Turtle Beach -arguably best known for their Gaming Headsets- has announced 3 new Racing products including an entry-level Wireless Racing Wheel/Wheelbase, a Formula Wheel and a Direct Drive wheelbase + Pedal set.
These compliment some of their existing products such as the all-singing-all-dancing VelocityOne Multi-Shift which offered a nod to Truck Sims with a 7-speed Gearbox including a High/Low Range setting allowing upto 14 gears ; short and long-throw shafts and 2 shift knobs.
But first, the elephant in the room : none of the Turtle Beach products here offer PlayStation compatibility. All are PC and Xbox compatible, with the Wireless Racing Wheel offering Android connectivity via Bluetooth 4.2 onwards.
Let's take a look at the 3 products from lowest price upwards :
Turtle Beach Racer Wireless Racing Wheel
USD $179.99 - EUR €149.99 - GBP £139.99
A FULLY wireless Wheelbase with a promised 30-hour battery life, 360° rotation and a non-removable Wheel. Force feedback is not mentioned in the product information.
Compatibility : PC, Xbox, Android 8 + BT 4.2 onwards
VelocityOne F-RX Formula Wheel
USD $249.99 - EUR €199.99 - GBP £189.99
A screen-less Wheel Rim ideally suited for GT and Single-Seater uses, the F-RX has 10 buttons, 5 rotary dials, 2 tunable Clutch paddles, 2 magnetic Gear shift paddles and a 10-stage RPM LED strip.
The F-RX is compatible with the 2 VelocityOne wheelbases (the KD3 detailed below and the Race Wheel & Pedal System not detailed in this article).
Compatibility : PC, Xbox
VelocityOne™ Race KD3 Racing Wheel & Pedals
USD $449.99 - EUR €349.99 - GBP £329.99
The KD3 offers a Direct-drive base with 3.2Nm force, a nearly-round Wheel with magnetic paddle shifters (note no clutch paddles), table clamp and a dual-pedal pedal set.
Note the separate VelocityOne Race Wheel & Pedal System includes a 3-Pedal load-cell pedal set.
Compatibility : PC, Xbox
It's great to see yet more Sim Racing products on the market - always a healthy sign! SIRA will be curious how well these are received following the less-than-positive reception of Turtle Beaches' previous VelocityOne™ Race Wheel & Pedal System product.
