Hi everyone! Just an update for you. It appears there may be an issue as reported by 2 users with the way the Fanatec QR is designed and compatibility with the DD1/2 specifically. This is currently being investigated but for now I'd recommend holding off on purching this wheel if you are intending to use it with a DD1/2.
More specifically, the keyway on the Leox designed Fanatec compatible QR does not extend throughout the assembly, which means it only interfaces with the rubber retainer on the DD1/2, which can lead to the shaft on the DD1/2 being damaged.
Thanks Will! I watched this review when it first came out and came back for a quick refresh with the wheel in cart. I will hold off now.
Wow ! This is the wheel I was looking for ! Looks amazing especially for this price point ! Would it be compatible with an Alpha mini base ?
will it work for dd+ on ps5, please? thx!
@@Snaggletooth68 no as it has to be plugged in by usb as well
@@Snaggletooth68they make a dongle to make it PS5 compatible
The price is actually nowhere near as much as I thought it was going to be. I expected this to cost at least $800. Nice to see it's closer to the "affordable" price range.
Heck, I thought it was really expensive as well. The look and options on the wheel for the price are fabulous.
Its way more than expected for me ;/ I live next to UK where these are sold from, but since its not within EU i get to pay 25% + import toll. So the cheaper USB wheel with fanatec quickrelease gets to $905 + delivery fee.
Womb womb
I have a LeoXZ wheel and i love it. Couple of things.
1 - the USB model doesn't have shift lights working with Simhub yet. | Edit: They do after some delving.
2 - the plastics are fitted with push pins and come out of their fittings if you're not careful.
3 - Their customer service is great. Quick to respond and very helpful.
HI, I just bought the USB model. Your first point, is that the 2 seperate LED's either side of the wheel your talking about? Mine dont seem to function at all.
One other thing. How do you get the 3 rotary knobs off to put the stickers on? I tried an allan key but they wont budge!
@@ViszlaBoss So the first question, you just need to update the Sim bridge add-on in simhub.
The second one, you need an allon key. A very small one at that.
Which plastics?
Awesome to see third party products in the Fanatec eco system. Very clean design, and ability to run without a cable is massive! I'm hoping they'll bring out slightly larger rims, especially as I already have the Fanatec F1 2020.
Jackermeier doesn’t want other players in his ecosystem.
i have been waiting for this vid for a month now. I discovered this rim and wanted to get it but all the TH-cam reviews where in Spanish or not that good so this is just beautiful
This looks awesome, I will definitely look into this as I have wanted a fanatec compatible formula wheel with a screen for ages
Expected this to be much more expensive than it is.
Been waiting for Fanatec to make a 1st party wheel like this, but looks like this one will be getting my money.
Thanks for the extremely helpful content!
Something a lot of reviewers always fail to mention and i know it´s because it doesn't effect their "core audience", but there are a few of us out there, that use the clutches for brake and accelerator, so knowing what that is like on these wheels would be really good to know. For now i´m stuck with a Fanatec wheel just because that feature works. Maybe a fun future video... You try racing like that and give your opinion on who´s wheels do it best.
The top paddles are axis style for precisely that use-case
@@jarrodclyne707 are you sure? those are normally just buttons
@@db146 this wheel has what looks to be spring loaded top paddles and bottom paddles. The software looks like it gives you the option whether games will recognise the top paddles as buttons or axes. When they are set to be recognised as axes then I assume you can map them to whatever analogue function that suits you. I do agree though a sentence or comment on this clarifying would be cool
Fanatec needs a formula wheel that has a large diameter and customizable backlight buttons.
And a screen
Thanks for the review, Will! Have been considering adding this wheel to the collection, and this video helped a lot. I'm still on the fence, but only because I'm weighing against other options like the CSX3 and GSI Hyper P1; for the price, though, this looks like an excellent option.
Compared to a lot of the other custom wheels on the market this is great value. I’m very tempted. I think my only request (and being a huge endurance sim racing fan) I’d like a version with led buttons. Otherwise for the price point they are pretty incredible, when I first saw them I thought they must be mostly plastic so was surprised when I read most of the wheel is metal and carbon fiber.
Such a great review! I would definitely buy this if it was 300mm. I have a CSL DD and mostly drive GT style cars and am tired of waiting around for Fanatec to release something new. I'm gonna have to wait and think about this wheel and see if I'm willing to go with something smaller than my McLaren V2 GT3 wheel.
This is an amazing value. Very interested to keep an eye on them, and see what they release in the future. 👀 great video as usual!!
Thanks for linking the website. When I looked up the company, I got the Facebook page and almost written them off.
Not bad. I only wish Fanatec would fully license this wheel to work with the wheelbases without having the USB teather. But this is still a great looking wheel.
