1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,000
if there's one thing people around the office know me for it's that I wear

2
00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:10,440
driving gloves I don't wear driving gloves anymore but I do like Logitech

3
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:15,240
and I do like cars so this could be a very interesting

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:20,100
combo this is a thousand dollar racing wheel and a 350 dollar set of pedals

5
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:25,500
from a company whose last racing wheel was like 300 bucks with both the market

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,699
for direct drive Wheels like this has really been going up with fanatex csldd

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:35,100
I think thrustmaster just launched one a couple days ago so it'll be interesting to see how this performs because at the

8
00:00:32,579 --> 00:00:40,559
price point this is a hefty ask but I can't wait to check out what's inside

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:46,200
unlike the thrust master or the fanatec options Logitech is selling this as a

10
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:48,660
kit so when you get the wheel which I

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:52,559
assume is this thing okay cool cool this is impressive okay the thousand dollar

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,699
price point I'm kind of starting to feel it all right

13
00:00:54,059 --> 00:01:01,800
previous generation Logitech wheel it was a good way to get into racing games

14
00:00:58,379 --> 00:01:04,500
but not very well built this by contrast

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,560
feels really nice nice buttons these paddles click the paddle David click

16
00:01:05,820 --> 00:01:10,740
click the paddle it feels pretty good but it's not clear

17
00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:14,220
if you're going to be able to buy separate Wheels I imagine because there

18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,540
is a quick disconnect on the back of here then you can take this on and off

19
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:24,479
that they will sell other cool branded Wheels that's okay this thing is massive

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:29,640
the nice thing about the fanatec option is it's pretty compact this is a bit of

21
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:34,100
a chungus 15 pounds

22
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:42,479
power cable and a chungus power brick 300 watts wow

23
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:44,520
ah that looks like a table Mount good ah

24
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:48,360
man these table clamps are always underwhelming this is a thousand dollar

25
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:53,640
product and it's just like it's a plastic screw and plastic housing I mean

26
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,200
realistically if you're using a wheel like this you probably shouldn't mount it to your desk you probably got some

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,579
sort of like a wheel frame or something but this is a little disappointing on

28
00:02:00,659 --> 00:02:06,960
first glance yeah okay cool little cover it's got a

29
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:09,439
little like ball bearing things to hold it in place

30
00:02:11,099 --> 00:02:14,900
okay it works

31
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:21,300
it really does work

32
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:25,500
it feels cheap but it does work in terms of the wheel we got our x y a b left

33
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,720
trigger right trigger since this is the Xbox version there's a PlayStation version they're the same price they do

34
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,540
both work for PC so if you play on PC you're welcome to buy whatever version

35
00:02:32,099 --> 00:02:36,959
you like on the inside there there's four pins those are going to connect to

36
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:40,800
four little contacts on our quick disconnect it's keyed so you can't put

37
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:45,260
it in the wrong way so make sure you line that up and then you want to pull

38
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:49,140
this back hmm

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,260
fanatec lets you spin it infinitely there's no stops this one does have

40
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:55,019
stops but they are both direct drive this does use hall effect sensors so

41
00:02:54,060 --> 00:03:01,319
it's not going to wear down any potentiometers or anything like that and it does feel nice and smooth it does

42
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,160
have their true Force tech which when they describe it to me it's kind of like

43
00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:08,580
it's almost like having a speaker in the steering wheel that gives you these

44
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,300
finer inputs at least on their older Wheels because this one's direct drive

45
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,019
and it's just a big motor I imagine that feedback it's also probably just done by

46
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:19,560
the motor um we'll have to see how that feels oh I

47
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:24,319
forgot there's a little OLED display on here wow that is Tiny it's got to be

48
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:28,980
like this big little OLED display there Ah that's lame on the back of this for

49
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:35,280
connectivity they just have a bunch of USB a ports like the OG style like USB

50
00:03:32,099 --> 00:03:37,560
2.0 type A ports there's a micro USB

51
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:42,659
which is lame in 2022 this should be type c at the very least they have made

