Just ordered one for my husband, also bought him a sim rig and a gaming monitor. Now I’ll never see him 😂. We’ve been together for 33 years and this will help us to get through another 33….
Hi guys, just wanted to update you… my husband’s sim rig is complete now, the Fanatec wheel was delivered and he’s in heaven. He pre-ordered the new Gran Turismo game which comes out March 4th. He’s been a gamer for many years and I wasn’t a fan in the beginning but I learned to accept what he loves. Wish you the best in getting what makes you happy too!
This is really sweet, because my wife had the same outlook then and now. And I have to say I feel like a very lucky man that she chose NOT to divorce me after I brought a sim rig into our small one bedroom apartment ;) Wish you and your husband all the best. It’s important to find ways of being happy, and you giving him that understanding probably means a lot more to him than he might let on. Thank you on his behalf for being so cool :) it’s very rare to find a special lady that accepts your expensive hobbies :P
I'm 70, my wife 68. We own wheel/pedal sets and never use them. I am in a wheelchair,ad cannot use pedals correctly,and we both prefer hand controllers. Our local league is called The Pebble Pushers for a reason. We spent a lot of time agricultural racing. Years past I had fun on Grand Prix Legends, and I was a beta tester for Sierra.
@Noah Roth With a team called PebblePushers, it should be obvious that anytime someone goes for an off track jaunt, in real racing its called Agricultural racing. Usually ends up in a yard sale.🤣
@@Gigglezzz I was just looking at it and saw just that. We have 80 wheel'\/pedal that allows just that.Shifter paddles as throttle/brk. Our room here is somewhat tight, and lends itself well to hand controllers. I just wish all the game writers would take the last step to motion sensor. Or, at least put a notification on the box and description.
Yes, I will probably be alternating between wheel and controller to feel the adaptive triggers. Could be mistaken, but I assumed that the CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit would be like adaptive trigger feedback but on the pedal. I am looking to purchase the load cell kit once I get all my gear.
@@viczvapo a loadcell isn't like the adaptive triggers, I tried the adaptive triggers with Dirt 5 and Wreckfest and IMO it doesn't add much, especially if you're already pulling pretty hard on the triggers anyway.
FINALLY, someone came forward to point out how Fanatec cut some corners with the steering wheel. Every other TH-camr/influencer saying the wheel is magnific, has all the buttons they need, but failing to acknowledge that it's too plasticky, same as the Thrustmaster offerings. Don't get me wrong, I think the CSL DD is the best thing that happened to the market for a long time, but what really annoys me is that there's much goodwill towards Fanatec from some bigger TH-camrs, where they can just skip criticizing Fanatec products or downplay flaws just because they love (!?) the brand. Sorry for the rant, and good review on the product. I hope for it to be a huge success and other brands rise their games.
I dont think fanatec had a choice. This wheel looks and feels like a playstation controller because it was designed by Polyphony and Sony, not by fanatec.
@N K I see your point, but don't they have a say in the materials used? After all it's a Fanatec product at the end of the day. And to be fair, I'm not saying the wheel is trash, haven't used it to say anything like this. Just vented about how this is an important aspect about the product that I feel needed to be better addressed by other people reviewing it.
@@thiagoods021 That's the thing, I'm not even sure if Fanatec made the wheel either. The materials are so unlike their other wheels. You would expect the materials to be similar to their cheapest wheel (CSL BMW wheel which was sold as fanatec branded on black friday for $99). But it's so vastly different. Also the paddles are very different from their other wheels as well. Almost like it's made in an entirely different plant. Perhaps this was a money grab opportunity by Polyphony and Sony to provide the wheels and make them super cheap to pad their margins. I bought the GT DD PRO, i'll simply wait for the next black friday 2022 to get the $99 wheel and wait for the QR2 to come out to get that as well.
@@thiagoods021 They certainly collaborated on the wheel, but I think Fanatec was just trying to wrestle the contract away from Thrustmaster, so they're probably bending over backwards to make the deal enticing to Sony.
I bought this wheel. I also ordered the clubsport v3 inverted pedals. Waiting on new Sim rig to use the pedals. As for the wheel. I think it is great. I have been using the csl pedals. No load cell. I had the g29. So far the difference is huge. The wheel isn't as cheap feeling as it looks in the pictures. If you're using the Logitech g29, or comparable I believe you won't be disappointed.