This video shows a lot of your work.
Thank you.❤
The best part is there extra qr2 connector you can buy allows you ro use simagic wheels also 😉 so now fanatec has some amazing options for wheels for sure! I love the shifters on the leoxz holy crap are they good lol. That dense deep click is beautiful. Me I love how toght the wheel feels i love that snug fit idk why. All they have to do is extend the paddles like make them sit higher and boom perfection.
I have this wheel and love it, I agree with this review. I don't wear gloves and personally find the rotary encoders to be fine. Totally agree about the rubber quality and smoothness, I much prefer it to my Ascher f-28 for the reason that Will gives.
Hi is it comparable with the f1 games from codemaster
@@l1nxgaming707 I got it working with F1 2020. It doesn't replicate the F1 2020 dash though, it just uses the pre-sets of the wheel (since the Leoxz sport doesn't have simhub integration for the dash), and it seemed to me that not all parameters were working. The basics were though, and maybe they update the Firmware later to addrss this.
One thing that I think is worth mentioning about hte pro version, those 2 hat switches are actuallly waay more impressive and usefulll than I expected - beeing also a rotary encoder.
I am using one of them to completly controll all the black boxes from iRacing.
As a downside.. I really dislike the quality of that "buttons frame"... it feels cheapish. Also, the analog paddles feel a little meh, but for this price point, I don't think someone can actually complain.
I also second everything you said about the wheel. I was really frustrated that there was no review out that was so in depth and I actually started to write a script myself, just for the comunity, but then you did this :D
GZ!
I got myself the pro version, simhub compatible, I love it. I still wish it was just 1cm wider. :))
Impressive across the board! Thanks for sharing
I got this wheel, very happy about it, and the costumer service is very good. I got big hands, at first was suprised by the small gap between the wheel and the shifters but after a fwew hours of driving i was used to it, i even prefer this gap now.
The encoders are a bit too softs hope they will stiffer those on next models.
This is actually really cool especially for that price. Wow I will add this to my wish list for my next upgrade
I was waiting for a review of this for a while now, but i would also loved to see the comparison against the pro version.
Totally agree with your closing comment that this actually looks like a real world racing wheel. Too often wheel designs for sim racing are overwrought and garish. This looks like something that belongs in a race car. Shame about those loose thumb encoders though!
I was thinking not long ago something like this would fit in perfectly within the Podium range. Native support for the displays etc would be great, particularly for the console users out there
This is actually a nice product at a good price point. Hope they make a hweel withouth dash slightly cheaper...
I have been using this wheel for 2 months now, besides the hassle for updating the firmware which doesnt always work it is an amazing wheel. I am really pleased with it
Just takes multiple attempts or some other work around?
Just need that 290/300mm for me. Nice to see another wheel on fanatec. Price is amazing for what you get.
Perfect timing was just looking at the pro version of this. It looks like a great wheel for 1000$ cnd
Awesome review! Hope to see Bavariansimtec’s wheel reviewed by you!
Made a comment asking if you could review this ahaha. Great wheel, going to get it for my thrustmaster T818
Very Competitive pricing for a wheel of this magnitude! I would like a bigger GT style wheel, and I haven't decided if I'm going to pull the trigger on this one. But, it's certainly best of class as it applies to wheels that integrate seamlessly into fanatec bases.
Leaning towards this for F1 and LMP. On a Moza R9. Solid video as always
I owned one and did a review myself. Great review and great price.
Ill be ordering this soon hopefully
Interesting. Whoever made the simhub dash took an early design of mine and reworked it.
Would that wheel be pointless in VR but looks really good for its price. Both wheels with a screen are north of a bag. This is a great price, a bit on the small side but i can live with that. Great find/review
I guess the main advantage with EsportSim is that it's console compatible. I hope they send you a sample. I have their FSW2 and intended to review it, but I just don't have the time.
Even though fanatec is a huge brand, i feel they have fallen a bit back - also wheel wise. This looks mint for a fair price. Well played Leoxz
I really like this wheel. The pro version might be the first one I buy after having bought the Fanatec McLaren
Hey Will I've been searching for the Simagic FX Pro, and because your reviews are so good and you usually go so deep with customization and information, I wanted to see this kind of attention and detail given to that wheel I mentioned. Many people talk a lot but don't provide the same level of depth that you provide in the reviews and I'm really curious to see you do the software configuration on the FX Pro.
You should do 1:1 comparison with the Moza FSR connected to fanatec what works and what don’t 😊
You need to check out the xgt pro from them now! There gt3 wheel and it works on PS and allows you to use the settings through the wheel/base because its now using the same pins that fanatec uses.
