Jimmy, I had a wheel like that, I think you made a mistake by missing an important bit on that wheel! These type of wheels actually should have a button on the back or front of the wheel where you could change the mode from "keyboard" input type control to "wheel" input type control which would have allowed you to use it as a normal wheel with normal rotation, and pedals with normal input, etc. I suggest you doing another one video with these type of wheels, but with the normal mode! :D P.S. Did you install any drivers? That might have also caused an issue why the wheel and pedal inputs were not registered normally by the game. P.P.S. For anyone wondering, these type of wheels are still terrible, but you can use them for shitty racing experience if you are on a pocket money size budget :D Nowadays I have G920 - a million times better experience!
Few technical words about this "wheel" It comes from Poland XD Company name is spelled tracer, not T racer ;_; In Poland the asking price is 25-30 pounds, so you got it quite cheap. This company is known for making cheap "gaming" stuff and no one knows how this company still exists. The game that you got is sold for 1-2 pounds in newspaper stands. It would go really well with that wheel

I love the outside "Reveal". Your moms garden seems peaceful. Its like you need the pleasant birds and the water in the background to calm your rage after using this wheel.
Doesn't matter. The point was not to give the wheel a fair shake, but to shame it. On youtube anything that costs less than a few thousand is dismissed as utter shit.
@@tjfritts9013 I used a bit wheels from E5, Tracer etc. as I'm Pole and I have to say - they're rubbish. IMO still the best way to enter into simracing is to buy used DFGT or new T150 and don't give a fuck about each other wheels.
@@ricer34567 Basically. A few years ago I bought for 75 euros a G25. It would've cost more had the shifter worked properly. Just when I arrived at home, I removed the leather cover (and I think it's actual leather) and I only had to lift the broken fastener that holds the upper part of the leather cover. Easily one of the best bang for the buck I've ever experienced. Guys, don't buy that much new staff. You can find amazing things saving money, and likely older steering wheels will be easier to repair than the new designs.
@@tjfritts9013 It's not about money, this is just BAD no matter how cheap it is. Might as well just save up a bit more for a used DFGT, that was my first wheel.
My friend bought this wheel like 10 years ago. We tested this just for fun after 10 years, and it works like a wheel should work. We tried Pc2 and f1 2020.
I feel bad for the kids, parents who don't have alot of money (fair enough) and don't have any knowledge about racing wheels (also fair ) but they want to get their child a wheel they've been wanting like what they see on RUclips, but they expensive so the parents have to go for the cheapest wheel and a kid gets that for their Birthday, loves the idea of racing and goes to 'set up' the wheel, heart pumping only to find out it's that hunk of junk that doesn't even turn properly, Fuck the companies who make that shite because honestly, do You want to be the person who built that just so You can extort money of poor people who go for the cheapest option only to find out it's TERRIBLE! I feel so so bad for the people who must have brought that expecting fun only to get that "Glorified D-pad". Enough said.
It’s so sad man. It reminds me of the Boot Theory from Terry Pratchett in Men at Arms. It’s expensive being poor because you have to replace cheaper things more often and they have less use as they’re lower quality. Whereas rich people can afford the higher entry price for quality and can buy the item once and happily keep the item for years. So by the time you measured up in a couple of years, the poor people would’ve spent more money than the rich.
I completely agree. Its a waste of money, its a waste of time and its a waste of resources to make this plastic crap that basically belongs in the garbage. We as a planet need to stop making shit products that are just tossed into landfills
This was like the wheel I started on. It had no force feedback and only 90 degrees of rotation. I remember trying to play project cars and just failing miserably because the throttle and brake had no feel. You can kind of guess how much of a change it was when I got my thrustmaster tmx
@@ChrisBrown-ij4hv I recommend getting the Clubsport pedals first if you have to stagger your purchases. The pedals are less expensive than the wheel base and they'll provide a greater benefit. I raced a Thrustmaster wheel/Clubsport v3 pedals setup for a while with no issues.
@@savakujundzic As a parent, you should be an example and not roll over to bullshit like this. There is a big difference between being ungrateful for a gift, and feeling cheated or disappointed. If this is what you get your child, when they ask for steering wheel, and then be mad at them for not using it, then that is your fault for not accepting that the product is not as advertised. This has nothing to do with financial situation. Wasting 17 buck on garbage should enrage you more than your kid, if money is that tight.