Glad to hear the CSL pedals are a step up from the Logitech ones. I honestly quite like my G920 except for the brake pedal. I just feel like the two stages are too distinct and it's hard to brake at all gradually/trail break. I'm tempted to get this setup and use a drive hub (while I save up for an Xbox wheel), but was worried I'd have to get the load cell for any pedal improvement. I could also just get the drive hub and use my g920 on ps4, but this setup looks really good.
You’re right. The base 700€ pack is misleading, for a full experience you need the booster kit and the third pedal. Add the shipping costs and you are over 1K. For half money I found an used like new tgt2, and I assure you that it is much more than I need in terms of ffb and ‘drive feelings’. But if you are a sim racer and you have a lot of money to spend, you’ll probably should to choose fanatec instead of the thrustmaster. Most people affirm that thrustmaster is rubbish (especially the tgt) without having tried it!
I have the t300rs with the Ferrari 30cm wheel. I'm wish they made it at that size not 28cm. As good as t300 are a DD wheel is far superior in feel. Plus if you turn the force feedback up on the t300 the motors casing cracks. I'm on my 2nd t300 because of that problem.
At the moment I have a thrustmaster T300 RS along with one of the old ferrari style F1 wheels but I am looking at getting a Fanatec. Is there enough difference to warrant it and also I quite fancied the McLaren GT3 wheel but it says it is not compatible with a PS5. Do you or anyone else know any different ?? IE: does it work. Thanks
I ordered the DD Pro yesterday. Was going to get a CSL elite. But unfortunately they don’t make anymore. I do wish the wheel was made better. Not have leather wrap is a bummer.
8:17 Actually, for PlayStation compatibility, ALL wheels will be compatible! This is because the PS security chip that makes peripherals PS compatible lives inside the wheel base, not the wheels themselves, as is the case for the XBOX security chip. That means that if you have the GT DD Pro, any wheel, even one made exclusively for Xbox, will be MADE compatible the moment you put it on a wheel base that has a PS security chip in it, such as the GT DD Pro. And, it will work seamlessly with Xbox, but only if you have an Xbox wheel attached to it.
I dont know man i find the title a bit strange, GT7 is not ouit yet so why do you tell us that we NEED a piece of hardware for a game thats not out yet and where no one has any idea whatsoever how it will feel driving with this wheel?
That base plus a Clubsport V2 Xbox work great on GT7 (PS5) and F7 (XBSX) in case anyone was looking to put together a kit that works cross platform with a much better quality rim.
Waiting on just the DD Pro base to be available as I own Xbox/PS5 and PC so I'd like to have a compatible base with a different wheel. Guess just have to play the waiting game until DD Pro is available on it's own. Other option is to just get the DD PRO GT version and get a wheel later on but not sure how I feel about spending more $$$
Have you tried this with a foldable seat (Playseat Challenge or Next Level Racing)? Also what shifters is it compatible with? I currently have a G29 wheel and pedal and use Logitech’s shifter for classic cars in AC on PS4. Wouldn’t want to lose that ability if I upgrade to this?
i need a video of some body taken apart the steering wheel it self to look at the electronic boards ive seen the steering magnetic box taken apart....that the wheel mount into
Whats the best option for multi platform? I have Xbox, PS5 and PC. and would like something i can use on all. don't mind buying extra parts to switch from one to another system if thats what i have to do? thanks
Ordered mine about a month ago...pretty excited to get it...its a little bitter sweet as I won't be using is for gran tourismo 7 after the egregious micro-transactions that have been added and the fact that the game to be played you must always be online. I'm sure asseto corsa will do just fine.
Bro, my Thrustmaster T150 pro base stopped working suddenly after being used for 4 years continuously, now i am planning to upgrade, as there are no direct drive wheels available in India. My only option is Thrustmaster TS-XW. Or should I go for the cheaper option Thrustmaster t248 as Thrustmaster officially does not have a service center in India
Hello! I want to upgrade from my Logitech G27 but i have no idea if its better to buy a CSL DD or this Gt DD Pro? I will play on pc what i like with the DD Pro is that its a complete set. I would also like a wheel that is possible to play some rally and f1 games if there is any good wheels for that. I would love some good tips of what to buy.
Ordered the ( three pedal ) full kit option and a shifter. The Omega GT rig just arrived, and I'm now sat drumming my fingers on the desk awaiting the Fanatec order and GT7 .
I plan to get back in to racing games. I used to do it back on a logitech g25, though it has collected a lot of dust over the last few years, lol. Decided to pre-order this for the March release.
