The biggest issue with controllers on hardcore sims is the lack of wiggle room when it comes to mistakes. Every second you push your car to its limits, you're basically skating on the edge of disaster. I can use a controller on Asseto Corsa for example, but the minute I push a little to hard and begin to lose control, I've had it. Correcting mistakes is borderline impossible.
I play F1 2020 (PS4), i bought a Logitech G29. Let me tell you for those who are considering purchasing a sim wheel, it's going to take you some time to get use to the wheel. You're going to have to calibrate it to your driving style and once you do, you practically have to learn how to play the game again. Don't think you're going to start overtaking from the get go. I'm on day 3 with my Logitech and I'm yet to get me Delta in the green when I was averaging - 3 seconds plus on delta. It is fun though.
I just got my first wheel about a month ago & I can't go back to the controller again. It's just so much more fun. Talking about which is faster, definitely steering but needs time to get used to. On slow tight corners it's just so much more precise and the car feels much more control. I would definitely suggest it to anyone who likes to play racing games. It's really much more fun than a controller.
During lockdown I've really started to get into GT Sport, especially the manufacturer races. I kept improving at first but now on controller I've stopped progressing. One issue i think is that high speed corners like eau rouge into raidillon at Spa for example basically feel like pot luck at times with the stick. Bought a T150 pro to see if that can bring me the consistency I need to get to the next level and this comparison video has helped me feel that I've made the right decision forking out for a wheel.
Just made the switch my self. Been on controller whole racing life (97 Gran Turismo PS1). Quite the learning curve. Got G29 for Gran Turismo 7 !!! Love the Emersion, speed not there yet, but time will tell if , overall, I am any faster...thx for the video!! Great content...
Late comment, im a controller driver for 2 years, if you a controller driver plss read this to have a better improvement 1. Learn to steer by pointing the joystick upward (it takes time but will improve your time results 2. learn how to control your throttle and brakes 3. Learn how to trail braking 4. Learn how to turn by applying the brakes 5. Practice lifting More often 6. Learn not to steer more than necessary 7. Remember that you want your steering wheel to be as close to the center as possible; the more speed you carry i to and out of a turn, the faster your lap time. Take your time to practice
long story short, controllers have a middleground level of control and precision whereas sim setups (wheel, pedals, and handbrake) give you borderline the amount of realism and precision as a real car. the only problem with wheels is the price, and the skill needed to master games with it, where if your using a controller. its 10x easier
I’m finally switching to the wheel on ps4 after playing racing games for 5+ years and feel like I’ve reached the fastest I can get with a controller. I wanna go faster and have better muscle memory and be more into the race then I can be with a controller.
I have a Logitech G29, and it is definitely the best wheel in its price range. Worth buying 100% especially if you can get a black friday deal on it! Let me know if you have any other questions :)
@@rexon5174 yes, that’s an incredible deal. I paid £215 that about $300 and I was still happy. The price actually dropped from £215 to £169 Black Friday deal and while I was annoyed at first, I was still happy. Simply because of the huge amount of fun, the wheel gives me.

I''m' 73 year's old, and getting muscle memory to change is a bitch. However, if given sufficent time, an old dog can learn new tricks. It's taken me 200 of my 260 hours of play to get use to the contrller, while I waited for my wheel to arrive. The first two hundered was a bitch, but when I finally got it, I've enjoyed the hell the last 60 hour's. Today my wheel arrived, got it set up and the difference from controller to wheel is basically the same as a controller to keyboard and mouse. NOTHING it's taken me 200 hour's to accomplish works. I've got to learn from scratch again. And though I will, even if it takes an additional 200 hour's. I thank GOD for giveing me as much OCD as I apparently have. LOL
They do not. Most believe you have to get a sim sim chair chassis but there are alternative options. There are small foldable mounts that do not take more than 2ft of space and can be easily moved in front of your PC desk or TV.
I’ve switched back to a controller (Forza) after using a G920 on a stand. I prefer relaxing on a sofa to race and the fine and fast control, and modest low energy feedback of the controller. The wheel was immersive in a way but I found the feedback too linear and lacking real feel. I mostly felt like I was just getting a workout.
Lmao i know I’m 8 months late but damn this hit home. I had to hold my breath every turn in AC Competizione because if i even slightly jittered I’d be face first into a wall. Now with the G920 I’m getting into sim racing and it’s a world of a difference. I still suck but I’m progressing and getting used to the wheel.
I just got a G920, my first wheel, yesterday. It will take some serious adjustments. One thing that is immediately nicer is being able to hold a line around the ovals like it's nothing. But one thing that didn't even cross my mind as being different is getting going straight again out of a hairpin or off the grass. Since you have to physically move the wheel back to center (like in real life, duh), it requires a lot more effort and time. On a pad it happens automatically, in a split second just by the stick moving back to center. Now with a wheel, I'm actually burning calories to accomplish the same thing. I find myself over correcting too. Correcting slides in general is just a completely different game on a wheel. I'm going to spend some time in the single player campaign to try to get used to it before I go back online and ruin my ratings.
