Product Information

Direct drive technology is the term given to racing wheels where the motor is directly connected to the steering column. Direct drive technology is generally found in higher-end racing wheels and is seen as the pinnacle of sim racing wheel technology. Most racing wheel bases have connection ports on the rear of the wheel base where these additional peripherals can be connected to. For most brands, adding an additional peripheral is as simple as connecting it to the wheel base and mounting the peripheral to your sim rig. The Thrustmaster T248 is also completely compatible with PS4 and PS5 consoles. It is plug and play, so simply requires a few wires to be connected between the pedals and wheel base. Then it connects directly to your PS5 with a single USB cable. And to this day, this wheel base is the only true plug and play direct drive wheel base that is compatible with PS5.

With many racing wheels, you can connect additional peripherals such as gear shifters and handbrakes. These add to the levels of immersion that you experience. Shifting manually with a H-pattern shifter and clutch can increase your levels of control as well as immersion. And handbrakes are crucial if you are drifting or rallying. With all of these features, the Formula V2.5X is one of the best PS5 F1 steering wheels available in 2023. The Formula V2.5X wheel is Fanatec’s ultimate formula-style racing wheel. It takes the outstanding base that the Formula V2 set, and improves on it. If you’re looking for a more authentic experience with your favorite racing games, then the best PS5 racing wheels are a worthwhile investment. There’ll be some getting used to and plenty of sensitivity tweaking if it’s your first time using one, but the experience is much more immersive than using a standard controller. Which PS5 racing wheel is the best?Update – Recently Fanatec discontinued the Podium F1 racing wheel. This means that the most premium PS5-compatible racing wheel that Fanatec currently sell is the GT DD Pro 8Nm. Thrustmaster is Logitech’s direct competitor when it comes to the best PS5 racing wheels, and the T150 is its best budget model. Despite its cheaper overall feel thanks to an abundance of lighter plastic materials being used for the build, it’s one to consider if you’re on a stricter budget.

So if you’re after an all-in-one racing wheel and pedal bundle for your PS5 or a wheel base for your Fanatec setup, you won’t find much better than the GT DD Pro. Let’s get the compatibility out of the way first. This McLaren GT3 V2 wheel is fully compatible with both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. And, it’s also compatible with every current Fanatec wheel base. Just underneath the paddle shifters are two additional individual paddles that can be used as a dual clutch. Firstly, it is the newest wheel on our list, so you can guarantee compatibility with the new generation of consoles.We have two fantastic PS5 F1 steering wheel recommendations for the best formula-style steering wheel. The McLaren GT3 V2 and the ClubSport Formula V2.5X. It features a wide range of buttons, dials and switches, just like real racing wheels do. This allows you to adjust a multitude of different car setup options while driving, without taking your hands off the wheel. Whichever racing wheel you opt for, try to ensure it has a minimum of 900 degrees of rotation. Most PS5 racing wheels meet these criteria, while many have 1080 degrees of rotation and some have unlimited rotation. Additional peripherals Although out of the two, we would look at the brand spanking new Logitech G923. This wheel is an evolution of the already great Logitech G29 and brings a few new features to the table.