Would love to order one. Only problem is my grand tourismo is bricked from the last update. Can’t do any races except music Rally. They really screwed this launch.
Hello! So for under £100 you will struggle to get a new wheel which gives you the information you need to get the most out of it. I would highly reccomend looking at second hand logitechs, either a G27 or a G29 if you can get one for that price, or even a second hand Thrustmaster T150. These wheels will be a far better experience for the money, but you would have to be comfortable with taking a chance on a used product. Best of luck!
Over £1000+ If you are ordering from the UK, you have to pay the VAT on top of the €895 top bundle price AND you have to pay customs duty on it. Until Fanatec offer standard UK distribution it's just not worth it, unless £1200 is small change to you of course.
Just for your info, this isn't entirely correct. I was looking at the base model which is €700 plus postage on top, so another €20. When I added it to the basket the website reduces the price at checkout by 20%. That money is then paid to the courier in the form of VAT so you do end up paying the advertised price or close to it.
@@Johnnyjawbone When you look at the price on each item it actually says Including VAT but + shipping costs. When you add that item to your basket and go to actually pay, the previous total has now been reduced.......This is because you now pay the VAT to the courier rather than them, so THEY take the VAT off at point of sale.
I already have a DD1 podium. My son has a CSL DD and he don't like it after using my DD1 rig. We just couldn't get the detail out of it, his now packed it up for resale and saving for a DD1 PODIUM
Sadly not, even an entry level force feedback wheel will need to be mounted to something, whether that's a desk or a rig. I wouldn't want to know the consequences of using a DD Pro on your lap... 👀
Thank you for this great and honest review. I am going to get the steering wheel without a doubt. I’m just wondering what rig/wheel stand you are using there? 🤔
You seem to know a lot about these wheels. Are the there any steering wheels that have the accelerate and brakes on the wheel, so I could use it without my feet, as I’m disabled and can’t move my feet quick enough?
Hi Tim, John here. Personally I am not sure what the best solution is... I do know that if you have the fanatec Mclaren GT3 rim you can assign the extra clutch paddles as accelerator and brake, but im sure there are far more optimised setups depending on your disability. If you send me a direct message on Facebook or Twitter (@JohnMunroRacing), I will see if I can get you in touch with somone who knows more!
Oh I'd love one, but with how much I race at home compared to work, it'd be a €700 drop which wouldn't get used all that much. That's what I meant! 😅 I have access to it in the office, so it'll do me fine during work hours 😉
My last gaming console was in the 90’s, now with a son I just got the PS5. I’m amazed how much the gaming industry has changed. Would the Logitech G923 and Thrustmaster T248 be considered one step down from the DD Pro??
@@simptrix007 At least from what I've seen I think the Fanatec might be just as easy to sell as they are rarely ever available used whether on eBay or Facebook marketplace and they always sell very quickly.
How are you supposed to spend £600+ on a steering wheel and pedal set when they want you to spend all of your money on microtransactions for game credits?
I've always been a console controller player. I've always done well but can see there's room for improvement. I'm thinking about getting this. The real question is, will I see my lap times reduce with this set up? Can anyone help me out. Thanks
There's no guarantee that your times will improve, if it's your first wheel then you will have a period of time where you have to adapt to using it. Practise will bring your pace up. One thing that can be guaranteed is that you will feel more immersed which for most people, significantly increases the enjoyment you get out of racing games.
There's some obvious latency between you turning the wheel and what's happening in game. Is your display set to game mode? Latency looks worse than my G29
The TV used for our B Roll is a large Philips panel, with larger latency than we'd like (and the game mode in particular is buggy). When coupled with our ultrafast gaming monitors, this was not present.
I just bought the thrustmast TGT-II. Would you say this is better? I paid $800 for the thrustmaster so if this is better, I can return the TGT2 and get this instead
I would prefer if it had a usb3 plug so I could plug it in the back of the ps5,looks cleaner.There could be a converter or maybe it needs the extra speed not sure.
@@TraxionGG I need one with a seat included. Thanks to your mention I looked up that manufacturer and it seems the "GTLITE" would fit my needs. Have you tried that?
