highest quality around and in stock not like Fanatec junk or Moza's R3 which is a toy that you can't buy.
Yeeeees!!! Lets GoooOOOOoooo!!!
Best review channel on earth bro!
You should collab with Linus tech tips and show him how to set up their rig.
That's gotta be a good video!
I dont think Linus would be interested in doing a collab with a tiny channel like this. It has absolutely zero benefit for them.
@boostedmedia what if this comment gets enough likes? Or even just your reply does?
If we can get 5k likes, would you maybe consider pitching the idea to them?
@@GregoryShtevenshno, boosted in a completely different (higher) league than Linus. Boosted is humble and open to other points of view.
And most importantly boosted isn't a shill.
And respect to Gamer Nexus for calling out/ exposing LTT's inaccuracies and shilling, that's who you need to be following... Heck even jay2cents
@torbinzix1 I've been watch Steve for years.Jay is ok.I like Jufes too and Tech yes City.
But I'm not holding a grudge against LMG.
I do agree nobody has the integrity you see with Will here at BM.
Even in his talking points rather than a script style.
That's not my thing though to carry drama. I just like good content.
It's funny though I haven't watch LMG since I got into sim stuff last November. I forgot that the last thing I'd seen was that cringe "just kidding" video with his wife in it lol.
But that's like 1 bad run out of years and years of good content from them.
They have done a lot of good and lot often done a lot of bad. I guess that's just how I remember them.
I dunno... maybe it wasn't a good idea.
Hadn't given it much thought past "I'd like to see that"
@@GregoryShtevensh for sure I get what you say 👌
Cool to see turtle beach make an entry into the racing market. Looks like they've missed the mark here though, especially for PC sim racers. Will probably still be an ok purchase for xbox users on forza or something. I also think comparing it to the Fanatec lineup is not exactly fair though. The direct competitor for this would have to be the Logitech G-Pro DD wheel, and so comparisons against that would have been nice to see.
I bought one and have been using it with Forza 5 in standard set up on Xbox. Is there a place we can go and get suggestions for each Xbox game on how to configure the Velocity One Race?
I am also looking for configuration for F1 2023…
Great starter set !
The graphic at 2:47 says 'VolocityOne'.
Feels odd to see a Turtle Beach wheel. I still remember their awesome sound cards and trying to get DOS drivers to load in memory.
Im not familiar with Turtlebeach, will there be a Playstation version of this?
I don't see the link to the manual in the description mentioned in the video?
I currently have a Logitech G923 PlayStation edition. I’ve been looking at upgrading to a direct drive wheel. But I want one that can work on PlayStation so I can play GT7. Been looking at both Fan and Moza. Probably end up with something from them.
dumb question. how would you compare the force feedback of the turtlebeach vs moza r5 or even fanatec with 5nm ff?
Same question I had. I feel like higher quality less power is better than more sloppy power. I have r9 btw, love it.
I ordered the MOZA R5 bundle a couple weeks before this came out. Was worried I made a mistake not waiting…Not anymore.
9:10 (wheel cross-compatbility)
Did you ever try powering it on without try wheel connected? Did FFB work? That would answer that question.
How about those 6 bolts holding the hub on the wheelbase? Is it a 6x70 pcd?
Yes FFB works with no wheel connected (tested by others). I haven’t measured the PCD. Will check this week.
Would you recommend the moza r3 over this?
MOZA is sold here in Denmark in Retail.
Moza is also sold here in New Zealand in Retail outlets.
I like the esthetic of it, but I'm a little deterred because of possible quality issue and the missing emersion. I am going to stick to the r5 bundle. I may revisit it down the road though
Man speaking of rotating mass dampening a wheel base, my new asetek button box and round wheel totally deadened my TK wheelbase!!! Bummed me out a little, but it may force me to go on up to the invicta to get what I want out of it eventually haha. I was surprised to find this.. my aliexpress wheel (piece of junk) didn’t do that, of course a basic round wheel with no button box doesn’t do that, and the stock formula wheel doesn’t do that.
That’s interesting because sure I didn’t find it had a massive impact on our La Prima base. What strength are you running your base at?
I run it at 12nm. I’ve only really used that wheel in any amount that matters on dirt rally 2.0, it just seems a lot less punchy to me if that makes any sense. Strength wise, there’s plenty still.
curious to know if you have already or plan to cover the BavarianSimTec ΩPRO? (i posted this on an older video also by mistake)
At this stage I honestly have no idea. I had a meeting with them many months ago to organise it. They wanted to go ahead. The they ghosted me. Managed to get back to get back in touch and they said they’re struggling to fulfil orders. So I guess they aren’t gonna interested anymore.
@@boostedmedia that’s understandable, hopefully they can sort their issues out and you can get hold of a unit.