Its 295mm its bigger then the f1 wheel and the paddle location is better now. Best gt wheel ive ever used yes better then the simagic neo lol. The leoxz is all alu and cf.
May be the best grips ive ever felt also. Love the paddles that deaper clack is beautiful.
Just bought this wheel, it is insane and amazing
honestly, the MOZA FSR looked to be a killer and this wheel being able to use sim hub for any kind of dash at a lower price makes a good argument for using two softwares. looking to get a formula style wheel and im between this and the FSR at the moment.
The Adaptability of Simhub access is a Game Changer for Any Wheel. Simhub Can give a Wheel Longevity as the SimHub Software can Keep up with any Modern Changes in Technology or Display. That Alone Gives a leg up to any wheel that is Simhub Compatible. Some Proprietary Displays can't Optimize info for every Sim. Sim Hub Does this for you
The quality of the wheel looks better than many of those find in racecars ive seen :D Its a good looking wheel. Have the Fanatec mclaren wheel, and while the grip is awesome, the buttons feels really cheap, not to mention the encoders :D I am used to expensive synth encoders, and want a wheel with those.
This is really cool. I’m mostly PS5 so kind of a bummer but understandable. More of a headache to bring to console would take the price up probably and then dealing with Sony and their licensing stuff. Fanatec definitely needs upgrades like this. At least 3rd party hardware can work. Really awesome to see.
Apparently they’ve released a wireless dongle that makes the USB version work on PS5 with Gran Tourismo, but they don’t give a lot of info on their site about it.
Price alone this wheel is a freakin steal! I’ll just buy it, even though I’m building a DIY, just cause.
The only problem I have with LCD displays on wheels is I would have to be sitting in the formula position so I had a line of sight to the wheel or I would be looking down at it and crashing all the time ( my cockpit can do this but haven't tried it yet ) Awsome looking wheel !!
It's no different than looking down at your dashboard while your driving your road car. It's just there to check your time after a lap or to see your tire temps or deg. The speed and gear indicators are fine but I'm not watching my wheel to check my corner entry speed or what gear I'm in. That's all feel or keeping track in your head.
I just oredered the Clubsport 2.5... kinda wish I woulda looked into this...for only a lil more. Very nice wheel! Especially for it's price.
Wow this looks awesome. Thanks so much for reviewing this wheel, Will!
Hey WIll, would love to see you do a vid on Racecraft Online for AMS2. It is starting to gain some momentum, and I would love to see more Australians in particular exposed to it to grow the multiplayer sim racing community for those who do not have iRacing.
Can you do a video focusing on vr users? Like what are the best wheels out there for vr users going thru the entire pricerange. Vr doesnt need fancy displays but good build quality and ergonomics, easy to find buttons and rotarys and such.
Shoutout to Simhub and Crewchief for Being Absolutly Vital pieces of Software for Simracing
Maybe its getting to a point the base manufactures need to get together and make a universal wheel connect system. So it would open possiblety to third party making wheels.
I would order the pro today if it was 300mm. Hope they bring one out.
The Pro Model is sold out already. I'd buy that any moment, hope they restock soon or release a new version
Brilliant review!!!! is that wheel compatible with fanatec v2.5 wheel base?
Awesome Review Will... Would This Wheel Be Compatible With The VRS Direct Pro Wheel Base????
I was on the verge of buying one of these. Trying to sell my simagic fx (un-used btw :) ) to finance me buying this
great review. i have one question. are the bolts for the paddles the same size as fanatec? i use stand-offs to give me room for fingers behind the wheel grip.
Man this vidéo IS excellent
Nice wheel ! Would the Asetek universal QR fit on that ? So can be used on the Invicta.
This reviews are amazing mate!! Thank you. Is there any measure to what are big hands for this wheel ? Its the only thing that makes me think before making a decision between this and the fxpro from simmagic.
Hard to say really. Everyone’s hands are different. I’m size L but have quite skinny fingers and I was OK.
Yes very cool Wheel!!!
I have the Fanatec Porsche Wheel(with DD), nice Wheel too. But the IMS-Display don't work on Xbox SeriesX. It is a shame, because it costs a lot and have the XBox-Logo on it. That suggests that is is 100% compatible, but all the funktions didn't work on XBox😢
Perfect for my G29
Using SRM fanatec emulators, you can run any other wheel on a fanatec wheel base. Just a tip for people that think the fanatec eco system is small
Thank you for the review. Sadly when I looked into it further, it doesn't support the Podium DD bases yet. So I'd assume if you tried it with a DD1, you wouldn't get full torque, right?
Moza actually has some spacers for the shifters , they included with the wheels
The wheel looks amazing. But sadly there is a hole in the fanatec offering for a larger open GT wheel. Yes there is the McLaren GT3 but It is to much plastic. A ClubSport version of the V3 but GT size would be nice. Do you guys know a good 3rd party get wheel in the price range of the wheel describe in this video?