This takes me back a bit. I started out a couple years ago on a logitech wheel from I think 2004 (ish) that I found at a thrift store for about $5. It had no force feedback, and 90 degrees of rotation in either direction really light feeling pedals. It was pretty much identical to that thing except it at least had analog rotation and pedal inputs out the box. I remember trying to play Assetto Corsa and RBR on it and eventually even setting ok (ish) lap times on it. Just a few months ago I upgraded to a g920 and dear lord it has been a night and day difference.
This wheel is sad I feel so bad for any kids who’s parents took one look at the price and said here I got you that wheel you always wanted. Kid: But but..... this wheel doesn’t work. Mum and Dad: Be grateful you got any wheel. Back in my day we didn’t have wheels... games for that matter to. 😳🤣
It’s really not that bad he just had it in the wrong mode I’ve seen another review on this wheel and he did the same thing he found out later there was a button he has to push to make the steering work correct if your not interested in spending $700-1800 for a wheel and not interested in FF and just a casual gamer this would be the wheel for you it actually works quite well you should watch his second video on it for 17 pounds it’s good shit hell of a lot better than a game pad the only thing I see a problem is the peddle travel would really take some getting used to it takes about 30Lb’s of force to use my break pedal
you can also go into joy.cpl and reconfig the wheel settings. as it was displaying a a joystick input for steering, so i feel that there could be potential
I've owned 4 Wheels, MadKatz, with an up down shift, which worked when it wanted to, 180 degree turn, which lasted year or 2 with hardly an usage down the track, then I got another cheap 180 degree wheel with vibration, with click shiftings, broke with hardly an usage. Then I got a wheel which claimed to be 270 degree's, yet it was 180 degree's, I returned that. Then I got my G920, which is still going after 1.6 years with heavy usage. Word of advice, keep away from cheap wheels.
always when you use one of thoose types of sterring wheel, you have to activate the command to let the analog function works. in this occasion , the master google helps a lot.
Well on the right side on the controls panel you have a preset activated called Digital Gamepad. Maybe that was the mistake. There seems to be more options via the left and right arrows. Maybe you give it a try and tell us if it helped
This has to be one of the Most Relaxing Video you have Made! Alone the begining of the video is just sooo relaxing~~ If the weather fits it you should more videos outside with those sound!
I used to have a similar wheel. It was called Logic3, it didn't have ffb or even vibration, just spring centering. The steering reached the maximum at about 45° (you could turn the wheel about 100°, but past 45 it wouldn't have any extra effect), and the steering was "notchy", from 0 to 45° you would get 4 or 5 places where the wheels would "click in", like it would jump from ) to 20% steering, to 40%, etc.
Jimmy, i believe that a lot of your grandfather is in you, he still lives on you! You're an amazing person, so i assume he was too! Now i have some ideais for you, i would like to see some honest steering wheel reviews and also some racing games reviews, like Assetto Corsa, comments about Gran Turismo Sport (70% sim maybe). In the case of the games would be nice for you to put some "stamps" on the games that trully are simulators (Assetto Corsa) and the ones that are not (Forza 7). And finally some track guides would be ULTRA NICE. I like this chanel very MUCH!
Watching this video brought me back to the Playstation 2 era playing the F1 2005 and Gran Turismo 4 on the Fanatec Speedster 3 holding it with my knees. It had a tiny display on the wheel base to change deadzone, sensitivity and also had a digital/analog mode selector. It brings a tear to my eye to remember those early teenager days already becoming a lazy ass spending most of my time playing sports and videogames.
I had the exact same shit around 10 years ago. This set also has a handbreak and sequential shifter add on. For a 10 year old boy. This was amazing. PS. This steering wheel has a button to enable turning degrees. If turned off it turns full lock. There is a button to enable degree controls for turning and pedals.
The 1980's just called, they want their "racing wheel" back haha When I was a kid I built a "wheel" from an old joystick, and some mechanio that was better than that lolz.
What this “wheel setup” says to me is that you don’t need the most expensive equipment to do the thing whether its vidya games, playing an instrument or a sport... buuuuut if you value your sanity, comfort and enjoyment of said thing, might want to splash out just a tiny bit.
Looking forward to the analogue follow up, thanks for taking one for the team and the laughs anyway. I like the garden, I moved to Australia from the UK 15 years ago and we don’t really do that level of lush around here. I worked close to Brands Hatch too, could hear the cars in the distance.
