Hi. I'm thinking about buying a budget steering wheel for my PC. I don't intend to use it with any serious sims. Just hoping to get a little bit of edge in arcade games.
I am seriously considering buying the Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience. I know there's only so much I can expect from a product of this price, so I don't worry so much about build quality etc. What worries me the most is the dead zone.
My cousin got a budget Apollo steering wheel once. It had an absolutely massive dead zone. Like literally 20 degrees or more each way of absolutely nothing. This, in my view, renders a steering wheel useless.
So, since the Thrustmaster is also a cheap one, I'm worried it might be similar in that respect. Of course, I watched some reviews of this thing on Youtube. But, none of the "reviewers" cared to mention anything about a dead zone. I would rather not assume that's just because there isn't one.
Has anybody actually come in contact with this steering wheel? Does it have a dead zone either on the wheel itself or on the pedals? Is it worth the money?
