In next video I will check CSL DD and New CSL Pedals and try to find difference between 5nm and 8nm while using CSL DD on TABLE! :)

[@f1_will304]

looks awesome. just wandering. whats your monitor?

[@Kropikovo]

That's the stuff. I can't fit a cockpit or a wheel stand, but I reeeealllly wanna upgrade from my G29. If the 5 nm won't brake your table, i'll buy it :)

[@Jardier]

Hahahah thank you :D I was shocked :D

[@jonboy602]

I'm scared to go near the CSL now, will have to hit the gym for a couple of years first. I can't afford to lose my arms. :O

[@VolatileDave]

Awesome how enthusiast grade tech is getting cheaper and more accessible to more bedroom racers :)

[@Marcel_be]

14:00 quick maths: 20 nm at 60% and 35% is 4,2. 8 nm at 80% and 70% is 4,48. so yeah, about the same. so why would anyone now get a 1200€ DD1, when they can get a CSL DD for a third of the cost

[@AnotherWatchChannel]

I just got a CSL DD Pro, and I have a DD1. I had to see the difference. MIND BLOWN. The CSL DD with boost kit is insane. It really does feel like 10-12nM. I compared this on my DD1, and in the end… I put my DD1 up for sale the same day I got my CSL DD pro. I definitely know you feel a little more detail in FFB over DD1, but more importantly its more intense at comparable levels. I can’t say its 10-12nM, but it feels like it… its strong as hell. DD1 is not necessary. CSL DD with boost kit is all you need. Enjoy your life.

[@jstorey584]

I already recieved the McLaren GT3 wheel & CSL pedals. Preordered back in June in wave 1. Just waiting on the base & boost kit now. Order info shows delivery by the first week of September. So only a couple more weeks to go. I can't wait! As always love the content Jard! Keep up the hard work mate 👊

[@SuperzzDazz]

Great video, already know i'm getting a CSL DD as soon as it was revealed, glad to watch you actually using the thing and having it meet all of my own expectations, i just need to use it myself now :)

You are such a great dude! Really nice for the whole simracing community to have such a positive figure

My current wheel, Logitech G27, is only 2.3 NM so this would be a massive upgrade for me. Great vid as always Jardier.

Thank you Jardier , right now I'm at the bottom of the barrel with the T150 but I just ordered everything , the CSL DD with booster pack , CSL Elite pedals , CSL Elite McLaren steering wheel , table clamp and quick release adapter. I sim race in VR , I'll be doing a live unboxing and testing on my channel and I'll gladly let you know what I think although I don't think I'll be disappointed given what I'm currently working with 💪💪💪

Great review sir! I went and impulsively bought the Thrustmaster load cells pedals yesterday instead of saving some more for a full Fanatec set. Your review definitely let me drooling in anguish haha

Thanks for the review Jardier! Can't wait to have it, after almost 10 years with my old G27 :))

I have too a G27, so excited for the Fanatec

Lets go mate!!!! G27 is still legend tho!

[@TheSimmoAu]

Very enthusiastic review Jardier 👍 Mine has finally shipped so should see this it in a week or so. Upgrading from G25 after 16 years! Very impressive Logitech! Can’t wait to get my hands on this.

[@egj1975]

This WILL be a game changer... so many do not have the money to get a DD1 but want DD. I have preordered mine and I look so much forward to it.

[@Jardier]

yeah!

[@patsam]

Love your videos! As a new sim racer, I'm so excited to receive my CSL DD. I am happy that I have the option to get the 5nm or the 8nm. I opted to the get the 5nm just for the price point and as a feel the need to upgrade, I'll consider the boost kit or perhaps something stronger!

[@Jardier]

Thank you :)

[@madmags969]

Pre-ordered this with boost kit (as its the only way I'll ever own a DD due to price). Can't wait until October for it to arrive (according to the order details anyway). Major step up for me as I have a TMX at the moment.

[@seebarry4068]

Don’t fell bad about it, this looks brilliant. He had to turn down the power settings on the 8nm Psu.

