Yes. You have to turn them on (and set their brightness level) in the menus. It took me another day to figure that out, I'd scrolled past it in the user manual.
The encoders make a click sound/feel as you rotate them, but after a few races I agree that I wish they were a bit stiffer in their rotation. The tops ones remind me of a mouse scroll wheel and I'd prefer a nice solid click. Wish there was a way to adjust their stiffness.
Looks like they stole the Pokornyi DIY files and are selling that wheel. Definitely seems a bit sketchy. Looks nice tho, the solid enclosure is a nice touch.
@@MostlyBlindMitch So this is a clone of the RedBull f1 wheel. If you read the manual this has internal routing for USB with 4 pinout with a switch to switch between both. The PE PCB does not have that. So this is not stolen. Both just happen to clone the same real life wheel.
I'm sure I make about 20 description mistakes during the video, like calling thumb wheels, rotaries. Barry Rowland, I am not :)
Are the buttons backlit?

@ thanks man. I just ordered mine.
That 0.5 lens tho
Thumb encoders looks like it has no resistance at all. 😢

@ the only way is to use a diff encoder but the existing ones are most likely soldered on

like most wheel makers do ;) their are 6 to 7 different Porsche RSR wheel copies ;) look at grey wolf .. they ask 3k for a wheel
@@BelgianSimRacinggrey wolf did not steal anything. They designed their own boards.
@@BelgianSimRacing Yeah but when you literally take the fabrication files and PCB it's a bit different than a "copy".
