Forza Motorsport CSR Elite Wheel

The most hardcore Fanatec wheel on sale. With a newly designed aluminum base, this wheel is not only aiming to be the best Xbox 360 wheel, but to be the best mass production wheel on the market. To achieve that, people at Fanatec spent a lot of time developing the new base, making sure this product is as good as possible.

Heavy use of metal makes it very strong and durable, while lots of ball bearings and smooth instead of toothed belts provide extreme smoothness. Instead of one, this wheel uses two Mabuchi 550 series motors for faster, sharper and stronger force feedback effects. Together they consume up to 120W of power and are cooled by a big and silent 80mm fan. CSR Elite also has two smaller vibration motors embedded in its rim's hub for rumble effects on Xbox 360 or ABS and motor vibration simulation on Playstation 3 and PC.

Thanks to DirectSensor™ technology, wheel's latency has decreased and both steering accuracy and force feedback fidelity are significantly better. DirectSensor™ means that instead of using an optical sensor mounted to the force feedback motor, here it is mounted directly to the steering axis, preventing any slack or flex in the force feedback delivery mechanism from affecting accuracy. Sensor is completely separated from the force feedback mechanism.

300mm wheel rim features Alcantara inserts 9 and 3 o'clock positions and black, matte finish all the way around, while the aluminum center plate is covered with a layer of real carbon fiber.

All wheel's settings can be adjusted directly on the wheel's 3-digit LED display with the four-way joystick on the left side of the rim. This means you get the same adjustability on consoles as you do on PC. All together there are fifteen buttons on the front of the rim and there are also two big, high quality, metal paddle shifters on the rear for precise and enjoyable shifting.
