Product Information

With the introduction of much lower-powered and cheaper direct drive wheels throughout 2021 and 2022, console compatibility has also been expanded. Both Fanatec and Thrustmaster have been in the sim racing world for a long time, and they are both slightly higher-end options for sim racers. They have their similarities and their differences, and these can help you to decide which brand is the one to go for. Note: Below, we’ll give the best options for various experience levels, and then go into more detail on the absolute best offered by each brand Summary Of Fanatec

The Basherboards CPX Adapter V2 is compatible with the following sim racing devices, allowing you to combine any of the following; If you're on a tighter budget, fear not. The best racing wheels can be found across a wide variety of budget scopes, and we've endeavored to include both affordable and more premium setups. Still, it's worth thinking about the kinds of games you're going to play with a racing wheel. The best racing games that benefit most from a wheel setup are those with more realistic or sim-like elements. Fanatec also offer several pedal options, and they come in at a higher price point than those of Thrustmaster. However, they do come with extra features such as built-in pedal vibration, along with a lot of room for customization. This makes Fanatec pedals the ones to go for if you want more realism and more adjustability, but they are pricier. The 3 Best Fanatec Pedals 1. Fanatec CSL PedalsWith an out-runner motor, such as the ones used in Fanatec’s Podium wheel bases, the rotor is located on the outside of the stator. This allows out-runner motors to produce more torque at lower RPM. The ClubSport Steering Wheel Drift V2 for Xbox features an aluminum wheel rim with a diameter of 32 cm, wrapped in genuine smooth leather, and weighs 929 g. The wheel comes with the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox, ensuring compatibility with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on all connected Fanatec hardware. The hub is suitable for all Fanatec wheel rims and third-party rims using 6 x 70 mm or 3 x 50 mm bolt patterns, such as Sparco, MOMO, or OMP. ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5X There are good bits, sure, particularly the lower price. However, the Hori Apex (and the Hori Overdrive) is easily the most toy-like wheel in this group. It has plastic gear shifters, fairly cheap plastic pedals and no parts to upgrade. It also has very limited rotation compared with all the other wheels here, turning just 270 degrees rather than 900 or 1080. Tuning functions with OLED display to adjust settings independent from the game and during gameplay (see description of compatible wheel base/racing wheel for details)

Like others on this list, Hori offers two different wheels depending on the platform you're playing on. While the Hori Apex is for PS4, the Hori Overdrive is for Xbox One. Je conseille le Thrustmaster T300RS si vous voulez vous amuser ou même faire du simracing de façon sérieuse dans un budget limité. The Gran Turismo DD Pro (5 Nm) is a bundle that includes both the wheelbase and the steering wheel. So we have covered how to use Fanatec pedals with a Thrustmaster wheel. But what if you fancy doing things the other way around. What if you want to use Thrustmaster pedals with a Fanatec wheel. Fanatec ecosystem compatibility: Fully compatible with Fanatec’s range of steering wheels, pedals, shifters, and handbrakes Fanatec CSL DD Racing Wheel WRC for Xbox & PC (8 Nm) BundleWhile it’s not something I’ve ever used, the Moza Racing R9 does have wireless app control where you're able to make changes to the performance of your wheelbase in the Moza app rather than having to pull up their software on your PC. This is a cool quirk of the R9 that Fanatec doesn’t have. Those of you looking to invest in the Fanatec ecosystem for its ultra-realistic appeal might find the following information helpful to your decision making. Mclaren GT3 wheel by Fanatec ( review here) Multi-platform compatibility: Compatible with PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 (depending on the steering wheel used) So is a Fanatec racing wheel worth buying? I would certainly say they are in certain circumstances. You know that you are buying into an incredibly well-established and fleshed-out ecosystem with Fanatec. You have a wide choice of branded steering wheels and multiple sim racing pedals. Many owners end up wanting to upgrade the pedals after a while too. The pedal caps are metal, but this is really just a basic plastic construction, without the stiffness of a great board or more advanced features like a high-end progressive brake.

First, the G29 is more affordable than the direct Thrustmaster alternatives, the T300 series wheels. The quality of the wheel itself is great too.There’s a metal core and leather stitched over the parts your hands grip. Three-digit LED display smoothly integrated into the wheel rim below the RevStripe™ allows telemetry data such as speed or gears to be displayed in compatible games or third-party software The Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 wins the contest with it’s great build quality and tactile shifting mechanism. Bringing price into the picture, the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter isn’t terrible either. For someone just starting out, it offers a lot of features for a much lesser price.Ten years ago, brands such as Logitech were seen as the masters of the budget racing wheel, Thrustmaster occupied a middle ground between budget and high-end, while Fanatec sat towards the higher end of the price scale. Now, in 2023, the only Fanatec wheels you can buy (unless shopping second-hand) are direct drive wheels. And these are broken down into two categories; more accessible small-form-factor direct drive wheels, and larger, more expensive, high-performing wheels. Both the shifters work perfectly on PC when connected to wheelbase/pedals of the respective brands with the help of the included DIN cable. We are often asked if you can use Thrustmaster or Logitech wheels, pedals, shifters or other accessories in combination with Fanatec hardware. In general the devices of different vendors are not compatible to each other. Therefore, you cannot directly connect products from different companies to each other or at least this is not supported.