@@ghost2679 I tried my g29 with Grid and unfortunately, I could get it working, properly. When I try to do big turn, the car feels sluggishness,like driver is drunk. A real shame because I loved grid. At least I have dirt rally and dirt 4 both working perfectly on my wheel
when i use controller i feel like my turns are instantly 540 left or right, and it auto centers instantly instead of force feedback misdirecting me. controller is easier in some ways however limited.
I've been playing Gran Turismo sport online with a controller and I have been struggling with cornering and consistency I can set a fast lap time but I can't set a consistent fast lap time and I'm finding it hard to run the same line multiple times
Im mainly going to use it for driving simulators (farming sim 19, euro truck etc.) Do you think the Trustmaster T150 is a good choice (since its a lot cheaper than most steering wheels)
The t150 is good if you are on a budget however the G29 has much better force feedback! Just depends what you want to spend. You pretty much get what you pay for.
Noob question- sorry.... Have been playing GT Sport with the DualShock controller and am considering investing in a TM R300 wheel & pedal set. However, doesn't this mean giving up the POV capability (as assigned to the DS's R stick)? Seems like none of the FFB wheels I can afford have a hat switch that could be mapped to POV. I utilize this a fair bit with the controller, but is it a non-factor for most players?
Very few pedals have vibration - The most expensive ones definitely won't! Fanatec's V3 pedals do and many people prefer to turn it off. Your sense of oversteer and understeer comes from the force feedback. Hope this helps!
Fighting the force feedback shouldn't damage your wheel - that's what your meant to do! If it feels like your having to fight it too much then I'd recommend just turning it down a little. If you are having to fight it though, you may be going too fast on corner entry, although if you make the turns, then fighting it is fine! Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
@@AverageGameReviews Well thats good to know. I have always used a controller, and when you are full turning well... you hold the stick all the way to one side! So I am worried since I am brand new to this, I will fight the wheel to get extra turning even though there isn't any... does that make sense?
I recieved my G29 today and let me tell you I'm so so so bad with this wheel, i used to play with gamepad and now I'm on Wheel I'm not able to play at all, and by the end of today I just checked if it was possible for me to return it, cause I'm a working employee I don't have enough time to re-learn all this I simply wanted to enjoy the IMMERSION that's why I bought wheel but I'm not able to play at all, idk what to do I really want to play with wheel but right now I can't😫 Edit :- I play Forza horizon 4
@@grahamkelly8662 i didn't returned it as my mom said don't return it, if u have it then eventually u'll learn it, soo all in all today I can use that to drive but can't use it in racing well because it's still tough for me to control, braking... I cnt use it very well but honestly whenever I feel like i wanna have fun i just drive free roam in Forza horizon 4 with wheel and it feel soo cooll
Well, it depends how into them you are! I currently have a Fanatec CSL DD (direct drive). Having owned a logitech and a non-DD fanatec, I can say that it's 100% worth it but only when you are fully invested in racing games. Also, don't overlook the fact that you will need a good cockpit to get the most out of a DD. Also depends on your budget, but grabbing a logitech and selling it to buy a DD down the line is something I'd recommend. Having said that, If you go straight to DD you won't be disappointed. Let me know if you have any questions!
@@AverageGameReviews here's the thing, years ago I loved racing games. But I grew bored because it was on controller, and also at the time there wasn't really "online multiplayer" (ps3). I was oblivious to direct drive, just never crossed my mind something like that existed until I saw a few videos the other day and have done a crazy amount of research. I looked at the standard fanatec dd with the mclaren wheel and the V3 pedal, and also checked out some rigs. Long story short, what I really wanna know is, is direct drive a gimmick? For example, is the difference like having a galaxy note which comes with a pen so you can sketch a little bit more conveniently, or is it night and day, like an old school flip phone vs a modern smartphone? 😂 😂 Forgive my bad analogy
Funnily enough...I am just in the process of making a video on that! It is a far superior wheel to a Logitech, however due to the price i would recommend getting into more serious racing first! Having said that, if you have the money, then go for it! It's a great wheel. Keep an eye on the channel for that video!
Just bought a wheel and I’m 3 seconds a lap slower on Bahrain f1 22 having driven it for about 2 hours. Any advice on how to get better with wheel? Should I turn off all assists with wheel?
Just give it some time! You will for sure be quicker, but it takes a little while to properly get the most out of it. Turning assists off can be great on a wheel - try turning them down by 1 stage at a time to make it easier to adjust to!
I was asking myself that yesterday...It went down to well below £200 after 2020 black friday and stayed there for ages! Not a bad idea to buy used if you want to save some money! Post-christmas sales may have it discounted too!
