5.0 out of 5 starsGreat budget wheel

The cost of sim gear is intimidating. If you are looking to get into sim racing as a casual to mid level this is a good place to start. Pros are: The wheel provides decent realism, and good feedback. Personally, I didn't want enough feedback to break my wrists like some DD wheels. The pedals are also perfectly fine, break is hard but that's ok by me, it allows more modulation that way. Added shifter is super fun. It's also usable on console and PC if you decide to go into the world of PC sim which is vast so it can grow a bit with you. The wheel feels well made, the leather on the wheel is a good touch. It feels like a good investment. Possible cons: the wheel is smaller than other wheels but this doesn't bother me at all. Sort of a space saver IMO. The gear driven feedback could be annoying to most as it's not super smooth but definitely not horrible by any means. It is loud though, and on dirt tracks it's laughably loud and rumbly - still does not bug me. The buttons don't have backighting, which can be hard to navigate as you get used to the button placement but that's not unique to wheels or even controllers for that matter. Lastly, there is a learning curve for the wheel, it doesn't make the game "easier" but definitely a lot funner.
Overall a true testament to the wheel is that for my purposes, which is casual but wanting to grow into sim racing, it's a solid investment and I have no regrets. If I had to buy this again, I would but would seek on sale or warehouse deal for best cost to performance ratio.
