Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best products ive bought. Its absolutely amazing i highly recommended buying

Product came from Best Buy without the required power supply. Contacted Turtle Beach and they said they do not have extra power supplies in stock. Hate seeing what appears to be a good product thrown away because of a missing but crucial and simple part. Power supply appears to be nothing crazy but uniquely provides 24V at up to either 3A or 6A. Haven’t been able to get a straight response from anyone and the store won’t let me look in another box. Fairly certain this unit will be returned and trashed. Insane

Introduction Before actually trying out the Turtle Beach VelocityOne KD3, I found myself doing a bit of research to get a good feel for what I might be in for with this amazing setup. The KD3 is Turtle Beach’s first serious entry into sim racing hardware—a direct-drive wheelbase bundled with a simple two-pedal set. I’ve had time to set it up, race with it in RaceRoom Racing Experience on PC, and get a feel for where it shines and, in my opinion, where it still has some growing pains. Here’s my take. Setup & First Impressions Unboxing is straightforward: wheelbase, steering wheel, pedal unit, power supply, and cables. Assembly is quick—mount the base to a desk or rig, plug the pedals into the wheelbase, and connect one USB cable from the base to the PC. With the Turtle Beach Tuner app installed, firmware updates were easy, and switching the base into PC mode through the onboard display was painless. Within minutes I had it calibrated and recognized by Windows. Beware, however…you need to read through the included literature, watch a couple of videos, and have some patience. Otherwise the setup will not be quite as easy as it could be. I had a bit of an issue finding a place to mount the wheel. The table I wanted to mount it to did not have a wide enough edge. And two tables later, I found one that would work. This is not a negative comment by any means. The wheel is rather substantial, you really need a good solid surface to mount it to. Otherwise you will pull it off the first time you grip and pull on the wheel. The hardware itself feels solid. The aluminum pedals have adjustable tension, and while there’s no clutch pedal in this bundle, the brake and throttle both respond smoothly. The wheel has a premium weight to it, and the built-in Race Management Display is a standout feature, letting you tweak force feedback, steering rotation, and profiles without ever leaving your game. All things being considered, the setup was fairly painless. Well, until I tried to use it with Race Room Racing Experience. Windows 11 recognized the setup right off the bat. RRRE did not, so there was a lot of mapping to do. And that in turn involves a lot of remembering. But after a couple of hours, it was like I had been doing it for years. Performance on the Track The KD3’s direct-drive motor delivers up to 3.2 Nm of torque—enough to make racing immersive without being overwhelming. Steering feels responsive and detailed: you can actually sense road texture, curbs, and weight transfer through the wheel. It may not rival high-end Fanatec or Moza units in raw power, but it strikes a good balance between strength and accessibility. In RaceRoom, once I mapped controls manually, the system worked smoothly. Pedal input was accurate, with progressive brake resistance that made trail braking more natural than I expected from a two-pedal kit. Paddle shifters are magnetic, giving a satisfying click with each gear change. The Good • Solid build quality across wheel and pedals. These are substantial quality components, not flimsy pot-metal junk • Direct-drive feedback with impressive clarity for the price point • Race Management Display is genuinely useful for live adjustments • Easy setup with Turtle Beach Tuner app and firmware updater • Compatible with Xbox and PC, making it versatile The Not-So-Good • Only two pedals (no clutch) limits options for manual H-pattern shifter setups. Of course, this is no big deal if this is your first setup. Otherwise you might kinda feel like you’re missing out on something. • Button layout is simpler than some competitors, meaning fewer mappable inputs. Again, not so bad, especially since you don’t have to tax your memory, or make up a cheat sheet. • 3.2 Nm of torque is immersive and enjoyable, but won’t satisfy hardcore sim racers chasing higher force levels • Initial game setup, like I experienced in RaceRoom, requires manual mapping, as native profiles are still catching up. There is a list of around 15 native profiles in RRRE My Verdict The Turtle Beach VelocityOne KD3 is a well-designed, approachable racing wheel bundle that brings direct-drive force feedback to a wider audience. What I mean by that is that direct-drive force feedback is something typically reserved for setups that are much more expensive and out of reach for a lot of us. It’s not the most powerful rig out there, and it skips the third pedal, but what it does offer—quality build, intuitive tuning, and immersive force feedback—makes it an excellent choice for newcomers and mid-level sim racers alike. For the price, it’s one of the most plug-and-play direct-drive systems you can buy right now. Score: 5 out of 5 stars – A strong setup from Turtle Beach, with a bit of room to grow if they want to target more experienced gamers. In the end, all I know is that I am enjoying the KD3 more than I thought possible. It makes racing games fun AND immersive. I will most certainly be recommending the Turtle Beach VelocityOne KD3 to my friends and family!