52
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:46,739
this a molded cable and you can see that it matches the profile of the inside of

53
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:51,180
that so once you push this in it's not really going to be affected by a side to

54
00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:55,019
side Force but you could very well you know rip it out this way and these

55
00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:58,080
little prongs on the micro b Port are going to wear down over time now the

56
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,640
type A ports aren't going to be protected from left and right movement

57
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:07,080
so if you do wire this up man maybe just get put some cable strain reliefs or

58
00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:11,760
something because I can see someone very easily damaging this

59
00:04:08,940 --> 00:04:14,360
uh it's not even like tight fitting like

60
00:04:14,939 --> 00:04:19,739
kind of disappointing on a thousand dollar device hopefully the performance

61
00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:25,380
still lives up to it there's stuff in here

62
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:27,780
oh this looks promising so far I'm

63
00:04:25,380 --> 00:04:31,020
seeing a lot of metal that's good buying pedals that are plastic and you get a

64
00:04:29,699 --> 00:04:34,320
ton of flex these feel pretty good though this is

65
00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:37,979
350 bucks this feels like a lot better value than

66
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:42,240
this steering wheel but I mean I guess we'll see the thing I always find with

67
00:04:40,139 --> 00:04:47,100
like racing pedal clutches is they're always super linear it's just

68
00:04:44,580 --> 00:04:51,660
like a lever when in real life your clutch will kind of you'll feel the

69
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:56,400
point at which it disengages and engages the brake pedal is load cell which is

70
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:59,639
cool and the gas it's okay for gas to just be a lever because in a real car

71
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:04,500
that's what it is okay

72
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,800
oh Jesus yeah replacement Springs cool

73
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:10,560
and look at that replacement brake

74
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:15,600
um foam I don't know what you call these rubbers brake rubbers see I want to make

75
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:20,759
the okay all right actually that came out really easily

76
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,740
did I just get it stuck now oh God there

77
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:26,120
we go okay it's a bit tight you tighten the thing and that's good

78
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:34,500
oops so when you're pressing the pedal at first you feel the compression of

79
00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:38,520
this soft foam and then you kind of hit a wall which would be this much harder

80
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:42,720
rubber there's probably a couple different presets they give you like

81
00:05:40,380 --> 00:05:47,639
yeah there you go they give you a chart so you can replace the pieces

82
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:51,900
A and B and then you're always going to have one of these they're not really

83
00:05:50,039 --> 00:05:56,280
labeled though they are kind of labeled does that look like a label ah man okay

84
00:05:54,180 --> 00:06:01,800
Logitech again colors if the system is colors does that

85
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:05,520
look like the same brown and you can almost say that that's the yellow maybe

86
00:06:04,020 --> 00:06:09,600
it's these are the natural colors of these materials but make sure that the

87
00:06:07,139 --> 00:06:13,560
color in your manual matches or at the very least dye them so that they look

88
00:06:11,820 --> 00:06:19,320
really different so you can't screw this up okay we can also switch the Springs

89
00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:23,220
yeah okay that one's white so that's the lightest one this one is brown the

90
00:06:21,539 --> 00:06:27,840
clutch pedal has red which is the second heaviest and the gas has yellow which is

91
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:31,380
the second lightest let me put these on my feet and see how they feel

92
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,639
man playing a racing game without a cockpit

93
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:40,979
kind of lame do we have room for a cockpit I do they

94
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:45,240
did a reasonable job with the rubber kind of anti-slide stuff obviously when

95
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:50,819
you're getting into it you're still gonna be pushing the pedals forward I

96
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:56,699
think my gas pedal is a little too firm and the clutch is a little too soft

97
00:06:53,880 --> 00:07:00,060
so I might swap those they feel pretty good though

98
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,780
there is a bit of play left and right not only are the pedals themselves

99
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:08,039
moving but the actual like metal piece that holds them in place kind of the

100
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:12,240
channel that they're in is also flexing quite a bit I don't know if it's because

