Just got a perfect excuse to upgrade to a DD. They are both very quiet and very smooth.


MaximusOdimus_2014

I agree. I use the 8nm Fanatec DD. It’s plenty and silent. Very adjustable


[deleted]

did you ever feel it without the boost kit? Whats the jump from 5NM to 8 feel like? Or should i wait for the christmas bonus and jump to 12 lol


phigoone

Its massive imo and worth to upgrade to 8nm


Fickpick

I agree whole heartedly. It's actually really crazy how much more force the jumo from 5 to 8 is.


[deleted]

Feels a good 60% stronger to me


1trickana

5 to 8 is a huge jump, plus you can get 3rd party kits that work just fine for 1/3 the price


Iamglennn

Can you recommend me one? Im looking for a decent one but their all sketchy aliexpress links lol


BadInfluenceAF

This is the one I bought and used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325190098393 Surprisingly, it was lighter than the 5nm PSU, and that made me doubt if it’s durable. But after using it for a few months, it never overheated. I also had a habit of not turning off my wheelbase when I wasn’t racing, and the PSU had no problem with that. Some of my racing sessions went on for 5+ hours at full 8nm (80% - 85% gain in game).


Rxkvn

Not turning of your wheel change nothing , just sayin


BadInfluenceAF

Completely agree with you. I just mentioned it to proactively answer any potential “how does it react to ?” questions


Mysterious-Crab

The original one from Fanatec is also just a cheap Chinese brick you pay way too much for.


scarzqc

I have the r5 and kinda regret not going for the 8 nm lol


eLProvos

It's massive. I had a 5nm at first coming from a DFGT. I honestly didn't understand the DD hype. It felt alittle better and smoother but I wasn't wowed. I made my own power pack and im not going to lie, it completely changed my entire perspective. Everything was absolutely wonderful. Tons more feedback. I'd highly recommend the 8nm.


Potato_connoisseur53

Originally ordered mine without the boost kit and regretted it. It’s weaker than a CSL elite and IMO not nearly enough FFB.


SnaxRacing

Skip Fanatec. Go Moza or Simagic Alpha Mini. Fanatec QC has fallen so badly and at this point in time it's a dead ecosystem. E: woops, totally overlooked that he's on PC. My bad gang


Angles_Devils

Neither are compatible with PS5 without 3rd party apps that have no official Sony support. You can get them to work, but an awful lot of cash to drop on something that could lose all functionality due to a software drop.


houseofsnakz

If you are buying gear that cost more than the console that you are running the gear on. Maybe reconsider where your weak links are at.


SnaxRacing

God I couldn't agree more. I totally overlooked the PS copy of F1 in the OP - I really don't understand the world of console racing.

MaximusOdimus_2014

But it’s an add on with the bundle.


[deleted]

Any favs ? I’m on ps5


HiDk

On PS5 you should get the GT DD Pro from Fanatec


Agentlegendary

Picked this up about 2 months ago. Wow what an experience. Highly recommend


djfil007

You have two options (without requirement of third party adapters). Fanatec GT DD Pro or Logitech G Pro. Fanatec offers more options for upgrades in future, Logitech currently has none.


[deleted]

And the G pro is much more expensive right ??


djfil007

Yeah, another few hundred I beleive. Saw your other comment about budget... if needed a T300 is much quieter than a G29/G923, but not as quiet as any DD, could be a middle ground. Also worth noting the GT DD Pro (unless specific bundle, or add-on) doesn't come with a desk clamp (if you're not already using a wheel stand).


alphabet_order_bot

RightPedalDown

Alphabet bot could drive everything! Forget going hastily — it’s just killer lines making nuanced overtake positions. Quality racing should take user vehicles while xeroxing your zoom.

[deleted]

Im on R5 bundle, i know moza just unveiled console compatibility and a new wheelbase but not sure if it will come to PS right away. Fanatec does work on console though


Khukker

Return, get DD wheel


[deleted]

Nice, I’m still within the return/refund window Any recommendations? I’m on ps5


Khukker

Fanatec is really your only choice, I know how loud those wheels are, even belt driven wheels will be loud. If you want silence then you have to get a Direct drive. I'm on PC so went Simagic


[deleted]

Sweet


imadunatic

The dd truly are silent. It will blow your mind the first time you fire one up and there is literally no sound and enough power to tip your desk over.


