SIMAGIC Alpha Mini Wheelbase 10nm - Review after 1 Year 

I'm glad I listened. The 10NM is a beast, I was about to go for the middle one, but I'm glad I didn't.

I'm a Simagic fanboy. I jumped from a Logitech G923 to a Simagic Alpha 15nm along with the P2000 pedals with the haptic motors. Best upgrade ever

Simagic is awesome. The FFB is so clear and the best in the industry I have tried all the bases over the years from simucube to Leo bodner to Fanatec

I notice you have the Version 1 (v1) mini wheelbase with the 252w motor but I understand current version 3 uses a 237w motor to overcome earlier identified overheating issues. Those early v1 bases were putting out up to 13nm of power so I guess they are down to 10nm now. I kind of wish newer reviews like this reflected current model but I get it .. this is a long term review. Good job.

I can not thank you enough! I've had my Alpha 3-4 months now and could never for the life of me get it dialed in for iRacing, your settings work great for me and I've spent the last 4 hours going thru some my cars and getting the ffb set and smiling ear to ear, some of these cars I have never felt comfortable in, that's changing. These settings along with a reddit post explaining Torque/Strength have been siMagic 😉

I am not sure what I am in love with more......the new camera and all that fancy camera work or the SIMAGIC beauty

Thanks a lot. I ordered the Alpha, the fx-formula-wheel und the p1000 pedals yesterday. Bye-bye thrustmaster t300 and T-LCM-Pedals. I will comment in a few weeks again and let you know what happened :-)

Love it! Also tbh the software has gotten so good and its do simplistic i cant imagine wanting more. I hated fansteks software and aseteks is to bloated. It was a big selling point for me with simagic. I like simple and effective stuff. Like the game reccomendations for settings, the profiles and more. All of these wheelbases are amazing. I do eant peoppe to know each motor they go up to the weight comes in more. Like my umtimate the shaft is smooth and very fluid but it def has more weight even when off while turning. But out of every 20nm wheelbase ive used this one is the most fluid in motion meaning its still got that floaty simagic feel that no other wheelbase has that ive tried. As you said it makes it feel like its only forces its not like a spring or filter even the snap is from the forces not a true spring effect like fanatec. I love the feel nothing for my preference matches the feeling of ubloading and loading of corners and the edge of grip these bases relay. Which imo is the most important effect of a wheelbase. I love how you can find it instead of just going by overly heavy center forces.

This thing is awesome. The people who say equipment doesn't matter are just lying to be kind...I have shaved off a lot of time with this wheel...coming from the G923 it's just no comparison.

Big thanks for recommendations how to avoid overheating! I think no one of long time users on RU-vid has ever mentioned that smoothness can down temp of the base

Thanks a lot for this review. helps a lot. Could you share the iracing and simagic setup？Want to try your configurations. thanks

Good review man 👍

Good review, I've had the Mini & Gt Neo for about 3 months. Its amazing. I cant imagine what the 15 & Ultimate feels like but the Mini is more than enough. Plan on getting the P1000 & GTS wheel for Rallying. Only thing is its a very expensive echo system especially coming from Thrustmester products. I'll have to save lol

Thanks for the review. Just purchased this base with the GT Neo wheel. Selling my CSL DD and Formula V2.5 wheel. I would've liked to see your FF settings in iRacing for reference. Max Force, Wheel Force, Intensity, Smooth, Damping, & Min Force.

Great review of a super product. I've started the transition from Fanatec, went for the Alpha & GT Neo from CS DD 8Nm + McLaren GT3 v2. Both cost more of course but the quality shines through; Simagic are doing great things right now. To comfirm what you touched upon all their wheelbases have more maximum torque than advertised which means for most the Mini would be plenty enough.

Love my Mini. Currently have it with the GT Neo, P1000 with haptics. Sim Magic has helped bring competition to the market space with quality at a solid value.

Where’s the likes at?!?!

What kind of Seat/Rig do you use? Looks like a Playseat Trophy to me. I do use this one. If I’m right, are you happy in combination with the alpha mini?

I really do love my mini....but im on the strong side...so im not saying its not enough powerfull but if it wasnt from availability and have to start again...i'll would get the alpha just to have some headroom. Alpha ultimate is overkill for vast majority of simracer.

If you did this again, would you get the 10nm or the 15?
