Love my Hyper P1! Let's go! I also have the MPX and agree with your thoughts on the grips of the P1. I love both, but also notice a slight pinch on the P1 given my admittedly large thumbs. Great review.
I’ve been using my P1 for a couple of months now, even as a VR only racer. The ergonomics and build quality alone made it worth the purchase, and with the new Hyper SL being announced without a screen, that might be the ideal wheel for me. I don’t see myself getting rid of this wheel, though. I have a Turn R320 with an Ascher box that I used while waiting on my P1 order, and still use for older cars and lower class GT cars, as well as a generic round wheel for rally/oval. Both of them are great for what they do, but pale in comparison to the P1. If it is within your means, absolutely give it a try. Although, GSI, if you’re reading, a rally button plate and perhaps some consideration to the SC2 wireless functionality would make me a customer for life
The encoder setting “On Release” enables them to be used with two layers, turn left & right, push+turn left & right, and push. Means you can use for instance one rotary for TC1 (turns), TC2 (push&turn), and TC toggle (push).
My issue is when I want to use the push left/right, it still actuates the push on release. So when I map a push function, I can't map a push left/right. E.g. I have change dash on push left/right and pause on push, so whenever I want to change the dash I pause the game
Very nice video production quality! As for the wheel, it’s a dream one for me. It’s a pity both my pocket and my Fanatec DD wheel base can’t afford it.
So close to pulling the trigger, but I only own a cube controls F pro. So debating weather I should get a d or roubd wheel like Max32. I gen just race gt3 and prototypes. I do have smaller hand size you think the thick grips would be a big issue? Ps another amazing review!! And its hands down the most beautiful wheel I have seen the gradient LEDS are just stunning.
I hardly ever use a round wheel anymore. I'm not sure about the grips for you, I don't have very large hands and it has not been an issue for me. It really is a stunning looking wheel and the gradient LED's are very cool.
@@simracingden Yea I think this will be under my X mas tree, that inverted pedal deck for my ASR6 , Simucube Active pedal simtrecs throttle and a nice new button box. Thus hobbie is uber addictive lmao thanks again.
So telemetry from simhub will not work on SC version only on usb version? It is confused as i saw usb port on the released models and was thinking that simhub will work instantly on it
I haven't tried the Ultimate yet, but it seems similar to the Artura Pro with a screen and Leds , which I have tested and reviewed. Choosing between the two could be challenging depending on your preferences. I personally prefer the button cap design on the Ascher wheels over the P1. On the Hyper P1, you can't change the caps or labels unless you customize it direct from GSI. I also appreciate the look and overall design of the Hyper P1. While I liked the paddles better on the P1, Ascher's new paddles are fantastic. The chunky grips on the Hyper P1 suit my preferences, but this is subjective as some people may not like them. Both wheels are great, and I believe you wouldn't be disappointed with either of them. Once I have the opportunity to review the Ultimate, I'll be able to make better comparisons to the Hyper P1.
What I am really searching for is a screen based wheel that would work both in open wheel iRacing and GT style racing in ACC and iRacing. So many different ones to choose from atm. I have looked at the Hyper, the Ascher, Cube Controls offerings. Not necessarily set on a screen display as getting a separate display unit could be a better go, esp when using a wheel in VR. My local Microcenter has the Pro Formula Elite gSI open box for $450 so was thinking that for GT, and then something else for open wheel haha… so many choices… Any recommendations on others to consider I am all ears. Thanks for such a quick response.
@@justinmuntean7689 honestly one of my favourite non-display wheels still is the GRID MPX and there new V2 makes it even better. But yes I hear you its really hard to decide these days.
I hear you, I do prefer the 5" display on say my GRID Porsche RSR, but it seems the trade-off on the Hyper-P1 is some additional buttons and inputs which is a plus.
If I had to buy an LMP and F1 wheel without a worry of a GT wheel this would be the one! Formula Pro is killer for GT3 with it’s extra diameter for sure. Both are incredible. Great review 😎
Wow, this steering wheel certainly catches the eye with its plethora of buttons, knobs, rotaries, and funky-switches! It’s quite impressive, but let’s be real here - I’d wager that about 90% of sim racers struggle to even use the 10-finger typing system on a keyboard. And now, we’re introduced to a wheel that sports almost as many controls. I find this both amusing and intriguing; who exactly is the target audience for this? Nevertheless, it does look fantastic. The quality appears top-notch, but honestly, it could be just as effective with half the number of buttons. It’s an interesting design choice, offering a unique blend of complexity and style, but it might be a bit overkill for the average user. 😉
perhaps Moza Racing has more affordable formula options with a display under $1000 in the $1000-$1500 range. There are a few options. The cube controls CSX-3 and Delta Sim Tech come to mind. I've heard good things about them but haven't had a chance to try or review them yet.
hope anyone can help me out on this: i have been looking at the P1 And the fpev2, my problem(ish) is that im not really sure wich of the two i should get. price wise one would recommend the fpe, however, looking at it, the look of the rotary buttons is not really my style on the fpe, but i would settle for it if need be. so my real question is: is there a big difference between the two that would make someone get one above the other?
Hey! I haven't tried the FPE V2 yet, but from what I can see there isn't any major differences they are different style wheels with alot of the same features.
Sorry I've been slacking on the news just have so many products to review and film right now its been taking up all my free time. I hope to get back on track with the news soon.
The Hyper P1 was my first wheel purchase and I absolutely love it. Have another GSI wheel arriving today! The functionality through SimHub is amazing. The spotter system running to the LEDs on the buttons is incredibly helpful during races. I’m so pumped to be adding another GSI wheel to my collection.
@@jeroenschilderink7894 I've never owned or reviewed a Cube Controls wheel; I've had some limited time with them on other rigs, so can't make a comparison just yet,
@@pedro_castanheira more inputs, funky switches on either side, paddles feel the best. Lighting is customizable, grips the most comfortable, feels more like a wheel made for sim racing vs trying to replicate real wheels they are all good in their own rights but if I was choosing between the three it would be the GSI for me.
@@simracingden thank you for your reply. I have the Hyper P1 but I'm selling mine since I don't like the grips nor the aesthetic of the wheel so I was looking for the better replacement.
@@pedro_castanheira oh I see ok, I would consider the VPG then I liked it better over Pokornyi’s LMPH wheel. But have not tried the Hyp-R but that is a diy product you would have to build. I would take a serious look at the Soelpec Spectra XR I’ve not tested it but looks interesting.
It's way too expensive!! Price point should have been $1,100-1,250 USD, but then again with slow hand built production, I don't blame them as this is how they curtail demand.