How in the world did you find this? XD Tracer is actually a polish brand, they make really cheap and not very solid accessories such as keyboards, headphones etc. And you can even find polish description ona that "free live for speed" sticker too XD I had no idea it's possible to find their products anywhere else than Poland
Love the outdoor video! Don't worry about the difference in quality between the rig. It's actually refreshing after being stuck inside for numerous millennia.
this is exactly how I drive using the keyboard controls. right left right left, on off on off, accelerate brake on off lol. this is an eye opener, dont buy cheap steering wheel gadgets. nice video.
The Tracer company is a budget gaming (mainly, they also sell budget smarthome stuff) brand in Poland. Thus the "Gra Gratis" (Free Game) and "Jeden z najlepszych symulatorów na PC" (One of the best PC simulators). Their keyboards, mouses, gamepads etc. are of similar quality.
Your mum has a lovely yard. I live with family as well and at 38 yrs old. Don't sweat it. Who really cares where you live, what matters is who you are as a person! Also with the amount of money you probably make, it wouldn't surprise me if you are paying most the bills anyways so yeah, nice yard, seems very peaceful
I've been getting more and more into sim racing and it's making me depressed that I'm still stuck with my Logitech G27... This video just 100% cured my depression. I knew I could count on you, Jimmy! I'll save that money and put it towards my future chassis and simucube 2!
My only sim racing wheel is a Logitech “Driving Force” force feedback wheel from I believe the late 2000’s, with no mounting gear and a nearly broken pedal connector, at a Goodwill for I believe it was either $10 or $15 dollars. I found a lower powered, but working dc barrel plug at home and I’ve fallen in love with sim racing! I use it with my VR setup in Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally, and cant wait until I’m able to afford something nicer, maybe a TMX or something similar.
Oh yes, the fabled Cheap Chinese Wheel Sold Under Various Names. I had a set of those waaaay back in the day, and used it until it completely broke. You guys know those elastic strings tracksuits have, so you don't have to use a belt? The center force of the wheel was kept by a pair of those. One of them snapped after like two months of use. The pedals fared better, and since both of them have the same spring tension, I even got some flight sim use out of them. And the worst thing is, that set was still better than the ones I bought before biting the bullet and investing in a proper rig (GXT 288 if I remember correctly, steer clear of these if possible). The UltraCheap ones lasted me for about a year and a half, the new one's pedals died after a month or so. A friend also got those after trying mine, and his perished in the same way. Also, that's a really nice garden Jimmy, as an apartment building dweller I envy your sheddy lifestyle.
I've used a wheel like this on GPL, GTR2, RFactor with a laptop and you can get some ok results - force feedback and heel and toe are out of the question. My solution? Junk the pedals, use the paddles for brake and accelerate and the buttons for clutch, up and down gears.
He couldn't. Even if he found a buyer, imagine the backlash if he would sell this for 200 and take the money. Charity or contest or something could work but probably not worth it either.
Jack Stevenson I use one it ok but you may have problem playing new games like f1 2019. You can check my laps in my channel using hori wheel which works good for most games
Right after you unboxed this I thought "Oh, it's small, has two pedals, no force feedback, must be like that one Thrustmaster Ferrari Challenge wheel for PC and PS2 I got for my birthday like 10 years ago, nothing spectacular but I could still apply steering and pedals better than the digital action on keyboard." Boy was I wrong!
I actually started out in simracing with a wheel like this. 180 degree, bungee cords, constantly needed fixing when the wheel broke off from the potentiometer. Eventually the downshift paddle stopped working and I had to downshift using a button
Up until two months ago, I was using a Microsoft SideWinder Precision Racing Wheel (no FFB) that I purchased for around $5 at my local second hand store. Just recently upgraded to a TMX and it's a huge improvement!

Jimmy got a paradise garden, the background noise is so soothing lol
1:12 this is in Polish, from where did you get it XD?
No właśnie też się ciekawie
Kierownica na amazonie z polską naklejką. Może się kiedyś dowiemy.
Well on the right side on the controls panel you have a preset activated called Digital Gamepad. Maybe that was the mistake. There seems to be more options via the left and right arrows. Maybe you give it a try and tell us if it helped
Please re-do this with a vaguely functional wheel. I love the idea of comparing super low end crap to reasonable gear!
This has to be one of the Most Relaxing Video you have Made!
Alone the begining of the video is just sooo relaxing~~
If the weather fits it you should more videos outside with those sound!
I used to have a similar wheel. It was called Logic3, it didn't have ffb or even vibration, just spring centering. The steering reached the maximum at about 45° (you could turn the wheel about 100°, but past 45 it wouldn't have any extra effect), and the steering was "notchy", from 0 to 45° you would get 4 or 5 places where the wheels would "click in", like it would jump from ) to 20% steering, to 40%, etc.
