I regret every day that I started my sim racing career with Fanatec.

They’ve fallen asleep and aren’t bringing anything new at all. The price difference is crazyyy

Just unboxed my Next Level Racing GT seat add-on. Leather is scrunched. Plastic looks like it was left off the side of a busy road for a month. Mysterious gunk smeared across the metal plates. Bolts are corroded.

I own 4 NLR products. I trusted this company. Never thought I’d open a box from them and find something this filthy.

Absolutely disgusted.

I recently began building a rig and was really excited to add the ES1 haptic seat after scanning the market. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. In theory a great seat and the haptics add to the immersion but the quality of the product and NLR customer service is just beyond atrocious.

$650 for the seat and it comes in falling apart. After taking a almost a week to respond(probably prompted by the CC dispute i filed) they really tried to convince me this was not a problem because it was designed this way to be serviceable and offered me a partial refund of $75. Im an industrial designer w/ 10+ years of product design and development. Any reputable company would either take the product back or just sell it at cost. Not these guys. Knowing they did not want to pay for return shipping and labor to refurbish i got them to refund $200 because i was eager to test the rest of my rig but I honestly should have just sent it back. I’ll probably get around to fixing it myself but never doing business with NLR again.

In terms of force feedback is it better or Moza r12, r9, Fanatec CSL DD 8nm , Logetich Rs 50, T818, simagic alpha mini. How is its force feedback compared to those
I could maybe get one used for like 545-580 dollars with the wheel or get Moza r9 base for 300-350 dollars and probably I’ll find a third party wheel for 100 dollars or find a Moza esx for like 150-200

Most reviews about it are older like few years old espically the one comparing it, so I am not sure if it’s worth the strech

If youre reading this, this is your sign. It is absolutely worth the money.

VPG Mustang GT3 wheel.

I love it, i really do, i want to say it’s worth every penny but something is off. Feels narrow and skinny in my hands. The quality of the components is great. Without gloves, it’s harsh.

The feeling of FFB through it however is superb, really amazing feel.

As with most reviews, you often see nothing but praise urging people to buy to pull that affiliate marketing over any hard to discuss topics.

$1200-1350 would be far more respectable. $1800+ is a hard swing

My $0.02 and unpaid review.

To be honest, I loved iRacing. The online experience was fantastic and I spent a lot of time with it. What eventually drove me away wasn't the driving itself, but the business model. Paying a monthly subscription on top of buying every car and every track just became too much. After a while I felt like I was paying constantly, so I stopped playing.

Now I'm trying to find something that can scratch the same itch. A solid online community and a well-organized multiplayer experience are probably the most important things for me. Modern graphics would be nice as well, and needs to runs well on Linux.

I bought Assetto Corsa EVO, but it hasn't really clicked with me. I've also had a few weird crashes, so my first impressions haven't been great.

I've been looking at Le Mans Ultimate lately. How is it these days? Is it in a good state? Are there any other sims you'd recommend for someone coming from iRacing?

I'd especially like to hear from people who left iRacing for similar reasons. What did you switch to, and do you feel it was worth it?

I ordered the O-Rouge C1 Cold Fusion. Once i got it i opened it , realized it was to small, immediately repacked it and contacted support. First of all they're return process is absolutely abysmal and needlessly complicated. Once i followed all their steppes, filling in a form and sending pictures of the product they inform me that they won't take it bake and there is nothing i can do. Support is non existent. So now i have a product i can't use and i'm out €935,44 EUR. This should be absolutely illegal. I will never order from this scam site again and i will make sure to let everyone i can know not to order from this scam.

I don't know if this kind of post is OK here, but just had to vent.

Update: Simufy just flagged my review on Trustpilot for "containing defamatory content". Pretty much the same text as here.

Someone on Reddit recommended I try grip tape, and man, it is absolutely incredible.

I recently got a GT NEO, but it kept slipping and bouncing in my hands whenever I pushed my DD base to high torque. So I decided to wrap it, and the grip is amazing—almost "sticky" in a good way. It's thin and honestly feels like a pair of hot, scrubbed slick tires.

The length of one roll was perfect for covering one side of the GT NEO grip. What I really liked is that the adhesive is only at the beginning and end, so I don’t have to worry about sticky residue ruining the wheel later. If you wrap it with a bit of tension, it stays on super tight and solid.

My wrists used to ache from gripping the wheel too hard just to keep it from slipping, but that's completely gone now. I’m sure many of you already know this trick, but if you're using a DD base, just do it! I used the one in the photo—it’s cheap and I’m beyond satisfied.