@@drchtctyou have the dials in the wrong mode
Ordered mine a few weeks ago. Fantastic piece of equipment! Highly recommend!
Enjoy!
It’s definitely a dream wheel. If I ever buy a high end wheel it’s more than likely going to be a GSI one.
This looks so great, i really hope the new Hyper SL really is the same, jsut without the display, as that would be perfect.
As far as I understand its exactly the same but without the display which should be great for those that dont want the display or already have a DDU.
Very nice video production quality! As for the wheel, it’s a dream one for me. It’s a pity both my pocket and my Fanatec DD wheel base can’t afford it.
Thanks! I hear you these wheels aren't cheap.
Hi ,
Am I correct in thinking the Hyper P1 works fine with the DD base if it’s connected via the Fanatec HUB?
@@Perfectionvalet yes correct

Tbh this wheel has the ideal perfect button layout. They really got it right with this one!
Agreed!👍
Great video. I'm debating between Hyper P1 and Bavarian Omega Pro.
What would you choose between the two?
Thanks! I haven't tried Bavarian’s wheels yet.
I wonder how this compares to the Ascher McLaren Ultimate? Anyone compare the two?
I haven't tried the Ultimate yet, but it seems similar to the Artura Pro with a screen and Leds , which I have tested and reviewed.

Do you feel like it's a big diff 5 to 4.3 or negligible after some driving
@@simracingden
Johnston Neck
which gradient colour is that?
I used a few in the video Ascent and Miami I believe.
I'd buy in a heartbeat if the screen were 5 inch!
Looks very similar to the 2024 RB20 wheel!! I love it
That was my first thought! Now I want one lmao

Is there an alternative cheaper steering wheel like that? Around 1000$+

You dont fel it to wide for a formula wheel? If it only would’ve been a 5inch screen. It would have been the one for me. Great review!
Thanks it seemed fine for me with formula cars. Yes 5” screen would have been nice.
Love your reviews! Mine should be here any week now! Will be competing w my FPE V2!
Good choice! Your going to love it!
Which is better, the Soelpec or the GSI hyper P1?
Haven’t tried the Soelpec yet so wouldn’t be fair for me to answer.
Is it possible to get this working wirelessly with power from the Simucube 2Pro?
No not possible with this wheel.
@@simracingden Aww thx for the reply. That really sucks for the premium price.

Nice review haha. I cant wait to order the new SL version, 10th november ... What almost is the same as the p1 version 😄
Good idea! Yea basically the same without a screen, from what I can see.
@@simracingden yeah, and i have already a 6.8 inch ddu. So the SL is for me enough haha
