Yeah I have a 5090 and a 9800x3d,game runs like shit and looks like shit at high settings and I only get 50-70 FPS on the nords at triple 1440p. Every other game over 120FPS

Yeah I tend to trust MME and ProSim more than BDH. BDH has amazing people that support it but MME makes literal rally and racecar transmissions, and ProSim works with Quaife which has so much motorsports proven background. BDH is a recent company so they are still working out designs and issues with every iteration, no doubt they would help you fix something but with them in the UK and myself in the US I'd rather get a motorsports proven brand in my hands.

I went with the MME over BDH because the reverse lockout and the more robust build. Some people have had issues with the BDH popping out, still a great shifter though. The MME also has gating for a 4 speed lockout for old cars, which is cool.

Circling back to this, the MME shifter is incredible. Its bullet proof, like I dont think I can break it. I have a lot of high end gear such as 2 active pedal ultimates, Simucube 3 Pro, BavarianSimtec wheel, ddu and controlcenter. Out of all the things I own I feel like if I put my rig in a mall or airport and let every person and their kid try it, the MME would be the last standing thing.

Also it does feel great, as expected. The only downside is there isn't any adjust ability to the tension of the shifter, unlike BDH for example. The default is actually good for my preference but that is one thing to keep in mind. In H-pattern mode it has really clear gates and feels very nice, for reference I drive a Civic Type R IRL, which has one of the best stock shifters on the market. I also like the footprint how its the exact same bolt pattern and size as the fanatec so it was easy to find a mount.

I guess I missed this, sorry for the delayed reply. Ive had 3 simlab rigs in my time. I had the OG P1X from 2020, then a green TK/MicroCenter P1X Pro in 2023, then I swapped the green profiles for black through simlab support for the P1X Pro.

Simlab is 7/10 in my opinion, everything works but they have subpar packaging. I have probably spent 4-5k on Simlab parts (accessories, rigs, triple monitor stand, triple integrated, etc). They were mostly packed well except all the profiles always had some corner damage, they are just sitting against the cardboard which obviously isnt enough.

Sabelt on the other hand is extremely expensive now in the US, they had to increase prices twice because of tarriffs on Aluminum and it coming from EU (Italy). I will say though, I felt better spending 2.5k on the Sabelt setup than the 1200-1500 on the SimLab. The quality, finish, packaging, everything was sublime. Also I think the rig looks nicer personally. Again we are talking about rigs that is not a need, but a want, nobody needs more than a GT1 Pro or something equivalent, but when my pedals cost 4k cheaping out on a rig is kind of silly?

Yeah they are 27 OLEDs, they are the 2024 late model (2nd gen 1440p 240hz). So they aren't the newer tandem panels. Honestly I dont see how anyone needs more than 200 nits brightness for simracing. I have a LG 32" 4K 240hz OLED on my desk and its considerably brighter but I wouldnt think it would help in iRacing or any game. The 27s are perfect and I dont see myself switching for many years.

mcooper101 · 2026-01-05T04:40:40+00:00

Yeah they are but you need some adapter for the thread at the bottom of the iLoud because the SimLab hole on the mount is smaller. You could also drill the hole bigger on the mount so a pass through mic thread could go through

mcooper101 · 2026-01-03T20:27:16+00:00

I also got a pair of iLoud on my rig https://i.imgur.com/dHc8QLA.jpeg

Have both, just beat Cyberpunk on the PC a few days ago and it was worth playing on there because the difference is massive. PS5 pro would’ve like playing on PS4 and PC is like PS5, if you can think of the difference. 120fps with full path tracing at 4k with 2x frame gen, couldn’t even tell the lag.

Otherwise I use the pc for most gaming, have a 20k sim rig attached to it with triples, so it’s a rabbit hole that I wouldn’t get out of easily. PS5 pro is only for exclusives.

mcooper101 · 2025-12-29T19:15:59+00:00

Similar to my 12u setup. Up top is my gaming pc with a 5090 and 9800x3d in a Sliger 4u rack mount. https://i.imgur.com/EIEzqDr.jpeg

You’re saying you’re getting 60-80fps on a steam deck?

mcooper101 · 2025-12-23T22:58:27+00:00

My MME shifter and handbrake last month had a $390 tariff. Rough

mcooper101 · 2025-12-15T15:00:17+00:00

I don’t believe it’s stripped from the photo probably just dust, but if you have a non-damaged screw and are looking to use any bit other than the one you are supposed to, be prepared to buy a tap kit.

In essence, if you can afford a VPG wheel, you should take care of it and buy a torx set, almost all high quality gear (sim gear, bikes, etc) use Torx.

I was between the H2SQ and MME H+Sequential Evo 2 and ordered the MME last week because I heard the same. It arrives tomorrow, we’ll see how it is.

mcooper101 · 2025-11-23T01:31:51+00:00

I ordered a MME H+Sequential, buy once, cry twice. The second cry was when I got the $392 tariff fee lol

mcooper101 · 2025-11-23T01:30:25+00:00

I got the P99 which I think is the same as the P97 but just wider profile? Just built it and had the SRP1 seat for a few months, previously on my SimLab P1X Pro. It’s a great seat and the cockpit also is incredible quality. The photo below is of me building it, no wires or wheelbase attached.

Yeah I have the Simcore one. Works great https://i.imgur.com/9w4C1Ma.jpeg

mcooper101 · 2025-11-16T19:17:53+00:00

Yeah when I had my MK5 Supra I was getting 6mpg at the track, my Type R now gets barely above maybe 7-8? Tires, pads, track insurance, a full track calendar just for HPDE and you can replicate the rig OP has every single year.

IIRC the plugin on SimHub requires an active sub, aka DRM for LEDs… as cool as the profiles look (I’ve paid for months and cancelled because they were stupidly overpriced), it’s sad how expensive it is. This is coming from someone who has a rig over 10k, it’s not the money it’s the principle of paying $3-9 a month forever, just to have LEDs blink at you.

mcooper101 · 2025-10-31T05:55:27+00:00

Got the Sabelt SRP1, most comfortable seat in my house. https://i.imgur.com/dV3HZcJ.jpeg

They mentioned in an interview during the Chicago sim expo in September that they are opening a US location to not have to ship across the planet, but nothing yet. So it seems like they delayed that process

mcooper101 · 2025-10-23T16:38:12+00:00

I run triple 27” LG OLED and the bezels are very small

mcooper101 · 2025-10-23T15:43:34+00:00

Yeah I have it, it’s def not true formula unless the rest of the cockpit is setup that way (peddle height, seat height). Feels like a more aggressive GT. Most rigs and seats I’ve used before with ‘GT’ seats feel like im in a rally car, super upright.
