Im not huge on GT cars and wheels. I mostly use round wheels for my driving style. The unique style of the wheel did get me interested. I do find me using it a good bit and doing more time attacks and gt racing. The grip surface material has been holding up pretty good with bare hands and feels pretty good. Not as nice as suede tho. I do try to use gloves but never being huge on driving gloves. Its hard to get in the habit of using them. The buttons are not to hard to get used to but I still hit the wrong buttons a good bit. Most games I haven't been able to make use of the dials. Im surprised GT7 doesn't have native support for the wheel yet. I thought the uper ones had some decent support but I dont get any use out of them. Even mapping them on the PC can be hard to figure out a use for them. The plastic components of the wheel dont bother me. With the frame being an aluminum construction it feels solid. Having a center logo being an actual button is cool but wish I could use it to map it to an in game function like a horn. Probably could of made the screen have a button that could of been used to enter the tuning menu instead.
Great wheel, looks amazing and feels good in the hands with lots of feedback coming thru the wheel. Pro tip ware gloves inner stitching irritates the thumb without them.
I cannot speak enough good about this wheel. I have it paired with my GT DD Pro and QR2 and it is amazing. From the auto setting to customizing the wheel to fit your own demands this wheel delivers on every setting. The Tactaris material feels exactly like Alcantara and the geometry of the wheel makes for a decisive driving experience.
I bought this wheel when came out and it’s fantastic. Doesn’t flex at all, it’s beautiful in my opinion, shifter paddles are like real ones, a little too loud for me but fine. Thumb rotaries and the rest of buttons and encoders are very comfortable and work great. The grip is different from any other wheel and maybe not for everyone but I used in endurance races and my hands just ended without pain at all and I’m old. It’s comfortable because is not too thick or thin. The only concern is the upper part; there’s nothing wrong with it, but if you set the wheel to high it’s blocking a little the view of the screen, that’s all.
This has been my favorite wheel since I got it. I don’t even use the other wheels. Only one left to try that I want is the F1 v2.5 or v3. I would say this is a must have wheel. I have over 500 hrs on it with 0 issues
Very poor quality, flexes and cracks when in use and some of the rotary switches don't work on gt7, considering it is sold as a licenced product for this game is pretty poor, I am pretty disappointed.
