    It's nice to see DD wheels are coming down in price and advancing simracing technology. Even though I think belt driven wheelbases still have their place, but they need to be priced lower (~200-350 EUR). Low entry DD wheels 500-700 - which is already happening. And then the sky is the limit. I have my personal grievances with Fanatec (the firm) and their DD, I think 0.5DD is their way to get you hooked into their ecosystem. But anyhow, it's a good entry wheel for those who have tried simracing with lower tier wheel and fell in love with the hobby. SiMagic when it first came on my radar, I was excited to see more competition in DD space. And they continue to deliver. I love this channel. Smooth voice of Barry is almost ASMR brain therapy.

    Part of your issue with the "Notch" while passing center, is due to you going from a profile with 900° in Alpha Manager, to one with 1080° without re-calibrating the wheel in game. This will cause Linearity issues and can create a "Notch". This notchy feeling you experienced is only present in iRacing, no other game has this. This is due to the inferior 60hz signal coming from the game which needs a lot of Interpolation/Smoothing. This is also why this issue isn't present when using iRFFB. Every other game is smooth as silk, the hardware has no notches whatsoever. This is an iRacing issue in itself, which is why users tend to use iRFFB to clean things up and fill in the missing gaps. Anyway, Thanks for the Review, your Hardware section is great as always.

    I actually like the switch on the cord as my Fanatec DD1 switch doesn't turn my wheel off anymore and now I need to send the whole wheel base to Fanatec for repair, whereas if it was built into the cable, maybe there's a chance that the cable would just need to be swapped out. It could be apples and oranges for all I know...

Watch his reviews again, he always mentions the negative points, what he finds negative (subjectively), he always mentions it if something doesn't work for him, but it could work for someone else.

With the Alpha Mini it only states: "SIMAGIC ALPHA MINI - 1 Yr Warranty" and the SKU reads: "ALPHA_MINI". Someone REALLY needs to call them and find out if the WHEEL is indeed included or NOT! 🤔🤔🤔

Only complaint is I wish my grips weren't Alcantara (I dislike wearing gloves while gaming and I don't wanna have to take care of it so much.) Highly recommend it and remember to support more companies than just Fanatec! Only real problem I've heard of is that there is play within the optional mount they sell, which is unfortunate.

    Well, the Simagic has better compatibility with third party steering wheels (lower and higher quality compared with Fanatec wheels). It also has a better finished, wireless system (which fanatec doesn´t need and works as it would be wireless), much better quick release (this one is amazing), a very interesting controller software full of options, ... Fanatec has nice pros as well but I´d bet for Simagic.

    I've made an appointment with my local retailer to test this out (technically I've already decided I want to buy it). Is there a handy list of what each setting does in the app? I cancelled my pre-order for the CSL-DD. Shipping it in from Australia is going to add a few more hundred dollars in delivery and taxes, which destroys the whole value proposition. And I shudder at the thought of getting after sales support. With a Simagic local retailer, it's an easy choice for me.

    A big question here: did you ever manage to make the Simagic Alpha Mini work in Project cars 2 or Automobilista 2? It never works for me. Very difficult to even assign and calibrate, have to reduce the rotation to tiny angles. But even after that, in game there is 0 movement from the wheel. All the buttons are recognized, even axis of the paddles, but not the rotational axis. Tried with all settings I could on the Simagic software and in game, same result in both of those games.
