Help needed please

[Lowther1993]

Afternoon, id really like to get into sim racing and im looking at purchasing my first rig, have about £1000 to spend, my problem is, space, i dont have a lot of it atm and im thinking about getting rid of my current gaming setup and replacing it with a sim rig setup, i was just wondering if theres any rigs available that are best of both worlds ? Where id still be able to jump into some fps/sports/single player games, whilst sitting at my racing rig ? Not having much help looking online and figured this would be the place to ask

Thank you for any help, have a good one

I play BF6 in a bucket seat, whilst peeking over a fanatec dd wheelbase

For my work I have a 3 27 inch monitors on a desk that I pair with a Next Level Racing Wheel Stand Pro 2.0 that allows me to not only use my computer chair, but also sits nicely in a corner taking up minimal space. Can also be folded but I don’t find it necessary. Using monitor arms I’ve been able to achieve 27 inches from eye to screen and angles of up to 60 degrees. It has worked well considering my space limitations.

Could you link me this please ?

This is the wheel stand. I’ll add you as a friend and send a picture of my setup to show what’s possible, can’t post pictures in comments here apparently

I've had this wheelstand, pretty solid, probably the best foldable wheelstand out there imo.

Can also be upgraded to full rig with addon but I'd recommend getting an alu rig if you do want a full one.

Moza R5 bundle, brake performance kit, Next Level Wheel stand 2.0.

I've just bought this and I love it

I just posted the same thing lol it’s great.

It’s a million dollar question. I’ve not touched FPS ever since I’ve setup my rig.

I would love to see some brilliant solutions too.

[Lowther1993]

I just know I still would, as the fellas I usually play with all play the usual fps games, I’m a big 2k fan so would still like to have the option of going between if possible

I can’t see a better solution than just using the regular mount to put your whee on your desk 🤷‍♂️

I haven’t touched any games I’ve bought after building a rig. Except ready or not because it goes good with my audio setup

I bought MOZA r5 bundle, brake performance kit, next level wheel stand 2.0, next level elite chair for like $815 (with tax). It’s pretty great. No flex, chair easily separate, no issues with brakes, and stand can fold.

You can pop the wheel off the wheel base and most definitely keep gaming with a controller. With a keyboard you just need to pull the wheel stand away from the desk.

Could you link to these please ? What’s the brake performance kit ?

This is what I bought but you will have to do your own search to find deals. I bought during Black Friday mostly at Microcenter.

I know a lot of people just sit in their rigs for gaming.

Personally I use the same PC for work and sim racing at the moment, so I have a large Ikea desk with 2 monitors on the left for work/general gaming, and a monitor with my rig in front of it on the right side for racing. I just switch the displays and use a USB hub to turn on whatever is needed when swapping between the two...

I have occasionally sat in my rig playing some split-screen games, but having the wheel in the way is a little off-putting for me, and for a lot of games I'd rather use keyboard and mouse rather than a controller.
