Linus dropping a similiar vid while you're filming yours has got to be a whole different type of mood
I remember a while back GN reviewed a cheapo Amazon cooler, and a month or so later LTT reviewed it. Unusual, as LTT didn't really review mundane, ordinary hardware.
id rather watch dawid
The term is "getting Dereked"
Dawid > LTT. He doesn’t assume we are all millionaires….
At least Dawid won't sell it on without consent.
That steering wheel has the same vibes as the "4K ULTRA HD" gaming consoles you find for $3 on Wish
It very much does. It’s crazy to me that the stand somehow managed to be even worse. 😂
So like modern marketing of Sony/Xbox consoles too, when it's just upscaled 1080P? lmao
@@JakeobE from 720p no less, 8k gaming at it's finest, says so on ps5 box lol
Dawid really does know how to delve inside the deep depths of Amazon
He's our sherpa into the realm of awful tech stuff.
@@bierrollerful Nothing quite like a journey down terrible tech lane.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff I fell victim to a drunk, overly horny, smelly hobo... so it was probably a little like that.
@@dromnispank4723i bet said mobo also exudes sticky, protective coating cheese 😉
@@alderwield9636 well, he is very focussed on the customer experience!
I had that wheel for my xbox 360 and I can 100% sympathize with the suction cup struggles 😂😂
I believe you have the steering wheel in digital mode instead of analogue, and that's why it's either fully left or fully right. See if you can find anything about how you can change the mode in the manual
What I was thinking too.
I would be very surprised if it has an analog mode. I think it is pretty much just a controller with a really awkward D pad.
pretty sure the deadzone is not 0%
@@--_DJ_--usually they at least have a pot for steering, the pedals seemed to have pots in them, if they have them, the wheel also probably does
@@LatvianVideo The ad does say analog on it, so you are probably correct. I am shocked by the price of this POS. $166 CDN... yikes. Looking closer it say "Digital, Analog and Steering Wheel mode" so who knows what that actually means. The analog could be the pedals only.
I bought a used G27 strapped to a wooden frame with an actual car seat attached (probably a Honda civic seat) for 300 Canadian Rubles a few years ago.
It’s a very fun little set up.
You can mod the G27's brake pedal with a load cell sensor for a better experience. Well worth looking into.
@@KingRocket Interesting, thanks!
The fact they used bicycle tire levers on the stand really goes to show the craftmanship of the product.
6:15 "...my majestic stool... rounds off the crappiness.." Well played, sir.
The Duck Tape was the perfect compliment to this set-up. I love that it's made you want to try a proper racing sim out :) it was clearly kinda fun.
And when the suction cups just didn't work at all on the table 🤣
Duck Tape? Seriously? Duck?
@@777NnyYeah that's the name of it. It's a brand name that became a genericised trademark. Non name brand ones call it duct tape because it sounds so similar.
@@777NnyThe tape earned its nickname from WWII where the waterproofing features were remarked as making their horrible boots become "as waterproof as a duck".
@@drunkenhobo8020The "Duck Tape" brand wasn't a thing until 1984 when Manco added the Duck logo and Duck tape branding to its offering some 40 years after the invention of duck tape.
Him using the 3rd person cam instead of the interior view makes this even better.
This hurts to watch, I wouldn't have paid €20 for that wheel.
Thanks for the stand review btw, I had thought of getting one for my Logitech wheel to replace my lawn chair with a 1x8 bolted to the arm rests, but from this video I've concluded the lawn chair is significantly better.
Imagine the disappointment people have when they get that piece of crap dropped off at their door step.
I bought it of AliExpress and it couldn't handle my Thrustmaster TX at all😭
The only good thing is the mat and the screws 🤣
Had to bring my Playseat Challenge back.
@@JubbLaRacing What made you buy that when you already had the challenge? I've been toying with the idea of getting a cheapish sim setup, the challenge kind of looks decent.
@@--_DJ_-- Because i hate getting in and out of it, and i wanted something that didn't take that much space.
I have gotten rid of my drumkit so space isn't an issue anymore.
Planning to upgrade.
yess, please do more sim-racing stuff. I have to justify the grand I put into sim equipment, serving me well for half a winter 2 years ago.
I would love to have a sim like that (excluding PC cost). Must be fun.
The only games I can ever get into are racing games.
The wheel looks like those plastic ones you get on a child's driving car toy 😂
10:28 Dawid showcasing his bondage skills
Ah yes, the Vibration Steering wheel with PS2/PS3 and PC support, truly groundbreaking and incredibly advanced with incredible reviews!