I got the Turtle Beach - VelocityOne Race KD3 for my 11 year old son that loves the racing games, as well as big truck ones like Farming Simulator. He plays on his gaming PC, but on the Xbox as well. I'm more of a flight sim guy myself, but to each their own! The presentation of the sterring wheel out of the box was top notch. You knew without looking at the instructions where every thing went. I was particuarly pleased to see that the pedals could be attached. Some other wheels we've used in the past have not allowed for that. The cable management for the KD3 was a nice feature in and of itself. We use a frame purchased online for the sterring wheel and pedal setup. Once everything is aligned and bolted on, no wiggle at all. Connecting it to the PC requires a bunch of key mapping, but that was to be expected and worth the time to get it done right. I'm not to keen on the placement of the Xbox buttons on the side of the column. I feel as if they are an afterthought. You can always just assign those to lesser used functions. But, with the wheel being able to be popped off in exchange for a Formula One style wheel, I get why the buttons are out of the way. All-in-all, really, the only thing missing here is an airbag!

This is my first experience with an over the top racing specific set up and I was pleasantly surprised. I grew up playing racing games on older consoles and used to love playing racing simulators with a seat, wheel and pedal set up at arcades when I was younger. I have kids now and thought this would be a fun way to introduce them to racing games and into something other than a tablet or a switch. First impressions were great, it came packaged really well and securely so that was a positive considering the initial investment for the setup. Once I took everything out of the box I was surprised by how heavy and solidly constructed everything feels. Nothing about this feels cheap and it really feels built to last. You do have the option to use this without a rig or dedicated mount but ended up ordering a rig that I will attach this to that can be folded up when not in use so it's easier to adjust and have kids play with you. My only complaint is the pedals work best when they are secured in some way so while they will work without a mounting system, depending on the space or set up in your home you may want to buy something to really set this up comfortably and securely for playing. Set up wasn't hard, there is an app that this goes with to help with updates and controls etc. We use an xbox and gaming laptops so I liked that this was compatible with both. The feedback and force from the wheel is surprisingly lifelike and brought a whole new level of fun to racing games we've enjoyed in the past. It sounds cheesy but this was actually fun for the whole family and we ended up laughing together a bunch trying to teach the kids how to drive and use the pedals etc. My spouse is more competitive with the racing games and commented on how different it is to experience a racing game with the racing wheel setup and appreciated that it felt more realistic than using a standard controller. If you're looking to add more fun into your gaming experience or laughing and learning together as a family, this is a great option for you and I'd highly recommend checking this out.

I am giving this a 4-star rating. I feel this is a little overpriced for what you get compared to what is out there. My first main gripe is that this only has the 2 pedals which they left out the clutch. I do not mind this that much, but I feel cheated out. They have an older model that comes with 3 pedals, so it feels a little bit of a setback. I enjoy using a shifter and having that clutch to use with games that utilize it. Another issue that I have is that this is only 3.2Nm of force feedback. Personally, I like this myself. But again, with this price tag, I think that should have been at least 5Nm of force. So that is something to consider. For me, I have another wheel that uses gears, and I think it is 2.1Nm of force. What I like is that this being a lot less Nm, I can have it set up with my desk and not feel like it will break my desk. Again, this is also a great starting point to get used to. Games. I play mostly on PC. Depending on the game, you may have to take some time to get this set up. But once you set it up, it is a lot of fun using. Most games, you can set up quickly depending on what you want to do for basic use. If you want to get a bit more in-depth with the game for buttons, then you will need to take some time to set up the buttons with what you want them to do. Like E-brake, look behind, to side, change camera view etc. The directional buttons are also only 4 ways. They do not have the corners (which would give you 8 keys instead of 4 if they did). The wheel itself and pedals feel great. There is a slight flat spot on the bottom of the wheel, not sure why they did not make the whole wheel round. But it's not that bad. I recommend getting at least a racing stand for this. They have one that you can get that will allow a chair to slide the wheels on that can help keep your chair or stand from sliding away. Or you can get nicer ones that come with a chair attached. I also like that they went to using USB-C. Just would like to have seen the cable that goes into the PC have a USB-C or USB-A. This is a USB-A to directly plug into PC. The power cord is also unique, and its own style plug as well. Again, would have like a USB-C power cord. I do recommend this if you are starting out.

