 Hello everybody, I'm Evil Rabbit. We have some new sim gear here from PXN. The guys over at PXN sent me an email and asked me if I wanted to take a look at their new dual motor gear driven force feedback wheel setup that they have just recently released. So they sent me one out to take a look. I'm gonna give you guys my honest opinion on my likes and dislikes about this wheel. So we're gonna go ahead and get this thing opened up and take a look at everything. This is a new entry level wheel. So we're gonna take a full look and dive into it as entry style wheel, not fully compared to say like direct drive wheels and stuff like that, because this is a gear driven dual motor for the entry level market. So let's take a look at this. Let's get this thing opened up. This is a massive box, but first of all intriguing on it, a fact that comes with pedals, base and a wheel and a shifter, a gated shifter, which is one thing not a lot of setups come with in the entry level market. So we're gonna flip this box over. We're gonna take a look inside. I believe we're gonna have to turn this box around actually. Such a big box. So we gotta, it's got everything in it. So we're gonna take a look at what's inside this box off the rip and then we'll get into full details on each individual item. So we first open the box. Of course we have instruction manuals. Hopefully, you know, it has a English side. Use your manual. Okay, so it is in English too. So that's definitely a very good thing. I know it's on the box a lot of, you know, not English writing. So we gotta, of course we have our user manual. We're gonna drop that down there. We do have the wheel in its bag. We are gonna fully take a look at this in depth. Once we get everything out of this box, then it looks like we have our power bricks, all of our plug connectors and plugs. And we do have desk clamps. So we will take a look, of course, all of this in its full entirety as the fact. Looks like we have some screws and Allen keys too. So we're gonna get everything out of the box and then go through and then go through everything by itself. So we're gonna take this part of the box off and we're gonna take a look at what else is in here. More packaging, stuck in that behind me. So we do have the shifter here and I'm intrigued because it does look like there's buttons and everything up top and the nitty gritty of the importance of this. You have the full wheel base. And if we take this out and send this to the metaverse behind me, we do have the pedal set, which is actually a really big pedal set. So pretty decently sized pedal set. So let's get the box off here and we will start with the pedal set. So let's switch the camera up and we can take a look at it. So we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna start with taking a look at the pedal set. Since it was the last thing to pull out of the box, should be the first thing we take a look at. And off the rip, it's got some pretty nice looking metal feel to it, metal pedal plates and everything like that. That's a very, oh, my bum's the camera. It's a very soft gas, it's a different clutch and a bit of a softer clutch pedal. But we do have on the back adjustments. So there is actually some plastic adjustments on these spring dampeners on all of them so we can adjust fully if we want the tension of these springs. So that has kind of a good thing to it. And it looks like we have some stop parts too. So you screw it up and you have a second one to stop it. So, you know, overall construction of it, it's, you know, plastic style with some aluminum pedals, kind of very reminiscent of like G920 setups and things like that. It does look like we do have partitions on the bottom to screw it into say a sim base and some nice rubber bumpers if you're not. So overall the pedals, very simple, very simple pedal set. There is some adjustment and adjustability with available to move it, the pedal back and forth and stuff like that. But, you know, metal feel in the pedals, kind of like a metal diamond plate-ish feel there. So a very basic pedal set, but it's, you know, definitely going to see how it feels once you get it on, you know, a chassis and start trying and stuff like that. So we're going to pull the pedals aside and we're going to bring out the shifter. So like I said, not a lot of things come with shifters from the get-go's. So we do have a very reminiscent of a Logitech shifter. You know, it looks like it's got metal gates, but it's all polymer, everything else and a desk clamp. So, I mean, it does have a pretty good textile feel to it. And you do have down into reverse. So what's intriguing to me on this is right up here, we have a high-low button and a parking brake button. So if these are bindable, say in Xbox and stuff like that, you can use this as a handbrake. So if you guys remember back when I made my custom handbrake, I had to wire it through the actual wheel. So in theory, you could technically take this apart and wire a button to this and have a handbrake or even put something that just pulls and pushes down on this to make a handbrake if you're looking for drifting and stuff like that. So, I mean, that is kind of a plus, but like I said, it does have a pretty textile feel with the metal gate, but everything else seems to be in a plastic polymer, but you know, entry-level wheels are very designed to be inexpensive and things like that. So we're gonna take a look at the next part of this. So we're gonna go right into the wheel itself before we take a look at the wheelbase. So we do have a pretty decent looking wheel with it looks like almost like a felt alcantara feel to it. We have a lot of buttons that are very reminiscent to say an Xbox pattern and an Xbox push. And then paddles and some clutches on the back. So it does have pins on it for a screw release so the wheel can come on and off. I'm not sure how sturdy that's gonna be over time, but overall, you know, you have a aluminum face and a lot of pretty big functionalities. Now it is a smaller diameter wheel. This wheel probably is