New Wheel

Ozzmcom · October 11, 2013

I've declared my beloved g25 dead today on 22:42,

even though I've spent all evening trying to fix the ff gear I couldn't work out what was the problem exactly.

Well anyway, I need a new wheel so suggestions?, discuss.

Wait and see what gets released along with the new consoles (if you can). Otherwise it all depends on your budget is?

What criteria is important to you? Do you want:

* Something that is compatible with PC, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbone?

* Brake pedal that uses a load cell?

* Adjustable settings on the wheel instead of in software (Fanatec)?

The way I see it, you could either play it safe and cheap and get a Logitech G27. Or you could take a bit more of a risk with Fanatec CSR/Clubsport products (if they're even available atm), or have a look at Thrustmaster, who seem to be taking over where Logitech left making gaming hardware products. They've got the T500RS (which is massive) and doesn't work with Xbox, and they've confirmed a new wheel is coming that works with the Xbone, but I'd still recommend waiting a few months to find out more about it and see if there is another wheel yet to be revealed.

yeah I'll probably wait and see, my budget is around g27 level. But of course a wheel that works with both consoles would be ideal.
