Light carbon construction and direct GT driving feel, with my reservations about thin grips, buttons and labels.
Read the review
Written review + videoMOZA Vision GS Wheel
Premium materials and excellent paddles impressed me. The round display was fun to customise, but its position, early rotation behaviour and the 310 mm size were less suited to my driving preferences.
Read the review
Written review + videoMOZA CRP2 Pedals
I liked the tidy baseplate, quiet throttle and range of brake settings. Stiffer brake configurations were harder to change than “tool-free” suggests, and the faces could be slippery in ordinary socks.
Read the review
Written review + videoSim-Lab Mercedes-AMG F1 Wheel
A light, rigid wheel that made driving the Mercedes in iRacing feel special. The luxury price, extended mounting hub and missing sim-specific controls deserve just as much attention.
Read the review
Written review + videoQubic System QS-BT1 Belt Tensioner
Braking tension, cornering cues and satisfying gear changes transformed my stationary rig. Getting the harness, seat and force settings right took more work than the software installation.
Read the review
Written review + videoAscher Racing McLaren Artura Ultimate
Excellent buttons, satisfying paddles and a practical 300 mm shape made this a favourite during my review. The compact grips, USB setup and usefulness of the screen still depend on your rig.
Read the review
Written review + videoSG Racing Sequential Shifter Pro V2
A strong, mechanical shift action and solid metal construction made this my favourite sequential shifter at the time. The exposed wiring and unusual knob attachment were the details I wanted refined.
Read the review
Written review + videoMOZA R3 Xbox Bundle
A compact wheelbase and useful desk package made the R3 approachable. I wanted more force, a larger-feeling wheel and quieter paddles, so its appeal depends on what you expect from a first setup.

Written review + videoSlip-Angle Four-Corner 200W Shaker Kit
The spring-mounted kit gave me cleaner, more convincing effects than my existing ButtKicker setup. Front-to-rear feedback worked well; distinguishing every individual corner was harder.
Read the review
Written review + videoAsetek Forte Button Box and Wheels
Comfortable interchangeable rims and plenty of useful controls made this a practical addition to an Asetek rig. Rim changes took a few minutes, and the small, muted paddles were not my favourite.
Read the review
Written review + videoAsetek Invicta S Pedals
The separated pedals made positioning easier, but the original Invicta’s firm, short-travel brake remained a very particular experience. I appreciated its control while still preferring more flexibility in my own long-term setup.
Read the review
Written review + videoGETAIL G1 Hub Extension
A slim wheelbase extension helped me lower the displays on two rigs and improve the cockpit view. The practical result impressed me, even though I preferred the cleaner finish of Simcore’s alternatives.
Read the review
Written review + videoAsetek Forte Formula Wheel
The original Forte Formula was rigid, comfortable and packed with useful controls. Its quick release impressed me, but the soft paddle action and plastic feel left me wanting more at the price.
Read the review
Written review + videoAsetek Invicta 27Nm Wheelbase
Smooth, sharp force feedback and an excellent quick release made the Invicta a strong alternative to my Simucube bases. Mounting, wheel positions and the cost of adapters still mattered to the complete setup.
Read the review
Written review + videoSimucube 2 Ultimate Wheelbase
The Ultimate sharpened the experience I already enjoyed with my Pro. I loved its response and build quality, but I would still have found the price difficult to justify with my own money.
Read the review
Written review + videoSimucube Throttle Damper
The optional damper made my throttle movements feel more controlled and closer to the hydraulic feel I enjoyed on my earlier pedals. The harder question was whether that improvement justified the extra cost.

Written review + videoSimucube Valo GT-23
A comfortable GT rim, quiet paddles and solid construction made the Valo enjoyable to drive. At its premium price, I still wanted button labels, more flexibility and lighting that fitted my existing workflow.
