I got this wheel about a year ago. I used it primarily with Forza Horizon 4, Project Cars 2, and American Truck Simulator. It's really not a bad wheel for a non ffb wheel. I got it when it was on sale so a little less than full price, and it has brought me a good amount of enjoyment over the past year. I am now upgrading to a Thrustmaster T300 RS as soon as it arrives, but the PXN V9 was a decent intermediary step between no wheel and a very good wheel, and was not terribly expensive.
Haha non force feedback on this wheel at this price is straight laughable too. Please get the g923 for a properish feel. Thrustmaster potential few options but lots of problems of quality and feel. But I still feel Fanatec will take the cake always in feel and finish. Love my 911 GT2 wheel that was wrapped at the same factory as real Porsches. Such touches keep Fanatec, a special place in sim racing and my heart. And the FFB is only getting better with DD coming to the public finally 🔥👌 much love, happy simming 🏁

Sadly, cheap wheels is THE ONLY OPTION left for minimum wage people. In Malaysia, US$199 is one mid range smartphone and pretty much the only affordable thing to most people. I want a driving peripheral set but I don't want to break my bank.
I got my T150 with T3PA pedals for €200. This looks like an overpriced but slightly improved HORI Racing Wheel. I don't see any reason to get this over a cheap used DFGT, or a similarly priced used T150 Pro.
i just got it, its my first wheel but i gotta say its perfectly fine for me, it did "only" cost 150 and compared to other products it was rated fine. And yea im sure there are far better ones out there but for my casual needs its good.
My wife snagged this for $50 for me, me being a gear head in real life and involved in the auto industry, had never thought of getting into sim racing, well for $50 my wife did amazing, yes I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of the FF and DD units and I have an upgrade route planned but for now this works as this is the most fun I’ve had video gaming in a long long time thanks to my wife.
Im excited bc im getting this wheel today for my birthday and it may not be the best wheel but it was the best one i could find that has almost everything i wanted and we can afford it
Its a wheel which comes with shifter and 3 pedals and compability with all the major consols and pc It achieves everything which thrustmaster and logitech cant without near 400€ or over With little bit better wheel it is the best wheel set you can find for lower prices
I was looking for this comment. I mean for the price it's good. Like I can't find a FFB with a clutch and the shifter under 4 to $500. I don't know where these people are finding cheaper Wheels with FFB but I can't and this wheel does a good job for the price
Had a wheel like that few years ago, bought it off a friend for about 6 euros, which was a fair price for such a product - it was absolutely terrible, just like this one. Potentiometer with crappy encoder with visible stepping for steering, clicky, but bland feeling thin plastic shifter paddles and fully plastic two pedals that crumbled a bit every dirt rally session. It had a sequential shifter knob that also had a click sideways, which was nice for a handbrake. After adjusting gamma in game for ets2, it was the only thing it was remotely enjoyable at. This thing should cost 50 euros at best, and mostly due to a functional shifter, really no point in it otherwise.
It bugs me when companies charge the same numerical value regardless of currency. 200 USD is 150 GBP not 200. Even with 20% vat (on the high side for US I think), the dollar figure still doesn’t equal 200 GBP. A product not worthy of the price regardless but that sort of stuff discourages me even more.
I had a Logitech G920 or G29 on my Christmas list. I got a G29 for Christmas and when I asked Dad about it, he said he actually didn't look based on my chirstmas list. He did his own research and came to the same conclusion as me. I really had fun playing f1 2019 with it, super happy.
Still using my Logitech G27 wheel I’ve had for 7 years. Never had one problem with it. Bought the wheel and bought NASCAR racing 2003 too at the same time. The thing is a trooper it’s been through three gaming PC’s and a lot of racing racing on Raceroom and CarX. Done a bunch of ATS and ETS also with it.
