Tried it for the first time... and I am impressed.... The steering wheel is not perfect, but in Gran Turismo 7 it really works well. No kidding, the steering wheel being a bit like in controllers actually helps, the 270° rotation sounds like a shortcoming, but helps to catch cars that swerve with the tail. Really precise steering, great pressure point from the pedals. Although I haven't driven a racing sim for years, let alone with a steering wheel, I could drive really fast, without any driving aids except for a bit of traction control and ABS. Just started without adjusting anything except the steering mode and after three laps with the Porsche 356A in the music rally I got into the 718 Caymen GT4 Gr.4 for the first time in the game (the fasted car I ever tried at this point) at a track I never liked (Brands Hatch) and had a amazing and successful first race with the wheel. After that I tried the Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Concept and even that worked. At Laguna Seca with GT3's I reached my limits, this is really a very difficult track.
Thank you for this great review, I ordered GT7 for PS4.... (at the moment it's still hard to get a PS5) and I now bought the Hori Apex RWA after watching. I think it is the right one for me, to get back into it simcade racing after a few years without a steering wheel.
As a diabetic with bad nerves in feet I really enjoyed the L2 R2 on wheel. Helped me rest my legs after work but yet enjoy some racing. I see they changed that. Bummer
I use this wheel and i will give you a tip on the top of the wheel there are some switches that say ps4 s or ps5 s make sure the switch is flicked to there this makes the wheel soooo much more sensitive this also allows you to use a controller with the wheel plugged in so you can use a headset/microphone enjoy!
I appreciate the review, well done. Not being able to use my G27 on my PS5 is anti-consumer to the point of criminal but I’m clearly not going to get away with a cheap replacement like this. Leaving parts out then sending the wrong manual would be a “do not buy” for me even if it was a good machine. Thanks again and great work👍
bro i know its affordable but is it possible to actually win races with. i need it for GT SPORT. I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD PUT IT ON PS4 OR PS5. it's a ps4 game. what do u think i should do?
Hi there. Steering mode is for games that support wheels and you get full use of all the functions. The other is for games that don’t support wheels. TBH of all the games I’ve used it on ice not had an issue with any, but if the game says “supports wheel” then use steering mode. HTH
I purchased this wheel and could not get it to play “in game” mode . It would only work on the Home Screen. It’s not compatible with my game ??? Tony Stewart’s racing …. Thoughts ???
Hi! I just got mine and it also seemed to be missing the suction cups and the manual. Did you manage to get any suction cups for it and if so where from?
Unfortunately it appears there is no vibration and I am not talking about force feedback. I have tried all settings on GT7 and the PS5 settings and yes I have tried Normal and Steering mode. Any ideas anyone?
I am trying to find out when the wheel is turned, what kind of resistance does it have? If you turn it far left and let go, does it automatically go back to center using a bungee cord type system? The farther you turn the wheel, does the resistance increase? I was thinking about buying this but I can spend up to $200 or $220, are there any good wheels with ffb and pedals? Thank you for the video, it answered a lot of questions i had.
That’s exactly it. A bungee system, there is more resistance but not by much. It springs back when you let go. This is a budget wheel with budget features so if you are after a pro wheel maybe look elsewhere. In the GT7 settings there is a list of officially supported wheels. I’d suggest picking one of them if within budget.
@@CTAtechdesk I had a Microsoft wheel and thats how it worked which isn't as good as a ffb wheel but it works. The only other wheel I owned was another Microsoft wheel but it had ffb. This was 20 years ago and the ffb made it so much better even with a cheap ffb wheel with 20+ old technology. I don't have a PlayStation, I have a PC so I shouldn't have any problems with most wheels working correctly. I'm not looking for a pro wheel they are to expensive. I didn't know if there was anything that you knew of that had ffb and was a decent wheel for under about $220. Thank you for the reply I really appreciate it. New subscriber.
@@CTAtechdesk I forgot to ask, would you recommend the older HORI model that had 2 buttons on the wheel over this one? If there is not any difference, I'd rather have one with the 2 buttons on the wheel .I have a PC so I'm not concerned about it running on the PS5.
Hello! In the hori app it indicates that my steering wheel has an angle of -30°, so I’m always heading left. Do you know how to set it to 0° as a neutral position? Thank you!!!
guys,i would i'm searching for a racing wheel and i would like to buy this but in the amazon page it tells that it doesn't support f124,is it true? please answer
Hi can you please help i got this for my son by the pedals dont work at all this is second one as i thought thr first on was faulty but the second on is doing the same thing,
Hi there. just make sure the 3 sliders on the top of the wheel are in the correct position for the console and game. keep trying different combinations.
I put transmission on Manuel and then I played with my controller and now when I press the back pedals to change gears it changes cámara view and X and square are for gear change helo
What is the difference on Normal mode and Steering mode? Some games which only compatible with Normal mode and not Steering mode, are they played worse or inaccurate with the steering wheels?
I'm not entirely sure I've primarily used it on steering but on the times I had it in normal I've learned that it disables the paddles and makes it basically just an odd controller, but I haven't been able to get it to work on other games using normal.
Is it still worth it?? It doesnt have clutch or shifter so does that bother anyone? I have one in the way for GT7 and PSVR2 release. Anyone think its not good?
Guys please help i got one today pluged in and it doesnt turn on or do anything whats going on? Downlaoded hori device mamager on computer just says please connect your controller
@@CTAtechdesk actually not true, the old version works in GT7 for PlayStation 5 the same as this new revision, after update 1.33 it has two modes (PS4 and PS5) selectable when connected to the console, but even in PS4-S mode it works in GT7 ( of course in the PS5 version) and even the vibrations work then (in PS5 mode there is no vibration).
Hello I recently bought this wheel to get into racing and when I’m racing the pedals on the wheel just go out randomly like my foot is on the pedal and that car just stops accelerating and when I let off it keeps accelerating is this a malfunction in the wheel or am I doing something wrong in the settings
Same here, but mine are the brakes, sometimes have only half brake for no reason, and before I got a replacement(just the pedals), mine even disconnect after tapping brakes. It sure does not last long.
I have PS4. I tried to play NSF heat with this steering. After selecting the game with this steering wheel control, it asked me to press X button to start the game. I pressed the X button in the steering wheel. It did not work. But all the buttons in the steering wheel work. I can power off the PS4 with the steering wheel control, but i could not start NSF heat game.
hi there, I was wondering since I can get the hori apex racing wheel for the exact same price of the pxn v9 racing wheel which would you recommend having to use and reviewed both?
I had the PXN V9 and it would not work with my PS5. it worked for a little bit on pc then somehow just malfunctioned and now doesn’t work anymore. This one is better
For a more in depth look on how to change the settings, please see here : th-cam.com/video/x-d-C4GUj08/w-d-xo.html

