Bluetooth AND Wired? | Cube Controls F-CORE | Long Term Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- The 290mm Cube Controls F-CORE launches TODAY! It has bluetooth AND USB connectivity. I tried it with a €5 eBay bluetooth adapter and to my surprise, it worked!
Could this be the perfect VR wheel? I almost feel like calling it a 'VR Wheel' isn't fair because I don't use even VR and without spoiling the review, I LOVED it... The product launches TODAY and I've had it for a few weeks. here's my long term review!

Does that site sell to europe of only england?
@@DaanIsKjoel_ they sell worldwide yeah
VR user here, glad we're being catered to. This rim looks amazing! Definitely on the wish list. Great review as usual LD
Thanks Canry :D It's a really nice piece of kit. I'm super impressed with it
I finally got my F Core recently. It is much better than I expected. If your in VR, go for it!
Nice!!! Yeah it’s a nice piece!
I always love your shots of the wheel outside on the ground. I'm waiting for your ultimate shot of it being on a highway with cars zipping by...LOL! Only kidding! Thanks for the great review, as always!
haha some day :D I'll include the part where I get arrested :p
@@LaurenceDusoswa ROLFLMAO!!!!!!!
Great review as always LD. Its a beauty!!
Thanks for the kind words sir ❤️
This wheel looks great and seems to be priced really well. I'm sure it'll sell well!
Yep agreed. I think they’ve really hit a sweet spot of high end entry level with 0 compromise
Everything they make just looks so damn appealing
They usually get it right yeah! Real dream hardware
Those presentation shots on the pavement and stairs :D
Hahaha gotta make do with the tools in front of you
@@LaurenceDusoswa Indeed!
I didn't expect this review to come out this early.
hahaha yeah the embargo lifted the minute this video came out, so it's good to be in there early :D
just 750 on a wireless GT PRO ZERO. should be here friday :) thanks for making such great videos that help us choose our gear with confidence
OH NICE! That's a great rim. I have the GT-X and absolutely adore it.
a very good looking wheel!
It's gorgeous yeah
Great review this time! No BS i really would like to test it, how long the battery life takes till it drains out?
Honestly I have been doing so much switching between modes for my review, I never drained the battery more than 20% so cannot give an accurate answer unfortunately
@@LaurenceDusoswa thats good numbers, today will test OMP ALu 310 if will not like i will risk with this rim, as simracingbay v2 rim which i has is really good but my thumbs need more place! Hope this rim is very good erganomically ;)
Thanks for the review! I noticed the price listed in your video, 629 + VAT and includes clutch/hub is much cheaper than the 750 you listed on your written review on your website. Do you know which is accurate?
629 + vat = 750 incl vat. More or less. Hope that answers your question
Oh okay. I’m in US so no VAT, assuming I’d just pay tax and shipping then.
I was scared for a split second.....at 2:10........you almost sliced up your thumb! Always keep your body away from the direction of the razor cutting process. ;-) Thanks for doing this review, I am looking for a 290-300mm GT/all-round rim.
That blade is about as sharp as a key so I'm not too worried, but you're right :D I'd love if the Simagic GTS had this bluetooth functionality
@@LaurenceDusoswa This rim is in my wheelhouse. Cant wait to see or hear more about it. Thanks for showing us all this rim.
Hi, i have a simagic alpha mini, and i use a custom job wheel who's motherboard doesnt let me use 2 buttons at the same time(it was on a budget unfortunatrly) and i would switch to the f-core, but i need to know if i need the hub, because i use a classic custom quick release on my wheelbase and current wheel, sadly i dont remember the diameter, i saw you have a simagic wheelbase as well, maybe you could help with some more questions if you have the time one day
I don’t know anything about your quick release if it’s a custom one. But you probably need to buy the hub also
What is the durometer rating on these grips? I had the F-Pro and loved it but the grips were too hard, so I upgraded.
Honestly I don’t know. Good question for cube controls though
Just picked this up and simucube 2 sport at Microcenter for $999! The wheel was $249!
Insane value
Hi, can you link the NRG quick release product page?
I bought mine from eBay but beware of cheap fakes. An NRG QR is at least €140 usually
What do you think of ascher racing? I couldn’t decide between the two.
Ascher make incredible products. I have only reviewed one by I respect them a lot and hear great things about their customer service
I don t know what to choose between this one and F Pro. the only bad aspect on the F pro is the size 282mm, since i use the wheel for GT3 driving. Do you think the size from F Pro is too small?
I use some 280mm wheels and the size is fine for me
Personally for GT3 i would go not less than 29 cm, better it should be 30 cm!
Great wheel for vr users or people looking for a cost effective higher end wheel
Yep exactly. Could this with a standalone dash display and you have the best of all worlds. This is not a cheap wheel but it’s definitely great value for what you get
I was curious about what you meant by "VR wheel". And it seems that's a speculation based on ergonomic layout and lack of display?
Yep the main think is that stuff like backlighting on buttons is not important for VR users either. The bigger buttons help too. It’s just pretty perfect for Vr
@@LaurenceDusoswaAlthough I agree on the non-importance of backlighting, as a VR racer I need more rotary encoders than this wheel has. As far as I am concerned the F-Pro is perfect for VR with 2 thumb encoders per side.
I wish this had back lit buttons 😢. Really like it but I really want back lit. Their f pro is like double the price though.
yep backlit buttons would make this perfect. I wouldn't mind if i had to charge it lots :p
Do the encoders on the front have a push/click function?
No they do not
will this wheel work on a moza r12 when i purchase a moza quickrelease?
Yes. But it won’t get power or connectivity via MOZA’s base.
I'm getting this as soon as it's freely available, and then my Ascher F28 can go in the bin - I hate that it's locked to Simucube.
Yep being locked in sucks, but simucube isn’t a bad place to be either
@@LaurenceDusoswa Maybe, but the word is that the new Asetek wheelbases completely destroy Simucube, and all other DD wheelbases. Should I go for one then I'd like my wheels to work with those bases as well.
When will it be put on the market for purchase?
In a few weeks they say. It was supposed to be released this week but they shuffled some product launches around last minute
Laurence, i like your videos, most of them, but how can you refer to long time review after 1 week??
I have had this for a month ;)
Your videos are amazing. I really like it. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Can I talk with you Dusoswa?
I got your messages, thanks :)
The prices on the screen and what you said do not match, can you clarify?
What I say includes the vat
where do i buy it because i cant find it any where in ireland or close to ireland an i also i cant buy one from britain
It was supposed to be released today but it has been delayed by 2 or 3 weeks
hello Laurence, where can i buy cube controls in USA?
Good question! I honestly don't know where there is a reseller in the USA
Micro Center sells them
What happened to this wheel? I cant see anywhere on sale anymore.
There was a mixup and the release date they told me was shifted and nobody ever told me :D It is coming out in the next 2 weeks apparently
How's 2 weeks a long term review mate ?
It's not a 1 day review like many other channels :p I used it for league races and practice, formulated my script, used it in multiple sims, etc. It was an intensive 2 weeks. And at the end of the day it's a simple product, unlike a wheelbase or pedals. 2 weeks of daily intensive use is plenty I feel. Hope that helps.
This or Simagic FX wheel?
I would choose this to be honest. Although I haven't reviewed the FX. I have the FX pro and don't like the position of the 7 way hat. I also LOVE the grips on the F-CORE.