I'm going to wait for thrustmaster to bring out a direct drive just after New year hopefully so I'd recommend to wait for gran turismo to come out before you buy fenatc
and very expensive and not make such hasty decisions because fanatec knows that thrustmaster is coming out with a direct drive shortly it's good advice to wait and see be patient@Sideways Singh
I'm just waiting for them to release it standalone so i can get the wheel I want with it. I would get the CSL DD already but I know that when GT7 releases I would be annoyed because i couldnt play it
That's great news to my ears about Xbox compatibility with a wheel swap. I was already about sold on the DD Pro, now its a no brainer. Does anyone know of any other XBOX wheels that'll definitely work, other than the $200 McLaren?
I’m getting GT7 and I’m search of a whole setup. I got my rig coming and now I’m deciding what wheel and shifter to get. I’m overwhelmed by so many choices but don’t know which one to pick. If someone can help me out that would be great! Thanks!!!!
You need an Xbox compatible Fanatec steering wheel, but yes it will work if you have one. In Fanatec’s setups, the console compatibility electronics are always in the wheel itself. It makes the wheels more expensive, but it also makes it so you can use the base and pedals with whatever setup you want.
@@gabounegamer6135 damn lol thats a lot. I’ll wait till simulation1 gets it and see what their price in cad will be but I feel it might be around the same.
same with everything unfortunately. i bought a simple clean out connect for my plumping at home. had to pay extra to get the cap! the cap IS THE CLEAN OUT.
Ordered the express bundle Monday, receiving it today if all goes well! I'm soooo excited, that I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!!!
It works exactly the same, because it's exactly the same wheelbase. They share the same firmware, it can't get any closer. The only thing you don't have on the CSL DD is the ps compatibility (that's why this one is 50 €/$ more expensive (to pay Sony's fee basically.
@@michaelmackenzie9589 yes they are. They announced it as part of the launch event and on twitter. Supply issues though are still a huge thing so I don't see the standalone version being available for some time.
I am on the pre-order list, and cannot find out if PS membership is required to run the game via the PS4 "entitltments". Try to lock us into a payment plan,and we bolt !
@@ZappBrannigan88 my question regards the entitlement portion for PS4 in GT7-After a coupla days playing online, we don't think that portion is our bag.
@@Sithhy I was thinking this. Seems like they seem the competition an had to bring something out quick. Might just wait till these are readily available and il be set up by then
Awwwww... Heck no!!! I'll stick with my Gran Turismo Logitech G29 with my 3pedal clutch & manual attachment. Knowing it's compatible with my ps5. Works great!!!
The g29 is great but the csl dd gt is literally a complete upgrade don't get me wrong im going to keep using my g29 but eventually upgrade to the fanatec eco system since it's compatible with both playstation and xbox on a single wheelbase
Just ordered one for my husband, also bought him a sim rig and a gaming monitor. Now I’ll never see him 😂. We’ve been together for 33 years and this will help us to get through another 33….

Nooooooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂

That base plus a Clubsport V2 Xbox work great on GT7 (PS5) and F7 (XBSX) in case anyone was looking to put together a kit that works cross platform with a much better quality rim.
Solid review and production. Subbed.
Thank you, happy to have you onboard :)
If your desk doesn't go down enough, can you mount it with the wheel under the desk at the correct angle instead of on top?
I always find it hard to take someone who wears a woolly hat indoors seriously, but there is some very useful information in this review.
How come my gt7 on ps5 wont read my dd fanatec, he reads it for the fanatec csl elite, so half of my buttons dont work 😖😭
What is the best VR Wheel Stand that is compatible with Vive Pro?
Waiting on just the DD Pro base to be available as I own Xbox/PS5 and PC so I'd like to have a compatible base with a different wheel. Guess just have to play the waiting game until DD Pro is available on it's own.

What kind of mount/cockpit is that? Looking for something compatible with the DD pro out the box
It’s the Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0, and we think it’s great! 😊
So is the premium csl dd gt pro compatible with the ps platform?
Ordered the ( three pedal ) full kit option and a shifter. The Omega GT rig just arrived, and I'm now sat drumming my fingers on the desk awaiting the Fanatec order and GT7 .
can you please tell me where i can select 3 pedal option? I want a clutch pedal on my setup. thanks!
Can you use the pedals on a wooden floor? Do they have rubber grips for that, or do I need to get a Rig first?
They do have rubber grips, so they'll be okay on the floor. However, they're definitely more suited to being mounted on something.

Does this work for farming simulator or lawn mowing sim game too?
Will it have VR support?
So you can use this wheel for xbox series x so long as you get an xbox wheel?
Where do you purchase this?

Where do you get it?
can you get the pedals closer together?
