Should have done this a long time ago. Solid frame construction, responsive controls & realistic feel. I love every minute in it! Karl in customer service was very good & kept me posted on delivery times. In the market place this equipment is well priced.
The wheel has a lot to like, it's well built and finished (with one caveat) and the grips are really nice - the silicon they used is grippy but seems like it will last a long time, feels good in bare hands (which is lucky, because of the issue) and doesn't attract too much fluff, it's solid as it's made of Carbon and Aluminum and the buttons and dials all feel pretty great. The LED's are crisp and bright.
Now the cons - Most of these would be totally fine on a wheel around 1000, but this was over 2000 aud delivered, so keep that in mind if some of these sound petty.
- I get some rattling from some buttons sometimes, my Asetek wheel despite being a lot cheaper has never rattled.
- The Simhub profiles are not correct, with some of the telemetry effects not working like they should - you can fix it by editing the profiles, but you shouldn't have to.
- The LED's around the rotary knobs bleed into each other, so if you have distinct colours for each knob the sections closest to the other knob has to fight the colour of the nearby knobs making it look less nice than it should.
- The shifters are really close to your hands. You can't really adjust it much because of the design, so if you have big hands, you might find this really annoying, I've largely gotten used to it.
- The worst part is that there are some parts where the machining wasn't done well which are right where your thumbs sit because of the rough machining, I've ripped up a pair gloves and scratched my thumb just driving normally. Now I could file this down (and effectively damage the wheel and remove the anodisation around the affected area or hope that over time my thumb smooths it down, but, not something you should need to worry about with a wheel at this price point. I've logged a ticket with GSI and found today they had closed it without any response to the issue and somehow this was done without notification to me, I only realized because I went and checked - so not real happy about that. They may still do something about this, now that I've reopened it - but I just got the email from GGD to review, so here we are (sorry guys!).
This was my first big high end wheel purchase and I guess it wasn't everything I hoped it to be, some of these issues may not be an issue for others, but they really bugged me, when I was expecting near perfection and got defects that didn't happen even with Moza products.
A revolutionary robot that brings the mythical Optimus Prime to life. A leap forward in robot design and build, Flagship Optimus Prime is a dream that many of us with the original G1 Optimus Prime in 1984 didn’t dare to dream. Robosen did the dreaming , building and delivery. The price is certainly a factor but some magic’s have a price…
Need more auto bots and Megatron would be really nice hope to see it in the near future until then.
Wow, the detail in this robot is a masterpiece. You really have to see it to understand the true beauty in this robot.
A super cool smaller version of the flagship. Highly recommend. Reviews are cool but you can’t really talk on these. You have to see them and watch what they can do. They are a great work of moving parts. Super cool collectors items. IF YOU CAN GET THEM. They won’t be here long. Then a different version will come. Get these first editions while you can.
Love it! Awsome purchase for those who are a collector like me.
Quality product. Very quick interstate delivery from Game Gear Direct.
Brought my childhood dream to reality. Can't wait for Megatron.
Bought this as an upgrade form logitech g923 and all I can say is WOW, never knew how much I was missing in force feedback until now. Blake over at GDD was super responsive to any questions I had during delivery and would definitely buy from here again!
If you're on the fence like I was about spending the money to upgrade, just do it, you wont regret your purchase. Driving is smooth as butter and the MOZA pithouse software is great for presets and fine tuning per game.
I cannot fault the shifter it's well constructed and as per the excellent reviews (5 stars for the SG Pro shifter). Unfortunately I needed warranty for a very minor issue and this is where the positives stop. Because of the ordinary communication, delayed delivery (not communicated) poor and disjoined warranty process I will be buying direct in future from the OEM rather than a local reseller. It's a shame as I would rather pay more to support local business even if it means paying a premium over OEM price.
Has made a huge difference. Was using Fanatec csl pedals before. So much better and I’m quicker too. Highly recommend.
Fantastic Sim rig, well constructed and sturdy, gamer gear contacted me to confirm my DD mount and worked to supply what I required.
Highly reccomended for your first or an upgrade from a desk or less stable setup.
Easy checkout, excellent range of products and extremely fast shipping. Will definitely be shopping here again!
Easy to assemble delivered way before scheduled. Lovely arrow staff, fits single mattress well, no gaps. As it comes with no mattress. Good underbed storage. Fits well in room.

This handbrake is excellent. It looks stunning and stealthy and features lots of adjustability to get it to how I like it.
I prefer the short-throw with blue spring for rally handbrake turns. Drifters might prefer the longer throw for more control.
I just wish it had side-mounting options, such as for the Fanatec shifter.
The finest cockpit available on the market, offering unparalleled value.
