Stay strong, Dave! I love your videos and you seem like a good person. My sister unexpectedly died, too; and it hurt unimaginably. It did take me a while to really look and notice how my sister was still with me in different ways. Sometimes, it is as simple as, I swear, I hear her telling me what is a good or bad decision. In some subtle way I become aware of what she taught me as her sibling. 😀 I'm praying that you experience the same joy and that you realize your brother is in a place where things around us will not hurt him. Remembering that helps me focus on other things, and I want to share that with you, Dave. Please keep up your good work, I wanted to tell you this before I watch today's video. ✝️

Hello Dave, thanks for this review, nice and informative as always! But - how other could it be - a little remark from my side. I‘d like to see this wheel in action, more shots, footage of it. You mentioned that every button is reachable, but although you said so I „doubt“ it as the lower ones seem to be a little bit too low to reach with your thumbs. Something a video would‘ve shown. Then the colors of the buttons, are they changeable? You mentioned the weight, why not provide some specs? :) I know, you said it in the disclaimer, you‘re not a reviewer but a simracer, but I think that these reviews from your side will increase! You‘re famous :) and a good, trustworthy guy… so maybe keep these things in the back of your head for further reviews. All the best to you!

I don't care about specific weights. I'm a racer, and as long as something 'fits' then I like it. I give a sim racers perspective and have never gone into specific detail. The majority of sim racers probably care about what I care about. I'm not interested in doing 'reviews', and this isn't one 😁

Hi Svennix, it's mainly because of the config mode and also Nextion uses a lot let PC resources than the others. Also, setting up the Nextion is easier than USBD and VoCore thanks to our new wheel configurator software. It sets everything (including LEDs profile in one click). The real difference is that you have to wait 45s to load the dash into the wheel but on the other side you have already 15 dashboards and we release a new one every 3-ish weeks. :)

@@CaseyM7 A Vocore or USBD480 screen is more versatile, it allows 100% control from simhub. The dash is running on the PC and data is send to the screen instead of it fully running on the screen itself limiting what you can do (limited by storage). For example 1 big iracing dash profile made by Yoep has a lot of different cars in 1 dashboard like all GT3's, all GT4's, some TCR's and a lot of open wheel cars. It automatically switches it for you when you jump in a other car. This is sadly not possible with Nextion. Might be a minor thing for some, but for me it isn't.