101
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:16,500
the rest of it is plastic what's holding that metal beef in is plastic oh cool

102
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:21,000
the pedals are adjustable you can slide each pedal around as much as you want

103
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:23,639
you can also adjust the pedal faces themselves you see that we're using

104
00:07:22,139 --> 00:07:28,680
these holes right now but you could move them over here over here or up there

105
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:33,360
anywhere you want interesting they are modular which is cool

106
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:38,400
each petal connects with a little looks like rj11 or maybe RJ9

107
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:44,360
kind of like a phone jack and then there is our USB which is also

108
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,360
micro USB again

109
00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:50,460
this one I think is less of a problem because there's these nice cable strain

110
00:07:48,599 --> 00:07:54,479
reliefs right here how are you going to screw this up

111
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:59,520
you're probably not going to but once you plug this other end here

112
00:07:57,479 --> 00:08:02,699
let's let's just demo I don't know if it's the right way if it was type c it

113
00:08:01,740 --> 00:08:09,120
wouldn't matter oh did I get it oh I got it

114
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:13,620
all right maybe it's not so bad I'm a professional plugger into Port

115
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:18,000
kind of guy okay I do this for a living okay well let's set it up with the

116
00:08:15,599 --> 00:08:21,300
computer and play some games God

117
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:26,699
ah but not before I tell you about our sponsor vessi thanks to vesi Footwear

125
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:56,040
with the offer code ShortCircuit at vessey.com ShortCircuit when I was

126
00:08:53,940 --> 00:09:00,660
plugging in the power I realized it's got active cooling there's a fan in

127
00:08:58,620 --> 00:09:03,480
this thing you can hear it you totally can hear it

128
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:08,040
I felt it at the back that's pretty cool I guess it's because it's pretty hot I

129
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:13,620
like that everything is integrated in g-hub now you don't need to download discrete drivers it just automatically

130
00:09:11,459 --> 00:09:16,980
detected it and it needs a firmware update Hey look it's got a little blinky

131
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,760
lights when it's updating it's not blinking anymore God dang it oh it

132
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:23,880
blinked it's blinking again oh

133
00:09:22,260 --> 00:09:29,160
yeah that's a good amount of torque I like this thing we have a fanatec CSL

134
00:09:26,820 --> 00:09:34,860
dd2 upstairs and I think that thing can do 25 Newton meters but I usually set

135
00:09:31,380 --> 00:09:37,800
the peak around 12. so having your Peak

136
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:41,459
at around 11 is it's pretty good the interesting thing is they call these

137
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:46,200
dual clutch pedals like that's the only only car that would have paddles is one

138
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,260
with a dual clutch okay so maybe they're not talking about

139
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:54,660
a dual clutch transmission they're talking about there are dual

140
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,600
clutch pedals you can rebind them to pretty much anything it looks like

141
00:09:56,940 --> 00:10:02,160
um you can make them even your gas I guess

142
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:08,820
so because it's a load cell you can actually set the amount of force you apply 100

143
00:10:06,060 --> 00:10:11,880
kilograms there's no way you're going to be doing that without these mounted to a

144
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:18,899
frame and I don't even think you're going to be doing it even with it mounted to a frame that's

145
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,180
like 120 pounds of force uh so you play

146
00:10:18,899 --> 00:10:26,220
it the right pedal goes fast it's the second pedal wow thanks hey look there's

147
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:28,980
little bar graphs for them here gas and clutch

148
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:33,779
super linear clutch I don't know what the other ones are we're playing the new

149
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,920
setup Corsa competition I guess I don't

150
00:10:33,779 --> 00:10:39,360
know I don't speak Italian or whatever that is it has true Force support that's why

151
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:42,959
we're using it I usually play regular aesthetic corset which we might try

152
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:48,800
after but for now let's do this okay so I can pick a car