I got this wheel set up after some experience with the previous velocity one wheel. This is a two pedal version that is expandable to a stick shift attachment and can quick switch to the f1 wheel that turtle beach makes. They do not have a separate 3 pedal base, but I'm sure that us something they may look at when expanding their racing line. I like like the older units's wheels power, more than this. Thhough this is a smaller Newton force, it still has good feedback. I use this on PC and set up is easy enough, download the turtle beech velocity one app, which I already had and you can set up and customize the buttons. I use this with forza 5 mainly and it seems to work pretty well. I like the size of the wheel, the texture of it, and the build is fairly good, sturdy even, though it is plastic. The pedals are good feel, and they do stay put on my vinyl plank flooring in my main gaming area, but also holds ok on my carpet. Button feel and spring is good, responsive. The little display seems to work well, but I just don't tend to look to much at it. Just used to using the screen. I do think this is a mid level price, some are below, many above, but having direct drive and capatability with my games. I give this 4 stars, and do reccomend it. I only deduct a half star again for the material, I think there should be more metal in anything I pay this much for that us going to have my feet pushing on them. I'm probsbly just over cautious because my other unit is still good. The feel is still real enough and makes sitting still feel a whole lot faster.

First off this is a direct drive wheel which if you're in the sim world is what you want versus a gear driven as you have better feedback which is definitely felt well in use with the 3.2 Nm of torque provided from the motor. The wheel itself has a rubber type coating which feels really nice and is much appreciated as the standard leather on other wheels tends to get fatiguing overtime. There is the standard magnetic paddle shifters, plenty of buttons including two sliders with push down in easy reach of the thumbs. The race management display is pretty sweet it goes all the way around and has a cool screen on it you can use to adjust settings on the fly period it also can provide real time telemetry data with supported games though I did not have any for Xbox I did use this with dirt for on PC and it really added to the experience overall. There is an app you can download to also set your settings for mobile or PC though I felt like I didn't need to use those to have the full experience so it's probably optional. The included clamp for mounting is very solid just how you would want it to be. I noted that when I tried using this on a plastic foldable table that it wasn't too sturdy but that's to be expected lol. It does however work beautifully on any SIM set up or solid computer desk or table. They came with high-quality cables that were pretty long both to connect to the Xbox/PC and another to connect from the steering wheel to the pedals including nice cable management straps. Drive unit being a little over 6 pounds makes it feel pretty solid as far as peace of mind but it's quality is high. There is adjustments for the tilt angle which is much appreciated as well as adjustable pedal pressure with the springs which is also a nice touch. Beyond the pretty crazy value that you get with all these specs out of the box it's also has an interchangeable wheel and they sell other designs that I noticed that looked pretty awesome as well definitely worth looking into. Overall I'd say for a direct drive wheel this thing is the real deal turtle Beach has really come a long way in the sim scene.

