Hori - Racing Wheel Overdrive for Xbox Series X|S - Black

This is a great starter wheel, although I'm not entirely a beginner. I had a nice wheel with Xbox 360 years ago, but to my dismay, it was not compatible with Xbox One when I upgraded last year. This is my reentry into racing games, so it is much more fun than 'driving' with a controller. In my research, I wanted to make sure it was compatible with Xbox One and most NFS titles. Some disappointments, not necessarily HORI's fault: I thought it came with suction cups, although it looks like it has holes underneath for them; it does not have vibration. At this price point you'd think it would include some vibration; the clamping system is a bit kludgy. The wheel stand I chose to buy did not list HORI, but I thought I could use the clamping system as described on HORI's product page, but as you can see, I had to improvise. And it would have been nice if the wheel and pedals had a few pre-tapped template patterns so it can bolt to a wheel stand. I assume it uses a kind of bungee system to return to center which is OK but it kind of snaps back a little too hard if you let go. The pedals are passable, they work OK. No accessory shifter with this unit, but I knew that. If shifting is important to you, move on to something else. Best Buy's price was excellent and so far, it's been fun.

I play a lot of F1 with this wheel. Not the best, but does the job!

Fun to drive but seems a little off. Worried it could break or get loose.

Excellent product If you are looking to elevate your racing experience in games like Forza Motorsport, F1 23, or Assetto Corsa without breaking the bank, the HORI Racing Wheel Overdrive is an excellent choice. After testing it on my Xbox Series X, here is my detailed breakdown:  1. Build Quality & Design Despite being an entry-level wheel, it doesn't feel like a toy. It is a full-size racing wheel with a sturdy build. The rubberized grips provide great handling during intense turns, and the paddle shifters have a satisfying, tactile click. The clamping system is also surprisingly robust, keeping the wheel secure on my desk even during aggressive maneuvers.  2. Customization (The Best Feature) What sets this wheel apart is the companion app. You can program buttons, adjust dead zones, and even change the turn ratio from 270 degrees to 180 degrees on the fly. This flexibility is great for switching between realistic simulators and arcade-style racers like Need for Speed.  3. Pedals The foot pedals are large and stable. While they are made of plastic, they feel responsive. I particularly liked that you can adjust the pedal sensitivity to match your driving style, which helps a lot with braking precision.  4. Performance The steering is precise and offers a much more immersive feel than a standard controller. However, it is important to note that this wheel does not have Force Feedback (FFB). It uses a bungee-cord return system, so while you get resistance when turning, you won’t feel the bumps in the road or the loss of traction like you would on more expensive models (like the Logitech G923).

the steering wheel is very good, i wish it had force feedback or vibration but overall it’s very good and i recommend this for beginners.