@@MGdrifts I do every once in a while, I just don’t have time for it to play regularly. I still haven’t even attempted an online race. It’s been like 3 years since I’d bought it
I was thinkig to buy this as my first wheel for a bit but fortunately I decided to give some more money so I got a g29+shifter. Force feedback is something that you can not live without in sim racing or even in a few arcady games like forza horizon, grid etc. A solution if you play on pc is to get a g27 at least its an older versin but it has wheel+pedals+shifter in the package, it has force feedback and it costs now less than 200$.
I bought a as new (because it was replaced in warranty so it was still packaged, but with 6 months less warranty) G27 in 2015 for 180€. I still use it today. I modded the pedals which I still find good, and I am thinking to upgrade to the cheap direct drive that fanatec did. Point is, you can easily find used g27 for about 100 euros today, and if you're on the cheap that's what I recommend. Better wheels don't guarantee to make you a better driver, also, so it makes a lot of sense to get good on old good steering wheels
I agree. Around $80 is what I remember paying for my first cheapo thrustmaster wheel, it was basically the same thing as this... no ffb, autocenters via bungee cords. It was actually a surprisingly decent wheel considering the price, I got a year out of it before upgrading to a wheel with ffb.
They literally just added the shifter and an extra pedal to the v900, which is a $100 wheel that competes with those bungee cord wheels grandma buys little Jhonny for Christmas.
at least this wheel has 900 degrees of motion, those bungee cord wheels don't, plus a lot people don't want to spend 300 dollars on a toy, force feedback is some bullshit nothing like a real racing car, go drive on a track for real, some of these sim racing setup cost as much as a real track car lmao
Another flaw on this is the connecting cable that goes from the remote to the wheel. It flimsy and would lose connection to the wheel if the remote is moved just the slightest.
It’s bc of how it comes with. I would have rather asked for a G920 or a G923. Both of which don’t come with the shifter so that’s more money to spend. Idk but I just wanted to maximize my chances of getting my first wheel. With wheels being 300+ with no shifter and sometimes no clutch, I didn’t want to ask for something that ‘expensive’ while still having to either save up or ask for the shifter as well.
@@niklasdavind4722 tbh thats the only person I see buying this. The pxn v9 is like 250 cad. This wheel should be like 100. I bough a g27 on ebay for 160 overall with shipping. I had enough money to swap out the wheel, make a custom handbrake (ill make a vid on that lol) and a shifter knob swap. I was able to get a whole brand new wheel for less than 220. This wheel is bullshit
only cheap wheel that should ever be considered is the logitech driving force pro/gt. 900 degrees, actual force feedback, sequential shifter and paddles. You can find them used for under $50
@@zephrinrondo4171 Honestly any wheel without force feedback is not worth it, no matter how good anything else is surrounding it. There's basically no point to using a wheel if it doesn't adjust according to the road. Might as well use a controller
this makes my logitec g27 i got free from a guy that thought it broke after sitting in a shed for a couple years, seem like a the best deal ever. comes with everything there except the buttons on the wheel arent like that. but i get force feedback. a decent encoder and pedal deadzones aren't bad
The pxn v9 I heard is really good, good build quality, solid for the price and you get a 6 speed shifter/ 12 speed, with the low and high gear switch, and a 3 pedal set with aluminum plates for only around 180, force feedback is kinda unnecessary, it just makes cable management harder because you have extra cables
Force Feedback is unnecessary depending on what you're doing (I assume). I have never had force feedback, but unlike most people here, I've driven a car and do drive a car daily. I'm here to just be able to make more accurate inputs than on a controller. Although for drifting I heard it can be very helpful. Not as much for F1 Racing or just racing games, but for drifting at least, I heard it's mandated. Some other things I've heard about this wheel, is unlike what you said, poor build quality. For example, the entire thing is made out of plastic (wheel), and most things such as shifter and gas/brakes/clutch also break easily. I am getting mine delivered tomorrow so I will try to update this then. Although I'm quite disappointed as I wasn't trying to buy this but rather received it as a gift from my parents.. :( Now I gotta use this till it breaks which probably will be in 3 days anyways.