[@seancrisel5994]

same, preordered, with boost kit, will be here in Oct.. upgrading from at t300

[@GrantMerle]

ive hurt my hands on my csw 2.5 during crashes and such, dont really understand why people insist on higher than 8 nm for home use. You really can hurt yourself and it shouldnt be considered a toy

[@hikingjoe4752]

Having a TMX at the moment too. Or well had one until I sold it a few days ago. I think I’ll preorder the CSL DD in a few days too. also with the Boost kit and a GT3 R wheel which is going to be a bit expensive but I think a major step up.

[@marcusberggren9241]

I went from a TMX to csl elite and I will likely uppgrade to the CSL DD. Hope you like it

[@mrj3217]

Thank you for being honest with your info and review. You gained a sub I can trust you will say it how it is.

Thanks for this review. Awesome video, mate....love your enthusiasm! Sucks that no PS5 version is out there, so I'm still waiting.

[@petesreef1891]

Seems like a great product for the money, the best entry level direct drive available I think . I have the dd1 too but direct drive for that cost don’t think any others can match 👍

[@teaks68]

Best review ever buddy!! You made my day!! Mine comes in Sept. with the boost kit!! Going from logitech to this should be pretty cool!!

[@faultycpu]

@Jardier I’m an older guy and only recently got into sim racing on ACC. Already I can see that my g923 is holding me back a bit. With two daughters a lot of my cash seems to vanish into thin air, so if I want to upgrade I need to make sure I have a target $$$ amount which I need to put a little money away each paycheck to make sure I buy the right thing first time. Jardier, this review and the one about the Mclaren wheel, help me immensely, so thank you. Once I have saved up I’ll use your link to buy the CSL DD Mclaren v2 Elite Bundle 8nm. This one seems like the perfect fit for me. thanks again for your review.

Awesome video! Come on September! Hurry up !

Awesome Review, thanks!!!!

Very interested in getting one, just have to get busy to build a DIY setup and lets go!

[@stubby8663]

Thank you for the review Jardier, This will be my next upgrade in the future and will got the 8Nm boost kit. With my chest that comes apart still like it does, There is No use getting a DD1. There is No way I could handle That kind of power so this will be perfect for me.

[@Jardier]

Exactly Stubby! Thank you :)

I like your reviews, because even if you are affiliated with Fanatec the videos feel honest. It's great to have a review with all the techincal details, but it is even better to get one that feels honest and well from a normal user. Keep it up this way!!!

Thank you :)

Flawless cut on that F bomb. My virgin ears weren't ready to hear that lol

[@stefanbuczko2533]

Thanks for the review, @jardier! I am in the process of getting into sim racing. I just bought the McLaren GT3 V2 rim, and I'm saving up now for the CSL DD (5NM for the beginning). This is very encouraging since I already committed $200. If you're talking about Fanatec bringing DD to the "entry level"-market, you're talking about people like me. Only once Fanatec announced the release of the CSL DD I considered ditching my Xbox controller. See you all on track..... eventually. 😅

[@markus_seitz]

Always use 100% FF on the base and just change the ingame ff to prevent clipping: )

[@jancko995]

U sure? I use in ( f1 games) 100 or higher ff ingame. And lower ff on base

[@_NeverLate_]

Base should always be at 100, in game you change to your preference

[@Ph4nt0m9010]

Thank you for your impressions :) I can't wait for my CLS DD, but you said in the 24h stream there was an update released and you can nearly make a new review. Is it because of the "emptiness"? Thx in advance and keep on pushing :D

[@Jardier]

I was just thinking about it and will check it tomorrow and do one more review together with pedals and table clamp, But also I forgot to mention that I come from using DD1 so my point of view might be a little blurry compare to others :)

[@Ph4nt0m9010]

​@@Jardier just like driving a 600 ps car and go back to 200 :) For me it's a big upgrade and also ordered the V3 pedals, so might be a whole new level of feeling the car for me :D

Well... Had a baby in January and I had zero time to simrace since then. As soon as I can grasp some minutes for myself... I'm getting one of these.

nono not 24H Spa but all races before :)

[@Stupendous855]

This was a brilliant review, I've had a dissapointing experience with Thrustmaster and for the price this offers fantastic performance for the price

[@stevecleaver8933]

Great video & fantastic explanation Jardier, thank you. My only issue with the CSLDD is that it's not PlayStation compatible & I want a wheel that I can use on PS4 Pro/PS5 (when I can finally get hold of one) as well as PC so, for me, it look slike I'll have to continue using my Logitech G29 for now & hope Fanatec get the PS version of the CSLDD onto the market soon.

