love my fix of the sim circuit. you are the man. i love your reviews and banter. top tier as always my friend.
Yes he is the man! I like him and @GT_Greg!
@@MrMikap74 I have made couple of the same wheels he has also.
Thank you very much @blacknovella & @MrMikap74 you guys humble me really. Il be honest I really enjoy making the videos but damm I suck at editing it takes me much longer than it should but makes it worth it when getting comments like these 🙌🏻
@@TheSimCircuit You're welcome mate! I can only imagine how much work goes into editing but you are doing a great job!
I agree, Bud Light is trash, but a Guinness discount would be nice! Thanks for the review, well done.
Ohh the amount I spend on them damm nitro surge cans 🤦🏼♂️ but nothing beats a good Guinness 💪🏼
Great video!
Thank you matey 🙌🏻 appreciate the positive feedback! Thank you for watching 😉
I also love thumb encoders 👍
Yea I don’t use my x29 much because it’s missing thumb encoders. I like not having to remove my hand completely from wheel to make adjustments 🤔
@@TheSimCircuit i have the KS from Moza, i absolutely love those thumb encoders.
@@kingthepro1420 I want to try and review some Moza stuff next year, they are on fire with all the new products they bringing to market
Love my GSI wheels. Great rundown.
Well I can say I’m now a big GSI fan 🪭 only wish I could own all their wheels now 🤦🏼♂️
GSI are great wheels indeed ! i own one in the past ! and you are right 300 mm are perfect size to enjoy GT3 and open wheel cars ..
I have always had to make choice between cube controls & GSI & normally I go cube controls cause it’s more easily available in Europe but I am supper happy with my choice this time round 💪🏼 thanks for watching 🙌🏻
thanks for the fun review!
No prob matey & thank you for watching 🙌🏻
Great video. No Lies told about the wheel. I have been using the same Phantom wheel for a few weeks now and it’s great. I also agree on your points about the rotary alignments and the screen flex. Although for the screen I say you should tap it not press on it.
Thanks for watching matey, yea I should tap but generally I’m quite heavy handed 🤦🏼♂️😂
@@TheSimCircuitespecially after a beer or two 😂
When even sim racing channels mock Dylan lol😂
😂 thanks for watching matey 🙌🏻
@@TheSimCircuit interesting content. Don’t know that I can justify a wheel that costs as much as a set of coil overs but that’s a cool wheel 😅
@@Cyge240sx yea you can for that price I’m lucky I got a sick pair of ohlins fitted already 😂 but I get your point and your right that money can go a long way elsewhere 🤦🏼♂️
@@TheSimCircuit Great content again! looking forward to more videos from you hopefully I get to race ya some time
They are shipping mine tomorrow. Live in Texas. Very excited 🏁🏁
Oh man excited for you 😁 what colour did you go for? It’s a great wheel you will love it, only regret I have is the hole 🕳️ in my bank balance but that’s quickly put to rest after using it 💪🏼
@@TheSimCircuit I went with the Phantom color. No kidding on that hole in my bank account. I need to stop buying such awesome Sim Racing Equipment😂
@thesimcircuit just ordered mine today, wish they had a discount code..LOL Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work!
Amazing 🤩 yea even a small discount code would make a big difference on that price 😂 but yea not much discount available from GSI. Worth every penny imo thou.
I just got an X29. Wow wa we wow
😂😂 yeeees very nice, fantastic wheel that! How are you liking it so far?
It’s incredible, the shifters are awesome. I picked it up second hand at the same time I swapped from Simagic to Simucube. Definitely gains in quality and feedback. I shall be enjoying it for a while before I try and get my hands on the Hyper SL.
Great review. Got the SC x GSI edition and love it!
I love the orange fade they have on that version of the wheel it looks great 🔥. Wonder if I can download it 🤔 gona look later.
In December 2022 I built an ASUS ROG themed computer, with ROG AIO liquid cooling, the top end ROG ITX MB, an ROG case, 12th gen I5 CPU, 2TB NVME, and 32GB of RAM. As far as PC stuff goes, ROG is definitely overpriced compared to other brands. And it was still less than this wheel costs lol. I guess you can't really compare a computer to a gaming steering wheel. And honestly
That's crazy and I'm having trouble trying to even wrap my head around it. This is a BEAUTIFUL wheel, but holy crap that price is something else. The only thing I wish was different on this would be it having the magnetic USB cable that Simagic uses. I know nobody else uses it, but it's awesome on the Neo GT and seems like the best solution for USB.
Yea price is mad. This wheel probably over kill for for most people but I’m planning on using it exclusively over next couple of years and making most of every penny spent 😂 yea the GT neo maglink has the nicest connection even better than cube controls that done it first 💪🏼
Great video as always!