smaller than the G920. I think this is 10 and a half or something like that compared to like 11s or something like that for like G920s and stuff. But the overall feel, it feels pretty good. I'm not really able to flex it too too much. Now these paddles are actually pretty close. So if you're running like this, how I normally run the paddles are gonna hit your fingers. So that's definitely one thing that I guess could be adjusted because I like to run, you know, with shifting with one finger like this or like that. And it's actually hitting my hand. As you can see, it's hitting my fingers. So the spacing of that's a little bit off. So you kind of have to do it that way or just kind of short, short push it and you don't hit your finger. But in the heat of the moment, you're gonna be like, did that, you're gonna be smacking on your finger like that. And that's gonna hurt over time. So pretty nice, it's got aluminum ring on the top for the thing. So, you know, for an entry level style wheel, it's kind of small, but you know, I don't know how it's truly gonna feel until we get it actually on the rig. But like I said, aluminum face, a lot of buttons and it's a very based on say an Xbox style pattern. So that's one thing, you know, we're gonna be putting this on the rig into our Xbox. So we're gonna be running this in a entry level setup to where we would be running it just like somebody who would be having an Xbox setup for their first wheel is gonna run. So let's take a look at the base. The heart and the brain of this is a dual motor gear driven base. And as you can see right there, the contact points are very reminisce and then you have the collar, kind of like a thrust master where you screw it in. It's on a nice hard metal base that has petitions to screw in and things like that. And a pretty sleek design. Now, this is what was interesting when I was looking at this right back here. We have a switch for 900 degrees, 270. So with a flip of a switch, you can go from 270 to 900. And of course you have the plug-in for the pedals and the plug-in for the shifter and then your power outlet and everything like that. And of course your USB to wherever you're hooking up. So overall, it's kind of a sleek design. It feels pretty strong, but it looks like it's mostly all polymer other than this top pieces metal and the base is metal. Everything else is pretty polymer. But that switch in the back is what's very different. I don't think I've ever seen a wheel setup that is like that. So definitely gonna see how this, how sturdy this quicker leases and everything onto it because it's something that I'm very interested to find out. And with that comes, if you don't have a rig, it has these desk clamps that you screw you clamp onto the side and then screw in. So I'm assuming it basically just goes like that and then clamps onto a desk because most people may not have a rig or anything like that. So some pretty robust clamps and pretty decent looking clamps. So we're gonna go ahead and get this thing installed onto the rig so that we can actually do a full test on it. Cause like I said, I'm very curious to see if there's any flex in the wheel or anything like that when it gets screwed in to the base. So we're gonna go take a look at it on the rig and we'll go from there. All right, so we did get everything hooked up on the rig now. So it was not very hard to get it hooked up. Everything kind of clipped in really nicely with the clamps because I used the clamps instead of bolting it directly in because it didn't match up to my base. Plus clamps do very much advice. Paddles and shifter and everything there. So overall the wheel does not feel too bad when you first plug it in. The one weird thing I found when I was getting it set up was in order to get to work on the Xbox, you had to plug your controller in to the back of the wheel. Not that terrible of a thing but that's how it's able to work for PS5 as well. You just plug the controller into the USB port in the back and it mimics the controllers. So it wasn't that big of a deal. So we're here on horizon five. We're using this on our Xbox console so we're gonna go give it a first little test drive in the BMW drift car. Why are you talking? I don't want you talking. So we are going to cancel our rip. There we go. All right. Let's plug. So first impressions of the wheel. The feedback is definitely very much there. I can kind of hear the gears kind of a little bit because it is a gear driven twin motor gear driven wheel. So we're gonna do a little quick clutch kick here. But the wheel actually did spin back and overall is kind of surprising on how it feels compared to say it's counterpart such as the G920s or the Thrustmasters and stuff like that that this wheel is meant for basically you know an entry level style wheel, nothing to compare to say my direct drive wheel. So taking this in its entirety for what it is designed for the shifter is very reminiscent of the tree. Very reminiscent of a Logitech G920 shifter where it has very little feel when it goes in between each gears. The advantage this one has is it's got gates so it's less likely to go into the wrong gear like the G920 would. But it still has that very plasticky you know textile-ish feel which overall is not too terrible. I'm able to get it in gear. The pedals are fully tightened all the way on the spring adjustments and they are very light. I am noticing that I can hit the brakes really hard and I go all the way to the floor but I'm also very much used to my extremely stiff Vintet pedals and the Mazda racing pedals. So with these compared to say my G920 pedals they feel very similar to the G920 pedals that I use to run and overhaul the feedback it's getting a good clutch pain here. I mean we're able to draw some lines and it's actually able to spin back. I thought the wheel was going to feel kind of small with it only being 10 and a half inches wide but like it's only happened smaller than say the G29 wheels. So with that being said overall ease of setup was extremely easy. Getting it all hooked