Definitely not a cause for concern!
This video was hilarious! You should give yourself a similar budget on the used market and do a comparison video.
That’s a great ideal!
I have bought a complete stand, so race chair and wheel+pedal holder, pretty stiff and the Thrustmaster T125 For a total of 165euro second hand. It works amazing for what I want now.
Yeah that is a great idea
@@DawidDoesTechStuff if you do Dawid can we get some footage & commentary of the search please,
living in Australia I like when you add that part to your videos as I get to see what the used market in your area is like compared to ours.
Agreed something along the lines of a used playseat challenge and a used logitech g27 would probably cost around the same while actually being a legit and enjoyable setup
Just what i needed today to make me laugh. You can never underestimate the jankiness with David trying the cheapest stuff, awesome stuff, keep it coming
wanted to see this soooo bad from but never thought you'll do sim racing...
thanks man loved it...
Um.. Welcome to the club?
Literally crying with laughter when you were driving with the steering wheel in midair and when the duct tape came out 😂😂😂😂
10 minutes in and Dawid went full Dawid on the thing. Loved it. Thanks for your wonderful videos as usual!
This must be the wheel combo that half of the open lobby racers use on pretty much all sim titles. The style and skill level is consistent with what we just watched....
Getting this rig for Christmas...proper excited,can't wait
I have an old serial wheel setup from the Win98 days called the Ultra Per4fmer. Too bad it's no longer usable in today's games as it has such good motors I remember it ripping the wheel from my hands in NFS Most Wanted.
I am in the market for a Racing Setup. This video made it clear to me that I shouldn't skimp on it. Gonna check with Josh Walrath from PCPer to see what he recommends before I plunk down my money.
Nice video tho. I always appreciate the humor and fun you inject into your videos. Keep up the good work and have a joyous Holiday Season.
To be fair. This was my experience at the Sceptre booth at LTX as well. The steering wheels are tough to get used to
Die Majestic Stoel :) hahaha, dis die 2de video wat ek sover kyk, en jy's great. Keep it up man!
Probably my favorite tech TH-camr. I'm not into racing sims, I just stopped by to give a like and let the video play through while I game.
I'm sitting at work on break... And can't stop laughing uncontrollably while watching this... This is the most entertaining "review" EVER! Lol
I'm fairly certain those unknown metal bits were support parts that just didn't get installed because the directions didn't mention them.
I was thinking they were for beating the tar out of the wheel when you realize how crap it is, lol..
Those metal things is probably for mounting the pedals
amazeballs, but not enough zip ties. I also love that the PS3/PS2/PC steering wheel was in PlayStation blue and the box looked like a xbox 360 accessory.
Me on Amazon: "This stuff is obviously garbage, who is buying this?"
Dawid: "Oooh baby, come to papa."
This was a funny video. One point of notice: you should use the wheel stand the other way around. So the wheel is closer then the pedals.
🤔Might want to check that.
If the Pedals are up against the Crossbar that the base of the Steering is mounted, no matter which direction the stand floor frame is the distance will be the same because it is how far the steering mount pole can telescope that determines the difference in distance.
@@shaneeslick you want the pedals further away. Not so close. Of you switch the stand around. Your legs will be in a more natural position.
You should go to the very next level with a metal stand that has a chair wheel tray on the front like the GT Omega classic and some basic force feedback like a thrustmaster T248. It wouldn’t be THAT much more expensive and I bet it would be a million percent better.
100%. That class of sim wheels are great. I had the g920 a while back and it was solid and only paid £130 for it att lmao
It came with a shifter too
I have the T248 and it's not a bad wheel. Great for a noob like myself and I have it attached to a Playseat EVO Alcantara rig which is pretty basic but gets the job done. Mind you, if I was to go for a direct drive wheel, I'd have to invest in a better rig as the dd would probably cause the same issues as Dawid's wheel does to his rig.
thrustmaster t150 alone costs more then this setup. and thats the basic one with force feedback.
@@BarkerVancity buy cheap buy multiple time lmao
I was waiting for a patented Dawid dirty spit joke regarding the suckers. Since we didn’t get one, I question if he got the suckers wet at all. Might be why they weren’t sticking very well.
I had a similar but more professional stand, for flight sim controllers, but effectively the same thing. It came with an instruction manual and those metal strips - they are for attaching pedals. They clamp around the bars of the stand and have holes which should match up with the mounting points of popular pedals.