The wheel makes it look as though he’s driving with a keyboard
same with controllers
Jimmy, i believe that a lot of your grandfather is in you, he still lives on you! You're an amazing person, so i assume he was too! Now i have some ideais for you, i would like to see some honest steering wheel reviews and also some racing games reviews, like Assetto Corsa, comments about Gran Turismo Sport (70% sim maybe). In the case of the games would be nice for you to put some "stamps" on the games that trully are simulators (Assetto Corsa) and the ones that are not (Forza 7). And finally some track guides would be ULTRA NICE. I like this chanel very MUCH!
Watching this video brought me back to the Playstation 2 era playing the F1 2005 and Gran Turismo 4 on the Fanatec Speedster 3 holding it with my knees. It had a tiny display on the wheel base to change deadzone, sensitivity and also had a digital/analog mode selector. It brings a tear to my eye to remember those early teenager days already becoming a lazy ass spending most of my time playing sports and videogames.

1:38 Okay, that was extremely cool.
there is a hen behind you at the end, carefull when taking their eggs, they can be aggressive...
I had the exact same shit around 10 years ago. This set also has a handbreak and sequential shifter add on. For a 10 year old boy. This was amazing. PS. This steering wheel has a button to enable turning degrees. If turned off it turns full lock. There is a button to enable degree controls for turning and pedals.
Challenge idea: You with your setup vs Boiley with this 17£ setup
If anyone's interested, a good budget wheel with a clutch and shifter is the Logitech G25. Cheap and decent
It is as expensive in my area as the G29...
@@polyphonydigital I got mine for 100 pounds. How much is the g29?
@@briocheman21 In my area, its 1239PLN (with the shifter) and the G25 is 999PLN, used
(respectively: 237,72 pounds and 191,68 pounds)
@@polyphonydigital oh I got it fairly cheap
@@briocheman21 eh, frick my area. everything related to simracing is expensive here
Part of me can die happy now knowing that Jimmer is/was a Runescape child
This content is actually really fun, it's nice to see this kind of stuff along with the usual sim content. Thumbs up!
this new keyboard is amazing
The 1980's just called, they want their "racing wheel" back haha When I was a kid I built a "wheel" from an old joystick, and some mechanio that was better than that lolz.
What this “wheel setup” says to me is that you don’t need the most expensive equipment to do the thing whether its vidya games, playing an instrument or a sport... buuuuut if you value your sanity, comfort and enjoyment of said thing, might want to splash out just a tiny bit.
Looking forward to the analogue follow up, thanks for taking one for the team and the laughs anyway. I like the garden, I moved to Australia from the UK 15 years ago and we don’t really do that level of lush around here. I worked close to Brands Hatch too, could hear the cars in the distance.
1:19 The text on top says: game for free. The bottom text says: one of the best pc simulators. (it's in in Polish language).
The text about that included game says: "One of the best simulators on PC" xd
Don't hate on LFS bruh
But it doesn't say what it is best at simulating.

How in the world did you find this? XD Tracer is actually a polish brand, they make really cheap and not very solid accessories such as keyboards, headphones etc. And you can even find polish description ona that "free live for speed" sticker too XD I had no idea it's possible to find their products anywhere else than Poland
Love the outdoor video! Don't worry about the difference in quality between the rig. It's actually refreshing after being stuck inside for numerous millennia.
this is exactly how I drive using the keyboard controls. right left right left, on off on off, accelerate brake on off lol. this is an eye opener, dont buy cheap steering wheel gadgets. nice video.
This wheel needs a yeeting to the nearest ditch
Torrent lmao
yes lol
I mean, it has more buttons on the wheel than my G25 does.
The Tracer company is a budget gaming (mainly, they also sell budget smarthome stuff) brand in Poland. Thus the "Gra Gratis" (Free Game) and "Jeden z najlepszych symulatorów na PC" (One of the best PC simulators). Their keyboards, mouses, gamepads etc. are of similar quality.
There is an alien out there who's smashing records and kicking arse online with this wheel.
And I still can't afford it :(
Get a job :/
how?
Relatable

@@lukituki12 kinda hard right now
I've still got an old Logitech "Driving force" wheel that I got back in the day with V rally 3 for the PS2, and it's so much better than that POS.
