My desk setup also has a keyboard tray. While it was almost in the way (2mm space to spare) my desk had a different problem: the weight :P . My desk sagged down a bit tooo much :P . (I will add that was merely to test a custom-wheel build in which an Arduino mimicks a Fanatec Porsche wheel so a real truck wheel mounted to it has force-feedback.) The table clamp also irked me out a bit given how far forward it was hanging out of the desk by the way :) . As for the pedals: I always experienced problems with pedals, because my floor is a hardwood kind. The Fanatec pedals stayed in place as much as the G-pedals: It worked for a while until the rubbery pads started collecting dust. They have been mounted angled backwards ever since (to resemble bus and truck setups a bit more) and fixed to a piece of wood that hooks over the wheelcross of my deskchair so that they can't run away :P .

Thanks for this comment! Very informative and my experience has been similar. My next addition to the setup is going to be a small foldable cockpit that I can put away easily. Hopefully that makes things more secure.👍

Thank you, you resolved my problem.

Hey @mikemike9904! The base is pretty heavy. I'd say it's a little heavier than a Logitech G29. The claim has to be purchased separately, but it's working pretty good for me - no issues.

SPEND the money and get the 8nm! There is a difference between 5nm and 8nm. You feel more of the road surface and what's happening under the car than you do with the 5nm. The 8nm doesn't add much to the max torque of the wheel, but definitely will boost all the other small effects from the road surface. You can feel curbs a lot better with the 8nm also. The 8nm isn't there to rip the wheel out of your hand, it's there to enhance what's already great. And boy does it. Money well spent. Just get the 8nm CSL DD with the WRC wheel and Fanatec will send you 2 180 power supplies. You then have a backup or you can sell it. Also the Next Level Racing Wheelstand 2.0 works awesome for a desk setup. It will tuck under your desk, and you can move it if you want to. It's pretty heavy actually with everything attached to it. But it's super sturdy and doesn't move at all, and it has a lot of adjustability to it. The tray for the wheels of a desk chair is ingenious. I run the Fanatec CSL Elite Pedals V2 with the stiffest brake pedal I can get, and the wheel stand with my Secret Labs chair doesn't budge when I get on the braked hard. Best $235 I spent. And plus you can just get the seat add on later if you want to from Next Level Racing.

This is the best comment I have ever received on a video. THANK YOU! 🙏

Long story short, you have a desk and you hate the wheel because of that and then you play Forza Horizon, a game which doesn't even need a fancy wheel such as the Fanatec and just casually say 8nm isn't needed. Play a racing sim, not mario go kart if you want to enjoy the wheel and it's full benefits. Also, more nm means better detail on the car's behaviour, not just the strength of the wheel.

Not sure you watched very attentively. 1. I love the wheel, don't hate it. 2. FH5 is a great game on a wheel it is a great balance between simulation and arcade. Many people are playing it with a variety of different wheels including CSL and Moza. 3. CLS DD is NOT a fancy wheel; it is an entry level wheel. 4. Point about 8nm is for people coming from non DD systems for whom 5nm is totally fine to start and 8nm should not be viewed as a huge advantage offered by this system as sometimes advertised considering you have to pay extra for it. Thanks for watching the video!

Hi, I received my fanatic cal dd 8nm a couple of days ago. I have a gt omega rig so mounted it all on that. However it wasn’t straight forward. I had to drill some new holes on the rig so I could mount the pedals properly as the holes didn’t align as I want them to. Not fanatecs issue but still annoying. The most annoying part is that the fanatec stuff doesn’t come with any mounting bolts at all so had to go out and buy some 10mm bolts of various lengths to mount the dd base and the pedals. I didn’t opt for the desk mount as I read lots of bad reviews about it. All said, these are not fanatec issues and I bloody love it. I too came from a Logitech and wish I did the upgrade a lot sooner.