Wish you and your team the best
for the money seems just right special if you get bored of sim racing not a lot of money spent
Very decent first attempt into the sim market. However, if I were to need Xbox compatability I'd wait for the 3.9mn moza r3. A mature ecosystem now with scope for a bunch of peripheral add ons and/or base upgrades as the wheel has been tested to work on higher ff bases.
I do expect the tb ecosystem to grow eventually, but I mostly leave others be the early adopters and do the beta testing.
Problem is, Moza is saying that for 1.5 years now. I believe this project has failed. Why has MS licensed turtle beach but not Moza?
@@YourDailyR they only announced the r3 6 months ago. The delay is on Microsofts end, moza has proven proven to pump out units and new products quickly. Production is not an issue for moza.
@@GTdriver81 I got it but TB announced theirs, what? 2 months ago? How can they get licensed and Moza not?
@@YourDailyR that's a question for Microsoft. Moza doesn't have production issues, they just released a sequential handbrake and trucking wheel, also no r5, r9, r12 , r16 or r21's on backorder.
@@GTdriver81 do you think MS really cares? Moza wants(or no) to sell. How can you make all marketing counting on someone else’s dependency? I’ve emailed the and they never mentioned MS in the equation. I never seen anything in any site regarding MS being the problem.
seems like the pedals flex more the way you have it hanging over the mounting area. Still not confidence inspiring either way. great review as always
It seems that logitech could do something good with a 500US G-Standard 5-6NM DD bundle, with a couple of wheels available (gt/f1, drift) and a new shifter and handbrake 👏
Even though it's not a product that I'd be interested in buying, I was still excited for your review 😂. As I expected, the wheel bundle is disappointing. For what it sells for here in Australia at $1299.00, it's a bit of a joke. Fanatec 8nm CSL DD McLaren bundle with Elite V2 pedals cost's $1360.65, not even 5% more. Not even the same league, is it? Thanks for your legendary content as always!
Yep. That’s the hangup for me too. It’s. It’s not in the same league as the McLaren bundle which is very close in price.
Wait for the big discounts. Anything in bricks and mortar gets some big discounts if you're willing to look around and wait. Thrustmaster I've seen at 40% off, Logitech 50% off, so I'd expect something similar down the line.
Can Turtle Beach please tell me why the circle in the centre isnt a screen? Could easily show which gear you on or your revs. Missed opportunity in my opinion
Cost per unit
Issue I feel was overlooked - you can't butt the pedal set against a wall (as I normally do if not mounted in a rig) they put the cable inputs coming out the back, rather than the side.. that's a bit dealbreaker for me usually on 'cheaper' sets, but given you said it doesn't seem to slide using their rubber pads, probably not the worst thing in the world.
That’s a very good point! Could put a small block of wood or something behind it to just allow enough room for the cables I suppose.
@@boostedmedia yeah I guess there are workarounds! We always find them for the love of simracing haha
Be aware that Turtle Beach always lacks behind in Firmware support and with the VelocityOne Yoke they didn’t even include all features since the firmware wasn’t done!!
@boostedmedia thank you for the review, you saved a lot of newbie simmers from either wasting money or understanding what they are getting into if they purchase this wheel. If this wheel did not have direct drive with 7 Nm torque, then I would view it as strictly a toy for kids or non serious sim drivers.
Hi guys, this was the only place i could think to ask the following question, has Barry Rowland at Sim Racing Garage been sick?, no Videos for months. Big fan of both channels.
No he’s fine. He’s just doing other stuff now. Lost interest in sim racing.
He lives about 25 minutes from me in Virginia. He still posts sim racing and flight stuff all the time on Craigslist.
U just got the button box guy fired😂
It does look quite sad lol
Glad to see you didnt see the same issues as Oscar with OCRacing did with pedals not picking up everytime
Yep. That was bad! Would be good to know if the firmware update fixed it for him.
Does anyone know if this has a shifter?
Did you do the firmware update before the review ?
Yes
Just wondering is there a part 2 to the ultimate sim rig? Did I miss it? Uploaded a couple months ago
No unfortunately. Still waiting on some redesigned parts so we can finish mounting our gear. The pedal plate that came with it didn’t fit any pedals we have here.
No wuccas, Must be hard seeing it just sit there :p @@boostedmedia
Pretty safe to say the belt and gear driven wheels are only going the very lowest end wheels from now on. Madcatz will have the low end market cornered... do they still exist?
No more Madcatz. They've been out of business for years.
Hey will mad review, I know this isn’t the right place but is there any news on all the clubsport dd+’s being bricked, kinda stuck waiting for a reply on a support ticket.
