I made a mistake when I said the GT Neos backplate is made of plastic. It’s wrinkle finished metal

[reviewforthetube]

Fx and fx pro are def better. You can feel the corners cut but its a great wheel for the PRICE. i want people to undrrstand this due to other youtubers minds being blown its because of the price it is not a flagship wheel the grips are hard, the plastic is chraper plastic compared to the fx and fx pro. The paddles are downgraded. The rotaries are downgraded and its just a downgraded wheel. I love my gt neo but i believe peopel have gotten to out of hand and setting way to high expectations. When i got it I expected this flagship feleing wheel due to how cfazy reactions are haha. Now you have people out here who dont have the fx or fx pro saying oh gt neo is better oh it feels as quality etc and they are just full of it.

The gt neo is the best budget wheel on the market but yes still had corners cut for sure.

I also believe people get new things and they get carried away with there opinions and go arouns screaming the best thing ever omg best wheel ever made best base ever made etc.

Same goes with the fsr moza owners out here trying to act like the fsr is as good as the fx pro they feel like two different worlds when in the hand. The fx pro feels way more quality with real cf. With much better condtruction overall.

So just some examples i wish more would return to earth and stop being so bias.

You were absolutely spot on. Thank you for being honest. You pointed out things no reviews do. They are over selling the wheel. People really think this wheel is the same as a cueb controls f-core in quality and its just not true.

Fx pro now is def at that level.

This was an absolutely amazing comparison. Well done!

So update guys! Every simagic wheel now comes with the new qr. Even my fx pro came with it. For me and newer buyers makes it easy dont have to calibrate it each time or center it I mean. Love the fx pro now want the fx to replace my gt neo tbh.

I won both and the gt4 wheel! They are all very nice wheels! Thinking of selling my gt4 for other sim upgrades!

Oh man, im honestly conflicted.
I have the FX Pro and I kinda wanna just have the GT neo, I use lovely dashboard overlay on screen, so currently have my wheel dash and rpms turned off.
The GT Neo just seems to look more comfortable and for some reason, two funky switches is appealing.
Do wish you could add another set of paddles to the rear.
Great review!

I recently got the neo for my Simucube base. Mag link is awesome and I’m looking forward to more wheels.

[PhilThompson-ucrt]

Such an important comparison. Thank you.

[luizschirmer]

Absolutely amazing analysis bro, thank you so much for this video!

[Zombiefruit]

Hey, great video and thanks for the recommendation on Reddit. Stupid account got banned again so couldn't say thank you there, but cheers. Ordered with the maglink a few hours ago, can't wait to get my hands on it

they add rubber in gtneo shifter to reduce the sound, that is why feel softer

[GianCardoso]

Great video, i don't even have a simagic, but was interesting to watch haha

[PunkPandaMunk]

Excellent analysis and a very thoughtful review: liked and subscribed

[bobboberton]

Nice video. My quick release looks more like the one you replaced it with. Contained the extra pins, etc.

[nicko]

Nice review! Correction though, you said the backplate is made of plastic. It’s definitely metal most likely aluminium.

[ElchacalRYTB]

Great, my choose go for GT NEO and he arrived 👌

[catnipherb]

Nice comparison. I don't own any Simagic wheel. Just a Fanatec Esport Formula wheel. I mostly play ACC with it and very happy doing so despite not owning a GT3 specific wheel. If I buy a Simagic wheelbase along with the FX wheel, do you think it is detrimental or incorrect to play ACC with formula one wheels?

[RBZENKI]

Size comparison between the two? I know the neo is 300mm and the fx is 290mm. Does the fx feel small in your hands or can you not tell a difference that much?

[bryns]

Gt4 doesn’t have the same features that gt Neo or the fx has.
It doesn’t have thumb encoders, no led rev lights, no sim hub support/ mag link, no rotary. The gt4 has a lot of features missing.

Forget the price difference between them. Which one would you buy thinking on long term usability?
