Worth it!

@marble25 Жыл бұрын

What about the brake firmware, can you make it fully linear? How it normally works is until you get to the rubber it's like 50% brake or something, but when you press through the bumper you get 100% brake, which is not great to control the car.

This review starts of with the brake. Simple fix is to use the logitech app and adjust the brake and gas for your likings. Then ... this wheel is the absolute best to buy for the low price atm. The force feedback isnt that strong, but i play assetto corsa sonetimes. And man.. that feedback is enough ! Keeps the gaming casual but very very realistic. Ill buy a more heavy duty one in the future, but for now this wheel is the best thing i ever bought.

If buying second hand be aware how to clean the potentiometers in the pedals. The elastic band is a mod to use the shifter sequentially and not to ‘stop it ratting’. One thing I would agree on is don’t spend over 150 on one.