Well considering that the G27/29/923 whatever is minimally 450 dollars in my country while this can be had for a maximum of 250, with PXN official on amazon selling it for 189, the reason for this existing is pretty clear to me. The hori apex/overdrive wheels are also around 170 bucks, so for a little more I get a gear shifter. The only possible force feedback wheel I could get would cost me over 400 dollars, so this is a much clearer value proposition in my currency.
You got it at 200 bucks damn I only bought this for like 100-120 bucks granted I live in asia and I only bought this because I'm a broke student but for its price I enjoyed playing it
Wow at least yours kinda worked. I bought one, it worked for 30 minutes, went to my girlfriends parents house, came back and it was consistently spamming both the A & B buttons. And then over time of me trying to fix the damn thing (like unplugging stuff and plugging back in or resetting on PXN app) it started to make all the other buttons glitch out. At that point the entire thing is unusable. I send it back, they send me a new one for free, except this one is broken out of box, doing the same thing the first one did. They’re scumbag scammers, don’t trust them. They get passed licensing by plugging the steering wheel into the controller. If anything, go buy a thrust master or a Logitech G920. I have the G920 and it’s far better for long term and it’s the only fairly “cheap” one I’ve seen with a clutch pedal. It was $317 after tax and the shifter is an extra $60 but it’s far better than this piece of shit. Spend the extra money for a G29, or G920, you won’t regret it.
I bought a Hori wheel a long time ago for $50, had vibration, auto centering and worked as an xbox360 controller. It wasn't bad for the price, at least.
Bought a used Logitech Driving force GT wheel for 50 bucks. Sure it's missing clutch and a shifter, but man, the FFB and 900 degree turning radius are the 2 features I couldn't go without, now that I tried it.
My first wheel was a rubber band wheel. $50 wasted. It connected to the PS3 as a controller, like this one. It did not have a shifter, but I didn't care about that at the time. The resolution was so bad, that it was physically impossible to drive straight when I tried it on GT6. I was able to drive much faster on the standard controller. I later got a T150, and the experience was incredible (though I haven't tried any other FFB wheels yet). I can't understand how this thing could be sold for $199. That's a scam IMO
Ive only had it for like a month and the shifter is broken already, all 3 of the pedals arent even analog anymore and the paddle shifters snap off. It was literally the first ever wheel i had But at the time there werent any other option, the G29 is like 2x the price so
I got this setup for 60.00 at a pawn store. Fast forward probably 30 hours, I realized the mode button tells the PC it's a keyboard so you can map in everything properly. Once I figured that out, it's a win. 60 bucks. and only the 900°-270° switch doesn't function it's stuck on 270. Oh well. Wouldn't say it's Trash though. It's cheaper than a thrustmaster setup and does all the same things.
Got this recently and playing gt5 on ps3. Just wondering how to get the clutch and h shifter work on the game. Am I choosing the wrong car or do I need to change the in-game setup
lol, I bought my T300RS for ~€205 on a sale back in april (it's the 2 pedals version, switched from G29 and also bought a T-LCM at that time), this is a joke. You can buy a used DFGT for half the price.
I got my g25 for 140 second hand, pretty much new though. The guy used it like once. They did live in a mansion though so they probably weren’t too worried about the money loss. My first wheel and I’ve never had so much fun.
thank for the review im planning to buy this soon cause in india rn this is the only wheel at the price which has everything i need without being too out of my budget the g29 with pedals without shifter in india is like 30k inr and this pxn v9 with the pedals and shifter is 15600 inr
centering spring is a good mechanic, just like g25-29 series, centering spring is good for games with no FFB or bad FFB output, and you don't want cheap FFB like gear system anyway... no ffb is the best option until you get to high end belts or dd. Not having FFB at all and being $200 is good.