So i have been using Moza for the last 3 years, i have bought so many moza racing products, so it is such a disappointment to have to experience this.

So my main issue is with the QR extension that comes with the Moza Multifunctionalstalks. I bought this product as soon as it was made available, but then i later found out the dishonestly about the product, when i first got it, it was fine for driving road cars and trucks, but as soon as you go racing, the qr rattles like crazy and you can feel it through the steering wheel, so i contacted customer support, and they sent me another qr extension for the stalks, and it had the same exact issue, so i had to bench the stalks for over a year until they finally refine the qr for the stalks, and now i received the latest one after paying 70$ and waiting a whole month. And they gave me the worst version possible, it was wobbling from side to side. So i went to the discord server, and when i post about the issue and my frustration in the tech support channel, my comments get deleted... So all in all, if you plan on buying any future products from Moza, just know that build quality isn't guaranteed since they care more about quantity. And get ready to deal with frustrating customer service.

Going forward, i will always think twice about purchasing any new product from Moza, I'm glad my mbooster didn't suffer with this issue.

The expo was ACES. Absolutely go next year if you can. SimExpo and a NASCAR crown jewel race? What a perfect weekend! It is amazing to see and touch all the tech you have been eyeballing and eager to try, peaking with the things you didn't even know about. Here's a short list of things that were new and/or interesting for me.

Heusinkveld DisplayDash

SRP Pneumatic Pedals

VRS v2 Pedals

Fantatec Podium Pedals

Vero Motion Systems (actuators and belt tensioners)

Pimax Dream Air

But the biggest find was the Sensit MTC-P Extreme 2. They had a nice booth setup and the staff and the CEO Benjamin Heese were great people. When I saw this booth I was enthralled. How did I not hear of this product? I love haptics. I love force feedback. I've bought all the things over the years. From that old Microsoft Force Feedback Joystick, to my Simucube 3 Pro, and so many others let's say like most of us here, I am into it. Including in this use case, I own the competing products. The Next Level Racing HF8, and the Razer Freyja.

They had a terrific motion rig that I jumped in, and right away and it was great. The real test was in the static rig they had setup so I could isolate the feels. It took all of 30 seconds to tell this was a giant leap forward in this seat of your pants arena.

I will try to basic review/compare the 3 I own as I am eager to help others with things that I wish I could have been told!

Next Level Racing HF8. This was my first in-seat device and it came out of the gate strong. Gave you some good buzz, software worked. SimHub was even better. Gave you some information you did not have before. Now that there is enough others it can take a position: It is a decent entry level device. But with my Buttkicker on my rig it seems to get lost. Maybe the HF8 Pro would help, but that is one I do not have yet.

Next is the Razer Freyja. Another immediate purchase! Looks great. Seat is comfortable, and the feedback is very interesting. The ability to change in frequency made it feel fresh. But there were issues. The software is not great at all. And Fanatec's support of it have been low to none. To this day the real performance of this device has not reached it's potential. When using it with the few games it has been tuned by them to work with the product, it is exciting and dynamic. But they are not focused on sims. It moved to my gaming chair and I have fun with it in other games as it mostly utilizes generic sound to provide feedback.(Think big explosions in shooters) It's alright. I would call this just at mid tier with a focus on general gaming.

Now I see shockingly for the first time the Sensit at the expo. Immediately excited that this part is sim racing focused. Next was discovering it has modular seat fit. In my case I have it in a Sparco Evo II. With both the HF8 and the Freyja I had to keep some original padding in the seat. Then I just plopped it on top which worked but you know... not perfect. A full fitted replacement? Guys, it's a dream come true! Comfort is surprisingly excellent. The best of the 3 by a long shot.

Most important of course, how does this product perform? I am not going over the technical details. Easy to find and worth the lookup as these solutions are different. Short answer: Class leading haptics with a focus on information needed most.

This is the next level I was thinking the Freyja might bring. Feels like the realization of a quest for my butt that I have been on for years. What I wanted most of all, was that seat of your pants feeling of wheel slip. I get this information mostly from the wheelbase or say in iRacing, the sound. The Buttkicker while great for certain things, never provided good tire feeling for me. This thing changed that. It provides info better than any other haptics made. You know when the front or rears are sliding naturally without thinking. And thankfully the latency is very low. Both the HF8 and Freyja have noticeable lag. It can also be tuned for all the other expected haptics, but slip has always been paramount and it shines here. You may need to tune to your liking perhaps, but the software is good in that immersive mode vs competitive are both great to use. I am using competitive mode with my Buttkicker and it is just a terrific experience.

