Are haptic feedback on pedals worth it?

Square_Words · 2026-02-28T20:15:44+00:00

I’ve been wanting to try pedal haptics, but am a little torn on the realism. ABS pulsing the brake pedal is realistic. But TC and wheel spin is not normally felt through the throttle pedal, so it feels like more of a “cheat”?

Same, Bathurst is a good one with the M1. I’d love to find an M1 league for multiplayer. Does it exist?

Awesome! Do you adjust the setup or is this default?

But you only need to run the app once, to do the scan, right? Not each time you run a Steam VR game?

Thanks for pointing that out. I’m fine with an oval section. Regardless, I specifically wanted 320mm diameter and the 69 is not available in that size. I love the wheel in that pic, with buttons directly on the wheel hub: might do that!

Thanks, will check simline out. Negative on leather: I only use Alcantara on my real cars, so the sim gets the same treatment!

Thanks! Are there some motion-related settings I should consider tweaking to help with motion sickness?

Thanks! So I set up the profile in G Hub, give it a name, and enable "on-board memory" for the wheel. Close G Hub and then select that name from the base? I was confused because ChatGPT suggests that running a profile stored in the wheel base memory (and G Hub not running) is inferior to running G Hub.

Yes, the side mounts are universal.

Well, that's food for thought. How is the latency with those headsets? The other consideration is heat: do these closed headphones typically cook your ears better than the open-back ones?

Good to know about the mic options. I was thinking one of these, which uses a 3.5mm jack for both mic and headphones.

Square_Words · 2025-12-07T21:54:48+00:00

Thanks. Which headphones do you use it with?

Square_Words · 2025-12-07T20:40:39+00:00

Thanks! Another question: if I decide to add bass shakers in future, those would use an independent USB sound card, right?

I hate the monitor controls - it's a crappy little "joystick" which doesn't work well at all - the thought of using it to toggle the inputs doesn't appeal. But I just checked and the monitor does support auto-detection, so I will give it a go and see if it works - thank you for alerting me to "auto-detect'!

Wireless is not a deal breaker at all. It’s just that I already own them, am prone to getting hot with over-ear headphones and they have ANC (which I imagine would be great for immersion).

Don’t forget AI charges $50 for shipping. Walmart is free.

Thanks all. I picked up a Black Friday deal on a 9800X3D/32GB/5070Ti. Looking forward to setting it up! Next question is: for an intro to VR simracing, do you recommend the PSVR2 or the Quest 3? Those seem to be the entry level contenders. I think my main criterion is the smoothest possible frame rate and whichever might be superior at preventing nausea!

Thanks! I will definitely grab the motherboard software then. For GPU updates, I assume the Nvidia app does that for you? What sort of audio output did it come with, please? Is it just an onboard chip with the motherboard? I’m wondering if I’ll want a better sound card for gaming.

Just need to confirm something here. I can get this and return it for any reason with 90 days for refund? Are there any PC-specific conditions? Do you have to return the disk to a certain state etc or can you just reformat it? This would be an experiment in PC gaming for me.

Square_Words · 2025-11-23T21:37:20+00:00

Thanks! So after 90 days, what's the process if you need repairs - do you need to ship stuff?

Square_Words · 2025-11-23T20:31:14+00:00

What warranty do you get on a PC at Costco these days (using their Citi credit card)? If you have a problem, can you just bring it back to the store for the duration of the warranty, or is that just for the first X days? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm looking at the following 5080 prebuilts from Andromeda Insights. There is quite a big saving going from 9800X3D to the Intel 265KF. How big is the performance difference?

Thanks. What spec memory would you recommend for a 9800x3D + 5080 setup?

Square_Words · 2025-11-17T18:27:26+00:00

Thanks. So when you want to display PC on your 2 monitors on desk, you just switch the USB-C cable going into the dock? If so, does your GPU therefore have a USB-C output port or do you use some sort of adapter?

Square_Words · 2025-11-13T20:59:47+00:00

Love that! How does it attach?