Wow 200$ for this wheel. You could maybe get yourself a 2nd hand heavily used wheel with force feedback with that amount of money if you’re lucky. Pay a little more and you’ll get a decent wheel, I agree with what you’ve said. I also see no reason why anyone would buy this at that price point over a 2nd hand wheel that shakes your wrist.
You can get yourself a brand new wheel with FFB for $200. If you're willing to get a used one you can get something much better for this money... though personally I wouldn't buy a used wheel unless I know the person I'm buying from. It's just too much money to gamble with IMO, you'll discover some intermittent fault a week later and you're stuck with it, I'll pass...
@@ugn669 bro in canada a wheel with fbb is 300. I've seen this wheel compared to the g29 but with inflation the g29 with shifter is like 350 where I am (canada).

My wife snagged this for $50 for me, me being a gear head in real life and involved in the auto industry, had never thought of getting into sim racing, well for $50 my wife did amazing, yes I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of the FF and DD units and I have an upgrade route planned but for now this works as this is the most fun I’ve had video gaming in a long long time thanks to my wife.
Just got it from Micro Center for $89.99. Works pretty well for that price. Played WRC10 and American Truck Sim with it.
Lol they drop the price at my micro center for 70
Im excited bc im getting this wheel today for my birthday and it may not be the best wheel but it was the best one i could find that has almost everything i wanted and we can afford it
Have u tried it on f1 games? Is it good?
Its a wheel which comes with shifter and 3 pedals and compability with all the major consols and pc
It achieves everything which thrustmaster and logitech cant without near 400€ or over
With little bit better wheel it is the best wheel set you can find for lower prices
I was looking for this comment. I mean for the price it's good. Like I can't find a FFB with a clutch and the shifter under 4 to $500. I don't know where these people are finding cheaper Wheels with FFB but I can't and this wheel does a good job for the price
if a logitech wheel costs nearly 400€ then you must be getting scammed

Had a wheel like that few years ago, bought it off a friend for about 6 euros, which was a fair price for such a product - it was absolutely terrible, just like this one. Potentiometer with crappy encoder with visible stepping for steering, clicky, but bland feeling thin plastic shifter paddles and fully plastic two pedals that crumbled a bit every dirt rally session. It had a sequential shifter knob that also had a click sideways, which was nice for a handbrake.
After adjusting gamma in game for ets2, it was the only thing it was remotely enjoyable at.
This thing should cost 50 euros at best, and mostly due to a functional shifter, really no point in it otherwise.
Nice. I like how you use the same gmail account after 13 years too lol
i think you are mentioning the PXNV900
not the pxnv9
It bugs me when companies charge the same numerical value regardless of currency. 200 USD is 150 GBP not 200. Even with 20% vat (on the high side for US I think), the dollar figure still doesn’t equal 200 GBP. A product not worthy of the price regardless but that sort of stuff discourages me even more.
i got this for my birthday last year, the worts purchase of anything i enjoy even in my life.
I had a Logitech G920 or G29 on my Christmas list. I got a G29 for Christmas and when I asked Dad about it, he said he actually didn't look based on my chirstmas list. He did his own research and came to the same conclusion as me. I really had fun playing f1 2019 with it, super happy.
Still using my Logitech G27 wheel I’ve had for 7 years. Never had one problem with it. Bought the wheel and bought NASCAR racing 2003 too at the same time. The thing is a trooper it’s been through three gaming PC’s and a lot of racing racing on Raceroom and CarX. Done a bunch of ATS and ETS also with it.
This makes me feel like I had one hell of a deal a few years back when I got my g27 for €140
???? You play ac now?
@@MGdrifts I do every once in a while, I just don’t have time for it to play regularly.
I still haven’t even attempted an online race. It’s been like 3 years since I’d bought it
Me too I got a thrustmaster tmx for around the same price in American dollars
I was thinkig to buy this as my first wheel for a bit but fortunately I decided to give some more money so I got a g29+shifter. Force feedback is something that you can not live without in sim racing or even in a few arcady games like forza horizon, grid etc. A solution if you play on pc is to get a g27 at least its an older versin but it has wheel+pedals+shifter in the package, it has force feedback and it costs now less than 200$.