None that I'm aware of. Most Fanatec bases in the past have been recoverable by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. The power button should then flash blue, indicating its in DFU mode and you can then use the firmware recovery tool to reflash and recover the device. I havent tried it on a CS DD/DD+ personally though. I suggested it to one person on Reddit and he said it didn't work for him.
@@boostedmedia yeh same I tried all troubleshooting steps possible, might have to wait for an rma, the base cannot be started no lights on the power led.
It makes no sense to me from a technical perspective that the base could brick itself just from powering down out of order as it’s not writing anything to the firmware.
My gut feeling is if you leave it long enough for the internal capacitors to discharge it will probably fire back up. Again I haven’t tested specifically though.
@@boostedmedia will give that a shot, I’ll post an update on the fanatec facebook group if it’s successful, been trying to start it everyday since last Saturday.
That may be a failed power supply
Had mine for not even a month and it making a loud clicking noise from the direct drive
In Australia at least, Fanatec shipping times are good for the CSL DD. Both me and a mate got ours in under a week, just before Christmas!
In contrast, Moza takes ages in Australia apparently if you need to go through their customer support and not a direct retailer.
If you're in Australia, then for 639aud, the P1 V2 CSL DD bundle that me and my mate got, is honestly a better buy!
We both got srm mini emulators, I printed out adapters, and now we can drift with deep dish rims for cheap.
I also modded my pedals by adding an RC damper mod that seriously improved the clutch and throttle!
I just think if you're not getting a Moza R9 or Alpha mini or logitech gpro, depending on what you like, then you just can't go past the CSL DD!
Get the 5nm bundle, then get the 60aud 180w psu and you're set with 8nm for under 700aud!
I think all Consoleros ask herself: did the Dashboard works on XBox(Series)?! Not Setup, i mean Racinginfos like RPM, Speed, Fuel, Gear...i heard it should work on Forza and MS had open SDK from XBox for this to third Delevoper🤔
Fanatec is being out of pocket I ordered some pedals on february 18th I still don't got not even a tracking number can you please check what's going on with fanatec the shipping please and have good day
so basically, in australia, your better off buying the fanatec csl DD bundle, and chuck in the load cell brake and table stand, and it would still be cheaper and better overall.
Why is this not playstation compatible?? will they make one?
Wish they had a gear shifter
The analog paddles might be for disabled people that can't use there feet?
The fact you get DD and load cell pedals is incredible value at this price. The button box is kinda just an extra gimmick so it being the weakest part of the bundle isn’t a big deal for me as the rest of the bundle is already great value.
I’m a little disappointed though that u frequently compared to the Moza R9 which is both a much more expensive and stronger wheel but never once mentioned the R5 as while it is weaker it’s much closer in price for the same stuff so I feel it should’ve atleast been mentioned.
I expects wheels like the R9, CSL DD and Cammus 10 to preform better since they r both higher priced and stronger wheels. Comparing it to the R5 would really put into perspective what sort of value for money you are getting. If a 7.2nm wheel can’t out perform a similarly priced 5nm wheel then it’s really only a good value for Xbox players who don’t want a fanatec. Whereas if it does clearly out perform the R5 than it truly is a great package for the price
Bonjour, cette base fonctionne t'elle mieux qu'un Csl élite PS4 ? Merci 😊
Non, il est que sur pc et Xbox, pas sur PlayStation.Son pique est a 7nwn et fonctionne a 4nwn constamment. Le pédalier est nul, avec seulement 50kg de pression. Tu ne vas pas être précis. Je suis la pour la même raison que toi. J'hésite entre le fanatec, et celui ci. Après plusieurs review du turtle beach, je pars sur fanatec dans hésiter.
Are the brake pedals SUPER HARD for anyone else? Any game I have to slam the brakes. I ended up bending the cord because i was slamming them so hard so get full braking, and changing the sensitivity does nothing!
Set the sensitivity to 100%. The other two settings are ridiculous. But yes if it’s your first time using a load cell brake it will take some getting used to.
ill keep my self DIY'ed custom Logitech G25 Ryzen Edition
Bonkers"off" button position and crazy flex. It's like they stopped the good design team and told them they had to add some stupid crap just so the next version would have some improvements. Either that or the designers were about to change company and decided to throw in a design flaw just for giggles. Craziness.
You did not touch on Xbox. Lot of customers have been waiting for the Moza R3 and its been a no show for a long time. This wheel depending on country could be a better option ( I know here in South Africa, Turtlebeach is everywhere) , but would have really liked if you could do a review on how it works on xbox
Might be a good upgrade from a T300RS
I'm also thinking about that.. but they are still missing a good H/sequential shifter for console use + handbrake
So why offering a decent 3 pedal set with clutch..
Maybe the fanatec 500€ bundle is still the better deal
