I love this wheel. The only complaint I have is the buttons do rattle a bit when using certain FFB levels. I ask my distributor about this and he confirmed his in-store model did the same, so it wasn't just my wheel being faulty.

Nice Review, thank you for the Video. I'm considering an Update from My T300rs and current ly not sure which way to go. Moza or Simmsgic or staying at Thrustmaster moving up to the T818. But for all bases this wheel looks like a great addition .
@Yorkie0656 ай бұрын
I'd certainly consider moving on from Thrustmaster. You get so much more for your money with Moza or Simagic, with additional features and a more open-ended system to allow for different wheels and bases. Only question which I can't answer is Moza or Simagic. Both have their pro's and con's, with their efforts spent in different places. Would like to test more of simagics stuff to do a bit more of a comparison.

Hint: You don't necessarily have to buy the MagLink addon in order to connect your GT Neo to your PC, as you can use the existing USB-C port for that. Of course you need to consider whether that makes sense respectively puts to much strain on the port. I 3D printed my own USB passthrough for my Q1R style quick release, so I'm running only a short cable from the GT Neo to that connector.
@Yorkie0656 ай бұрын
Interesting. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable running the USB-C cable straight into the back as the GT Neo comes, especially on DD Wheels with higher torque forces. With the maglink, you've got the cable that stretches very nicely but also has a very strong magnet (which I forgot to mention) that holds the cable attached without the risk of damaging any ports.
@andreasotto19776 ай бұрын
@@Yorkie065 that's why I wrote "Of course you need to consider whether that makes sense respectively puts to much strain on the port." In my case, I just have a short USB-C cable running from the wheel to my QR, which passes the signal to the base side, which again is connected to the PC via a coiled cable. I'd never use that fragile USB-C port for a direct connection to the PC. 🙂 It's just that many reviews suggest you need the MagLink in general for a USB connection, and I wanted to point out that's not the case.

I was just browsing eBay and I couldn't help but notice how manyy people are trying to sell the GT Neo for 4 $440-450. It's like they have no clue that the wheel is in stock at Simagic retailers and available for $289 shipped! So disgusting to see people trying to pull this lazy hustle

Hi, does the quick release have any play or does it fit solidly on the moza base? I have a moza R9 and would like to try this wheel Edit: Got the wheel, Quick release fits good in the moza and doesn't have any kind of play. Only thing is the quick release won't close all the way to the end but I don't think that's a problem as the wheel remains in place perfectly

Definitely better quality (of course, more expensive, but still definitely better) than the wheel mod Es Wheel. Buttons feel pretty good and I really like the shifters even though they could be a tiny little more crisp but they're very good and quiet. So not a bad choice at all and I love it. Also ended up ordering the alpha mini, should arrive in a few days xD.

You'll need the Maglink kit for it to work on the Simucube 2 Pro base. With the Maglink is a couple of adapters. You'll need to take the existing quick release off the GT Neo and attach the Simucube quick release to one of the adapters and attach that back onto the wheel. Plug it in via USB and you're good to go.