[@hip62]

waiting to purchase one of these after theyve sent them all out to the youtube simracers :-) out of stock everywhere not surprisingly :-)

[@Daz555Daz]

Even though I'm 90% a PC sim racer I'm going to wait for the PS4/5 version. Maybe a little Christmas present to myself!

[@lume.3887]

What are the advantages of a 28Nm DD wheel over an 8 Nm one if you are only using about 5nm when turning the car?

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Literally my absokute favorite wheelbase on the market perfect 8nm feels more like 10nm tbh the detail is amazing imo I felt more form it then the ds1 outrunner motor. I've always rpeffered servo motors. It's also smoother then the dd1. I am going to get the cal dd as my main yes that's right over my dd1. I can't help it I fell in love with it when using it. Not to mention the form factor. It felt slightly more responsive I'm guessing due to the size and the fact it has the first ever carbon fiber shaft on a dd wheel. It also seems a bit quicker because of that and it's size crazy right? Some may not admit it. A fee have tho yes youtubers. I mean its a beast and for it ro be this good off rhe bat. Without drivers down the road is insane. Think about how long it took for them to get the dd1 and dd2 to the level its at now. The csl dd comes out the gate that good. That says alot imo. Yes the smoothness is noticeable there isn't a single notch or grain in it like the dd1 has. It actually feels as smooth as the semicube. Imo 8nm is plenty when you feel the 8nm on this base you may be surprised. It felt like more and I have no idea why. Literally 80 percent of the people who have reviewed it already using the boost kit actually turn it down a little bit. Let's hope fanatec doesn't downgrade it through the drivers as people will like this more then the dd1 and I'm worried they will rig it to where it isn't as good due to sales. I really hope that isn't the case lol. Did yoy hear him he's like this is my wheel now haha. Think about it nobody had this reaction with the dd1 ans dd2 right at release. Also think about what he said he didn't use it at full power yet said its the ssme power at the 80 percmet in game then 70 on the wheel as his settings on his dd1 yet wanted to bring up the power when he said himself he doesn't use more. Think about that. The only person to say it was lacking. Believe me guys thw dd1 doesn't feel better I own one. I have a buddy he's a content creator I won't name who. But it felt better then my dd1. Don't listen to people sponsored by fanatec. Of course rhwy want to damage control they don't want a 500 dollar base to be as good. I told yall this would happen I promise you it isn't worse it's as good as the dd1 for me I enjoyed it more. The servo kotor is smoother. It has just as much detail. It's slightly more responsive and it's a bit quicker. Those outrunner motors arent. Even fanatec admitted this. The outrunner was for pure power. Did you notice his reaction the first 7 days and just so amazed and just was even like oh this is my new wheel. Then he ahd to come back and then damage control what he said. And then say dd1 is better he didn't say that the 7 days he used the csl dd.

[@AbideinChristFully]

Just to be fair, when he said "this is my wheel"...he meant it felt the same...not that he replaces it. I'm pumped though, mine is coming in november.

[@marcgloeckner1022]

Just got an e-mail by Fanatec: "Dear Customer, We have some great news! Your CSL DD pre-order is shipping soon, earlier than originally planned. You should see your tracking number in the ‘Orders’ section of your account once it is processed." I am hyped...🤩

[@Jardier]

Yesssss!!!!!!

[@wild_lee_coyote]

I think the reason why the 5NM felt empty in the middle is because of your settings. The dynamic range for the 8NM is higher so that the middle are was stronger even though you dialed it back a bit. If you played with the setting I bet you could get the 5NM to feel pretty close to the 8NM. It’s like listening to music at 6 and then turning it up to 11. The quieter sound level loses a little bit of nuance that you can hear when it is cranked up to 11.

[@ConanTheBavarian]

Get boost kit for christmas. Noted. Thanks Jards

[@fomami]

That rock song made me preorder this.

[@virtualawakening2299]

When I had a Thrustmaster T-150, I couldn't believe how fast you could take turns, because I'd skid off the track at those speeds. But once I got the CSL DD with 8nm boost, I could actually feel all the undulations in the road, and the FFB throwing the wheel back and forth somehow allows me to take turns faster! So in my case, upgrading the wheel made more difference in lap times than the CSL Elite V2 pedals I also got. Because the T-150 just has really weak and bad FFB.