Does it have a shifter on the wheel?
Finally! I've been waiting for someone to review this wheel on PS5. Your thoughts makes perfect sense. Thanks a lot! 💯
Would this work on windows 11?

btw ps5 are £399 on Argos right now

Anyone else think they should have made that red strip, blue.
use some blue tape
Or blue Angelus paint
Or the ink out of a pen
Yup.
No
Thank you for making such a comprehensive video on this. Not enough people talk about this racing wheel ❤🏎️🏁
I use this wheel and i will give you a tip on the top of the wheel there are some switches that say ps4 s or ps5 s make sure the switch is flicked to there this makes the wheel soooo much more sensitive this also allows you to use a controller with the wheel plugged in so you can use a headset/microphone enjoy!
I can't do it, it's on ps4 and I already tried it in steering mode and normal
Yeah, can’t use headphones and mic with the damn thing still.
@@DF_Dante get Bluetooth headsets
Got my hands on it today and i have ti say. Its really not bad for this price!
Exactly that. At the price it does the job well. 👍🏻
I appreciate the review, well done.
Not being able to use my G27 on my PS5 is anti-consumer to the point of criminal but I’m clearly not going to get away with a cheap replacement like this.

Thanks again and great work👍
Nice and thanks for making a video, been curious about this!
I was thinking about this thanks man
Looked good for gt7, didn’t look very responsive for hot wheels tho
It’s not too bad when you crank the sensitivity up. Also. I blame my sons gaming skills 😂
Got it from sports-direct today and it was 104.99. About to set it up after this video
I loooooovvvveee mine! It is a badass wheel, and I got it on Amazon for 90 bucks on discount. I play beamng drive with it and it works great
Nice. I have Beam as well. Thanks for that confirmation. I might just go ahead and order this.
@@sharpnatic I definitely recommend! This is a great budget wheel. I would go with the PXN V9 or V10 for a serious setup!
Quick question,I just want to make sure. Can you play Need For Speed Unbound for PS5 with the wheel?
Yes
Great review, wonder this could work properly on GTA V?
Interesting. I will test this
@@CTAtechdesk did it work???
Nice!!
bro i know its affordable but is it possible to actually win races with. i need it for GT SPORT. I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD PUT IT ON PS4 OR PS5. it's a ps4 game. what do u think i should do?
I got mine today May 2023. It is a good budget gaming racing wheel, works good or gt7 PS5.
Great video 👍🏻 have picked one up for my son. what's the purpose of the ps4n / ps4s toggle switch ? when should I change it ?
Hi there. Steering mode is for games that support wheels and you get full use of all the functions. The other is for games that don’t support wheels.

Hello What is the best, cheapest stand for this wheel?
When in the video does it say the price I can’t find it
I purchased this wheel and could not get it to play “in game” mode . It would only work on the Home Screen. It’s not compatible with my game ??? Tony Stewart’s racing …. Thoughts ???
Could you help me by indicating if it has any type of vibration? Please
What happens if my steering wheel is staying lit on the red color? Pls someone answer quickly!!
Why didn’t u return the wheel and get a new one? Thats what we do in Australia when there are missing things in a box
Hi! I just got mine and it also seemed to be missing the suction cups and the manual. Did you manage to get any suction cups for it and if so where from?
I still didn’t get anything apart from a message saying “we’ve removed the words from the listing”
Unfortunately it appears there is no vibration and I am not talking about force feedback. I have tried all settings on GT7 and the PS5 settings and yes I have tried Normal and Steering mode. Any ideas anyone?

Use a controller maybe that would work
What is the difference on Normal mode and Steering mode? Some games which only compatible with Normal mode and not Steering mode, are they played worse or inaccurate with the steering wheels?
Did you ever find out the difference between normal and steering mode. I don't see it explained anywhere.
@@TheLuckyShepherd No, still unclear to me
@@TheLuckyShepherd from what i understand normal mode makes it like a controller,and steering just feels better i guess
I believe that normal is 180 degrees turn. Steering is 270. But by pressing the assign button and L2 that puts it on 270 anyway.
I would like to ask what is the different for normal & steering mode? Assume the game support both modes. Thanks
I'm not entirely sure I've primarily used it on steering but on the times I had it in normal I've learned that it disables the paddles and makes it basically just an odd controller, but I haven't been able to get it to work on other games using normal.

Hi mate did you end up recovering it what did you think?
And will these be compatible with vr😮?
Will this work on F1 21 & F1 22?
yes, but you have to fix the sensitive