153
00:10:44,579 --> 00:10:48,800
let's do the m6 GT3

154
00:10:49,260 --> 00:10:53,399
ah it's so much easier to use a keyboard

155
00:10:52,260 --> 00:11:01,140
and mouse damn it um they're fine I guess

156
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:04,040
practice yeah let's do that realism okay

157
00:11:01,140 --> 00:11:07,980
let's try this thing it's just like

158
00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:13,019
you can hear the engine through the wheel it's really weird

159
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:17,519
sounds terrible yeah it's a little like much sauce honestly

160
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,560
I really don't like the true force it feels awful just the whole

161
00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:25,220
wheel feels like it's just vibrating constantly

162
00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:35,880
it sounds broken oh my God it's not shaking like it's

163
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:39,480
broken this is so much better oh my God oh my God I don't know why there's a

164
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:43,079
racing line but whatever this is much better this is much better

165
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:47,880
oh my God I'm going too fast for this car uh so if

166
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:51,839
you slow down four turns yeah it's a great idea I should do that okay it

167
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:54,959
feels way better now that the whole desk and steering wheel isn't shaking like a

168
00:11:53,640 --> 00:12:00,240
cheap toy oh too much spice okay ow see that's

169
00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:05,339
what I mean like there's some there's some serious torque there

170
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:07,740
it's nice it feels very crisp the force

171
00:12:05,339 --> 00:12:13,019
feedback feels pretty good I really did not like the true Force thing in a set

172
00:12:10,380 --> 00:12:17,420
of Corsa or ACC wow this whole monitor is like shaky this Ikea table is not

173
00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:21,959
built for racing Sim it's a good amount of feedback this is

174
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:25,860
like as much as I would ever want it's one thing with the fan attack that I

175
00:12:23,940 --> 00:12:31,519
have I'm always like I just want like a little bit more feedback this is a

176
00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:31,519
little bit more oh Jesus

177
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:39,019
oh my God feels pretty good for a 350 dollar set

178
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:44,579
of pedals I'm pretty happy with those surprisingly usable on a table despite

179
00:12:41,940 --> 00:12:48,360
the monitor like going all over the place it'll be interesting to see when

180
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:51,660
there's more more wheel options I mean the stock

181
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:56,220
wheel feels pretty good the build quality is nice it's got I would say

182
00:12:54,540 --> 00:13:00,180
just the right amount of force feedback I don't know if I'd want any more than

183
00:12:57,660 --> 00:13:04,380
this but for a thousand dollars you got to be pretty in to racing games

184
00:13:02,820 --> 00:13:10,260
to want to spend that much money and that's not including pedals if you look

185
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:15,320
at the competition the csld with three pedals like this and a wheel is still

186
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:19,380
less than just the base and the wheel thrustmaster just came out with their

187
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:23,339
new direct drive base that can do 10 newton meters of torque for around 650

188
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:28,320
US Dollars it still kind of seems like the CSL DD from fanatec is the one to

189
00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:32,579
buy just because it is so much cheaper this does feel like a really good

190
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:36,899
experience I don't like true force that much maybe other people do your mileage

191
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:41,579
may vary but it does perform well it's just the price for a thousand dollars

192
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,480
with a bunch of micro b ports kind of disappointing I don't know I think if I

193
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:50,040
was buying one of these I'd probably still go with the fanatec csldd with the

194
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:54,240
Boost pack because then you're pretty much in the same neighborhood in terms

195
00:13:52,019 --> 00:13:58,079
of torque for a lot less money and there's a lot more supported custom

196
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,839
wheels for instance I'm sure Logitech is going to come out with some more but fan

197
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:05,899
attack has a lot lots and there's already a community behind them building

198
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:05,899
other custom wheels

199
00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:08,839
this thing

200
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,860
I think it would be an absolute steal for 750 maybe you're worth buying I

201
00:14:16,019 --> 00:14:21,660
think this is just a little too expensive thanks for watching if you like this

202
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:26,399
video maybe check out one of the watch videos I did the Apple watch Ultra that

203
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:30,800
thing was pretty cool although also very expensive get subscribed goodbye
