Fanatec produces some of the best-licensed wheel rims on the market, yet they come at a price. SimuCube boasts much more customisability, and a wider range of steering wheels to choose from. In comparison, other racing wheels utilise smaller motors with a series of gears or belts which link the motor to the steering wheel. The Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel is also compatible with both PS5 and Xbox consoles. Although there are two versions of the Pro Racing Wheel, so you do have to choose between either Xbox or PlayStation compatibility. Cross-brand compatibility
Finally, you could look at buying into an Open Sim Wheel setup. This is where the technical barrier increases greatly. Open Sim Wheel setups have you purchasing the different components individually, and then creating a custom wheel base setup. This process is very similar to building your own custom PC. MOZA produce one of the best steering wheels we have ever raced with within their respective price ranges. I’m looking at the FSR Formula steering wheel here! And that steering wheel alone is worth considering MOZA when purchasing a direct drive wheel base for PC. Read our head to head DD1 vs DD2 comparison, for more detail on how the two most powerful Fanatec racing wheels compare.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.
There’s a solution, but it’s not cheap. These wheels are actually part of a system – you can get other steering wheels and more advanced pedalboards, the T3PA and the fab T3PA Pro. There’s even a manual gearbox if you want a proper old-school driving feel. In terms of installation, the aluminium adapter ring included with the module facilitates mounting to wheel rims, ensuring a secure fit without introducing flex or play in the steering system. The module’s connectivity is versatile, supporting integration with various Fanatec Hubs through the DataPort-C connector. They also follow a similar form factor in the sense that they're both small cubes. With direct drive bases coming in all shapes and sizes, these two are both small and compact. The performance of Fanatec wheels has generally been considered as fantastic and among the best within the sim racing market. Before 2020, Fanatec’s products were divided into two categories; high-end direct drive wheels, and cheaper belt-driven wheels. Both the CSL DD and GT DD Pro create 5Nm in their base form. However, both come with an optional Boost Kit which increases this strength to 8Nm.

Je conseille le Thrustmaster T300RS si vous voulez vous amuser ou même faire du simracing de façon sérieuse dans un budget limité. The two cheaper MOZA direct drive wheels are heavily designed to compete with Fanatec’s small direct drive lineup, and they do so incredibly well. In terms of performance, the AccuForce Pro V2 is a plug-and-play wheel base that can sustain 13Nm of torque. As I’ve said before in this guide, this really is around the sweet spot of performance. When compared side by side, the Fanatec CSL Elite is far superior to the Thrustmaster TX, however the price does reflect this. If you are in the position where you are upgrading from a budget wheel such as the Logitech G29, we would recommend spending a little more and buying the Fanatec. Brake pedal spring is stiffer than throttle pedal spring, PU foam damper adds additional resistance for progressive braking feel
The other option is the Fanatec Podium F1 racing wheel. This is a much more premium direct drive wheel. It includes the DD1 wheel base which can produce up to 20Nm of peak torque. This is over double the strength of the GT DD Pro. Wir werden oft gefragt, ob man Thrustmaster- oder Logitech-Racing Wheels, -Pedale, -Schalthebel oder anderes Zubehör in Kombination mit FANATEC-Hardware verwenden kann.He is looking at upgrading again, but he is very reluctant to invest in either of these companies because of his past issue and the constant negative comments we can find online. I tell him to go straight to DD but he is not willing to spend that amount at this time.
Thrustmaster have a range of wheel bases with slight variation between console. For example, if you are looking for an Xbox compatible wheel base you will want to go for the Thrustmaster T300 RS. Whereas if you wanted a PS4 wheel base you have the Thrustmaster TX. Both of these products are relatively similar in most aspects. Thrustmaster have done this to cater for each console’s own architecture. Fanatec ecosystem compatibility: Fully compatible with Fanatec’s range of steering wheels, pedals, shifters, and handbrakes Fanatec Steering Wheels Each pedal’s position is adjustable to make it the most comfortable fit for you and your sim racing setup. They are a fantastic set of pedals and for the price they have some impressive adjustability. The brake pedal feels great and pedal travel in general is smooth and consistent, but it’s not as precise as a load cell. Fanatec vs Thrustmaster: AccessoriesFanatec ecosystem compatibility: Fully compatible with Fanatec’s range of steering wheels, pedals, shifters, and handbrakes CSL DD (5Nm or 8Nm with Boost Kit) Two flag FlagLEDs each with three multi-colour LEDs each to indicate tyre slip, flag warnings, pit limiter, and more, as games program through the Fanatec SDK This direct drive racing wheel sits at the top of SimuCube’s lineup, and produces an eye-watering 32Nm of torque! To complete the wheel, an Advanced Paddle Module and Button Module Endurance, also available to buy from Fanatec’s Podium line, allowed drivers to change gears and select driving modes as they would in their actual cars. In previous years, it was a much closer debate with both companies offering belt-driven racing wheels, giving us a like-for-like comparison. However, Fanatec has seemingly outpaced Thrustmaster with their development of smaller, more accessible direct drive wheel bases.
