    If it’s cheaper than the XCM F1 and doesn’t have deadzone issues then I’ll be interested.

    Looks like they are going for north of $100. That might make sense for a G27, but not for me.

    But in video you can see a great delay between action on wheel and reaction on screen. Not worth to buy it.

  • Clutch Norris

    Yep. It reminds me back in time when playing GT4 on my video capture device on PC, in worse. This was barely playable and this doesn’t look better at all unfortunately.

  • Professional Operator

    from the video I can see it’s FAR from being acceptable. Still need a lot of work.

  • Lemming77

    It’s hard to be sure when he’s using the third person camera. Even the most hardcore racing sims look more unresponsive in 3rd person than they actually are.

  • Lemming77

    I don’t see any signs of force feedback in the video. No jerks or anything on surface changes. Is it really there?

  • steve30x

    This would gave veen interesting when I had an Xbox 360 and a G25. It would be nice to see him use it with Forza Horizon though

    I’ve seen the video now, the deadzone looks awful.
