DON'T Buy it! Unless...| Fanatec CSL DD Review 2024

Hey, I now have a discord server! :) - Come join if you have any questions about anything I review aswell as having a chat! ( I also share sneak previews of future content! ) 👀 Link: discord.gg/eVkcqsUE9F

[@william12341]

I've had mine since release as an upgrade from my g29, it's been amazing, no issues at all, buttery smooth and definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

[@Sim_Pulse]

Had the same upgrade path and have the same thoughts! Certainly a meaningful improvement, and hopefully Fanatec moves past it's current state!

[@Dutch3DMaster]

Looking for a completely different setup for a sim-rig than a heavily adapted G27, I went with a second hand CSL GT DD Pro (I hope I say that right). The seller I bought it from allowed me to play some games. It was WILD to experience the exact feeling I had in driving school for a regular car when loosing grip (my instructor took me to a parking lot without curbs after it had snowed quite a bit, and made me speed up and he would randomly pull the parking brake). While it hasn't been in use for racing (bus/truck-sim rig setup), feeling the force I felt on a coach I had a test lesson on is quite the experience. The only reason the adapted G27 went out the door is because of the fact it was already broken when I got it (a colleague I got it from asked me to check it out, it had a tendency to loose center, so I thought a broken encoder disc only, but it was quite a bit worse on the inside, the wheel had been played HARD). Even though there was an old bicycle headset attached to it so the heavy weight of the truck wheel that was mounted on it would not have all the forces exerted on the G27 itself, the truck wheel itself was way to heavy to be put in motion at autocalibration (You had to help it, which...well, was not practical). I only have had the clamp shift with a slight click, but that is the only thing. But obviously, my wheelbase is not getting used to it's extremes.

@@Sim_PulseHopefully Thomas finds investors he can trust. Who does not want to take Fanatec away from him. Fanatec is a must buy brand for big corporations there is no doubt about that. In my opinion Thomas is where the magic happens without him Fanatec could fail.

@@Sim_Pulse well im little late but corsair is promising only thing i worry about is their pricing and ICUE but other than that they are very good imo so im excited to enter the sim racing scene again

[@againstall4agsandtrans511]

Wtf do u guys do to your wheel bases. Mine has been fine

[@Sim_Pulse]

Glad to hear! - The port issue is most likely because of people tugging the cables and cable managing them too tight, causing strain on the weakly soldered ports and causing them to come out. As for the collar, it happens because of the vibrations the wheelbase sends through the shaft, and since it is only secured on one side, it loosens and wiggles it's way out. Hope this helps, and I'm hapy to hear you aren't having isues like the rest of us!

Exactly they have sold so many units that some have fallen into the hands of people that don’t take care of anything.

[@assaf1971]

I have decided to take the risk (with the delivery issues of Fanatec) their website said the products are in stock and ships between (4 - 7 Days) on 25/06/2024 I purchased CSL DD + wheel and pedals from their website (at night) on 26/06/2024 my order was marked as being processed on 28/06/2024, my order was scanned by UPS in Hamburg, waiting for customs examination. and it is estimated to be delivered on 03/07/2024 to my address in the UK I would say it is pretty good and it has exceeded my expectations. It looks like they have sorted out their warehouse/operational issues... I think the community should know that, and it's worth doing a positive video about it. After all the bad publicity they had, I am sure it will be a hit video.

[@Sim_Pulse]

Wow! If the trend continues and more people experience the same, I’d be glad to eat my own words and make a quick update video :) Honestly, I’m so glad that Fanatec has been able to somewhat keep themselves alive, and hopefully this is the start of their bounce back for all our sakes 🤞🏻

[@madhaz3359]

Fanatec as a product is actually top quality, nothing wrong with it and it works fine. There will always be the odd issue with someone but overall, a very good brand. In my opinion, they are better than every other racing brand because of the widely supported wheels and wheelbases for consoles. Yes, there are issues regarding customer service and so on, but everything else is top notch!

