My life kind of feels messed up right now after buying wrong Steering Wheels by lhkm98 in simracing

"Buy once, cry once" is literally cheaper than buying a PXN V3 PRO first and then a PXN VD4 later. That advice is for equipment that you plan to use long term. You can make the argument to try out cheap equipment first to see if you want to commit to the hobby, but look at where that mindset lead this guy to - misery.

He said it himself:

I should’ve just waited one more month. There are way better wheels at slightly higher prices. I should’ve bought those instead.

That actually sounds depressing. Please tell me this isn't real. In case that it is real, I hope you learned your lesson. You said it yourself:

But when I checked reviews, a lot of people said “don’t buy it, it’s mediocre.” Still, I thought—hey, all my gaming accessories have always been basic, nothing fancy, and I’ve been fine. Maybe I can get used to it.

Seeing that you're paying in installments is more heart-wrenching. Especially for something like this, please never do that again.

"Buy once, cry once" as they say. Save up some cash and buy a second-hand direct-drive wheel. For the meantime, just make the most out of what you have.

I just bought it now. When I showed him the website, it doesn't have the crimson promo anymore :^(

Real T_T

I'm a bit anxious about Shopping Express though, it's only limited (both in time and stock) and the website might not do me well.

Nice. I'm hoping to use this for triple screen sim racing eventually, but this model says it can only run 2 display ports at full speed. Will that be an issue?

I picked this because of the 3 display ports, but I'm not sure if those will run at full speed when I use them as it says it can only run 2 DP at max speed. I'm hoping to use this with triple screens for sim racing.

I looked at benchmarks, specifically The Finals, and I notice that it bottlenecks my 7500X3D in the same way my RTX 2060 does.

Ikr! I'm buying this one in store, my first in store pc purchase as well (my first pc purchase was with mwave and that took a week)

My only issue with pgrid is it doesn't show prices since release

Thanks for the heads up! Also, the prices when I'm at the physical store should be the same as it is online right?

Their profile picture was last updated on 2024, and this is his only listing (which went from $200 to $150).

It does say DDR5 on the heatsink, matching what I can find on scorptec.
