REVIEW - GRID by Simlab MPX Sim Racing Wheel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- GRID by SimLab has produced some of the most high-end and impressive Sim Racing hardware we have seen at Boosted Media. Their no expense spared approach of course comes with a price tag. It is easy to see where that money goes given the attention to detail and quality of construction in their gear.
The Grid MPX Sim Racing Steering Wheel is a 295mm GT or Formula-style wheel with 87 individually programmable RGB LEDs. This gives a huge level of customization in controlling the wheel’s lighting through in-game telemetry or feedback from button inputs.
We took a close look at the GRID MPX Sim Racing Steering wheel, to find out exactly what you get for your money, why I love it, and why Lewis Hamilton will not be buying one!

Ordered mine a couple weeks ago , should be shipping soon. The price is high but all the quality wheels are. This wheel on paper just checks all the boxes. All of them. Size, function, form, build, features, it's the only wheel I've seen that I can't see the drawback too. We shall see, but I'm super excited for it.
Hi Will, thanks for the review. I purchased this wheel and I agree with just about all you have said, the quality and feel of this wheel is fantastic, the ergonomics are great it just feels right. I had the cube control gt pro before and this is so much better in every way. Also the support from grid and their discord is great, you always get a response from grid support if needed.
Where to find theyr discord link?
Thanks for the review!
Thank God all the buttons are just free rotatary and without memorized position. There's just so few uses for it that I usually end up with useless buttons and wishing more free rotatory ones.
Great review as always. Although it’s an older wheel, i’d be curious to see a review of the BMW GT3 wheel, as the price tag is quite significant, yet provides similar functionality to other high end wheels. Given the insight and experience with other wheels, would be cool to see where it stacks up against them considering it’s a real FIA grade bit of kit.
Nice review Will! Appreciate all your information and insights
911 RSR wheel in the background 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those leds are insanely nice
I have this wheel and I do like it. For the price, I like the Asetek Forte wheel a bit more. I would really like to see you do a video on how you manage your iRacing wheel settings across your wheels.
Have a look at simhubs control mapper functionality.
The two little switches at the top have peaked interest given I will be running F1 in iracing.
the price is slightly eyewatering
Only slightly, in this activity - you tend to get the quality you pay for. If you think this is expensive don't look at their Porsche wheel - nearly double the price.
This guy has one of the best jobs. Looking forward to this. Wow I'm first how does this happen?
Barry Rowlands is the king. This dude just copied him.
@@gozz9999 oh man I love Barry from the sim racing garage. He's on a different level indeed.
@@gozz9999just because they do the same thing doesn't mean he copied sim racing garage. Besides, boosted media's videos are a lot more fun, engaging, and creative.
Ngl, Barry's videos don't look too good. Yeah his reviews are pretty thorough, but his production quality just isn't on this level and honestly he's pretty boring.
Great review. Curious how you will compare to the McLaren Artura Pro.
I've heard great things about this wheel
Given the functionality, and build quality, the €1180 price tag here in Germany actually doesn't seem too bad. I mean, it's well beyond my price range, but the more money gets spent in Sim Racing, the bigger the industry will get, and then we will all benefit. Another solid review, as always, with honesty, integrity, and solid facts.
That's a false conclusion, disproven by many past examples, not to mention you can get an ENTIRE used and well cared for car for just double that amount.
@@Mat-hr1dg of course, but that car is even more of a money eater than simracing overall. You can get it and own it for that price yes, but if you want to do some racing with it you will get to 10x the cost of the car very easily.
@jangalaba4626
Well that wasn't really the point I tried to make, not to mention I would have to calculate the entire PC, rig, games and services, etc. Into that equation as well.
The point I was trying to make was rather that nothing material about the wheel itself can ever justify its price.
It's even worse with the ffb pedals, for example.
If a car manufacturer can sell new (though be it basic) cars for under 12k, for example, there shouldn't be ANY sim-pedal costing half of what the entire car costs, no matter how sophisticated.
