Pricing Update
Hey everyone,
The last few months have been crazy for us. We've been working day and night to prepare for our Kickstarter launch, constantly making adjustments and improvements to our product. After doing a ton of testing and attending SimRacing Expo in Germany, we've received some incredible feedback. So, we implemented some new features to Feel VR, which means we had to recalculate manufacturing costs.
Our goal has always been to be affordable, but without compromising quality. So we're sticking to our motto. We want to give you guys the best possible product, for the best possible price.
We also did some more in-depth cost calculations to make sure we're not one of those Kickstarter campaigns that don't deliver the product as promised. We're in this for the long run.
The new pricing is as follows:
Pedals:
Wheel:
Wheel + Pedals:
In other news, we've decided not to limit the quantity of Early Birds. What does that mean? You've got a full 48 hours to purchase Feel VR at Early Bird prices once the campaign launches! To sign up for updates and to learn more, visithttp://get.feelvr.game. We appreciate your support so far, and we can't wait to finally share Feel VR with you all.
Sincerely,
Feel VR Team

People on FB groups moaning about them increasing from the initial comms...as you say, still cheap for a DD wheel and pedals. If they're serious, which they appear to be, that's still a good price.
Soldato
I’d like to know what the new features are, but I’m still interested.
Soldato
Has there been any information from people who have tried this yet?

I mean, it's a prototype so problems are to be expected. However, I wouldn't be happy putting my money down until I know drivers are any good and the parts to replace the 3D printed bits are going to be decent.

Id rather buy this https://sim-pli.city/collections/all/products/sw7c-7nm-direct-drive-wheel
Soldato
Yeah, that was mentioned in the comments of the video, thanks for the link. I assume this is just the running gear, no wheel or buttons?
Soldato
Correct. Cheapest wheel and button box ive seen is £400.

£389 early or £424 after 48hrs.
£60 delivery.
Nov release. Happy to pledge at that I think.
It’s reached 100% pledge total already.

I took a punt a pledged (after a couple of beers), fingers crossed it will pay off
Soldato
Also pledged. Backer 129 not sure if that’ll have any bearing on getting them sooner.
Soldato
Backed it for now, but will decide whether to keep my pledge before close. Depends on the updates they push to kickstarter. Somewhat annoyed wheels don't seem to have a d-pad?
Soldato
Yeah a dpad would be great. It’s not the final product though so there’s a chance...

Can’t see them adding one now, we can but hope. It’s not a deal breaker for me, using the game pad isn’t the end of the world