The Turtle Beach VelocityOne Racing System is ultimate system for racing. It includes everything you need- the force feedback wheel and base, force feedback motor, the pedals and stability pads, USB - C cable, USB -C to USB-A cable, power cable, table clamp and start up guide. The set up was fairly easy and only took a few minutes to assemble and mount. You may mount the system either as a temporary setup or you have the option to do it permanentiy. I personally wanted the convenience of portibilty so I did not mount it permanently. I really appreciate that everything you need is included in the set.  The system is made to feel lifelike, with the wheel having a soft textured cover and the pedals made from aluminum. There's two magnetic shift paddles for easy smooth shifting. The paddles have a nice clicking sound when you shift.  The digital display dashboard saves up to five different profiles. Everything looks and feels like it is decent quality, hopefully built to last. The K Force Feedback motor enhances your driving experience with 3.2Nm of peak torque and and up to 2160 degrees of rotation. The pedals can be customized and set to your preferred car. You will want to download the VelocityOne Tuner app to help customize and adjust your settings like remap the controls. The system has the ability to swap out interchangeable steering wheels to other Turtle Beach wheels. So far, the VelocityOne has been used with Xbox One and Forza 5. It's really taken the racing experience to the next level. It makes you feel like you're really driving with your hands on a wheel, the vibrations of the motor, and the utilzation of the pedals and paddles. Everyone is constantly battling for a turn at the wheel. It really offers hours of endless fun. This is the first racing system I own, so I am not able to compare to other models. But my first impression is that the VelocityOne Race KD3 Direct Drive Force Feedback Racing System is impressive. The system elevates the whole driving experience, making it feel more realistic.

I have been using the Turtle Beach VelocityOne for a while and can say it’s a major upgrade from my previous set up. It has direct drive with helps a lot with responsiveness and the real feel. I had a belt driven and you can her and feel the delay. No issue with this. It’s strength it really good. Not enough to break arms but enough to make you let go from the torque. It has a sleek design with the quick release that makes it easy to swap to an upgraded wheel if you purchase it. I played Assetto Corsa and EA Sports WRC with the wheel so far and it has been very smooth setting up and mapping the buttons. Speaking of buttons and setting up. This thing is full of buttons and has a screen to tell you race stats and telemetry one the wheel base. Adds to a premium and super cool experience. The mounting hardware makes it super easy to set up and mount. The cable connections are all USB C so super easy to replace or upgrade if needed. I love the inclusion of having USB C. It has extra ports for future upgrading. Definitely going to order the shifter/handbrake. This is a great wheel all around. Has all the features you expect and delivers on them. If you need a wheel I definitely recommend. Happy Racing!

I have been really enjoying using Turtle Beach - VelocityOne Race KD3 Direct Drive racing system. If you have never tried using a racing wheel and pedal system on any of your Xbox or PC racing games - you are missing out big time. You really have to try it to fully understand what this is really all about. Previous years I have been skeptical myself about this type of gaming, I thought this was just for kids, however nowadays this gaming accessory has been dramatically improved and brings a totally immersible (to a point), real life like driving experience into your home. The whole package presentation and unboxing was pretty cool to me, all the materials used from the racing wheel to the pedals are well made. When you hold the steering wheel, it feels amazing (I almost thought I wish I had that wheel in my car), it is comfortable, the paddle shifters and buttons are super responsive. It is a regular 300 mm steering wheel, made out of good quality hard plastic material. I secured the base of the steering wheel with the supplied desk clamp, that way it stays put and ready for sudden turns during gaming. The gas and break pedals are connected with a USB-C cable (supplied in the box) and you have a few additional ports available to you as well for any other future accessories. So the set up is pretty easy. Once everything is set, make sure to get your VelocityOne Tuner app and update your setup to the latest firmware, I would recommend keeping it up-to-date as Turtle Beach seems to push new updates and fix bugs often. The app will allow you to do more fine tuning and change settings like lighting and sensitivity, etc. One thing I noticed was each game pretty much required you to adjust settings. For example, in my Forza Horizon 5 I had to make sure that my buttons and pedals were correctly mapped. The overall gaming experience, where you actually feel the force feedback and torque is very enjoyable. I also brought this system to my friend who has a 3 curved OLED screen set up and man it was a totally immersive experience! I would definitely recommend this KD3 set to any beginner and intermediate player on Xbox or PC and truly wish it was also available to PlayStation gamers (hopefully some day!). Solid Racing Set up with solid fun experience!