There is simply no argument to be made other than: "They buy it for that price so we don't care and take the money even if it costs 70$ to make."
It's fine, I'm not saying "screw them, they are greedy", I say "screw you (and me) because we idiots bought it for that price".
We really shouldn't and we really should reflect more on what we actually spend our money on.
Even luxury should have its limits.
@@Mat-hr1dg I absolutely agree, but there is sadly nothing we can do about it. From my understanding (since I am a CNC machinist) the pedals and whatever else cost so much because they're made by machines that cost incredible amounts of money, and you have to make the products worth selling. Sadly for some of us that is the only option to ever get a glimpse or even a touch of racing. Me, I'm a minimalist with a few hobbies so what I save in money, I spend on what I love the most
Own this wheel and can confirm its amazing quality in every way
I think this wheel is super nice and definitely was considering it, the thing that made me stop was how much heavier this wheel is then other comparably priced wheels, even with screens.
do you think that extra weight is a con?
Personally I don’t. I’ve had this for about 2 months. Absolutely flawless in my opinion and as long as your wheel base is 10+nm you’ll be fine
On the more budget oriented side being a moza user i will be getting a KS wheel and if the guns are available ill get the GS to complement my CS wheel that's built like no other at $249 a equivalent from someone like fanatec with similar build quality cost $349 the club sport RS all i know is i need a gt3/F1 style wheel at some point
Wish it was in stock!
Looks so nice i want one ... Cant find one ;)
Nice Wheel. But somehow it doesn't spark the itch that I have to have it. Don't know why...
Also will you make a Review of the Simtrecs Pedals in the future?
Not related to this review I guess, but if you could make any changes to the Moza FSR what changes would you make? I think all I would do is put the customizable buttons from the KS on it and change having to pull in the clutch to change the screen on the go, and I know a lot of people want simlab compatibility with the screen.
Screen that’s compatible with Simhub.
Love Mine…
Good Review. Thumbs up for this. The wheel overall is not bad. What I not like at all is the additional porwer supply. This is absolute unnessecary. Other wheels have a simmular amount of LEDs and work with what they get from the 5V USB. For example my BavarianSimTec Omega Pro wheel has 87 programmable LEDs and works flawless with just one USB. I use (and love) my Asetek base and the QR from Asetek. But this wheel is not a good idea if you like to make it "wireless".
Weird you had the stickers fall off....I put a couple on crooked and couldn't get the damn things off for the life of me. Had to order a plastic knife and fight like hell to get them off.
Hey man, would you share with us the profile you have for the MPX!😁
about the weight, 1.7kg. A real F1 wheel is 1.3kg (!). I like this grid wheel anyway, will have on my watch list :)
Hey will do you know when you are going to be doing a review of the turn Dash
Probably wont be revieweing any dashes for a while unless it's something really different. They're all a bit same same and we're absoltuely flat out with other reviews at the moment.
Is Fanatec the only DD wheels on PlayStation?
No, Logitech’s G PRO also has a PlayStation version. It’s very expensive though. There’s a review on this channel.
Still gonna release M4GT3 wheel review?
Working on it
Zero thought was put into placing the funky switches.
Is it me or it kinda look a lot like the wheel on the Ferrari GT3 96
Not a fault of Boosted Media but it would be nice if these reviews were able to be published closer to the release date of the actual products. Seems like most other industries line up that way anyway when doing product reviews.
Unfortunately we don’t have the ability to publish 10 reviews per week. We do our best.
This or extra £300 for GSI Hyper SL ?
I’ve just ordered the MPX V2, and they are doing $100 discount plus you get the additional 5% off with the boosted media code…I’m not a fan of the GSI SL shape and think it is overpriced…particularly as it doesn’t come with a hub adapter as standard !!
can you share this profile?
