Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race Wheel & Pedal System Licensed for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PCs – 7.2Nm Direct Drive Force Feedback, 3 Pedals & Magnetic Paddle Shifters, Hall Effect Sensors

This wheel was not ready for release and overpriced. The steering wheel is small and very hard. The telemetry does not work on Xbox at all. Many games do not work including ACC and F1 23. Brake has limited adjustment. FBB is good.UPDATE: The price has gone from $650 to $550, closer to the $500 where it should be. If the software was corrected to ensure all games worked and the telemetry worked on Xbox, it would receive 5 stars from me. My wheel has been rock solid in reference to performance and Im happy with the pedals. I feel the brake is very good for my style of driving and no need for mechanical adjustment. The force feedback will be adequate for the majority of racers and I rate it 5 stars for the $550 price. Turtle needs to release a F1 & rally wheels ASAP. I have gone from 2 stars to 4 stars.UPDATE2: The 10% discount brings the price to only $450.00 which is $200 less than I paid. It is now a steal at this price. Mine has had zero issues other than the software needs fixed/tweaked. Now 5 Stars.

This wheel was marketed as a healthy median, packaging everything an entry level sim racer wants into an easily configurable bundle. Heavy price tag, but you get more for just $100 more than a Fanatec DD CSL bundle. So you think..I read the reviews, researched it, contemplated the bad ones. Watched others use it. I had to see it for myself and I was very excited to use it. I did not open it or use it with ideas. I also updated it to the newest firmware available to avoid quirks I found when I played my first race.First day, it's great and works fantastic. I used it in Asseto Corsa. Felt very adaptive and easily customizable. As that's one of its features. I noticed that the base can be very loud past 60% strength on Track mode.The issues: The brake pedal is EXTREMELY TOUCHY (as of v1.20). In the OOB firmware, the brake was horribly balanced and you had to push your pedal base down into the floor to get maybe 50% response. The fix was to make it so touchy, my toe resting on the brake pedal locks up my brakes. Sensitivity settings and deadzones are no help.The RMD and system it relies on is glitchy after usage/a race or two. Once you use the wheel or even at random - Menus are laggy and inputs don't register, forcing you to restart the wheel. It's a very good system to have on a wheel base that costs.. this much.. but barley working makes it laughable.A lot of people complained about the wheel base having play, but I think some just didn't have the wheel properly seated. I did not see any issue with this, but at high speed going in a straight line?... you better not have the strength past 65 or it will shake, clack, and make all kinds of annoying noise. It almost seems like the wheel base is loosing grip as the direct drive gear tries to spin. Like metal on metal... This is day two! What gives? You think maybe tweaking some settings, dampening, and making a deadzone would fix that? Nope! Enjoy it, cause anyone who lives with you won't. Already read someone having issues they had to fix physically themselves ibsice the unit on reddit after a week. Not to mention the late FFB taking hard turns.The button box is a cool concept and with more serious racing, keybinds are a necessity. How come the four 3-way switches only have a single registerable position? Cheap. How come the button box uses up two buttons (apparently map-able now) to turn the unit off and on - When there are two buttons ON THE UNIT TO DO THE SAME THING? Likely a last second design choice. I had no issues with flex on the build quality and mounting. So there were.. some improvements.The software.. oh what happened there? Throttle and breaking inputs get stuck after a few laps. You gotta power off the wheel or just unplug it from the base which isn't easy to do on the fly. So forget playing multiplayer, that's a fantasy.. Makes it very difficult to drive fast and tactically if I spin out with extra throttle input or lock up breaks. Creating deadzones and making sensitivity adjustments just dampens the initial curve. You'll hit a rough full-throttle ramp up a quarter way down anyways..Why is the pedal connection on the very BACK of the pedals? You know people are going to want or need to but them against a wall to stop it from sliding or something. If it exists, a L-shaped or angled connector would have been a smart idea. You buy this and I bet you'll break the cable.Overall, I can't recommend this wheel at all. I was severely disappointed. Save your money, your sanity, and your significant other or family the headache or the noise and swearing it will cause. It's such a shame because it's not bad past the issues. 7.2NM with a whole setup for $650 sounded great. Now I wouldn't even buy it on sale for $450...It was a good effort, but there is just too much wrong with it. This is TB's first racing product - but they also had a fail of a flight sim setup too. Hopefully improved by now, but jeez. They know how to get it here, they know what looks good and what is useful for sure. Execution? Programming? Testing? Almost absent. It's a shame... already looking into Moza and Fanatec.

The wheel is overall very solid. The quality of everything included is optimal. The wheel I received had issues with the magnetic paddle shifters, as they would get stuck, but they shipped me a new one that did not have this issue. The feeling of the wheel is a little odd. It is not necessarily bad, just different than what I'm used to. Note that if you are trying to use this with Xbox, the RMD will NOT work. I didn't see this anywhere before I purchased it, which was a little disappointing. The button box is a great addition. It is disappointing that games will not recognize them as a direct input. I got the wheel on sale. For the price reduction I got it at, I would say it is almost a steal, however at its list price of $650, this is arguably a ripoff.

Let me start off by saying that this is my first real force feedback (FF) steering wheel for use in gaming. In my initial research, I found this at the perfect timing, did the research, and placed my pre-order! It shipped fast and came same day as release date.As someone starting out that didn't want to invest into any one ecosystem (Fanatec, Logitech, Thrustmaster, Moza, and others), this unit fits my needs. While at $649, this unit isn't cheap, you can find yourself spending well over $1000 for setups from aforementioned brands if you want the same features and quality of build.WHEEL:So from a value standpoint, I think this fits right up there by giving you tremendous amount of value for the money. You get a proper steering wheel with direct drive that spins infinitely. There is no mechanical moving part to wear over time since the magnets are what you sets the end points of the turns. There is a huge range, from your basic 270-degrees to whatever amount you see fit and it's all done on-the-fly using the built-in screen. Otherwise it does spin infinitely. Awesome stuff, considering other brands have physical stops (like Logitech G Pro) and you'll half this price just for wheels from other brands.PEDALS:The pedals are also nice feeling and made of high quality metal components. The brake pedal is adjustable and uses the high-end stuff from other brands for pressure instead of travel. The harder you press, the harder the brakes bite. Like a real car. Very nice for the money, considering a similar setup is $349 from Logitech for just the pedals!OVERALL:I love this unit. The fit and finish are good enough for the price, the drive is strong and adjustable on the fly, as are everything else on the unit. You can toggle between Xbox and PC (don't forget to do that each time), and future games will likely become more compatible with this unit if more people buy.Those are my initial impressions. I will update once I have it put to more use.