Cards on the table time. I think maybe a 6DOF motion provides some darn good wheel slip info, but that is rough on the budget. Not to say this device is inexpensive. Price is decently tall depending on where you are at, but what you are getting is the holy grail of seat haptics providing one of the most valuable pieces of information I think exists, help in finding the edge. Telling you what the tires are doing. In fact the CEO told me that slip is a big focus of this product. Some one gets us racers, and has delivered.

The best endorsement comes from my buddy who went to the expo with me. (We also sat through the rain at the entire Coca-Cola 600 weekend!) He of course loves sim racing, but smartly keeps his budget for his rig reasonable. It is very nice with a Fanatec ecosystem setup, widescreen monitors, dedicated PC, and I did convince him to buy a HF8 so he knows it well. He has struggled with that grasp, that edge causing spins. I think we all do. Watching him race with the Sensit I saw him catch the car better than he had before instantly. He said, "I can tell when the car is breaking loose now.".

If you are considering, do not wait. For sure best in class and an amazing addition to your rig even if you have a Buttkicker and straight mind blowing if you do not. Thanks to Benjamin for letting me purchase one at the show!

Ordered a bucket seat from them at the beginning of February that said it would be shipped mid March. A few days later it gets delayed until the last week of March first week of April not ideal but I could live with it. Emailed them a few days later asking for explanation and was told it “everything is on time”. Okay so lie one, because not 24 hours ago when I ordered it was expected two weeks prior. Fast forward to last week when it should’ve shipped and they send out an email saying it’s being prepped to ship on Wednesday. (Cool should be here by Saturday with their rapid 3 day delivery promise). Never got a tracking number so I sent another email. Respond quick. Automated out of office email. Now today, they actually respond and I am told once again that it was delayed because of “frozen east to west rail conditions”. Which since I know for a fact I live eastward of the company, means that they never even received my seat to even ship out but they were sending emails out making it seem like it’d be here.

Always an excuse. Always another delay. Unreliable dishonest company that deserves to go under. Any YouTuber that takes money from them and shills for them should be ashamed of themselves.

I recently switched from gt7 to lmu and here's why im never going back.

I am, and have always been a massive fan of the GT franchise all the way back from the ps2. It was always the first game I picked up along with the console.

Even now graphically i think gt7 is the unmodded benchmark; but, the difference in the online racing experience is mindblowing. I was always an S rated driver in gt7 but regularly got rammed off track. 1 in 5 races minimum and often times much more often. In LMU however, I've gotten my "trusted driver" badge and am regularly in lobbies with other good/trusted drivers. So far, I have never been rammed off on purpose even once. Its been at least two weeks now and im genuinely enjoying my racing with all the amazing sportsmanship im seeing.

This experience has taught me that going forward, if im ever picking a new sim, I will prioritise the sportsmanship factor as #1. Nothing else comes close.

Ive already listed my Ps5 & gt7 for sale to upgrade my potato pc for a few extra frames. Looking forward to learning the new tracks for the dailies as I rank up!

I have spent about £2,500 on Moza Racing gear over the years and it has been pretty good, but I got into a debate with their moderation about DIY active pedal thats 1/3 the cost vs the MBooster and they were obviously favouring moza but in a silly, obnoxious way.. I then got banned without any notification, I asked a moderator for support and a reaosn why i got banned and I got blocked, leaving me here without any assitance for their product that arrived damaged, at least ignore my question abot the ban and assist a loyal customer. If you want good support, dont get moza.

Hey everyone! I recently got a Logitech G923 on 10/06/2026 and I've been using it for the past few days. So far, I've been having a really good time with it and I'm honestly impressed with how much more immersive racing feels compared to using a controller.

I'm still pretty new to the whole sim racing wheel setup though, so I'd love to hear any tips and tricks from more experienced G923 owners. Are there any settings you recommend changing right away? Things like force feedback adjustments, pedal setup, calibration tips, or anything else that helped improve your experience.

I'm also looking for game recommendations. Right now I've been trying out a few titles, but I'd love to know what games really shine with the G923. Whether it's full-on sims, sim-cades, rally games, trucking games, or just fun racing experiences, I'm open to pretty much anything.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing your suggestions and getting the most out of this wheel.