Nothing of the mentioned points justify the price. The electrinics/signals and light shows can easily be handled by arduino micros. The materials of choice are not suitable. I dont expect cheap rubber grips. In my eyes this is a full rip off ... just to keep the nose high of a few... sorry im still fast on a t150. Believe it or not ^^... i upgraded a year ago to a MOZA R5 bundle/Brake performance Kit/ and a real CFK faceplate from acelyth. I couldnt be happier ... those rims just make my head shake but nothing else.
And the grips are not even replacabke ... OMG
Not only Lewis hates this wheel xD
good quality, but i return mine and have refund.. if that funky switches are just one buton down will be perfect wheel.. when i drive long beach circuit, last 180 degres corner, every time i hit those full up funky buttons. For this prize wheel you dont want that. I need to say everything good for guys in Grid and they say no problem to return the wheel. Good luck to everybody in this buttons
I rather buy the Fanatec BMW GT4 wheels
its because it resembles Max Verstappen
Not the most attractive looking wheel ,it could be decorated. I did my logitec and it looks ace, but i shant mention the website because google pull your blogs, ridiculous .
I think wheel decoration is subjectively appreciated, by individual users. I personally prefer mine plain black, but i can understand the attraction though.
@@styxxtheanimal5720 The black mercedes design with the magenta looks really nice .
Ascher - all day long.
I went from an Ascher to this, and prefer this one in every way besides the funky position (which I've grown to like more and more over time with the MPX). Both are great wheels in any case.
It’s just too damn expensive…
what I don’t think anyone is mentioning the horrid placement of the two joystick dials above both hands.
The placement for these is horrible, say you get or spin or whatever, and your wheel violently throws itself around…
I got rear ended and it was almost manageable to save the car but when the wheel over corrected, my finger / hand got caught on this little dainty button and it popped right off…
It’s only fasted with a tiny rod of stainless that’s 1/8” thick on a good day…
For a wheel of this price and the rest of the quality
This is just an extremely poor design choice
I can’t imagine the company isn’t aware of this if they had done some proper testing
It only take a few incidents on track until this pice is either completely bent in the wrong direction and a matter of time till it falls off…
This button either needs to be held together by something stronger, relocated, or completely removed/ redesigned
This was on about 12nm of force too so it’s not like I have some ridiculous wheel settings
I miss the hyper realistic racing on this channel. Recently it's just reviews and more reviews. Sad emoji face.
fr
Obviously makes more money this way
We’ve just been flat out these past few weeks. There will be more racing videos later this week hopefully :)
NOT FOR ME
What a terrible thumbnail, sorry guys but that is very poor. Nothing to do with the video and didn't think you guys went that low.
the cult spreads far and deep I see
If they don’t click, they don’t watch.
@@boostedmediaI know, it's what everyone else does and what gets clicks and views. But I'll find a different review today for this product. Just some feedback, you guys are so professional but this stuff creeps in and ruins it.
Blame RUclips and its algorithm, not the people who are forced to operate in that environment, like Will here.
Exactly.
I'm sorry but such cheap & misplaced stickers on the front are a joke at this price point. Peripheral companies are just robbing people from their wallets while being able to use super cheap components that have a high quality "feel", you guys know these things are just button boxes with a frame right?
the owner puts the stickers on themselves, as is the case with basically every high end wheel. not a GRID issue, it's a Will issue haha
@@callsignbh my point is you can have a swappable label rather than a few time use label or one that requires the end user to adhere it. The BOM for this wheel I am willing to bet is under $250
@@callsignbh And you furthered my point the we are just letting peripheral makers rob people by setting such a low bar
@@uncultured3705BOM is only one part of bringing a product to market, you can’t look at the BOM and say this is around where the product should cost. You’re missing the forest for the trees.
I kind of agree w this. And we can whoop snobby sim racer asses w a g27
Who cares what Lewis Hamilton thinks.
The GOAT
A lot of us do.
He didn't say anything about the wheel. It's just clickbait, I thought he had something to say about it when I saw the thumbnail but I was wrong.
