@rayjubb8726 Did you used it a lot or just a couple times ? How does it all hold ? Any problems of any kind like shifter, screen, coiled cable connection losses etc…?
@@bmwM3M5M6 I really like the wheel a lot! By far the best I’ve used. The grips are ergonomically the best. The larger screen makes it easy to see the information and make changes. The LED lit buttons are great too along with the rotary encoders making adjustments super easy. The only thing that I’ve had a problem with is the Race Director program. It worked fine to begin with but updating it has been difficult. Sim Hub would be a work around but I’d prefer to use their system.
@@rpcorp How are the shifters ? Seems less push power is needed… how is the tactile/click feel of it with gloves ? From vids I watched the shifters are to easy to push with less force which I personally don’t like but I just saw vids never even touched or saw in reality
It’s a great looking wheel and considering that licensing is probably around 500 per wheel it’s not outrageously priced. Sadly it’s a bit much for me tho
So, the shifters felt great out of the box for me and are a bit weaker than some other wheels, but in the box are extra magnets so you can tweak the force as needed.
I own the RSR wheel (new v2 2022) and to compare I also own an Ascher Racing BM16-USB plate (with OMP Superquadro) which has quite the heavy paddles. I have them both here laying on my desk to compare. - Tactile feeling: the RSR paddles are much softer. Ascher makes way more noise. - Throw distance: default the RSR paddles have a substantial shorter throw than default Ascher, although both systems can be adjusted. - Size: RSR flippers are 4,7cm long and Ascher 12,4cm. - With a shorter throw distance it may seem like you need less force, but if you look closely..... - ....I think it's actually not true, now that I compared these two high end systems. The RSR flippers are def not weak. I would even say the RSR needs more force than Ascher, but with a very narrow margin. Unfortunately I can not test actual magnet force. Never really thought about this before. But in conclusion I would say that throw distance seems to be the key. The more distance a paddle travels for one shift, the more you get the feeling this is 'heavy'. But actual force applied is around the same. A more scientific/mathematical approach would probably be to compare: - Magnet force - Paddle size - Throw distance - Perhaps even hand size/strength
Wow thanks so much for that detailed reply! I’m very interested in this wheel and I currently have the Gomez GX29 and the feeling of the shifters alone made it worth it for me so when you’re spending 2.5K on a wheel you really want it to be perfect haha but it sounds like they’re a little different in feeling but weak May not be right word!
Gorgeous wheel! My ONLY issue with is is the shifters are very weak resulting in shifts when you don't mean to. If you don't need a screen the MPX is a better wheel for the $. Both are amazing though!
I think the original release had weak shifters that have been upgraded since, check Dan Suzuki’s review for this. @simracingden did you find the shifters weaker by comparison to other wheels?
During your time reviewing this wheel did you notice any creaking from it? I have this wheel connected to a Fanatec DD2 and it creaks under high ffb loads.
The LMPH does feel slightly lighter but not by much, quality wise and buttons, etc.. the GRID IMO was a step above the LMPH, but for what the LMPH offers and its price, it's an excellent value in my opinion Shifters on the LMPH are snappier and stronger, but shifters can be so subjective; I enjoy both for different reasons. The GRID, as a whole for me, is the clear winner, but at such a steep price difference, it makes the comparison challenging.
Looks great but it really needs at least one or even better two funky switches then it would be worth a look at - will be sticking with the MPX & CSX-3 as my go to wheels
Yes, I agree that adding at least one funky switch would have been appreciated, but perhaps it comes at the sacrifice of authenticity with the real wheel.
The RSR wheel is a really heavy sim wheel. And will work best on high torque DD's. I had my RSR wheel mounted on a 17nm SC2sport. Soon later I got myself a 25nm SC2 pro and it works smoother. As for the 15nm Simagic Alpha, I would say yes AND no. Yes, it's possible and it will work. No, the lack of torque will result in a clunky DD where the rotation speed sometimes cannot keep up 100% the way it should. The 15nm is on the edge, therefor would not recommend because the RSR is too expensive to justify a possible clunky feel. You bought a DD because it's butter smooth and you probably want to keep it that way. Note: the SA 15nm is peak torque. Holding torque is lower so better calculate with around 10nm. It's the holding torque where the clunky feel comes in.
Hi, I recently purchased the Grid 911 RSR wheel but using the race director software, it’s not transferring any of the available dashboards from the drop-down menu to the steering wheel? Any ideas why? And how I can make it work?
Great video. I've had my Grid RSR whell almost 2 years now and I still love watching reviews on it. Simply the best!
Glad you enjoy it!
@rayjubb8726 Did you used it a lot or just a couple times ? How does it all hold ? Any problems of any kind like shifter, screen, coiled cable connection losses etc…?
I like the lighting of your buttons. With the rotary lights spinning when you switch it etc. Is it possible you can share your led profile?

