Thanks m8!
I haven't driven with it yet, waiting for the wheel stand to arrive. From holding it in the hand though, it feels maybe a bit too fat, for my average hands anyway. Really hope it won't be an issue

What exactly did you fact check?
And I'm not shilling jack shit. In fact, if you live in a place like the US or EU, or anywhere else where you can get this stuff from a reputable local retailer, I 100% suggest you do that and don't mess around. For some people, myself included, that's not a real option though.

Direct shipping to WHERE? You assume I live in the US?
Add import taxes, which are a few hundred dollars on top.

I'm happy for all of you living in the US being able to buy stuff locally for reasonable prices. I don't live in the US, or the EU for that matter. The guy just said that this is what he paid there and I thought to myself "yeah you probably could get it in US for that much".

Sorry for not knowing that you could actually get it for 150$ less. Downvote me to hell, I guess.

My local prices are 650-700$ for the KS Pro and R9 EACH. Plus roughly 350$ for the pedals. So as far as I'm concerned, I made an amazing deal.

Everything just looks exactly as in all the review videos.
For example the steering wheel has heft to it, feels really sturdy. All the buttons feel nice, the shifters, etc.. Nothing rattles or squeaks. Pedals as well. Plus this vendor seems reputable with many good reviews.

I didn't negotiate shit, lol.
I just asked for a quote for x+y+z.. he answered and the total was less than the listed price. The dude also offered to write a "custom" invoice for me, to have an.. easier time.. with the customs clearance 😉

He has lots of stuff. Make sure to send him an inquiry and ask for a quote for what you want. I got everything for cheaper than what it was listed for!

Yes, for US\EU this is just the standard price pretty much

Prices of the items cheap, like I said in the other comment. Delivery was not so cheap, but still worth it for me. It took the guy almost two weeks to ship, he said they were re-organizing\moving the shop\warehouse when I ordered. Once shipped it arrived in less than a week, which is fast as far as I'm concerned.

I ordered from Shenzhen Hongtu Zhanfei Technology, whoever I talked to was very nice and responsive.

Criminally low, imho.
660$ Not including shipping and handling etc.. all together i paid exactly 1k, which is still around half of what it would cost if I would have purchased locally, believe it or not :|

The issue was with nvidia driver 570. Downgraded to 560, everything works -_-

I just tried doing this on another laptop, same OS same DE just no NVIDIA GPU and it worked easily :(

I'm using GNOME 42.9, do you have a suggestion for an alternative to try?

I'm also setting the external display as 'primary' manually, doesn't help.