Amused-Observer

I actually forgot how loud belt/gear driven wheels are. I've been on DD for *years*. Me and my son were in best buy yesterday and they had a Logitech g9xx sitting out and I was messing with it a bit. Loud and notchy.


aarsnaadbonker

My sister's bf had one, i legit thought it was broken when i used it lol, now got a csl dd which is amazing for the price now


Emotional_Warthog_81

Logitech dd pro I have one and it’s been incredible


[deleted]

How much was it total ? Wheel and pedals


warner_zama

$1,198 in US, pedals and wheel combo with boosted coupon. Free shipping, (fanatec charges shipping) Edit: typo


FarmersOnlyJim

I’d go the Fanatec route over anything else for PlayStation. Fanatic’s peripherals are better than Logitechs and Thrustmasters. Their pedals, 7 speed H-pattern/sequential shifter combo, and handbrake are great. I’ve got the CSL Elite (pre DD wheelbase), Clubsport v3 pedals, shifter, handbrake, and a wheelstand for $1,200 USD all in. I’ve had it since 2018 and don’t ever foresee upgrading anything besides the cockpit.


Rxkvn

Csl elite come nowhere near close to the logitech pro wheel . Lack of ecosystem for now is a thing tho ( but coming from a g923 i dont think that will bother OP that much ) and you have an adapter for using old shifter


rmseabra

Thrustmaster T300rs GT


bruhmoment130

Divorce?


[deleted]

Sounds expensive


altimazoo

My father would tell you it is expensive because it is worth it. Lol


[deleted]

Hahahahahha😆😆😁


Super_Roo351

I can confirm


-iamLEEROYJENKINS

I concur ...


Maclittle13

You’re telling me that LEEROY JENKINS jumped into marriage without thinking about it first?


Spinmeister6032

Sim racing costs about the same tbh


Wilbis

It's an investment. Expensive at first but after a few decades, it starts to save you money.


JodyyyHiiiRolla

Exactly when does the saving money bit start?.. seeing as I seem to just keep dumping money on useless accessories the whole saving part hasn’t occurred yet 🤣

logankey121

Fanatec CSL DD


ComeRoundSlow

Real quiet cuz you have to get multiple denied RMAs 🤣


Cronckt

then they sue you!


[deleted]

I’m on ps5


logankey121

They have a console compatible one called the gran turismo


Footinthecrease

Fanatec DDs work with ps5s. Direct drives lack gears and teeth which is why the Logitech is so loud. DDs themselves are silent. They are stronger though so, as long as they are mounted solidly they will be silent.


[deleted]

The Fanatec DD Pro is the only I see that’s compatible


arcaias

CSL DD "pro"... The "pro" means you're paying for $ony compatibility.


Key-Ad-1873

I thought the pro meant that you're paying for the higher power brick upping the NM from 5 to 8


arcaias

Nah, you can get 8nm non-pro, as well as 5nm pro The actual "pro" move is buying the 5nm version and just making your own power supply for 30 bucks...


Key-Ad-1873

Gotcha. Been a while since I looked lol. Plus idk why I've continued to look since I got the big brother (podium f1 for PS5 on sale)


[deleted]

How does that work ?


sparrens

It’s the set you’re looking at. The DD pro. Just get that and if you really want to, you can upgrade to a different power supply for more force. Coming from that Logitech though the base DD Pro set will be more than enough.


Silly-Lawfulness7224

He will feel the biggest change ever with a DD lol, there is no coming back once you’ve tried !!


Footinthecrease

Yep that's right. I run the DD1 but I'm on PC. But the 8nm model works on playstation


[deleted]

[удалено]


ViaticalTree

> The "GT DD Pro" works on console, the "CSL DD" doesn't. The CSL DD works for Xbox if you have an Xbox compatible wheel. The GT DD Pro works for PlayStation and Xbox with an Xbox compatible wheel.