I can't seem to find this anywhere for less than $200.
I love seeing reels on Instagram of turkish people using this wheel and flexing a blacked out g63 mod in ets2
That's funny
I bought a as new (because it was replaced in warranty so it was still packaged, but with 6 months less warranty) G27 in 2015 for 180€. I still use it today. I modded the pedals which I still find good, and I am thinking to upgrade to the cheap direct drive that fanatec did. Point is, you can easily find used g27 for about 100 euros today, and if you're on the cheap that's what I recommend. Better wheels don't guarantee to make you a better driver, also, so it makes a lot of sense to get good on old good steering wheels
I got my g29 for 189€ a couple years ago, this thing should be worth 80$ at best
I agree. Around $80 is what I remember paying for my first cheapo thrustmaster wheel, it was basically the same thing as this... no ffb, autocenters via bungee cords. It was actually a surprisingly decent wheel considering the price, I got a year out of it before upgrading to a wheel with ffb.
They literally just added the shifter and an extra pedal to the v900, which is a $100 wheel that competes with those bungee cord wheels grandma buys little Jhonny for Christmas.
at least this wheel has 900 degrees of motion, those bungee cord wheels don't, plus a lot people don't want to spend 300 dollars on a toy, force feedback is some bullshit nothing like a real racing car, go drive on a track for real, some of these sim racing setup cost as much as a real track car lmao
Wait a minute… the g29 has the Logitech logo in the middle??? Mine doesn’t have one lol
Another flaw on this is the connecting cable that goes from the remote to the wheel. It flimsy and would lose connection to the wheel if the remote is moved just the slightest.
Can confirm.
Ok, you're right, this is the real demolition! 😂
I don’t know, 200 is too much for this wheel, I can’t imagine someone buying it
Yeah worth prob 120$ or 100$
Well, parents
It’s bc of how it comes with. I would have rather asked for a G920 or a G923. Both of which don’t come with the shifter so that’s more money to spend. Idk but I just wanted to maximize my chances of getting my first wheel. With wheels being 300+ with no shifter and sometimes no clutch, I didn’t want to ask for something that ‘expensive’ while still having to either save up or ask for the shifter as well.
I wtxh ur vids lol
@@niklasdavind4722 tbh thats the only person I see buying this. The pxn v9 is like 250 cad. This wheel should be like 100. I bough a g27 on ebay for 160 overall with shipping. I had enough money to swap out the wheel, make a custom handbrake (ill make a vid on that lol) and a shifter knob swap. I was able to get a whole brand new wheel for less than 220. This wheel is bullshit
You know when you get suction cup mounts, you’re in the next level.
Man I love your honest reviews!!! This is so rare in the current world of youtube!