Is it possible to get some kind of guide (same as for Moza last time) for settings in most common sim racing titles for csl dd? Specially after latest update in ACC. I know there is a tons of information in internet but would love to see it here
Really nice to see third parties putting pressure on Fanatec to improve their offerings.
So is it possible to use it also with the VRS or Simucube base and power it completely over USB? Also have you talked with Leoxz about a 300mm version. This would be a no brainer I guess. Thanks.
I'm interested in a cheaper version without a screen, since I don't need a screen on my wheel. Maybe even one that works without Bluetooth or a cable, just directly via the base if that's possible.
Mega nice! Does it work on PS5?
Damnnnn I’d love one at 300mm
Where can you get this wheel in the US? Any reputable sites carry this wheel? Seems like a better option than the moza F1 wheel I was planning to get.
I have to imagine Fanatec has haulted new wheel releases until they release the new QR2 ?
Will could you please start listing Canadian prices too by chance?
Hi Will ( Am i spelling your name correctly? )
Just wondering if you know when the updated USB Cable version of the Wheel will be hitting retail stores?
For the Moza R5 or R9 how does this compare to the Moza FSR wheel?
Hi will, they've updated website with new products, and now it can support ps5. do you have any plans to test it? I might consider switching to their wheels if really works as they claim
Hi, is the quick realese from the thrustmaster version for the T818?
I was wondering if to install the standard QR2 on the XF1 Sport used in Bluetooth mode the SMC emulator was necessary or are there other cheaper methods
I really wish I could physically test this wheel. Worried that its going to be too small. I love my Fanatec Mclaren GT3 wheel and its size but Id love a built in dash and something not made of plastic.
Looks very similar to the Simagic FX Pro, but without backlight buttons etc. BTW, any chance you can turn down the background music, as it's really hard to hear you well.
@Boosted Media and all others in here: wow, awesome! how can we get this "Pro" Wheel to run with Gran Turismo 7 on a PS5 and Assetto Corsa on PC ? What is the cheapest solution with an DD Base? Which DD Base can u suggest? ...Those things are quite complicated these days, especially at Fanatec, some Bases have the Sony Chip inside, and some Wheels have the XBOX Chip inside...I was a fan of Fanatec...but now its complicated. i like to have an F1/GT3 wheel with display and all those nice buttons and thumb encoders for my PC and my PS5.. Maybe an Brook Ras1ution 2 would help? What do you think? big Thanks 4 any good Tips
Looks great!
Can these be plugged directly to the fanatec wheel base or has to be plugged directly to the PC? Trying to eliminate cords all over the place.
First they need to have something in stock. Gave up waiting and went other brand. I’m talking about Fanatec
This isn't made by Fanatec and works with any base including Fanatec.
@@boostedmedia i know, edited my comment :)
Tossing between the Moza FSR and XF1 Pro, I haven't seen any updates on the FSR dash longevity so I'm leaning towards the XF1 purely for sim hub compatibility even though I like the look of the FSR more. Anyone have any insight?
So, price not withstanding, how does it compare to something like an x-29, MPX, VRS, etc? Yes, I know those don't have screens, but they have solid build quality. Can it compete?
Would u recommend the pro version of this wheel for a simucube 2 pro?
Hello friend wanted to know if the base and that wheel to the I do not have pc only platforms xbox series x, would work!!!! I would like to know your answers thank you 🙂
Bit off topic, but the link for the immsource wheelbases has gone down, needs to be renewed. Maybe you can get in touch with them if anyone still is thinking about getting one of those wheelbases
Bonjour, le volant a une batterie pour une utilisation Bluetooth avec un simucube ?
Can you please let me know what I should buy as a system....I love the Leoxz wheel but want to pair it with a motor...i am 60 so not real tech savvy...any help would be great...I only play iracing...also i have no Racing system other than I can bolt them to my pc desk...and i dont know whether to get fanatec or something else...and what does a csx3 wheel fit to?...could i get that?...I would love to buy the Leoxz wheel and a compatiblie Motor system and then something that I can lock it onto a desktop
Question. Many people say the Fanatec Formula wheel feels small in the hands and wish for a more realistic wheel size. Does this solve that problem ? Or are formula wheels generally just smaller (280mm) in reality ?
Does it come with the emulator if you don’t get the quick release? I have a wheel with a quick release already looking to upgrade and sell the wheel while keeping the quick release.
The usb cable is required to power the dashboard if I'm right? Why do we see you driving without the cable? How is that possible if it is not to hide the cable as if it wasn't an issue?