[@wwjnz9263]

Fanatec should stop selling the QR1 with this wheelbase. Once I made the switch to the QR2, all trepidations about the quick release went away. The QR2 is rock solid! Too bad the new QR causes a markup on all of their steering wheels. An attractive price like the Clubsport F1 E-Sports' $220.00 price becomes a souring $320.00. A steering wheel I really want, the Clubsport RS ($300.00) is now a $400.00 purchase. Sorry but I don't think the RS is a $400.00 wheel even with the QR2. They are not doing themselves any favors with the QR2 tax. Oh well... And if you do get a CSL-DD or a GTDD Pro, do yourself a favor and get a torque wrench. Torque the bolt on the collar down to spec and you'll never have the wheel unplug on you while racing. Also you should install it on to a sturdy wheel stand at the very least, and leave it there until you either sell it or upgrade to a cockpit. When I got my CSL DD I put it on my GT Omega Apex wheel stand, and not once did I remove it from the stand. I also didn't have to remove the RJ12 cable to my pedals since I initially installed them. No jack problems for me, and I frequently fold the stand and put it away when I am not racing. What I am saying is, a fairly permanent installation will mitigate 99% of the RJ jack issues.

[@Sim_Pulse]

QR2 prices are ridiculous… I wish they’d make it so that you can pay for either one at checkout ( QR1 or QR2… ) PS: Super helpful tips so I’ll pin you :) Ty for commenting and helping out the community! :D ( PPS….

[@Cavi587]

I have had my CSL DD for just a bit under a year, with the old quick release and the cheapest plastic QR1. I did not beat it up as some people did, I will admit that, I never had enough time to simrace consistently, over the year I've put just a couple hundred hours in various sims, mainly iRacing. I don't have the 8nm booster, just the default 5nm one and I haven't experienced any problems with my wheel and the quick release itself. No crackling, no loose wheel, it works fine. I will, however, buy the whole QR2 conversion kit when I eventually buy the 8nm booster. Overall I am pretty happy with it, it's my first simracing wheelbase ever so I might not have much comparison, but the quality of the shaft and the ports in my case is good, and I can't even complain about the plastic QR1. The only issue here that somewhat affected me was the long shipping. I did actually place my order a bit before the black friday sale so it didn't take THAT long as I live right next to Germany, but it was quite slow as compared to anything I have ever ordered that wasn't from China lol.

[@crusher-101]

I just ordered my first csl DD the other day. Then I found out about the bankruptcy thing. Hoping it doesnt affect me too much. I'm glad to hear that you're happy with yours, that makes me feel a ton better about buying one. I've been using the T150 TM and it's actually been a great wheel. At the moment I'm on the old fanatec csl ps4/pc base. When I bought it the problem with the FFB has issues with 100% it shuts down. So I have to turn it down to 35%/ 45% to even play. Not a big deal but I wished it worked properly. So I am excited about the upgrade. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us. Cheers & happy simracing.

[@dubsdiditup]

I have a question I ordered the one of the wheel base bundles from fanatec should I cancle that order and choose a different company? Also btw great video I'm surprised you don't even have 500 subs yet you definitely have a lot of potential

[@Sim_Pulse]

Tysm! Means a lot :) Honestly I'm not too sure, as Fanatec have (mostly) sorted their shit out as of recent. I'd honestly go for Moza, Simagic, Cammus etc. just because of the "better" customer support and quality. Though I have heard some horror stories from those mentioned companies aswell :/ - I'd probably just see if You like the other ecosystems better or not and go from there :)

[@dubsdiditup]

@Sim_Pulse ok thank you for the info I'm completely new to sim racing/driving this video was very helpful. I'll prolly just wait and see how the fanatec products are because they offer the 14 day return period which is pretty nice.

@@dubsdiditupHey, Did you already receive your pack? And if yes do you like it? It would be great if you could share your experience how it's going, because I was also thinking about buying one for myself.

[@dubsdiditup]

@@flink_samt_official yes actually I got it a few days ago now. I had a bunch of little problems that added up but weren't the biggest of deals. Until I got my pedals a day later after the rest of the bundle. The problem was the Fanatec Control Panel software wouldn't recognize the pedals the software was broken it said I needed an update but when ever I clicked to update it would just close the program and do nothing. I tried to trouble shoot it for hours but ultimately got frustrated and started the return process I couldn't do anything to fix it besides maybe to just wait. In conclusion it was a giant waste of time I'd say go with a different company.

