The reason why the buttons can sometimes get stuck when pressing down is because the tolerances during assembly is too big. There is a huge variation in the switches' locations on the PCB. When the button switch is soldered off centered onto the PCB in relation to the hole in the aluminum, it causes the side of the button to scrape the aluminum. In some cases, you can even feel that the face of the button is uneven while at rest. This is because one side of the button is being pushed against by the aluminum housing. I've handled multiple Ascher Artura wheels and it seems that it's quite common. There's almost always one or two buttons that are like this.
I use shifters and everything but I intentionally went with fanatec podium hub. i like the look and the wheels is closer to me so it's all fits my needs. But yea the adaptors are a possibility
Yes, it’s a little heavy compared to other wheels without a display, but it’s a very well balanced wheel. In fact I had to turn down my FFB when I switched from CSX3 .
Great video. This wheel seems almost perfect, but I'm hesitant about ordering it. The grips seem quite thin. I have large hands and some grips - like the ones in Fanatec Formula wheels - just kill my hands. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated. Thanks.
I know what you mean. It is slightly thicker than fanatec but not as thick as GSI. In between . I have already done quite some hours with it and to me this is the perfect size. Ofc that's subjective
Nope. As Fanatec is proprietary (still) you connect the coiled USB cable directly to your PC. And use Simhub. I've been running wirelessly for years. And my conclusion after the first week with cable is that I don't even notice it.
Yea I considered that (and other emulators) but didn't want to mix more brands. Also what looks better is subjective tbh ;) I like the podium hub design and color.