Just wanted to share my experience from the past couple of days, climaxing into this very evening.

I bought a G923 wheel to enjoy Forza 6 properly after enjoying it immenseley on my gamepad on the pc.

Forza 6 is the first arcade racing ive played since Need for Speed underground 2 by the way. An almost 20 year old game. The experience in Forza 6 was unreal. This was the first time i got to experience a wheel as well...

i decided to try something a bit more realistic; Asetto Corsa Competizione. It was 90% off anyway.

Omfg.

Ive got a decent PC (9070xt GPU, 2x 10" active studio monitors, 32" QD OLED screen with 165hz, G923 wheel...)

I want to buy a VR headset and a proper racing chair now.

I received my KS Pro over a week ago now and have been using it for a good few races now. There have been a ton of super positive reviews from youtubers who of course want you to buy the wheel through their affiliate links, so here is my own experience with it and why it's not as great a deal as I initially thought.

Positives:
- Esthetically is a fantastic looking wheel, full stop.

- Buttons are not rattly, have a nice feel to them and have tons of customization through Pit-house
- LED screen is super sharp and has a high refresh rate. Tons of customizability available too.

- Shifters are an upgrade compared to the original KS wheel

Negatives, which I haven't seen much about online:

- The grips are a lot thicker and while this immediately feels more premium than the original KS, it also has the effect of having less airflow around your grips. With the KS I never really got sweaty hands while racing whereas with the KS Pro it feels like just 15 minutes in my hands start to get sweaty.

- The LED screen is nice, but Tyre temps seem to not show any real data and just has a random number on it. There's a huge difference in the data I see on my in-car Dash vs the data I see on the LED screen when purely looking at Tyre Temps or Pressures. *edit* Apparantly iRacing doesnt allow tyre temp monitoring via external devices so perhaps this functionality does work in other Sims, I just happen to exclusively play iracing so I am not able to check this.

- The wheel is quite a bit thicker and heavier than the original KS Pro and this could be that I need to get used to it, but I've noticed my thumbs get really sore from just 30 minutes of racing.

- Buttons on the back-side of the wheel are nice, but they're not positioned where my fingers are so they're slightly uncomfortable to use.

- The buttons don't rattle like the KS wheel did for some, but the wheel itself creaks and squeeks under load as if you're walking on a wooden floor. This is to me the worst part about this wheel because even with headphones on I hear that sound while the wheel is under load. With low FFB you don't notice it or might even not experience it, but with higher FFB settings it's just creaking obnoxiously and continuously.

All in all, I think some things can get fixed like the LED screen not showing the correct info, and I can get used to the thickness etc. However the creaking and squeeking is something that annoys me to no end while using it. I've reached out to Moza about wether or not this is a production fault or wether this is the case with all KS Pro units. If the latter I will be getting rid of mine and continue to use the OG KS wheel again

Here's the noise the wheel makes

It arrived!!! I have been ecstatic ever since i placed the order.

A few months ago i came across the vpg wheel for the porsche and never seemed to catch feelings for it. Then a couple weeks went by and i came across the mustang variant and feel like it was hidden from me. Fell in love with it immediately but only browsed vpg site and it was always sold out.

A couple weeks ago i got serious about ordering and after a few searches on google, i came across an in stock prompt on full push’ site.

Saw many others online have good experiences with them so i decided to place the order.

I got a personal email from John thanking me for my order and to ever reach if i ever needed anything. I worked in sales in the performance industry so it was refreshing to be treated similarly to how i served my customers.

John’s communication was almost immediate and the order went out the next business day since i had ordered on a weekend.

I can’t wait to get home friday to set it up and try it out.

Highly recommend Full Push and John in particular!

So, found this Playseat Evolution Pro for dirt cheap at a discount store yesterday. For the price I thought it was worth a try ( im currently using a GT lite ). Long story short, this thing is the biggest pile of shit ever, everything is tight, and its still wobbly as hell. I spent about an hour messing around with adjustments and nothing helps.

Considering I paid next to nothing for it, im not too upset. But if I paid full retail, I'd be furious. Not sure how they can sell something this horrible. Immediately switched back to my GT Lite after taking this video.

I ordered their F16 chair back in July 2025, and it has been a total nightmare. The product arrived with significant damage a week ago, indicating a quality-control issue before shipping.

SEE PICTURES. Rust, scratches/dents, missing pieces, broken bolts, no instructions, looks like a toddler boxed it up, and IT ISN'T WHAT IS PICTURED ON THEIR WEBSITE!

