What's The Best First Sim Racing Wheel?

What is the best type of steering wheel when getting started in sim racing?

Well, that's a tricky question because frankly, there are so many different sim racing scenarios. 

Budget, cars you want to drive, and space are only 3 of the many factors to think about in your own sim racing experience. 

However, everyone can agree when it comes to the first steering wheel, at least for most people, they want a versatile steering wheel. A wheel that they can drive many different cars with. 

Now, I don't say this in the sense of, "Oh, you want a versatile wheel because you won't like sim racing...."

If you like cars and either put in the research to create a good sim racing experience yourself or purchase a turnkey sim, you will LOVE sim racing. 
You want your first wheel to be versatile so you can fully comprehend A) what cars you enjoy driving the most and B) what sim racing wheel company you want to go with. 

That's where the Simagic GTS wheel comes in. The wheel belongs within the Simagic ecosystem, but with a simple quick-release swap/adapter and a USB cord, you can easily swap it onto another wheelbase. 

To be swift with the technicalities (feel free to fully read it on our product listening below), the Simagic GTS is a 300-millimeter wheel with 7 RGB buttons, 2 rotaries encoders, and switches, an RGB RPM light, is constructed out of aluminum, and has 2 flappy paddle shifters. And with a price tag of $289, it's impressive. 

The Simagic GTS isn't flashy or anything super special. It's not made entirely out of carbon fiber, modeled after a car brand's steering wheel, or even has a screen. 

It's bare bones. I mean, shoot, 7 buttons is low for a sim racing wheel. Some wheels can have double that or even more. 

So what IS so good about the GTS?

It's a necessity. 

It does everything you want from a sim racing wheel: nothing more, nothing less. It gets everything done and straight to the point. It's non-offensive and is great. 

After using this wheel for well over 50 hours and hundreds of people of all different shapes and sizes have used this wheel, it has not skipped a beat. 

So, if you want a versatile wheel that isn't ugly, and doesn't break the bank when starting off in sim racing...

The Simagic GTS Steering Wheel is for you.