Please do a mid tier version too?
now i want to see dawid do this but with a flight sim set up!
Yes, please do a flight sim setup.
I'm still rocking a 20 year-old Logitech Momo Wheel that I bought for nothing. It has this modern feature called USB, still works in modern Windows and most racing games. It is very well built and it gives a satisfactory experience.
good to see you and linus still kicking the rocks like kids, keep up the good work!
LTT is a greedy joke
This was excruciatingly beautiful.
This video is well timed. I just had a moza r9 delivered a few weeks ago and I have an asr3 aluminum profile rig coming in a week or so. I feel like I wasted 1500 dollars because this is clearly the superior setup. 😢
"I feel like I wasted 1500 dollars because this is clearly the superior setup."
and this kids, is called : flexing
@@encelade8616 1500 CAD is not a lot in the world of sim racing. This is firmly mid-range equipment. I've seen a single pedal cost twice as much as everything I have.
@@encelade8616this is called naming the price of a moza r9 plus a frame- something around 1000 to 1200 usd
@@encelade8616 This, kids, is called crying and seething because people can afford nice things.
I picked up a Logitech G920 and shifter this past summer and I love it. I did spend a bit on a frame with mounts for everything, then took apart an old office chair to mount on the seat base. It's fun and comfortable. It does take some Calibration and getting used to.
13:17 you can use software like antimicro to reduce the deadzone, it will mean that your wheel inputs will now be normal WASD inputs, but I'm pretty confident that the wheel is doing that anyway.
Its crazy how every time I'm thinking about doing something, Dawid makes a video about it
The whole time I was thinking I would have this whole setup mummified in duct tape if I was trying to use it. AND HE DID! Love it.
I knew the duct tape would come out! Only way to fix such a crappy product 😂
@@volvo09 also I didn't look at the thumbnail😉
I don't feel too bad about my driving setup now. Thanks Dawid!
Awesomesauce video Dawid!!! Oh I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Thank you so MUCH!!!!
That was very entertaining at least! I do feel your pain, seeing you duct tape the thing to the mounting mechnaism :)
Love every video you make man, the sarcasm gets me every time
...AlgoRhythm is a dancer...
As a nearly 25 year simracer with two setups in my livingroom, i have to agree "this is the world's best and good looking SimRig setup" i've ever seen !
I would like to see you in a real rig soon; ACC is fine for me to see your near death expiriences to get a "good" round.
As always, best content in a very hilarios way ! Ahum hilarios content in the best way i should write. And i learned some things.
Das Klebeband hat mich gekillt...
And you all have a very good one too...
Pls do a video on some sim racing!! I'd like to see your first experience or one of the first experiences at true sim racing, it is quite fun
I haven't laughed that hard in a while. The fumbling pre tape was hilarious 😂 😂
That vid had me in stitches thank you really made my day ❤
One of your most entertaining videos yet. Good Job!
You are awesome, love your videos, dont really watch them for the tech but for your reactions.
Loving Dawids gaffa tape skills!
Finally the perfect channel for me; both a car and pc enthousiast
I love the use of structural duct tape, reminds me of the shelf I built in college.
Dahvid, please please PLEASE upload more often.
Thank you
I do sim drifting and I gotta say, I would love to see Dawid get a proper setup to see how he really does on these sim games, those were some good reactions on Dirt Rally😮
peak gaming moment at 10:00 hahah, great video
As soon as Dawid busted out the duct tape, I knew it was going to be a banger video.
When he was just holding it in mid air still steering I absolutely lost it. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
8:15 Buys a steering wheel and proceeds to drive in third person...
I actually found a decent PS3 era Logitech wheel (Gran Turismo branded) at Goodwill. It is a little old now but it has force feedback and good build quality. It wouldn't work with PS4 so it ended up in the closet and I forgot about it. I wonder if it will work with my PC ? I hear Logitech supports their older wheels and that they still work well on PC. I should test it out on WRC.
The green 360 stripe branding on the box really makes it look fresh
If you bolted the two odd pieces of metal you had left over to the frame, you could duxk tape thr stool to it, and your weight would stop it moving around, but great fun love the vidios!
I bought a steering wheel and pedal setup similar for the original Playstation back in the day (1998-1999.) What a PITA that thing was to use but all I really cared about was being about to modulate the throttle in Gran Turismo.
i had a similar wheel from my childhood cheap knock-off "plei estation" (as read in spanish), I opened up the wheel... these are "digital", effectively there are only one switch for every extreme of the zones.. only can tell if all left or right... a nightmare indeed
got my logitech g27 for 150 and made my old stand from 2 old chairs, worked fine for 2 and a half times i used it, because i simply couldn't be bothered and went back to a controller, you get fatigued pretty quickly and it's always in a way unless you have like dedicated room for it
Good to see that the wheel had Mercedes F1's DAS System included!