only cheap wheel that should ever be considered is the logitech driving force pro/gt. 900 degrees, actual force feedback, sequential shifter and paddles. You can find them used for under $50
My first wheel was a DFGT. I bought it when I was 10 or 11 and used it until it died :D
thrustermaster t80
@@zephrinrondo4171 No force feedback is a waste of time. DFGT is the way to go
@@cameronnaidoo8564 its still a good wheel tho
@@zephrinrondo4171 Honestly any wheel without force feedback is not worth it, no matter how good anything else is surrounding it. There's basically no point to using a wheel if it doesn't adjust according to the road. Might as well use a controller
Budget steering wheel list:
1- thrustmaster t150 (good forcefeedback)(no clutch)
2- logitech g29/920 (bad forcefeedback)(with clutch)(seperate shifter)
3- pxn v9 (sacrifice forcefeedback)(with clutch)(with shifter)
My personal opinion:
Used/second hand logitech g27
Videos like these are so much better when you link alternatives. Sigh, back to searching
this makes my logitec g27 i got free from a guy that thought it broke after sitting in a shed for a couple years, seem like a the best deal ever. comes with everything there except the buttons on the wheel arent like that. but i get force feedback. a decent encoder and pedal deadzones aren't bad
idk but this only costs 80$ for where I live pretty good price for the features it offers some doesn't even offer a shifter at that price point
The pxn v9 I heard is really good, good build quality, solid for the price and you get a 6 speed shifter/ 12 speed, with the low and high gear switch, and a 3 pedal set with aluminum plates for only around 180, force feedback is kinda unnecessary, it just makes cable management harder because you have extra cables

Force Feedback is unnecessary depending on what you're doing (I assume). I have never had force feedback, but unlike most people here, I've driven a car and do drive a car daily. I'm here to just be able to make more accurate inputs than on a controller. Although for drifting I heard it can be very helpful. Not as much for F1 Racing or just racing games, but for drifting at least, I heard it's mandated. Some other things I've heard about this wheel, is unlike what you said, poor build quality. For example, the entire thing is made out of plastic (wheel), and most things such as shifter and gas/brakes/clutch also break easily. I am getting mine delivered tomorrow so I will try to update this then. Although I'm quite disappointed as I wasn't trying to buy this but rather received it as a gift from my parents.. :( Now I gotta use this till it breaks which probably will be in 3 days anyways.
It’s funny your cat just made you crash into a barrier
Well considering that the G27/29/923 whatever is minimally 450 dollars in my country while this can be had for a maximum of 250, with PXN official on amazon selling it for 189, the reason for this existing is pretty clear to me. The hori apex/overdrive wheels are also around 170 bucks, so for a little more I get a gear shifter. The only possible force feedback wheel I could get would cost me over 400 dollars, so this is a much clearer value proposition in my currency.
Can you make dirty rally gameplay with this setup?
these type of wheels has their market
Note to anyone you get what you pay for no matter what it is. Don't expect quality if you buy cheap
I wonder if the low rotation resolution is due to it trying to emulate an analogue stick.
You got it at 200 bucks damn I only bought this for like 100-120 bucks granted I live in asia and I only bought this because I'm a broke student but for its price I enjoyed playing it
Wait till he finds out the pxn v3 😂😂😂😂
My parents: *has below average salary
Me: *"I'm gonna buy the most expensive gaming wheel which is more expensive than our rent"*
I had this wheel but couldnt get it to work properly so I returned it and bought a g923 for $200.
For everyone saying its an crappy steering wheel no it’s not it’s an great steering wheel and it works on every game I play
Wow at least yours kinda worked. I bought one, it worked for 30 minutes, went to my girlfriends parents house, came back and it was consistently spamming both the A & B buttons. And then over time of me trying to fix the damn thing (like unplugging stuff and plugging back in or resetting on PXN app) it started to make all the other buttons glitch out. At that point the entire thing is unusable. I send it back, they send me a new one for free, except this one is broken out of box, doing the same thing the first one did. They’re scumbag scammers, don’t trust them. They get passed licensing by plugging the steering wheel into the controller. If anything, go buy a thrust master or a Logitech G920. I have the G920 and it’s far better for long term and it’s the only fairly “cheap” one I’ve seen with a clutch pedal. It was $317 after tax and the shifter is an extra $60 but it’s far better than this piece of shit. Spend the extra money for a G29, or G920, you won’t regret it.
be happy there are companies out there looking out less fortunate people everybody cant afford a high priced gaming driving wheel
Hi I got this wheel for. Christmas bow do I use the claps for the desk
PXN-V9 owner here, it is quite crap and my shifter has stopped working. I am going to upgrade my steering wheel in the future.
I bought a Hori wheel a long time ago for $50, had vibration, auto centering and worked as an xbox360 controller. It wasn't bad for the price, at least.
Bought a used Logitech Driving force GT wheel for 50 bucks. Sure it's missing clutch and a shifter, but man, the FFB and 900 degree turning radius are the 2 features I couldn't go without, now that I tried it.