up and working was just as simple as plugging the controller in and it worked which was extremely incredible to just not have to worry too much about it. There is a mobile app that you can install on your phone that gives you some force feedback adjustability and stuff like that which is uncommon for wheels on a console because normally you can't really adjust other than adjustment in game. This one gives you a little bit of ability to adjust it outside of game which is kind of nice and a pretty decent feature. Like I said we're just ripping through here in Horizon 5 and I'm in a good old time with it. Now this wheel is I would say if you have a full blown off PC and you're looking for immersion this would probably not be the wheel I would recommend you choosing because this is set for entry level wheels for people I would say personally getting first into racing or into using the wheel or for the younger generation of people where they may have smaller hands where the panels most really pinch their fingers if they're using them. So if you are on say an Xbox or a PS5 or PS4 or something on those lines and you're looking for a viable wheel entry level options this is a pretty viable wheel option and I'm actually having a good old time kind of getting back to basics in my mindset of back to where I started when I was on a gear driven wheels so the feedback being three and a half newton meters I believe is what it is, is there it's doing exactly what it's been to be doing the feedback you can feel the road you can feel the curb sometimes not so much when you hit cars which I shouldn't be hitting cars anyways but you can feel the little difference in between say when you hit the curb there versus when you're not and when you come off so you know the feedbacks there is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing for you know a twin motor in your drive wheel it's not as loud as I thought it was going to be being the gear driven but you can still definitely hear the gears chattering and stuff like that but over game audio or if you're wearing headphones or something like that you don't really hear it at all so I mean you probably can't even hear it on my HyperX mic which is literally right by the wheel so you can't hear it through the recording mic it's not as loud as you think so my overall conclusion with the PXN V10 is the wheel does feel very good and it performs exactly how they say the three and a half newt meters for feedback is definitely there and you can feel the difference in hitting curbs and when you're on grass such as pavement and things like that the ease to set it up was really easy just being able to plug in the Xbox controller and it linked right to my Xbox which is probably the way it would work for PlayStation as well I don't have a PlayStation so I can't really test that and then plugging it straight into the PC would be exactly how it would work the ability to bind some buttons down with the phone app to make those buttons on the shifter was actually kind of a fun perk to where I could have my handbrake down there for drifting games so overall in conclusion this wheel if you are a entry level into sim looking for a decent wheel that will give you what you're looking for when it comes to force feedback and being able to play arcade games and arcade style games and stuff like Horizon 5 or Recfast or any other of those games that you know it's an arcadey style feel this wheel is a viable option for a casual gamer and maybe a younger generation of gamer now if you have a full blown out PC and a full chassis and you're looking for immersion when it comes to like eye racing or competitor zone or anything of those big racing games this wheel would definitely not be in the ballpark for you that would be more of a direct drive wheel and stuff of that nature because this wheel to me felt like it did back when I first started driving in Forza and stuff on a wheel you know getting into it having a lot of fun with it making it way more fun than a controller and that's what I think the market that this wheel is going for is that entry level style wheel that comes with everything you need simple setup, plug it in, get on the wheel have a good time with it because I had a lot of fun driving on this wheel in Horizon 5 on my Xbox never thought I'd be turning my Xbox on again ever since I built my PC but now I did remember how much fun it actually is so the wheel does exactly what it's meant to do the feedback does feel great some things that could be changed shut as the paddles hitting my fingers were kind of a little bit of a moment but you can work around that now for somebody with smaller hands or the younger generation that may not even be a problem the buttons in their locations were pretty easy to work with everything kind of just worked when you plugged it all in which was super nice the app being able to adjust some force feedback was definitely a very good thing when you could go to the app and adjust force feedback on the app unlike some of the other wheels you can't do that so for this wheel being in the entry level thing against its competitors of other gear driven wheels the wheel stands to its own it definitely does have its feel of some of the entry style wheels it's not full billet aluminum or super heavy so it's super easy to clamp onto like a desk or a table and the force feedback is not gonna rip it off of the table but the force feedback is definitely there more than enough to have fun drift and feel the game better than on a controller so I hope this helps I hope this gives you guys a little bit insight into their new wheel system so make sure you guys follow me on all social media I'll just find the description box below I always thank you guys for coming back and a big thank you to PXN for sending this out so I can get my hands on it and let you guys know how I felt about it and do a little fun and reminisce back onto the Xbox system and a console based wheel so as always thank you guys for coming back I'm EvilRabbit, I'll see you guys on the track.