Thank you matey 🙌🏻
Def one fantastic wheel
Great great wheel can highly recommend. Thanks for watching matey 🙌🏻
If youre in the US you can try this wheel on a rig at microcenter. Compared to my simagic gt4 i was pretty disappointed. The buttons and rotaries had very little feeling or detents and the grips felt cheap. Heavy too. Maybe it was just abused, it sure looks pretty though 😊
Hey matey I’m not from the US so not 100% sure but I am almost certain this is not available at Microcenter yet the things you are describing regarding the buttons & rotaries I believe are form the original FPEv1 as I have experienced this myself on one of them on the V2 thou I don’t have any of these issues. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
I order one ❤❤❤❤
Nice, you are going to love it 🙌🏻🙌🏻
How are the grips compared to the X29 mate? Lot of people don’t like the grips on this one and the Hyper P1/SL. Love my X29 wheel
I am opposite in my opinion I find grips on x-29 not that nice but love the grips on the fpev2 🤷🏼♂️ I have big hands (size xl gloves) and I find the thumb holes on the x29 just a little to small for me. But either way both is nice just my preference
Is this steering wheel for left or right hand drive cars?
Always enjoy catching your videos, enjoyed the humour as usual, oh and that wheel does indeed look awesome....
😂😂 not sure I need to go read the manual & get back to you! Thanks for the kind words & for watching it’s much appreciated 🙌🏻
Thanks for the review mate. Just a quick question, in your opinion, do you think the Alpha Mini can handle this wheel?
Hey matey yes I think 10nm will be ok for this wheel but you will probably be running the base near the 10nm mark or max it at 10. I mean 1.5kg is not loads but after adding a qr it starts becoming a heavy wheel. The heavier and wider the wheel the more force you going to need from your base. How heavy is your current wheel and are you happy with the amount of power you have available when using that wheel?
@@TheSimCircuit i have the FX pro. It’s a 1.7kg wheel but that’s including the QR. Running it at max, feedback is good actually. On FPE v2 it will be 2.1kg including QR I think plus the extra 10mm diameter, just not sure if it will tame down the mini.
@@pawieplays it will be noticeable at first compared to what you have the FX pro but I don’t think it will be a massive difference, base certainly won’t be dead maybe just feel slight bit dampened. Sure be good reason to upgrade your base in couple of months 😵😁
Mental Impediment 😅 you got me sir! I’m lining up a Simucube 2 Pro, Simucube Active Pedal with passive throttle and baseplate with a Rexing Mayaris V2 and a RTX 4090 swap in exchange for my 4080 from a guy for £3.5k. It’s a lot of dosh but seems a good deal to me, at least that’s what I tell myself
Your mental impediment is bigger than mine 😂 but sick setup matey. I’m running a 3070ti so been pondering a 4090 for a wile now 🤔
@@TheSimCircuitThe 50 series cards are around the corner. I'd wait if I were you.
@@ty194 best wait you are right, normally around September they come out yes? Be nice to upgrade to 4k screens if my ship ⛴️ roles in 🤔
@@TheSimCircuit Yes around September/October and by all accounts, the 50 series cards are supposed to be the biggest jump in performance yet. It's always good to skip a generation at least as well in my opinion.
@@TheSimCircuitha I ended up with the X29, SC2 Pro and Simgrade VX Pro and the upgrade cost me £467. I’m very happy
How wide is this wheel compared to the V1 an how do the grips feel comparatively. I've been ready to purchase this wheel for a week now but I have the V1 love the grips and width. I really do like the color, layout, rgb's, funky switches, and rotaries. I just don't want to purchase the wheel and then it seems to small. How is the width compared to the X29. I own the 29 as well. I saw one guy who reviewed this wheel and he sent it back because it felt significantly smaller than the V1 and he told me to purchase the Hyper P1 instead but I race GT3. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks,
300mm wide it is a slight bit wider than the x29. I absolutely love the grips on the fpev2 I have big hands. I find the x29 not that comfortable for me. I do understand getting a feel for something is very important, I my self was so so close to buying the hyper p1 until I got to use it at a sim expo and realised it was not quite for me. The majority of people I heard who had an fpe v1 loved the grips and feel of FPEv2 🤷🏼♂️ I think sometimes x29 too small for gt cars but the fpe is perfect for gt cars imo
Hi good video, very funny, I am also other "mental impediment" guys to consider this wheel.. . Just a couple of question, I saw you use the wheel in an Asetek base with the Invicta QR. Other reviewer had issues with this wheel and the Asetek Invicta QR, because the wheel cable is very long, which is good in principle but...connected to the QR make this connexion even longer, so the wheel had issues with disconnections because the loss of voltage of such a very long electrical connexion. Didnt you have this issues?