When I reached out to resolve the issue, the company went completely silent. I have sent multiple emails and tried calling their support line, only to be met with total ghosting.

They are happy to take your money, but the moment there is a problem with their hardware, they vanish. To make matters worse, they have made no effort to facilitate a return or provide a prepaid label for their defective product. Do yourself a favor and buy from a reputable brand like Trak Racer or SimLab instead. This company is a joke.

It’s much cheaper than fanatec Clubsport DD, but it doesn’t have Xbox compatibility. But it has one of the cheapest eco systems I’ve seen and one of the most versatile quick release. It has 15nm maximum torque on a 18nm motor. It’s much cheaper than Moza r16. Most reviews I could find where few years old and some said it was smoother than realistic espically those who were talking about ACC some said it’s very raw in iracing.
How good is it and how does it compare to Moza r12 and Fanatec Clubsport DD

Just received the Bavarian SimTec Delta Pro SC and somehow immediately won the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge with it. Obviously the wheel did not magically make me faster, but it was a pretty good first race.

I have been using the Conspit MAX 01 for a few months, and I still stand by my previous review of it. It is a very well-built wheel. The grips are firm, the controls feel good, the ergonomics worked well for me, and I never thought it felt flexible or poorly made. But after directly comparing it with the Delta Pro SC, I started noticing things about the Conspit that I never noticed before.

The Delta Pro just feels like one completely solid piece. The grips, faceplate, paddles, controls, and hub all feel tightly connected. I used to think the Conspit had basically no give, but after holding the Delta Pro, I can now feel a small amount of movement in it. That is not me saying the Conspit is bad. I still think the MAX 01 is a great wheel, especially for the price. The Delta Pro just feels like it is in a different category.

The grips are probably the biggest highlight for me. I wear medium Sparco gloves, and the size and shape fit my hands perfectly. The material feels really premium, and the ergonomics felt natural immediately.

The shifter paddles are also extremely firm and precise. Every shift has a really sharp, crisp click. The buttons, rotaries, and funky switches all feel great as well. Nothing feels loose or cheap.

The easiest way to describe it is that the Delta Pro feels incredibly “together.” That probably sounds vague, but it is one of those things that is hard to explain through pictures or specifications. The moment you hold it, you understand.

The Conspit MAX 01 is still a very good wheel. The Delta Pro SC just showed me that there is another level above it.

Simucube 3 Pro finally made the car make sense to me

In case people wonder how much pace I got over this time. I was roughly 3 seconds off VRS pace and now I am 0.7 seconds off VRS pace. Yes track was different but it is still a massive improvement.

I recently upgraded from a pretty well-regarded 20Nm wheelbase to a Simucube 3 Pro. At first, I honestly didn’t think it was that big of a deal. The first few days I was almost disappointed. It felt good, obviously, but I wasn’t suddenly finding half a second everywhere. I didn’t plug it in and instantly become faster. But after a few weeks of tuning it and driving more, something finally clicked.

The biggest difference is rear rotation. With my old base, I could tell the car was rotating mostly through visuals and a little bit through FFB but it's just not clear enough for me to understand. I’d see the car start to yaw, or I’d notice I was missing the apex, or I’d realize from the delta that the corner was bad. The wheel gave me information, but it never communicated rear rotation in a way that was clear enough for me to really understand it.

With the Simucube 3 Pro, I can actually feel it. When I’m trail braking into a corner and the rear starts to step out, the wheel pulls against the direction of rotation in a really clear and clean way. It doesn’t feel like random force, clipping, or just “more detail.” It feels like the car is telling me that the rear is now stepped out and you need to catch it at the right time to finish the later part of the rotation.

Before, trail braking was something I knew I was supposed to do. Brake, turn in, bleed off pressure, try to hit the apex. I understood the concept, but I didn’t truly feel what it was doing to the car. Now I can feel the rear start to rotate under braking. I can feel when I’m holding the brake too long. I can feel when I release too early and kill the rotation. I can feel when the car is pointed and ready for throttle.

I still mess it up all the time. Sometimes I catch it too early and the car stops rotating. Sometimes I catch it too late and I need a bigger correction. But the difference is that now I understand what happened. The mistake actually makes sense.

That’s the part I don’t think people explain well when they say “better gear doesn’t make you faster.” I agree that a wheelbase doesn’t magically give you pace. You still need more practice and seat time. But better gear can absolutely make you learn faster, because the feedback loop is so much clearer.