They're adjustable. You can move the pedals around.
I have the thrust master tgt. It’s great. Is this wheel so much better than that?
Yes. It is a lot better than the TGT. The TGT is still a very good wheelbase however.
The lag between the wheel input and the on-screen wheel is something I just can't get over. Playing bumper cam is a bit better.
Playing from another cam is not a solution for lag problem, you just can't see it
Anybody know a good wheel for under or around £100.
I’m new and don’t wanna jump in buying a top of the range wheel.
Hello! So for under £100 you will struggle to get a new wheel which gives you the information you need to get the most out of it. I would highly reccomend looking at second hand logitechs, either a G27 or a G29 if you can get one for that price, or even a second hand Thrustmaster T150. These wheels will be a far better experience for the money, but you would have to be comfortable with taking a chance on a used product. Best of luck!
@@TraxionGG Thank you.
Over £1000+ If you are ordering from the UK, you have to pay the VAT on top of the €895 top bundle price AND you have to pay customs duty on it.
Until Fanatec offer standard UK distribution it's just not worth it, unless £1200 is small change to you of course.
Just for your info, this isn't entirely correct. I was looking at the base model which is €700 plus postage on top, so another €20.
When I added it to the basket the website reduces the price at checkout by 20%. That money is then paid to the courier in the form of VAT so you do end up paying the advertised price or close to it.
@@MW_1981No. They clearly state that UK buyers need to pay VAT and customs duty, on top of the total price. They do not include VAT in their pricing.
@@Johnnyjawbone When you look at the price on each item it actually says Including VAT but + shipping costs.
When you add that item to your basket and go to actually pay, the previous total has now been reduced.......This is because you now pay the VAT to the courier rather than them, so THEY take the VAT off at point of sale.
@@MW_1981 And the customs duty? Add that on top of a £800 wheel.
@@Johnnyjawbone Yes you will have to pay the 2.5% customs fee, but that's not a huge some of money is it.
Where is the under 250 option?
I already have a DD1 podium. My son has a CSL DD and he don't like it after using my DD1 rig. We just couldn't get the detail out of it, his now packed it up for resale and saving for a DD1 PODIUM
Never bought a racing wheel. How do you guys set it up? Is it able to be played sitting on your lap?
Sadly not, even an entry level force feedback wheel will need to be mounted to something, whether that's a desk or a rig. I wouldn't want to know the consequences of using a DD Pro on your lap... 👀
@@TraxionGG alright thanks
Will GT7 incorporate load cell breaking?
Thank you for this great and honest review. I am going to get the steering wheel without a doubt. I’m just wondering what rig/wheel stand you are using there? 🤔
That is the Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0! We have a review for that too! 👀 traxion.gg/next-level-racing-wheel-stand-2-0-review/
You seem to know a lot about these wheels. Are the there any steering wheels that have the accelerate and brakes on the wheel, so I could use it without my feet, as I’m disabled and can’t move my feet quick enough?
Hi Tim, John here. Personally I am not sure what the best solution is... I do know that if you have the fanatec Mclaren GT3 rim you can assign the extra clutch paddles as accelerator and brake, but im sure there are far more optimised setups depending on your disability. If you send me a direct message on Facebook or Twitter (@JohnMunroRacing), I will see if I can get you in touch with somone who knows more!
To add to that, take a look at this!: th-cam.com/video/PQRBbYZ9XN8/w-d-xo.html
Ending was bizarre. Can’t justify getting one but you want one that’s how good it is. 🤯
Oh I'd love one, but with how much I race at home compared to work, it'd be a €700 drop which wouldn't get used all that much. That's what I meant! 😅 I have access to it in the office, so it'll do me fine during work hours 😉
is this compatible with VR?
Does this work on PC?
My last gaming console was in the 90’s, now with a son I just got the PS5. I’m amazed how much the gaming industry has changed. Would the Logitech G923 and Thrustmaster T248 be considered one step down from the DD Pro??
Probably a couple steps down
What do you recommend that is in between prices? Thanks
After watching many reviews you get what you pay for with both G923 and Fanatec. If you get bored its always easier to sell G923 than Fanatec.
@@simptrix007 At least from what I've seen I think the Fanatec might be just as easy to sell as they are rarely ever available used whether on eBay or Facebook marketplace and they always sell very quickly.
What would be between the G923 and DD Pro for PS5?
My current setup has a clutch pedal. and I want to have one.