Other question, time ago I asked GSI by email because I heard his screen wheels required more power than the Invicta QR was able to provide (I think 9volts), they confirmed me that in fact that was the case and their wheels could be only used in "low power mode", so I guess low brightness, but they were looking for solutions. Didn´t you have this issue?
Hi matey thanks for watching, the cable is very long but I coil I round the qr and it’s ok. I will be getting QR from GSI with the short internal cable just to make it look more tidy.
I did not once have a single disconnect. I do run on low power mode yes but even then for me screen and rgb bright enough. I would say GSI brightness setting is much brighter than other companies wheels brightness setting ( too bright ).
I use it every week on my Invicta base with no issues so go ahead and get the FPEv2 if you want it’s an amazing wheel 🙌🏻
@@TheSimCircuit Thanks for the answer man, but I think I will wait to see if GSI releases a proper QR with proper and full compatibility with Asetek QR not like now, in fact in their own web page GSI states this wheel is not compatible now with Asetek, I am pretty sure because of this issue till they solve it, I think honestly this is a pretty important information to be clarified in the video, mainly to avoid confusion.
The issue with the long cable is not it takes too much space or similar, is that when connected to the QR it increases even more the already long electrical connexion, making it so long that it causes a significative fall of voltage in the cable, adding this to the lack of enough power of the Asetek QR itself, all this apparently in some cases reduces too much the voltaje and this could cause losses of connection like reported for some users, I guess you are lucky till now then. Thanks
@@papolo2001yea I must be lucky 🍀 😅 i don’t race for hours and hours at a time but my sessions are normally 2 hours long with practice and races and I don’t have any issues whatsoever. I put my FPEv2 on my Asetek base and after 3 seconds the screen and rgbs come on, as easy as that 🤷🏼♂️ yes I run on low power mode so rgb and screen not super bright but it’s plenty bright for me. Probably a good 100 hours plus on that wheel now and still my favourite 🤩
Great review. I have a dumb question though. How did you set it up in simhub to toggle between multiple dashboards like that?
.. there is a setting under its device properties in simhub and you and can set countrols to forward and backward on dash depending on the side tapped
Yes this 👆🏼 when going into devices go to the FPEv2 then under the LCD tab go to properties or settings I can’t remember and you will be able to map a input 🙌🏻
Hi, You forgot to link the Simhub Dash. Is it from Romain Robs collection?
Apologies, I did forget here is link 🔗

@@TheSimCircuitah I use his lights for iracing I didn’t realize he had dashboards too. Thanks 🙏🏼
@@RATTMAN yes his dashboards are great I use them on my ddu also
@@TheSimCircuit loaded them yesterday and they work great. Only downside is he doesn’t believe in having tire data displayed.
Bro you’re hilarious lol
😛 thanks for watching matey 🙌🏻
what is the name of the dashboard? the discord link doesn't work
Yoep de ledlights, I will check the link later 👍🏻

@@TheSimCircuit thank you!
Do you like x29 wheel? I am looking for something premium, without the screen (personally don’t like it on the wheel). Are the LEDs not disturbing while driving?
Yes mate I do like it and it’s definitely very premium. I will do a review of it next month most likely. What I can say to give you some reference (I like thumb encoders) unfortunately the x-29 has none also the wheel is more suited to formula cars, I find it better using a wider diameter wheel for gt cars & lastly I think people with smaller/normal size hand would find it more comfortable to use I have big hand (xl glove size) and my thumbs start to hurt a little when using it for long periods.
One thing I can tell you is does not matter what GSI wheel you buy I’m certain you will be very impressed and happy with it 🙌🏻
@@TheSimCircuitthank you for this opinion. I will order it. I also regret that thumb encoders are missing, I say to myself that funky switches are so close and maybe they will cover this functionality😂
@@magil159the funky switches feels amazing you will have no issues using them as extra encoders if you need 👍🏻
@@TheSimCircuitgreat to read that! Mine is waiting for me at home. I will test it on Sunday 😀🤩🥳
On the Asetek wheelbase are you using an internal usb to Asetek QR?!... Any issues on power the wheel?
Regarding the power I had turn my led & screen down otherwise it’s says only partially connected in simhub, but they are bright enough don’t need brighter in my opinion.
Not using internal usb I just coil the cable over the shaft. At the moment no internal cable available from GSI but there will be soon. At back of the FPEv2 there is a hole specifically to connect an internal cable via a QR.
😂🔥🔥🔥💪
My Guinness is more expensive...
Yea Guinness needs to run some discounts 😂 I buy them nitro surge cans. £13 to £15 for 6 🤦🏼♂️ but definitely nicer than the normal rattle can 🤔