Thanks for the perfectly timed review!! Just received mine yesterday and look forward to setting it up ‼️🏁
Have fun!

licenced = automatically top product because Porsche approved it.
Any more specific thoughts on the shifters compared to other wheels? I’ve heard people complains about grid weak shifters ?
So, the shifters felt great out of the box for me and are a bit weaker than some other wheels, but in the box are extra magnets so you can tweak the force as needed.
@@simracingden great to know, thanks!

Amazing intro!

Interesting, I didn't have that issue with the shifters personally, but I agree the MPX is such a great wheel for the $
the shifters are the same at both wheels.@@simracingden
I think the original release had weak shifters that have been upgraded since, check Dan Suzuki’s review for this. @simracingden did you find the shifters weaker by comparison to other wheels?
@@dejong64 I mean, the resistance comes from the magnets. Do you know if the same magnets are used? You can normally change them yourself anyhow.
New version 2 comes with extra magnets I believe.
During your time reviewing this wheel did you notice any creaking from it? I have this wheel connected to a Fanatec DD2 and it creaks under high ffb loads.
I didn’t notice any creaking check if it’s actually the DD1 QR or hub that’s not creaking.
great review! How does this compare to the LMPH wheel? quality? shifters? Can you notice the difference in weight? Thanks!
The LMPH does feel slightly lighter but not by much, quality wise and buttons, etc.. the GRID IMO was a step above the LMPH, but for what the LMPH offers and its price, it's an excellent value in my opinion Shifters on the LMPH are snappier and stronger, but shifters can be so subjective; I enjoy both for different reasons.

@@simracingden thanks for the feedback!
Great review. Thank you. Is it just me or do the grips look a bit small?
Thanks, I didn't find them small at all but I have I guess average size hands.
Excuse me if im not so well informed but, can this steering wheel be used on playstation 5, or pc only?
PC only.
Looks great but it really needs at least one or even better two funky switches then it would be worth a look at - will be sticking with the MPX & CSX-3 as my go to wheels
Yes, I agree that adding at least one funky switch would have been appreciated, but perhaps it comes at the sacrifice of authenticity with the real wheel.

What wheel bases does this work with? Do this work with Simagic Alpha?
All PC wheelbases via USB.

it is fuckin beautiful my bro, but the price.. this makes me wanna get a real job just to be able to afford a sim rig like this...
Psst, the text graphic shows 330mm wide. 😉

I would suggest you reach out on Discord in the Grid server someone from Grid should be able to help you pretty quickly there.
@@simracingden thanks mate, appreciate the advice.
Hi did you manage to fix the printer with dash?
so pretty much a real f1 race car wheel for 3k sick
Well real Porsche wheel but yes as close as it gets pretty much to a 911 RSR wheel.
$2,200?!!
Nice video but no thanks.
I have children✨
Fair enough!
can someone give me 2.2k so i can buy it please
What a pain in the .ss for an extremely overpriced wheel. Definitely moza fsr came to slap all these pitiful brands
Not sure where to even begin with this comment.
@@exci6198It’s out of their price range, but instead of being objective, they became emotional and lashed out against a piece of equipment.
