Probably the biggest issue in is it looks like a toy. I used to think Dave Cam putting looks above everything else was short sighted. But he's actually right. I couldn't imagine looking at this thing every day.

Glad I’m not the only one thinking it looks a bit toyish 😅 Can’t really put my finger on it, but there’s just something about the way it looks that screams “cheap plastic toy” while it’s actually quite a pricey product…

I'm sorry but your driving position is the funniest thing every time I see it😆

How can you be confused as to what type of sim racer it should be recommended for. The answer is you. You're the perfect example. The desk pilot that isn't going to get a cockpit any time soon if ever.

Good point but at that price point for a desk racer I’d rather have a 5nm wheel and v3 pedals

​@@DJYeeJay well if u refer to the c5, which im using right now as well. That is not a 5nm by any means. Its more like a 9nm. Cammus claims 5nm of holding torque which is different to the 5nm csl dd where fanatec claims 5 nm of peak torque. I have had the csl dd as well, the c5 is stronger than the csl dd with 8nm boostkit.

@@SIMRIG412 nope. When torque is calculated, the rim diameter is put in equation. On top of that the rim of the c5 is 278mm and very heavy as the motor is built into the rim, the fanatec f1 rim that i have had is a tiny 265mm and very light, yet the c5 is stronger than fanatec csl dd 8nm with formula rim.

You haven't mentioned the accelerator pedal lag. Several reviewers have mentioned it, unless they fixed it through software updates, but there has been lots of complaints that sometimes the gas pedal sticks or doesn't register any input if you blip the pedal, which could be a massive issue for manual cars.

I did see that actually when I would plug in the wheel the first time I would press the gas it would go only from 0-100 just for the first pump. Didn’t think much of it at the time and I don’t think I experienced it in a race but if that is a regular thing that’s not good at all

Thank you! Definitely gonna save up for a higher-end wheel, as I'm not the budget person, and would rather build my setup really well over a longer time myself. Very well done, non-biased, and overall great quality and editing!

7:38 Preach. I've had so many people try to argue with me about this kind of thing in sim racing, "It isn't realistic" or "You don't need that much information". Yes, we absolutely do need that additional information because we aren't actually sitting in a car feeling the g-forces, so all of that has to be applied in different manners to translate what the car is doing to us by other means.

sure, but if it’s a matter of “used g27 or nothing at all” i’d much rather have a cheap (but decent) wheel than nothing. you can absolutely still be fast with less information

I think boostedmedia said it perfectly it seems like it was put together to look more value for bucks when sitting next to a Logitech or Thurstmaster on shelf.

Funny, you said the vibration motor is the most important thing on the CSP V3, I can barely feel them, especially the brake one. Nice video, I think this bundle is a great deal for anyone starting out. Miles better than a g29 or thrustmaster equivalent considering that you get a load cell pedal.

My issue is that you can get better hardware for roughly the same price or less. A Cammus C5 and Cammus LC100 pedal set will only set you back around $550-600 and will give you a better overall experience. Sure, you'll lack the button box, but how many people just getting into sim racing are going to be focused on the button box? If it's a must have "feature" you can pickup a better quality button box relative cheap. So, for $700-800, you end up with a setup that won't require any future upgrades and is less likely to break due to cheap materials.

Good review! Personally, one thing i don't really understand is how the hell people manage to use load cell pedals without hard mounting? I use a NLR 2.0 and even then because I'm in an office chair that isn't as rigid at the back as a hard mounted racing seat would be, it can be a slight struggle sometimes.

@DJYeeJay

Ай бұрын

Wayyyyy under calibrate it. It’s not ideal. In fact I actually don’t use my normal v3 pedals as load cells lol but that’s what I’m used to. For ovals it tends to help me anyways because I can be more precise between 0-20% braking specifically

If it was 349$-449$!!!!!!! Would be a price I think would grab more attention.

The pedals and button box are made with especially cheap materials but the construction quality with what it’s got seems solid enough to me. I’d probably be able to have a more definitive answer after racing with it for a longer period of time.

I feel like if they downgrade the pedals, maybe remove the button box, and price it as a bit more expensive option with Direct drive and a cool hud to the G923 it could potentially have a niche.

Why

The VelocityOne is "overhated"....but mostly because of the hardcore sim racing crowd that thinks everyone should have to drop thousands of dollars to get into sim racing.

You saying this lacks detail compared to the C5 (which is also known to lack finer details) outlines exactly why other reviewers have had negative opinions of this kit. With your limited experience with DD wheelbases I totally get why you don’t understand the hate this gets. It’s very sub par for a dd wheelbase. The wheel is ok but quite cheap and plasticy. The pedals loadcell is a weak joke, accel and clutch are unreliable. The button box is so cheap and weak it makes people avoid using it. The screen hardly works in any games and lacks any real configurability. You’re infinitely better off with an old phone connected via usb and running sim hub. They didn’t do sufficient market research for the product. They didn’t know what they were doing or the market they were going for. The only people that will buy this are those that make a quick impulse buy in store and end up regretting it.

I've watched nearly every review (I'm sure there's more reviews now) of this set and there were a lot of complaints about lacking compatibility, functions either not working reliably or functions not working at all. 1 reviewer tried to update the firmware on his unit and ended up bricking it. I don't recall any review where the biggest complaint was a lack of fine detail. The feedback from the C5 is actually quite realistic, which is arguably more important than "finer details".... If I can't feel it in a real race car, I shouldn't feel it in a DD wheel either.