[@flink_samt_official]

@@dubsdiditup ok thanks for your help. Even though you had a few problems, I think I would consider buying it. Because my friend also has one and everything works just fine for him. And if i really don't like it I will Return it. Did you try just do delete and re download the app? Or maybe try another port for the pedals? Anyway thanks for your reply!

[@digglerdiggler]

Yeahh, on the fence to buy a new wheel for my CSL DD. Just uncertainty on how Fanatec is now coming onto a clear path from the current mess is keeping me from actually buying. Don't want to hand over my hard earned cash and be in jeopardy of having anything delivered from them.

[@Sim_Pulse]

Very true! - I hope it Changes for all of our sakes… , For now when people ask me ( on TikTok ) what they should buy, I can’t recommend Fanatec as much as I would love to… :/

[@oldgeezerstoybox]

My Fanatec purchases were earlier this year. I had three separate purchases, they all came through very quickly. I am very pleased with the products I bought and would buy again. Not purchasing will be what will kill Fanatec. Some KZbin channels probably have hurt the situation, when things would have probably been better if they had just kept their mouths shut. Also some people have to jump on the hate bandwagon even if they have no skin in the game. They situation with getting the license from Sony taking longer did not help.

[@digglerdiggler]

@@oldgeezerstoybox you know what, I agree with you and just to back it up - I put skin in the game despite my initial hesitation and ordered the McLaren wheel. It took one business day processing and I have a UPS shipping number due for today. The operational end is performing and even beating expectation. It's a company with great products - hope they sort out the management issues soon and carry on strong.

hi mate, do yo have a review on the new fanatec CSW DD+?? qr2 and everything.. is it possible or suggested to buy one now with the fanatec/crossair changes in this weeks??

[@Sim_Pulse]

Hello! Unfortunately not, since I'm not partnered with Fanatec nor have any ties to them.. Though I can give My two cents on the situation, as a long term fanatec customer! :) - To be honest, I actually have heard good things about Fanatec actually sending out products as of recent. With people in My community receiving their stuff, for the most part, within a week or two. Though You do have to take into account that those stories were from a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure If I'd quite trust fanatec while they transition just Yet. I'd wait for word on either reddit or from @Kireth on KZbin to see if people are actually receiving their stuff once everything with corsair has smoothened out. Plus there are bound to be a ( probably not HUGE but still sizable ) sale on black friday! :) - Hope this helps, and if You still feel Unsure, feel free to ask around! 😁

[@destidriver2265]

Just use the stuff, as long as it works everything is fine. But beware if something breaks, like my CSL DD base after 3-4 times of playing, it always turns off and smells burnt. Fanatec support cannot be reached by phone, opened a ticket, nobody answers. Sent a registered letter with a deadline for repair/replacement, no response either. As long as the stuff works it's really great, but unfortunately this is already my 2nd base that has broken down. The first one was repaired under warranty a few years ago, now with a table clamp and QR2 module I've spent almost €500 for 3-4 times of playing. I've already informed a lawyer, who said wait a bit and then he'll get involved. It's really sad that you can only enforce your rights as a consumer with a lawyer. That is not how it works, Fanatec!

[@mrj3217]

DO NOT BUY A DD LESS THAN 15 NM BUT IDEALLY 20 NM TO BE SET FOR A LONG TIME DRIVING ANY CAR. I purchased the CSL DD 8nm like 6 months before the larger DDs dropped and coming from a T-300 it is so much better. But I would say 3 months later and I knew I am still missing out of a lot of details. The 8nm DD dosen't feel the same with a BMW GT2 rim as it does the with GT7 rim it came with. Solid rims which are bigger need more force to transfer the accurate FFB and I feel like I do not get the exact same feelings using this wheel like I do the smaller plastic GT7 wheel. I am going to be getting a 20nm DD next. I might actually switch to Simucube 2 pro and get the Mod to use my Fanatec wheels on this DD.