My first wheel was a rubber band wheel. $50 wasted. It connected to the PS3 as a controller, like this one. It did not have a shifter, but I didn't care about that at the time. The resolution was so bad, that it was physically impossible to drive straight when I tried it on GT6. I was able to drive much faster on the standard controller. I later got a T150, and the experience was incredible (though I haven't tried any other FFB wheels yet). I can't understand how this thing could be sold for $199. That's a scam IMO
Daaaaamn, now I know the reason of wheel slippin between points - it's a low res of the encoder?
Ive only had it for like a month and the shifter is broken already, all 3 of the pedals arent even analog anymore and the paddle shifters snap off. It was literally the first ever wheel i had
But at the time there werent any other option, the G29 is like 2x the price so
jeeez a month? You got scammed bro
I got this setup for 60.00 at a pawn store. Fast forward probably 30 hours, I realized the mode button tells the PC it's a keyboard so you can map in everything properly. Once I figured that out, it's a win. 60 bucks. and only the 900°-270° switch doesn't function it's stuck on 270. Oh well. Wouldn't say it's Trash though. It's cheaper than a thrustmaster setup and does all the same things.
this is the wheel summit was using for a while till chat told him to get a logitech wheel.
The fact that a Logitech DFGT with 900 degrees rotation and FFB used to be $80 new...
i did not have the wheel for a year and the pedal clip for connectiong to the wheel broke the clamps snapped right in half

i cant find any info on it for now but its released for vietnam
would u also review NiTHO Drive Pro v16/20? Its also a budget wheel
lol, I bought my T300RS for ~€205 on a sale back in april (it's the 2 pedals version, switched from G29 and also bought a T-LCM at that time), this is a joke. You can buy a used DFGT for half the price.
I also just ordered a T300 for my first wheel.

I got my g25 for 140 second hand, pretty much new though. The guy used it like once.
They did live in a mansion though so they probably weren’t too worried about the money loss.

Remember when the G25 cost 150 euro? With shifter, FFB, 3 pedals.. And it would last for 5+ years?
I reviewed one of those last year. Would kick this to the kerb 🤣

I can't get my pedale working properly with my wheel.
What are you talking about?! This is the most professional wheel ever! I installed one into my car!!! 🤪🤪🤪
centering spring is a good mechanic, just like g25-29 series, centering spring is good for games with no FFB or bad FFB output, and you don't want cheap FFB like gear system anyway... no ffb is the best option until you get to high end belts or dd. Not having FFB at all and being $200 is good.
Wow 200$ for this wheel. You could maybe get yourself a 2nd hand heavily used wheel with force feedback with that amount of money if you’re lucky. Pay a little more and you’ll get a decent wheel, I agree with what you’ve said. I also see no reason why anyone would buy this at that price point over a 2nd hand wheel that shakes your wrist.
You can get yourself a brand new wheel with FFB for $200. If you're willing to get a used one you can get something much better for this money... though personally I wouldn't buy a used wheel unless I know the person I'm buying from. It's just too much money to gamble with IMO, you'll discover some intermittent fault a week later and you're stuck with it, I'll pass...
@@ugn669 bro in canada a wheel with fbb is 300. I've seen this wheel compared to the g29 but with inflation the g29 with shifter is like 350 where I am (canada).

Ik im gonna miss out on ffb but i aint got money to get a shifter addon while already spending more in the wheel itself. Just need a starter wheel.
I think it's high because of travel tax. In Philippines it'd around 130 to 150 USD. But yeah i also made a diy wheel without FFB. But i would like to get a G29 someday. It's really hard ti find 2nd hand wheels in asia countries especially SEA. 200 is too much for that.
A G27 goes for roughly 349 USD or a G29(without shifter) for 390 USD in my country. 2nd hand market dried up as we entered 2nd year of the varus so much so that all of the cheap listing are "for parts" only.