Does anyone know what the best option to add a clutch / 3rd pedal is?
Yeah get the DD Pro Premium Bundle
@@ZappBrannigan88 cool thanks! I see now. & if money is not too huge of an issue right now would you recommend the CSL pedal tuning kit?
@@hrl2k sorry mate I haven't bought this yet, just looking into it myself now.
@@hrl2k Buy the cheapest bundle, the V3 pedals, and sell the cheap ass pedals that come with it. If money isn't an issue.
Where do I get one they are sold out bro
Will likely just have to wait for more stock sadly!
How are you supposed to spend £600+ on a steering wheel and pedal set when they want you to spend all of your money on microtransactions for game credits?
Damn that looks so cool, yes i NEED one but can't afford one.
Is this the best wheel on the market for ps5?
I've always been a console controller player. I've always done well but can see there's room for improvement. I'm thinking about getting this. The real question is, will I see my lap times reduce with this set up? Can anyone help me out. Thanks
There's no guarantee that your times will improve, if it's your first wheel then you will have a period of time where you have to adapt to using it. Practise will bring your pace up.
One thing that can be guaranteed is that you will feel more immersed which for most people, significantly increases the enjoyment you get out of racing games.
@TraxionGG Thanks Traxion. You've just saved me a good £700. If it won't make me quicker I'm not interested.
There's some obvious latency between you turning the wheel and what's happening in game. Is your display set to game mode? Latency looks worse than my G29
The TV used for our B Roll is a large Philips panel, with larger latency than we'd like (and the game mode in particular is buggy). When coupled with our ultrafast gaming monitors, this was not present.
@@TraxionGG Thanks! I did not suspect it was the wheel, btw. Just pointing it out.
I just bought the thrustmast TGT-II. Would you say this is better? I paid $800 for the thrustmaster so if this is better, I can return the TGT2 and get this instead
Just did exactly this. Returned the tgt2 for the dd pro.
I would prefer if it had a usb3 plug so I could plug it in the back of the ps5,looks cleaner.There could be a converter or maybe it needs the extra speed not sure.
Those adapters are readily available. You should be fine to use an USB-C to A adapter as the ports on the PS5 are all 10gb/s.
My exact thought as i will be using the vr2 in gt7 and that uses usb c. Feel like the ps5 should have had 2 usb c ports
Got some recommendations for a very foldable playseat/base all in one thingy? Saving space over saving money you could say :-D
We reviewed this on the Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 and we absolutely love it!
@@TraxionGG I need one with a seat included. Thanks to your mention I looked up that manufacturer and it seems the "GTLITE" would fit my needs. Have you tried that?
I'm going to wait for thrustmaster to bring out a direct drive just after New year hopefully so I'd recommend to wait for gran turismo to come out before you buy fenatc
and very expensive and not make such hasty decisions because fanatec knows that thrustmaster is coming out with a direct drive shortly it's good advice to wait and see be patient@Sideways Singh
@@ASBlondontravel we've been waiting for thrustmaster to release a DD wheel for years, stop dreaming and order the GT DD Pro.
@@ASBlondontravel lol TM isnt releasing a DD wheel for a while
I'm just waiting for them to release it standalone so i can get the wheel I want with it. I would get the CSL DD already but I know that when GT7 releases I would be annoyed because i couldnt play it
I have this set. It's bonkers good in GT however on PC it has some compatibility issues with Forza Horizon games
That's great news to my ears about Xbox compatibility with a wheel swap. I was already about sold on the DD Pro, now its a no brainer.
Does anyone know of any other XBOX wheels that'll definitely work, other than the $200 McLaren?
I’m getting GT7 and I’m search of a whole setup. I got my rig coming and now I’m deciding what wheel and shifter to get. I’m overwhelmed by so many choices but don’t know which one to pick. If someone can help me out that would be great! Thanks!!!!
You could always start with a G29 and make sure it's something you use a lot before dropping another $700-900.
@@saintsalieri dd pro got me sold lol. It’s coming tomorrow!!!
Without the clutch???
Did you say it works with xbox as well? No glitches???
You need an Xbox compatible Fanatec steering wheel, but yes it will work if you have one. In Fanatec’s setups, the console compatibility electronics are always in the wheel itself. It makes the wheels more expensive, but it also makes it so you can use the base and pedals with whatever setup you want.
@@quattroCrazy the Xbox DRM is on the wheel, the ps DRM chip is on the wheelbase.