[@Sim_Pulse]

To be honest, after recently receiving a Cammus DDWB and Cammus C12 for review ( spoiler? I guess? ) I can definitely agree that 8nm is not enough. The Cammus C12 feels somehow stronger than the 15nm DDWB, and I run that at 80%. Anything more is overkill

The only issuebi have with Fanatec is that stupid collusion with sony or PD on having to buy a pro inorder to be compatible with PS5 for GT7 -_- Keep the chips in the actual steering wheel not the base. Their full force hasnt been even implemented in GT7 or any other PS games... whats the point? Wheres the value?

[@Sim_Pulse]

I do have to admit that the actual monetary value of the GT-DD and all PlayStation compatible Fanatec bases aren’t the best. I think that the chips being in the base make it better for compatibility, as you can use all wheelrims ( new and even old ) with the wheelbase. Same with if you want to use a third party wheelrim ( drift wheelrim or karting wheelrim, etc. ) using an SRM emulator on console, you don’t need to have a fanatec wheelrim to do that :D

This is the GT-DD ( PlayStation compatible CSL DD - The actual hardware is identical, only difference being the outer casing/design, and the PlayStation compatibility :)

[@Dutch3DMaster]

The DD or DD Pro, or GT DD and GT DD Pro are identical in hardware. The GT version allows for more game console support than the regular version which only allows PC and I think also XBox support (this last one, I think depends on the wheel installed). Appending the Pro means: A more powerful power supply. In hardware other than the power supply nothing changes.

[@kelvingomersall7460]

I suppose that makes my DD Pro set up quite valuable then. Time to flog me thinks.

[@Dutch3DMaster]

If you do, they do sell quite well as second hand items. Try to picture the pins of the wheels clearly so you can show people that they are undamaged. When I sold some of the wheels I got in a second hand set (it's used for a sim-rig setup that doesn't see a lot of racing so racing wheels are not exactly useful to me) 2 buyers of the wheels I sold mentioned they liked the clear pictures of the pins. When looking at second hand sets (this was back in May 2023, so quite a while back) it wasn't uncommon to see an add for a set gone within hours of getting placed.

[@shoden]

Fanatec going bankrupt and I think they'll take sometime to recover. RIP.

[@THESHADOW97139]

Even (especially) second-hand, don't count on me to buy ....

[@Sim_Pulse]

Entirely valid! It’s a great wheelbase, though haunted by it’s issues :(

[@Dutch3DMaster]

@@Sim_Pulse I bought a second hand set, the seller took great care of it. A necessary not to add: it's primarily used in truck/bus simulation, so far from pushing the limits on the thing. It's been a breeze to switch on each and every time though compared to the heavily modified G27 I used prior :P (There is a real truck wheel of 48 cm's in diameter mounted to it).

Hopefully it all arrives in one piece! - if you don’t get a tracking number within 2/3 weeks, I’d try contacting your bank and refunding the charge 🫡 Good luck soldier

How? It's shown as out of stock on their website for the past few days

[@TechkNEiK]

@@joop_opa i must of got lucky because they had stock when I ordered. only thing that was trash is there discount package made me get two metal quick connect. so now I gotta deal with that, but if you catch in time you can try to email so you get it discounted but not double charged

Moza it is then LoL *Joyful sarcastic sigh*

[@walshja81]

With a company like Asetek there's zero chance that I'd ever buy a Fanatec. Just listening to the CEO's can tell you which company is better to buy from.

[@Sim_Pulse]

Fanatec is slowly restructuring… hopefully it all works and it’ll all be better than before! 🤞🏻 ( for fanatec buyer’s sake )

I think this review has something to do with competition with uk made and American made.

[@Sim_Pulse]

? - Fanatec is neither American nor UK made? Even if they were…. That isn’t the point of the review? 👁👄👁

I recently ordered a wheel and received it no problem. The wheel works great. I should have gotten it sooner actually. Fanatec is just a solid product.

@@Phantom096 I was expecting mine yesterday - now it looks like Tuesday. No fault of fanatec for the delay! If it all works well I'll be sure to give them a great review . They sent it all out in good time.