[@bobk4438]

I'll have to stick with my Logitech kit. I'm the slowest driver on the track so I have plenty of room for improvement before I consider upgrading hardware. I like your enthusiasm.

[@Radvvan]

Lovely review Jardier, I love watching yours stuff - your exctiement about simracing in general is just awesome! I am also excited about the new base - it migth actually make me upgrade from my entry-level wheel. Could I please ask you for a favor, Jardier? My PC area is extremelly limited, so a major factor for me is size. Would you be able and kind enough to measure the length of the whole thing (whole base to the end of your Formula rim)? I found the dimensions of the base, but there is the "tube" the wheel is mounted to and the rim itself. I would love to know the real length of the whole thing, would be very helpful for me.

[@Jardier]

Thank you so much :) with the wheel but without power cable its 33cm length, with power cable if you need space add another 5cm

[@Radvvan]

@@Jardier Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question!

[@paulcook7843]

really good review. i have t150 wheel and i think the price of the DD looks good for the upgrade. i think i will only have the 5nm as i dont have a rig but would be better than my T150.

[@BCSimsport]

I just de-mounted my 150 after moving up to a 300.. that was a night and day difference.. if you go from the 150 to a CSL DD, you're going to have to change your pants. I hope you can make the upgrade soon!!

[@Yannick-TV]

Great video Jardier! I think I am going to get this one. Have a question about ACC though. Your graphics look so clean, can I find your settings somewhere? As mine looks pretty blurry

[@bigredracingteam9642]

By "empty," do you mean it has a center dead-zone, like the Logitech G-wheels have?

[@rafaeloioli8510]

Jardier! What setting did you use in settings? You say that you use 100% and 80%. But what others settings you like? Drift, damping… Thanks Jardier! Big Fan from Brazil! Thank you for what you do to virtual race!

[@AntonRacing]

Hello .. but what other differences compared to the "force" can bring the podium to the table ? im thinking about to buy csl or podium ...but im never a fan of strong ff . on the other side i would pay the extra euros to really get every detail , but if its just about the force i will be super happy with the booster kit and the csl ... any suggestions ?

[@seebarry4068]

It’s all well and good having 20nm, but what’s the point if you have to turn down the power of the 8nm? Do you ever play your dd1 on hulk mode?

[@Triss88]

i can give you a tip for installing quicker @Jardier, if you put the screws through the wholes first with the T-nut and leave them loose then slide the CSL DD on it would of been much easier for you :)

[@Jardier]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey :D

[@Guillermo.ML.]

Its worthy the CSL DD 👌

[@maxmoors]

damn it I need to buy one

[@DraughanTV]

Thanks for the detailed review and comparison. Simple question, why is the CSL DD so close to the CSW and not closer to the DD1, while you said yourself, it's your DD1 with a lower torque ?

[@iamzuesthisisthetruth8864]

I think it’s about the Sample group during Pre Production. 5-8 Probably felt best in testing!! Not to mention they will probably introduce a Mid/CSW DD at some point with 10-15 with optional Boost. Just a thoughtful but does make some sense. This is the CSL Line.

[@patrickwhite4449]

This has DEFINITELY reassured me that this will most likely be the last wheel base I ever buy!!.

[@GrizzlyDaddams]

Alternatively, it could turn you into an insatiable, slathering, beast, who craves more.😂

[@DiViNiTY1337]

Jardier - to get the maximum amount of detail and responsiveness you should always keep the wheel at 100% force feedback, and only adjust the gain in game. Loved the video otherwise as always!

[@Sweaty__Sheep]

I always find it hard to choose which to reduce. The wheel takes info from the game. So aren't you better having 100% of everything from the game and then fine tuning the settings on the wheel? As that means you're getting all the info and can then adjust as you like. If you reduce the game, you're taking away info from the wheel, no?

[@brutto7943]

What screws are needed? I have a GT Omega ART cockpit and getting a CSL DD. Do they come with the Fanatec or with the cockpit?