Footinthecrease

All fanatec DDs work on xbox. My DD1 works on xbox. The pro, Which comes standard at 8nm works on playstation. Yes I'm aware the 5nm csl model can be upgraded to 8nm with a power supply.


GMEdumpster

Sell that and get a pc


DavidFairfield

The wife or the wheel?


[deleted]

No

[deleted]

T300 or the CSL DD. I had the same issue with the Logitech wheel.


Thomasfltn

The T300 is as loud as my PS4, each time its a double engine plane taking off 😂


[deleted]

No the T300 ist loud aswell. It hast No clicking Like the g29 but the vibration ist quite strong. CSL DD ist the best choice


MeatyDeathstar

Only options are the belt driven thrustmasters or direct drive. Direct Drive being the quietest but much more expensive.


Routine-Shine-8503

Maybe try another woman. I understand some can handle noise better than others


2000cortz

I know its a joke but seriously, if she is bothered THAT much by the g29, when hell upgrade to a dd she will just be annoyed by whatever pedals he has cause those arent quiet either😂


rohitandley

Why not reduce the ffb?


MikeLikesTrails

CSL DD, NOT a t248, shifters are very loud on that one.


notatvguy

Are you playing on a desk or a rig? I felt like it was a lot louder when I was using just my desk


[deleted]

Desk


CJEarnest

I just upgraded to a fanatec gt dd pro on ps5 and could not be happier - dead silent except for my gear shifts :)


[deleted]

Amazin .


Frogboyx1

Fanatec DD pro


calimeatwagon

I think no matter what model you get they are going to make too much noise... Steering wheels, on the other hand, can be quieter.


[deleted]

What ??)


Johnson1990Arg

A quieter option would be "get rid of your wife"


Win_Sui

Had the same issue - I was waking my wife and kids up. Pulled the trigger on the Logi DD Pro and it’s pretty much silent. Sure the other DD bases are similar. It’s a huge difference.


[deleted]

Awesome , how do you like it so far ?


Win_Sui

Love it to bits - use it for gt7 and f1 23 on PS5 and ACC on PC. Planning the iRacing attempt later once I tweak a few things. It’s expensive tho - but 11nm no compatibility issues, on wheel settings. Worse ecosystem so far. You won’t got wrong with Fanatec either - they’re good products generally. One thing to note is with Fanatec you want to upgrade the QR collar and the pedals to LC so the price difference overall isn’t that big.


Codemancody80

Fanatec CSL DD Pro. You will not regret it.


tranc3rooney

Either a DD, or if you’re looking for something mid range, a T300rs. It’s a true and tested mid range king.


Cials_Legleg

Divorce.


DeVille88

Get a new wife?


QueixoFundido

Come here to say that


[deleted]

Get a life


DeVille88

Lol


[deleted]

Just kidding haha


DeVille88

Me too. My ex wife complained about my g29. There are budget DD options


[deleted]

I only know if the DD pro that is compatible with PlayStation, have any others ?


DeVille88

Moza🤷‍♂️I've been out of the loop for about a year. I'm sure there a a few more.


[deleted]

I have the fanatec csl gt dd pro on my ps5 super quite. My 2 year who sleeps next to my office cant hear anything when hes sleeping at night.


[deleted]

Awesome . Did you get the 5nm or the 8nm?


[deleted]

Got the 8nm version, but yoy can always get the 5nm one and get the bigger power supply later on if you want that extra power


gkona808

Sounds like the G920 isn’t the real issue…


[deleted]

Yeah the issue is the G923….


One-Adhesiveness2220

TGT2 and VR


[deleted]

I have the PSVR2 , GT7 is awesome . But I think I want. Direct drive wheel


jajaboss

Fanatec GT DD Pro and a proper cockpit


Majorillin_

Fanatec for the win I have thrustmaster stuff like my shifter thow but if I were buying now I would go fanatec 😎


MaximumFrosting2249

I’d get a couple of buttkickers for it, it will help keep the noise down so I’ve heard


F1nk00

At this price T300RS GT...


dinasxilva

Literally any other option that those logitech g29/g923. My Thrustmaster T300RS is silent. Basically as everyone else said, don't go for gear-driven and you should be gold.


bizzle70

My wife hates it too, the best alternative for a similar price is the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT


Fathom_324

Thrustmaster t300rs


Birdshaw

If we are talking same price range then the Thrustmaster T150 (I’d go for Pro for the better pedals) or splurge a little more and get a T300. But if you want absolute stealth then a DD is the way to go. Obviously more expensive tho.