Your mum has a lovely yard. I live with family as well and at 38 yrs old. Don't sweat it. Who really cares where you live, what matters is who you are as a person! Also with the amount of money you probably make, it wouldn't surprise me if you are paying most the bills anyways so yeah, nice yard, seems very peaceful
I've been getting more and more into sim racing and it's making me depressed that I'm still stuck with my Logitech G27... This video just 100% cured my depression. I knew I could count on you, Jimmy! I'll save that money and put it towards my future chassis and simucube 2!
Me who can't even buy this: *laughs in keyboard*
Keyboard is better than this wheel
Bruh, this was my old steering wheel...

This is like the wheel I used to painfully play gran turismo 4 on. Welcome the the world of the budget gamer jimmer
My only sim racing wheel is a Logitech “Driving Force” force feedback wheel from I believe the late 2000’s, with no mounting gear and a nearly broken pedal connector, at a Goodwill for I believe it was either $10 or $15 dollars. I found a lower powered, but working dc barrel plug at home and I’ve fallen in love with sim racing! I use it with my VR setup in Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally, and cant wait until I’m able to afford something nicer, maybe a TMX or something similar.
thanks you using MY idea :) love ya jimmer (joke btw)
Have you installed correct drivers to that wheel. I found it hard to believe that this his how it was intended to be
As silly as it is, he's got it in digital mode, as opposed to analog mode, so there's no gradient. Kind of a face-palm moment ;)
Oh yes, the fabled Cheap Chinese Wheel Sold Under Various Names. I had a set of those waaaay back in the day, and used it until it completely broke. You guys know those elastic strings tracksuits have, so you don't have to use a belt? The center force of the wheel was kept by a pair of those. One of them snapped after like two months of use. The pedals fared better, and since both of them have the same spring tension, I even got some flight sim use out of them. And the worst thing is, that set was still better than the ones I bought before biting the bullet and investing in a proper rig (GXT 288 if I remember correctly, steer clear of these if possible). The UltraCheap ones lasted me for about a year and a half, the new one's pedals died after a month or so. A friend also got those after trying mine, and his perished in the same way.
Also, that's a really nice garden Jimmy, as an apartment building dweller I envy your sheddy lifestyle.
I've used a wheel like this on GPL, GTR2, RFactor with a laptop and you can get some ok results - force feedback and heel and toe are out of the question. My solution? Junk the pedals, use the paddles for brake and accelerate and the buttons for clutch, up and down gears.
pls no destroy-reno jimmer
I mean you could literally sell it for 200£ now haha
He couldn't. Even if he found a buyer, imagine the backlash if he would sell this for 200 and take the money. Charity or contest or something could work but probably not worth it either.
Touched by the hands of Jamble Wanglebork, James Broadbandson, Shed Sherran and Jimmer
Outstanding value if you ask me
I love the background noise in your backyard.
Richard Burns Rally with arrow keys is also a nice experience, but you can program the curve of turning and the pedals. It's an awesome game!
JIMMERRRRRRR
getting a £85 one for my birthday, Hori Apex wheel. People say its good for the price so I'm hoping it is
Jack Stevenson I use one it ok but you may have problem playing new games like f1 2019. You can check my laps in my channel using hori wheel which works good for most games
That was actually the first wheel I ever bought
@@007KIMITANO thanks, I'll check em out. Are there problems with F1 2019 then? If so what's wrong and are they fixable?
it's just like the wheel on this video
Don't - try and find a second hand G29 or T150 they'll be miles better.
Use this wheel for a week and replace your direct drive (like so he can see)
It suddenly dawns on me what wheel the devs of snowrunner used while developing that little gem of a game!
Right after you unboxed this I thought "Oh, it's small, has two pedals, no force feedback, must be like that one Thrustmaster Ferrari Challenge wheel for PC and PS2 I got for my birthday like 10 years ago, nothing spectacular but I could still apply steering and pedals better than the digital action on keyboard." Boy was I wrong!
8:22 The best description of this product.
Glad to see you back jimmy
i love that garden. so peaceful
Jimmy: Bought The Cheapest Sim Racing Wheel
Me:Are You Challenging Me
The dry humour just tops it off keep it up homie your a big influence in why I love Sim racing 🤙🤙😂
I actually started out in simracing with a wheel like this. 180 degree, bungee cords, constantly needed fixing when the wheel broke off from the potentiometer. Eventually the downshift paddle stopped working and I had to downshift using a button
Up until two months ago, I was using a Microsoft SideWinder Precision Racing Wheel (no FFB) that I purchased for around $5 at my local second hand store. Just recently upgraded to a TMX and it's a huge improvement!
😂😂😂 soon as you pressed the brake with your hand I couldn't stop laughing!