[@Jardier]

I think cockpit has them, Im using same screws for past like 4 years :D

[@hankbizzle5282]

Yeah no screws come with wheel. They may have come with your cockpit and if not they are readily available from any hardware store. Just check the sizes which will be in the instructions with the wheel.

[@iknowwazup]

Thanks man, good review! I have that little feeling of emptiness on my csl elite the first 10-15 degrees, it throws me off on turn in and recovering because it feels like almost no ffb or something, especially in ACC. It's not deadzone but it's hard to feel it bite, so I'm always steering too much. Maybe it's something in settings that I have wrong, I was thinking about upgrade to DD just so I could get rid of that, cause I really don't think it should be that way. I thought it was just because it was belt vs direct drive but I guess it could be the lack of NM and DD. I'll have to play around with settings again because I think I managed to get rid of it before but then it made the rest of FFB not feel good and/or I had to turn it up so high in order to feel that first 10 degrees that the rest of the FFB spectrum was just way too much and it was clipping all over the place.

[@Jardier]

yeah for sure !!!! Thats why I talked about it carefully cause Im sure its mostly settings and such :) cause FFB was otherwise incredible

Hey, nice review. I just got CSL dd 8nm and I am thrilled to finally join sim racing community :) Question, why do you have in FFB settings set everything to 0% except gain?

Dear Eric xxxxxxx, thank you for your order at Fanatec

[@Jardier]

😍😍😍

[@deineeltan]

@@Jardier With your reflink, of course : )

[@Nan0uk1]

It sounds like you have to fight your 8nm wheel in the beginning of testing. I never have to do that with mine. I knew that something was up. Is there any way to chewck how strong my wheel actually is now? I have the feeling that its not full 8nm

[@ohjonny95]

But that absolutely makes sense if you say you're using 35% force feedback on your DD1, you are using a little bit more than a third of the power, which then is 7nm of torque. The CSL DD with Boost Kit on 80% FF however produces 6,4 Nm of torque, which is similar enough to make it feel "the same"

[@Jardier]

totally :)

[@523motorsports]

I love the review thank you. I currently have a thrustmaster t150 and I want to upgrade to a direct drive wheel. Will getting a dd1/dd2 or other higher end wheels get you faster lap times? Assuming you have the skill.

[@mrmidnight32]

No, the only thing getting a better FFB wheel with cleaner outputs will get you is consistency. Times will remain the same, but those random laps where you spin cause you didn’t feel or see anything different you just washed out. That’s where it will help, these will give you more FFB input to detect that more or sooner than with low end wheels that don’t communicate that to you before it’s too late. So faster lap times? No. More consistent and more fast laps. Yes.

[@ValdiValdies]

well... If you use 20nm DD1 on 33% it's ~7nm.. so it makes sense that CSL DD 5-8nm feels the same

[@mesterorange8181]

Hello, fellow jardiers

[@Jardier]

No idea :(

Hi Jaroslav. I’m playing on thrustmaster tmx and I want to update but I can’t because I don’t have money for it. Even csl dd for me is too much, which wheel I must buy in that case? I think that I’m pretty fast even when I’m on tmx. My mount panorama time is 2.00.7 but I want to improve. Can you give me some tips for updating?

[@matissc1024]

I really wonder is it really worth to upgrade to this with 8nm from csl Elite.. its still quite a lot of money and i dont know if i will feel that much difference

[@Jardier]

If you doubt dont do it and save even more and get dd1 :)

Hi where do u think the t248 come in ur upgrade path

[@gt_mugelina1033]

The Boostpack is a Little expensive, it is just a more powerful poweradapter! But I can’t wait until the PlayStation Version comes out! Thanks for the review!👍

Love the video Jadier and review. Would love to buy but its not compatible with PlayStation? Please Fanatec possible release a PlayStation version? As I cant afford a DD1.

Ordered mine and I'm looking forward to receive it. I purchased it with the regular 5nm. Will I notice a lot of difference between the 5nm and my current TS-PC? I mean if they are similar in terms of force I may keep the 5nm, as I feel the TS-PC is ok for me (I'm a little old).

It will be a world of difference since the CSL DD is a servo motor. Fanatec effectively killed the market for every thrustermaster wheel base that is above the T300/TX range.

The Csl dd is so good it make Jardier swear
