Fanatec CSL Elite Wheel and pedals review for PS4 - Is this the best bundle right now?

Ойындар

Fanatec has the CSL as the entry level point to their ecosystem. Both the pedals and the Wheelbase make for an interesting option for simracers willing to get in or upgrade.

    This was a great review much appreciated, you went into great detail and you explained for things that others didn’t thank you. I just got me pedals and load cell yesterday and I’m waiting for the wheel and base for the PS4. I have a G29 and I can’t wait to set the CSL Elite up. I love how I can buy things separately and mix things up like different pedals or wheel rims.

    @@iamzeusandthisisthetruth4229 I have been using the CSL elite with Load Cell 2 months now and I absolutely love it more than my G29. The load cell does take some getting used to it’s definitely different than the G29 brakes. But if you do go load cell, give it some time to get the hang of it. The Steering wheel feels great immediately in my opinion. I also purchased the GT omega wheel stand because the load cell is a much stronger brake so that can really help with load and stuff when pressing down on the pedal. Overall I really love my CSL elite over my G29. The quality is really good and worth the upgrade.

    One thing I will say is that it took a lot more work with my TS-PC racer to make it feel as smooth and nice as the fanatec offerings. I don't know what the difference really is but the fanatec wheels are super smooth compared to the Thrustmaster. I always need dampening on a thrustmaster wheel whereas the fanatec ones are just smooth out of the box.

    I have this wheel and pedal set w the load cell. I’ve been using it for over a year and I’m mostly very happy with it. A few things to note however: the right (upshift) paddle lost that nice positive click after about 6 months of almost daily use. It still functions but the click is gone. Also, I purchased the Fanatec shifter and the 6 pin connector in the back of the wheel constantly loses the connection/will randomly disconnect to the point that I don’t bother trying to hook it up anymore. Lastly, the rubber spacers on the load cell tend to split if you really stomp on the brake and after half a dozen emails trying to order replacements, Fanatec stopped responding and I gave up. Still very much enjoy using the wheel but definitely some issues with build quality and customer support.

    I have a 'click' story to tell. My shifters only had one side that had the nice positive click from the moment I got it out of the box. I contacted Fanatec and sent them a small video clip of the problem. They seemed to be treating me like I would come to expect for someone who had just spent near on £1000 with them and they asked me to return it for repair. I was impressed; I had heard horror stories about the customer service of Fanatec but so far so good. Fast forward to receiving my wheel back only to find that instead of repairing the non clicking paddle they took the decision to remove the click from the working side. I was (and still am after 4/5 months) fuming at them and got in touch with them straight away. They then took the line that the paddles should in fact not click and that the click was the fault!! On their website it advertised the click as a feature. I was told I could get a refund or live with it. Fanatec make some pretty good products but it is absolutely crystal clear that there is a level of banditry in the way that they do business and how they treat their customers. Caveat emptor.

    @@SeeWildlife Hi Matt, I've looked up your case on our system, and we did not 'remove the click' from the working side, we replaced the entire steering wheel. It is possible that your original unit had an unusually pronounced 'click' on one side, and that the one you received as a replacement is a more normal example. But you should be receiving new communication from the support team today to discuss this further.

    @@domb_fanatec2826 excellent Dom, thanks for keeping up the same story. I know you replaced the wheel. For one that has no clicks. I suspect whatever mechanism (Snapdome™?) Isn't up to scratch and rather than find something robust enough to replace failed or failing units you just quietly remove the thing altogether. Zero effect on functionality but a great loss to satisfaction when shifting. 'Customers won't suspect a thing' is how I imagine the proposed solution at the Fanatec meetings went.

Calibrate button you can find on your driver's window (I think it is a second tab, or when you enter config menu on steering wheel press both jogs in position when you think it is 0. I had that issue and it requires a quite few calibrations as during calibration your hands will try to turn a wheel a little bit.

    @@Spike00773 isnt it just preference? by your logic my braking would be better with my left foot than my right foot since my left is the dominant one, however i have way more feeling in my right foot when it comes to driving cars. its all just preference imo.

    Well, he probably has never driven a race car so he probably just sets it up the way he actually drives everyday to make it comfortable. It's like saying, "Hey, most race cars drive around a race track outside. You have your rig set up in a room in your house. That's wrong." We're just grown men playing video games with a wheel. There's no right or wrong way to do it.

    If you can’t write a coherent sentence then just stick to watching and not commenting, that’s all you’re good for. 🤪
