Hi All

Looking at getting a PC gaming wheel, the price range is so massive so need some recommendations.

So what is the best ENTRY LEVEL gaming wheel for the price? The cheaper the better but still decent enough not to instantly piss me off (as I've had in the past).

Going to using it primarily with VR not that that should matter.

Cheers

My son picked up a second hand Logitech steering wheel/pedals set for his PC a little while ago - it was good value and works surprisingly well.

Yeah I also got a 2nd hand Logitech Wheel & Pedals for $50.

 

It was made for x-box and pc. Works really well for VR, and is very compatible (easy to set up) with everything I try. Cant remember the model name at the moment.

 

EDIT: its a 'Logitech DriveFX Xbox 360'

 

The "DriveFX" force feedback is a little odd, hard to explain, but I like it!

 

Its a tad small, and doesn't have massive turning degrees, but you can customize the sensitivity in everything, one way or another (driver level, or game options).

Honestly, entry level would be the Logitech G920/G29. Anything below these would be more into the toy category.

It's still a considerable chunk of money, but anything cheaper will be horrible to use. Even these wheels have their flaws.

 

There are deals on Trademe every once in a while. I got my G29 with pedals, shifter & stand for $100 this way.
