I'm using a Logitech DFGT and it's excellent. Pick one up used from the bay for under £100

Thanks for the replies..
Been looking at the Logitech DFGT but was put off with the buttons as opposed to paddles at rear..how do you find gear changing?
The durability was a factor in swaying towards the f430 wheel, how is the build quality on it?

They are more than buttons they are paddles of sorts not like a g25/27 though, the gear lever is nice for changing gears too.
Build quality is great as far as i'm concerned, I've never used the f430 wheel but I can't imagine its as good at the DFGT the 900 degree's is great in Asseto Corsa.
Lots of people including me are using the DFGT and its not a lot different to the dfp, I ran a dfp for ages it'll be great with Assetto Corsa.
I have DFP, and would choose a second hand (£30 on ebay?) DFP (=DFGT) over any Speedlink wheel any time. DFP/DFGT have optical sensors in the wheel which means the wheel will stay very precise after months and years of racing. +very decent (albeit slow compared to G27 and of course T500) FF. F430 is good but only 270 degrees, DFP/DFGT are 900 deg.
For racing proper, DFGT=DFP are plenty good enough imo, but for drifting proper even G27 is too slow with its FF, need T500rs. If FF is too slow you need to do all the wheel turning yourself.
Drifting with T500 wheel
Drifting in real life- see how quickly the wheel spins itself (1:04)

Thats a nice setup.
Whats the vertical monitors that match the horizontal one so well.
OLED might advance that cause as I think it can do borderless far easier & saw a curved tv advertised the other day

It is. Just a pity his FOV is close to double what it should really be if he's trying to get a realistic viewpoint.
From the youtube vid description :

It's very pricey but I would say it is worth it as I love mine. I'm not really sure what is going on with OCUK's price though as I get mine from here in November for £330.

This is shaping up well but I can't justify myself taking a risk on a sim that doesn't have either AI or online at the moment.
yeah especially if drifting as well I hear its the best all round, was that price with the shifter aswell?
Got my wheel. Will have to get in touch with them to see if I can get better support as it doesn't allow me to use d-pad currently, and thinks multiple buttons are same button...
However, after my initial tinkering with setup and sensitivity, already so much nicer than a pad.
The pedals are small and disappointing, but I do like the wheel itself. For £50, it will do

It's a shame you couldn't stretch to a proper force feedback wheel as it makes such a big difference. Still, don't want to put a dampener on your purchase, as long as you like it
It's a step up from a pad. If you end up liking it lots you could always upgrade.It's a shame you couldn't stretch to a proper force feedback wheel as it makes such a big difference. Still, don't want to put a dampener on your purchase, as long as you like it
If I could have found one south of £100, I would have done so.
Used to have an old MS force feedback wheel, but for a long time I didn't touch racers and so got rid
Did the same with a joystick I used to like - wasn't playing anything to use it for some time, so dumped it
Lesson learned - sometimes things gather dust. Just let them gather it.
Oh well, at least this wheel vibrates
Still, hope I can get the button stuff sorted.
