Like the title hinted at, I currently have a Fanatec porsche 911 turbo s wheel with the Clubsport pedals that I bought a while ago because it worked on both PC and Xbox 360.

Now it doesn't work on Xbox One because Microsoft, it's discontinued and after playing with it (With my Oculus DK2) for a few nights straight I think it doesn't feel all that great.

I'd like to know what you guys think would be a worthy upgrade?

The G27 is probably the most supported wheel out there and it's relatively cheap but does it really feel that much better than what I currently have?

The new Fanatec wheels cost $500 for the base and a few hundreds more for the wheel, so I think it's a little expensive, especially considering I haven't been that thrilled with my Fanatec wheel.

Thanks for your time!

I think G27 would be big downgrade from your current wheel. At least that's what I've heard from guys who has moved from G27 to different Fanatec wheels.

If your budget allows some more expensive choices then the T500RS would be the way to go. Like CardsetCrazy mentioned above the G27 would just be a downgrade of your current wheel.

Also I could assume Fanatec's GT3RS and GT2 wheels would be also quite a bit better, but I haven't really tested Fanatec's wheels myself, so I can't say anything.

Except the CSW is a high-end wheel, compared to a low to mid-end wheel like you have now. A GT3RS V2 wheel would be a littleupgrade, so perhaps not worth all that money. A CSR or CSR Elite would also be an option because they're new wheels. You either love or hate the looks of those wheels though, but the components are great.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Maybe I'll try tweaking the settings on both the wheel and in-game to see if I can make things better.

There's some info here suggesting a hack using Xinput that may get your wheel working with the xbox one. Seems to be unstable though.
Then there's a hardware fix using cronusMax and a wireless microsoft thingy that seems to work.

Including this post !
"Awesome news. My wheel was made for the Xbox 360, it will also work with a PC. I purchased a low cost PC program from the UK called Live For Speed a few years ago which works great with the Fanatec setup, the amazing thing though is a couple of weeks ago they sent me info on a new 3D upgrade, a free upgrade. I tested LFS on our 3D TV hooked up to my laptop via hdmi cable and after adjusting the parameters a bit it works fantastic in 3D. So my setup has all that I mentioned before plus a nice chassis built by Bob Earl Racing and I attached a Buttkicker shaker to the back of the seat that is hooked up to a sub-woofer. I would hate to lose the realism moving over to the Xbox One, it works great.
I will spend some time tomorrow checking out Xinput and your links. I will no doubt purchase CronusMAX soon also. Thanks for the information! I can't wait to get it all setup."

Don't know if they read the forum but they will know better than I do.

There is a proper forum section for these questions

Thanks for your time!

That's more than what I paid for my first car. I was in Vegas for a week and didn't spend that much. My son makes controllers.... and I thought his asking price of $275 was steep. Wow. 500 dollars for a wheel.

I dunno. If I had 500 bucks to spend on home entertainment - I'd call an escort service - no wait..
If I had that, I'd get one of those 1/32 scale slot car tracks.

There are different wheel categories.
- Entry level is logitech dfgt (if we ignore the most cheapest wheels).
- Then you have the mid level wheels. Fanatec 911 turbo s, gt3rs, gt2, g27, g25.
- After that you get to the upper mid level where you basically get the best you can buy with reasonable amount of money: fanatec csw and thrustmaster tr500. Then there is the oddball wheel which is the fanatec csr-e which is basically csw with xbox compatibility but also lacks some of the bits the csw has. The csr-e is not the same as the fanatec csr which is basically 911 turbo s with the csr-e wheel rim.

Basically all the fanatec wheels that have the same plastic base (except the early 911 and gt-something wheel are extremely similar) are the same wheel for pc sim racing and the only difference is the wheel rim style and material. The csr-e and csw have the new base which is basically one step above the mid level wheels.

After that it gets insanely more expensive. You get the eccis, frexes, with way over 1000€ price tags. And after that at about 2000+€ there is the accuforce and simsteering wheels with their servo motors. And those prices are without pedals.

If you want a better wheel but not spend the money you could look for used tr500 or csw.

Those are basically all the same wheel without the xbox compatibility and with different rim material/style.
