PXN PC Steering Wheel, V9 GEN2 Universal Usb Car Sim 270/900 Degree Race Steering Wheel with 3-Pedals and Shifter Bundle for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS3

Great entry level
Been using this racing wheel setup for about three weeks now on my PC and Xbox Series X, and for an entry level wheel it’s pretty solid. The setup took maybe 30 minutes – clamping the wheel base to my desk, attaching the pedals, and mounting the gear shifter. The clamps hold tight on my desk which is about 1.5 inches thick. The wheel itself has a nice leather-wrapped feel and the dual paddle shifters behind the wheel click satisfyingly when you use them. The 900 degree rotation is great for truck simulators, I’ve been playing Euro Truck and the full rotation makes it feel way more realistic than a controller. Switching to 270 degrees for racing games like Forza is easy with the physical button. The force feedback through the dual vibration motors gives decent road feel – you can sense when you’re losing traction or hitting rumble strips. Not as refined as higher end wheels but good for the price. The 6+1 gear shifter is a nice addition, shifts feel clunky in a good way like a real manual transmission. The hall effect pedals are responsive and the magnetic sensor technology means they should last longer than potentiometer based pedals. My one complaint with the pedals is they feel a bit lightweight and tend to slide on my carpet even with the anti-slip bottom – I ended up putting a heavy box behind them to keep them in place. The RGB lights on the wheel that react to throttle and brake input are a cool touch. The mobile app for customization works fine though the interface is a bit basic. Getting it working on Xbox requires connecting the original controller to the base which is slightly annoying but not a big deal. For someone getting into sim racing without dropping $300+ on a Logitech or Thrustmaster, this is a capable starter setup that punches above its price

Keeps disconnecting from Xbox
We set up with my son’s Xbox one. But it Keeps disconnecting. We tried reprogramming and resetting everything a few different times, but we continue to have this issue. I tried messaging the company on Christmas Day. Of course I’m sure they were closed, but it’s now the 29th and we haven’t gotten a response yet. Looks like this may have to be returned. Disappointed.

PC Steering Wheel
I used the USB cable to connect the wheel, then I accessed the settings for the Windows controller, and last I conducted the calibration procedure to verify that the wheel was centered and that each pedal had its entire range of motion. Following that, the most important work was done inside each game, which included mapping the primary controls, reducing dead zones, and ensuring that the steering rotation within the game corresponded to the wheel mode that I had chosen. After those fundamentals were established, the wheel remained unchanged, and I did not have to start over with everything each time I started a new game. Both the 270-degree and 900-degree steering choices bring about a meaningful shift in the experience. In arcade driving, rapid corrections seem natural since modest hand motions translate into fast direction changes. This is because the steering angle is 270 degrees. Whenever I am practicing drifting or weaving through traffic in Forza, which are both situations in which quick countersteering is important, I go to this mode. When I have 900 degrees, I am able to feed in steering gradually rather than making rapid inputs, which allows me to have more precise control throughout longer curves and complex areas. When I was recovering from a skid, I noticed the difference the most. In 900 degree mode, I was able to unwind the wheel in a fluid manner and catch the vehicle without having to overcorrect. Among all the components, the pedals were the ones that helped me improve my control the most. When approaching a curve or a segment that is very tight, having separate throttle and brake inputs makes the process of changing speed seem more deliberate. When I am competing in rally and road racing, I am able to relax my grip on the throttle early, gradually use the brakes, and then roll back into acceleration as the vehicle begins to straighten out. When I was using a controller, I had a tendency to poke at the triggers, which caused the vehicle to seem unsteady and resulted in additional errors. Even when I am not trying to break lap records, my inputs are smoother, and I am more consistent when I am using pedals. Not only did the third pedal help me practice cleaner starts, but it also comes in useful when I choose a manual gearbox in games that allow it.

A great deal and item.
