Decisions Decisions. G27, T500, or CSR Elite
So I have been thinking about my next racing sim purchase and torn between these three wheels. Obviously there are pros and cons to each. The G27 comes with pedals and a shifter for half the price of the other two wheels alone. Ive heard great things about the fanatec club sport pedals and heard equally great things about the T500 steering wheel. My question is, does anyone have experience with the T500 or the Fanatec wheels to provide any compareable feedback? I am close to pulling the trigger on the G27 only because Ive used it before and it works great. Please keep thread on topic. Thank you!

i have the new CSR for $299 and its great i have it paired with the elite pedals $149and its a great combo.... ive heard reviews of the elite too and the carbon finish is awesome..but 599 or whatever it was is too steep for me.... for the price im happy with the CSR...
you can add on the shifter for the fanatec aswell... before the CSR i had just the logitech driving force GT as i was primarily a GT5 player only.. and there is no comparision with the CSR plus it works great for multiple platforms...where you cant play forza with the other options..... honestly i use the fanatec with GT5 more than i do forza... im not really a PC or iracing player cant say how it is for that..but i assume its great as the force feedback is awesome.. the load cell tech in the pedals is really cool too... you can adjust the wheel to vibrate when ABS kicks in so that you can adjust how much pressure it takes to brake 100% Last edited by MC; 12-16-2011 at 03:16 PM. |

i would say the only drawback to the CSR i see so far is its a little buggy sometimes the very first time you race per session on either PS3 or Xbox maybe 1 out of 3 times the gas will be unresponsive and you have to turn the wheel power off and back on and its fine.... other than that no issues... a little frustrating but the only short coming ive seen so far..
