This is THE only review of the Neo X hub that i was waiting for. Let's go !

[CaptainCrunch]

Nice breakdown, that’s what we needed to see, the inside guts. Thank you, great work!

Amazing review as usual my man, very detailed, production quality on point, pack full of info, looking forward to seeing more of them in the future.

Ps: You might want to set some extra sound absorptions pads here and there, around the 11:55-12:05 you can hear some voice echo once in a while, nothing major, but somewhat noticeable.

Here for the quality reviews. Great insights and detail.

I really wish Moza makes RS Wheel open an ecosystem as well. I am kind of excited about FSR 2.

I like the concept that they are offering flexible products at obtainable pricing. That being said by the time everything adds up I am not sure that other complete solutions are just as reasonable. It does open up options for specific use or custom wheels. I would like to see the offer some quality lower priced H pattern shifters and hand brakes. Thanks for sharing your views on this.

Great review buddy! Love your simagic reviews!, I saw that on the PCB when i had a look and laughed too, a referenced to Will Buxton in F1 Drive to survive with his stupid comments lol "To finish first, you must first finish" hahahaha

[visorcover]

Great review. Ordered mine this morning.

Finally! Sim Racing content from/in India.

Please simagic come out with some higher end flagship level products again lol.

This is still awesome though!

I also really hope they stop going to this more child like look. I want and love there industrial clean stylish look.

I have a gt neo and simagic alpha. I'm in the market for a round wheel, should I get the neo x + 330rim or get the simagic GT-pro wheel. They are roughly the same cost. The gt-pro wheel is 50 dollars more. I was going to get thee neo x + 2 maglinks (1 for my gt neo because I didn't realize what it was). But if there is something else worth exploring or the Gt pro is worth the extra, please lmk.

On a side note, with my gt neo sometimes it feels like loose inside, and it might creak, but I have a headset oon. Is there a chance it came from the factory loose? It could be the ffb but it doesn't feel like that. idk. It feels like on the inside of the QR, or something like a quarter inch. Is this ffb or a loose unit?

i'm having trouble debating the Neo X and their GT Pro Hub (K) with the joysticks. I already have the GT Neo but if i'm looking at the prices, i'd assume the GT Pro would have better quality/construction. After watching this, I can't decide to buy which haha. I drive in VR so I won't even be looking at the LED's, I would care more about the feel and quality. But then again, it seems like the Neo X is more up to date with their tech compared to the GT Pro Hub in terms of SimHub. GT1 Hub is out of date and the GTS can't swap wheels, I have a Momo Steering wheel I want to attach on these hubs.

Which would you prefer over those two in your opinion?