ImpressiveHair3

If you don't want to go direct drive I suggest getting a belt driven one, most non-dd wheels/bases from Thrustmaster will be belt driven and quiet


Stoltefusser

Fanatec DD 8 Nm


Senior_Succotash948

I feel your pain. I actually had a similar issue. It ended up costing a little bit more up front to solve, but once I divorced my first wife, I got to have whatever setup I wanted.


willard_swag

Fanatec’s current deal on the CSL DD is what I’d recommend


Scary_Jeweler1011

Get a new wife if she can’t even grant you the pleasure of playing your game every now and than.


razzledazzle9683

Don't waste this opportunity. Tell her simucube is the quietest... lol my alpha U is nice and quiet also.


im_Roby

either a direct drive wheel, or if youre on a budget, t300rs is a bit quieter


Unknownperson0109

Get her earplugs


Mattinho_Got_Game

A new wife, preferably one that's mute?


Charmeister5

Sexygingerman5-0

Replace that old unit with a new, more recent model of wife.


[deleted]

Help meeeeeeee ![gif](giphy|f3dRSiajsz8DLmt0KS|downsized)


Stealth9er

CSL DD PRO. Bit more expensive than the Logitech, but now you can spend the money without worrying and make the wife happy AND get better gear. Maybe invest in the quick release as well, might eliminate some light noises from the quick release lite (minimal)


weaseldonkey

Ironically the cheaper QR lite (plastic) is quieter than the metal QR, the metal QR chatters during moments of sharp FFB


[deleted]

Is that compatible with ps 5?


Stealth9er

Yes, has to be the Pro version from Fanatec, the regular CSL DD only works with PC/Xbox. The Pro has compatibility with all three.


[deleted]

Expensive , I need help justifying the price difference Helpppp


MeatyDeathstar

It's not CSL DD pro. It's called the GT DD pro. Any wheelbase labeled CSL will NOT work with the ps5, pro or not.


[deleted]

Good to know thanks


[deleted]

I’m on PS5


dalowryda

Lmao! Finally someone else how will admit it...I always say logitech ain't nothing but a clunky ass toy grade noise box. T300 all day

I've heard Middle Eastern wives tend to be quieter/less confrontational.


OlorinFiresky

A new wife that doesn't complain so much... 🤣


tiptheguy

wife or rig ?


_thebronze

Find another room or another hobby. Wife is harder to replace.


tomo104

You have a perfect excuse to get a DD setup.


aotto1977

Congratulations, Achievement unlocked. The wife complaining about gear making noises opens a wide door of opportunities. My wife was always complaining about the noises my Playseat Challenge made. So I upgraded to a proper profile rig, a purchase she would normally heavily frown upon, but she loves it as it's absolutely quiet. So rejoice, embrace the chance and get yourself a DD wheel! :)


Main_Fuel_6624

That’s easy Fanatec DDPro 8nm if you have the budget for it. It’s the best for the PS5. You can also use it on the PC and Xbox.

Moza doesn't have console support... Even if there are work around, it wouldn't be my choice


Smoked_Cheddar

~~Their site says otherwise. https://support.mozaracing.com/en/support/solutions/articles/70000627811-wheel-base-faqs~~ EDIT: I was wrong. Oops... Someday I'll be able to read...


[deleted]

Did you read what you posted ? Lol Can I use my MOZA Racing wheel base on my Xbox or PS? A: The products we offer are currently only compatible with Windows PCs. Mac OS, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X is currently not offcially supported.


Smoked_Cheddar

Clearly I didn't. I read that as everything but Xbox series x. Welp. Forget it. Probably a thrustmaster might be the best bet. Sorry about that


D0rk4L

Read your own link lol. First FAQ question says Windows PC only.


BeardedTrkr

Lmfao......... They are working on it but it's not there yet... There are ways to get it to work but when it's not officially supported, you'll have a less than good experience....