@@AverageGameReviews I just ended up getting my friend to get me one on staff discount lol, was still 230 pound but I wanted a Christmas gift to open lol
Im not into racing games because i dont like keyboard and controllers. Would it be a bad idea to buy a wheel in hopes that i can enjoy racing games with it? Or is that more of a bad idea hidden behind good intentions
I would recommend trying to get into it before shelling out! I know two people who bought a wheel and ended up selling a few months later because they weren't actually into the games!
If you are using a gamepad... setup is huge. I like a fair bit of deadzone on the stick, and a lot of saturation. A stick extension actually can be a lot of help too. The deadzone for me helps with twitching a lot.
I don’t play any racing games or anything like that but I want to get into it because I want to try out the wheel should I get one because of it or not because I’m afraid I’ll only play for a little and not play anymore and I’m not a huge fan of games that I have to be by myself and not talk to anyone
@@AverageGameReviews I play on pc btw and I tried race room Idk if you know that game but is that a game I should judge it upon because it doesn’t really have anything on it (plus it’s kinda hard to drive it on keyboard especially that game)
Had to send my wheel back to Fanatec once, so was stuck on controller for a bit. I have little advice - I found it impossibly hard! Using the motion controlls rather than thumbsticks is quite good though - much closer to a wheel! Hope your knee sorts itself out so you can get back to wheel useage soon!
@@AverageGameReviews yeah, I tried. It sucks. Ah well, at least I only bought an extra month of iracing. I was just about to pull the trigger on another year. Lucky boy eh? 😂
Gta v requires a mod, but farming sim 19 you can plug in and play but it’s recommended you adjust the wheels setting to get the best out of it, and maybe the same for when fs 22 comes out

Just give it some time! You will for sure be quicker, but it takes a little while to properly get the most out of it.
Turning assists off can be great on a wheel - try turning them down by 1 stage at a time to make it easier to adjust to!
why is the g29 now like 100 pound extra?
I was asking myself that yesterday...It went down to well below £200 after 2020 black friday and stayed there for ages! Not a bad idea to buy used if you want to save some money! Post-christmas sales may have it discounted too!
@@AverageGameReviews I just ended up getting my friend to get me one on staff discount lol, was still 230 pound but I wanted a Christmas gift to open lol
hey would you recomend i get a wheel that has 180 degree steering or should i save up for a better one
Im not into racing games because i dont like keyboard and controllers. Would it be a bad idea to buy a wheel in hopes that i can enjoy racing games with it? Or is that more of a bad idea hidden behind good intentions
I would recommend trying to get into it before shelling out! I know two people who bought a wheel and ended up selling a few months later because they weren't actually into the games!
@@AverageGameReviews thanks ill do that
Hello i want to play racing games with my high quality gamepad do you have some advices ???
If you are using a gamepad... setup is huge. I like a fair bit of deadzone on the stick, and a lot of saturation. A stick extension actually can be a lot of help too. The deadzone for me helps with twitching a lot.
I don’t play any racing games or anything like that but I want to get into it because I want to try out the wheel should I get one because of it or not because I’m afraid I’ll only play for a little and not play anymore and I’m not a huge fan of games that I have to be by myself and not talk to anyone
Get into some racing games on controller first to see if you like them!
@@AverageGameReviews I play on pc btw and I tried race room Idk if you know that game but is that a game I should judge it upon because it doesn’t really have anything on it (plus it’s kinda hard to drive it on keyboard especially that game)
Is there one going back to a controller? I’ve done my knee in 🤕
Had to send my wheel back to Fanatec once, so was stuck on controller for a bit. I have little advice - I found it impossibly hard! Using the motion controlls rather than thumbsticks is quite good though - much closer to a wheel! Hope your knee sorts itself out so you can get back to wheel useage soon!
@@AverageGameReviews yeah, I tried. It sucks. Ah well, at least I only bought an extra month of iracing. I was just about to pull the trigger on another year. Lucky boy eh? 😂
So if I play casually should I get wheel?
If you play racing games quite a bit, then yes. May I ask what games you play?
@@AverageGameReviews I play GT Sport and The Crew 2
@@theaveragegamer108 If you play them quite a bit then a wheel is good on these games.
@@AverageGameReviews okay I might get one might I suggest a cheap but half descent one?
@@theaveragegamer108 Logitech G29 is a very good wheel which isn't too expensive. About £150 with a black friday deal
im getting a tm t80 is that gud?
Gamepad is definitely cheaper!
Yes!😂
G29 cost alot and try thrustmaster
Can i playing GTA 5 By Using Logitech G29
Can you use a wheel for gta 5 and farm simulator 19 or 22
Gta v requires a mod, but farming sim 19 you can plug in and play but it’s recommended you adjust the wheels setting to get the best out of it, and maybe the same for when fs 22 comes out
