In my experience with Simon, he's a great guy with an even greater business. I have purchased much of my gear from him including several conversion kitts, QR's, and other accessories. He truly is an amazing person and a reliable guy that is constantly striving to improve the industry. A one man army. Glad you are giving his stuff a look.

I say logitech all things considered, the g25 pretty much set all this in motion. It was such a bomb for the market and the value was insane. But they didn't continue with the push... Fanatec and other companies sure helped forcing them to make a DD at last. But it feels like DD only just recently became accessible enough to be for a wider market.

The real crack to Fanatec will be when someone redesigns the flawed pin system to resemble the Logitech sprung pad system. No matter how many times the wheel goes on or off, you won't break any sprung pads as opposed to the pin design, which breaks if you sneeze. I'm genuinely astounded that Fanatec didn't release this for QR2.

Thank you for an interesting video. I think it's great to see this kind of products that allow us to cross-use the product. I'm also curious to see how one can use Fanatec wheel on a real car. Especially when Fanatec positions QR2 to be "a real wheel from a real race car". I think many of us have sim-racing wheels that are much better than the one used in our cars. It would be cool to see if it's possible to use Fanatec wheel in a real car.

What would be awesome is a small pass-through device that plugs between the wheel base and USB cable that includes console compatibility protocols. In my imagination, all it would do is include Playstation and Xbox compatibility keys, so for instance I could plug it into the back of my Xbox thrustmaster wheelbase and it would unlock the ability to use it on Playstation as if it was a Playstation wheelbase. Not a trick like the Raslution or Drivehub (i think it's called). This would make say the TS-XW into the Playstation equivalent. I think it's silly that these manufacturers that have separate products for Playstation and Xbox don't just make products that work for both right out of the box, especially since, at least in Fanatec's case it's the base that has Playstation compat and the wheel that has Xbox compat. Why not just make them all work for both?
@InfectedAI
10 ай бұрын
Legalities. Console licensing has specific terms and conditions with the console manufacturer not to mention licensing fees. IF they were allowed to make their bases compatible with everything, they would then have to increase the price of the products noticeably because of licensing costs. Fanatec found the cleanest solution they could letting you use it on both with the right base and wheel combo.

Question🤔 How do you know which end is the top and the bottom when putting a wheel on the QR2? because with the qr1 you had to rotate the shaft to make sure you had the top part position correctly in order to put the wheel on the shaft if not it wont go in or could damage the pins. is that the case with the qr2? Because the new shaft seems to look identical all the way around, so how will we know what's the top and the bottom for us not to bend the pins when placing a wheel on it

Not even getting feedback from Fanatec either. I'm a console player, so I know the experience is totally not the same, but I want to update to a Fanetec wheel base for PS5 and get an Xbox wheel. My Logitech setup using a drivehub adapter and 3rd party controller to switch between consoles is kind of annoying now. Lol. Plus I believe my wheel setup is only capable of 2.3nm of torque. I want more. 😂
