Thinking of Buying a Cheap Racing Wheel? Don't Bother

Incredibly true! I wasted money my first time around by “saving” money on a cheaper steering wheel… That 270 deg rotation, no pedals, no gear shifter option, compatibility issues, etc all broke my experience. I could not get my truck to keep on a straight line properly even.

I forked out for the Logitech G29 wheel with pedals and shifter, and what a major difference. It is by no means a pro wheel, but it does everything I need and performances well enough to really enjoy the games i use it will. It is compatible with everything (including Linux) and has a couple of useful extra buttons and paddles to make the game experience great.

This wheel cost a bit more, but I've been using it for a good many years now without any issues.

So, like the title goes, really don't bother with a wheel that does not meet the basic requirements. A Logitech G29 is probably a good minimum benchmark to work from.