Mine is about to ship 😍 I’m in Canada so maybe I’ll get it by February 🤣
@Sideways Singh Took the express version as I’m not good at waiting.
How much did it come out to in cad? I’m in Canada as well. ( Ontario)
@@Mike-wc3jo Express: 1288 CAD and I’ll have to pay taxes to Canada Post. Expensive but it could’ve been worse.
@@gabounegamer6135 damn lol thats a lot. I’ll wait till simulation1 gets it and see what their price in cad will be but I feel it might be around the same.
@@Mike-wc3jo Probably because you’ll save the extra for Express shipping to get it before March/April.
how much does it cost??
I just don’t understand how all these new wheels cost way more and they don’t come with a clutch pedal and shifter like the prior version.
What prior version?
same with everything unfortunately. i bought a simple clean out connect for my plumping at home. had to pay extra to get the cap! the cap IS THE CLEAN OUT.
I still wish to get Simagic wheel instead.
Would be nice if they were in stock
Is it compatible with PC as well 🤔, ~multi-platform streamer asking 💕
Yes, this works on PC too :)
I want one .. meanwhile I’m getting top 100 regional times on the g29 .. if you don’t have the money don’t stress to hard ..
Ordered the express bundle Monday, receiving it today if all goes well!
I'm soooo excited, that I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!!!
Have fun!
@@TraxionGG Thanks! Will do! 😁
They shoulda put that clutch on that pedal board. Not sure why they didnt.
logitech ceo to their engineers after the g923 aka g25, "fanatec was able to build the csl dd in caaavvveee, with a box of scrapppsssss"
When the CSL DD for Playstation works better on PC than the windows version.. Some who ordered at the beginning may feel a little resentment....
It works exactly the same, because it's exactly the same wheelbase. They share the same firmware, it can't get any closer. The only thing you don't have on the CSL DD is the ps compatibility (that's why this one is 50 €/$ more expensive (to pay Sony's fee basically.
@@Manuel-9- Yeah I can't seem to run anything unless I use the CSW Mode.. Forza Horizon 5 is the worst of the lot....
I just ordered one for my husband, also bought a sim rig and gaming monitor. Now I’ll never see my husband 😂, good for the marriage….
What u mean by that?
We're sorry for your loss 😂
I'll be waiting for the version where you don't have to have that cheap looking wheel as part of the bundle.
Same!
But are they going to do this I was thinking the same but I'm beginning to think it's not going to happen
@@michaelmackenzie9589 yes they are. They announced it as part of the launch event and on twitter. Supply issues though are still a huge thing so I don't see the standalone version being available for some time.
Are you crazy? It costs more than the console.
thankfully fanatec got march shipping preorders sent out early so I received mine before the game
That wheel looks like a Walmart special.
GT7 needs to release ALOT more information, full car list, and full track list before I commit to anything even at half this price.
I am on the pre-order list, and cannot find out if PS membership is required to run the game via the PS4 "entitltments". Try to lock us into a payment plan,and we bolt !
@@markwardwell6110 you'll need PS+ to game online, same as with every other game on the PS ecosystem (excluding F2P games).
@@ZappBrannigan88 my question regards the entitlement portion for PS4 in GT7-After a coupla days playing online, we don't think that portion is our bag.
Cheap ass. Get your bread up
"you're looking at 699" *closes window immediately*
You don’t “need” a £600 steering wheel.
How would you compare this to thrustmasters new hybrid entry?
There is no comparison. If not for the price, this wheel beats the T248 in every aspect
@@Sithhy I was thinking this. Seems like they seem the competition an had to bring something out quick. Might just wait till these are readily available and il be set up by then
so... what is the difference between "Fanatic" and "Fanatec" ?
Awwwww... Heck no!!! I'll stick with my Gran Turismo Logitech G29 with my 3pedal clutch & manual attachment. Knowing it's compatible with my ps5. Works great!!!
Were there any 'hoops' to jump through getting the G29 to work ? or was it just Plug it in and go ?
@@houseofquad2260 just plug in !
The g29 is great but the csl dd gt is literally a complete upgrade don't get me wrong im going to keep using my g29 but eventually upgrade to the fanatec eco system since it's compatible with both playstation and xbox on a single wheelbase
@@Darklord_tK Literally a complete upgrade? Wow, you're seriously stretching to use the word literally. Read a book.
Will that suitable for ps4??
It is compatible with both PS4 and PS5, yes!