Hi Dawid! Great video as always! what watch are you wearing?
1) You should have calibrated the wheel inside the WIndows first. It's a really hidden option but it's necessary for proper use of these basic wheels. Remember using my good ol' Wingman Formula and it basically had to be recalibrated before every use. Then it served well.
2) Using the chase camera with a steering wheel is very unnatural and no wonder you didn't drive well. You should have tried hood or interior camera.
Fun video though.
Dawid: "I added my majestic stool which rounds out the crappiness"... I see what you did there.
Honestly if you're a casual and want a great system to start, go for the Thrustmaster T300RS GT with a Next Level Racing F-GT Lite & spend a bit more on the Wheel Attachment like the Ferrari SF1000 F1 Wheel or a Sparco style if rallying. Best £1000 I ever spent and it can all just fold up easily afterwards so it doesn't just take up a tonne of space forever but still be rocksolid, fully customizable to be either full F1 mode or GT mode and pretty comfortable for long sessions. Gotta say I love the fact it has much leg space! Will never buy another playseat because of that stupid damn bar that is in the middle that holds the wheel. Also the SF1000 is an absolute must! IMHO this is the best price/performance out there and can always have addons along the line if you wanna upgrade pedals, brake levelrs and gear shifter (which I also got too)... Happy Simracing 😉👍🏻
Your clever use of duct tape is majestic!
This video is amazing Dawid, i was not expecting to laugh so much. Thanks man XD
G'day Dawid,
I got my Logitech Momo wheel set off Ebay for $0.99AUD😂, it was even local so no shipping. I use it for ETS2, it was very easy to set up using the ETS2 Options & it works great with very linear steering input. I would like to upgrade to a G923 though, but down here for the full set with H Gear Shifter they are about $650AUD 😭 & not much cheaper used.
I had on eof those screw- to- the- desk- wheels in my youth but quickly returned to keyboard tapping ever since :) New sim rigs are expensive and new racing games never seem to get the feelling and force- feedback right from the getgo. My dream would be a Frontcut form a real car with a giant monitor or beamer behind the windscreen :)
Soooo good...love the Red Green duct tape mod 😅
I was about to press order on this exact setup but thanks to dawid i can spend my money on some sata to m.2 adapters instead of
I have that tiny 8bitdo controller that replaces sticks with d-pads. Straight 100% left and 100% right sounds about right. It you have total control the those inputs happen.
I used that famous Logitech steering wheel with a tv tray... yeah, not good. getting a pro stand soon. just have to clean up the room, even though the one I'm getting supposedly folds down, which is cool.
That wheel and pedal set look identical to a Christmas gift I got about 20 years ago that I remember never actually worked on my Playstation 1 haha
You know it's a belter of a video when Dawid brings out the duct tape haha!
Would love to see you build a proper setup!
The involuntary shaking of the steeringwheel trying to correct the car is the realistic force feedback that is built into it. They have put years of R&D into the technology before they released it to the public.
10:40, once I broke the clamping mechanism on my t150 minutes before a league race and did the exact same thing
I feel it 😅
Used the "drift o.z." before buying the G29. 😅
Deadzone is a compliment. Dead would be more correct 🤣.
Great video!
pleasantly surprised by Dawid's references, notably Kimi Raikkonen lol. I was unfamiliar with your game
Of all the videos of ginger-bearded Canadians testing racing wheel setups I've watched this week, this one is definitely in the top two.
The duct tap job made me spit my coffee out.
Damn those sick saves
I think this is the best video iv seen so far.....had me in Tears 😂😂😂
"Why doesn't he just duct ta...... oh he did." Never change Dawid.
The best and most stable setup you can get on the cheap is probably what I did: A used Logitech G920 wheel, or even the older generations, they're still fine, get a seat from a scrap car at the scrapyard, and then just build the frame from some wood. :P I use a VR headset as well, so I don't even have to think about a monitor stand or speaker holders.
8:44 HAHAHHAHA The movement!!
Wow, i didnt think dawid doesnt know ho wto tighten a clamp! The Stand is probably quite ok if he'd know how to set it up correctly, i have a similar one, had it for 5 years now and its holding up.
watching you race made me want to try
