Review for the PXN V9 Gen2 900 Gaming Racing Wheel

As youngsters, we find the world around us interesting. Objects appear massive in comparison to us, cars accelerate, and frightening things are actually rather harmless. When you chat to youngsters, they usually have an interest in automobiles, dolls, firearms, swords, and even food. Some of these fascinations persist as we get older, shaping who we become as adults. However, there is a distinction between making a pastime or passion into a vocation.

With dedication and practice, practically anyone can achieve their goals with hard work and luck. Jann Mardenborough is the clearest example of this, having used a racing setup to become a professional race car driver. He was the racer who inspired the Gran Turismo film and used a racing kit to train and become a competitive champion. If you want to become a competitive driver, purchasing a racing gear may be an excellent choice.

We spent the last week testing one of PXN’s latest racing wheel sets. Here are our impressions on the PXN V9 Gen2 900 Gaming Racing Wheel kit, as well as the pricing to purchase it.

Before we go into the specifications of the PXN V9 Gen2 900 Gaming Racing Wheel, let us discuss our experience with the kit. We decided to test the PXN V9 Gen2 900 Gaming Racing Wheel kit on an Xbox Series X and a gaming PC. First up was the Xbox Series X.

When you play on an Xbox Series X, you typically have more space to work with and can put up all of the components of a racing kit. Because of this, we attempted to test solely the racing wheel.

When we set up solely the racing wheel on the Xbox, we expected to be able to remap the steering wheel functions using either the Racing wheel controller or the game settings. Neither of these notions proved to be accurate, resulting in an unpleasant and uncomfortable racing experience.

To utilize the racing wheel, we had to connect in our Xbox controller, even though it was plugged directly into the Xbox. Even with the controller hooked in, we were forced to utilize unusual buttons on the racing wheel to operate the gas and brakes. Although you may play without using the foot pedals, the hand controls are cumbersome and uncomfortable.

Because the racing wheel was uncomfortable to use on the Xbox Series X, we decided to take it to our desk and test it on a PC. Setting up the shifter, foot pedals, and racing wheel on the desk was quite simple.

If you’re racing with an automatic, you don’t need to utilize the gear shifter; it’s all up to personal preference. The only drawback was that we still needed to connect in an Xbox Controller when utilizing the wheel. With everything set up on the desk, it was time to test out some more racing games.

For the PC test of the PXN V9 Gen2 900 Gaming Racing Wheel, we chose to play Blur, Need for Speed Carbon, and The Crew Motorfest. We were able to somewhat tweak the controls in The Crew to make things easier, but not in the previous games. When racing, the 270° rotation was easier to employ than the 900° rotation.

On the second day of trying to utilize the wheel, we ran across an annoying problem. For whatever reason, when the wheel was in 270° mode, it forced us hard left or hard right, and you had to drive against it to stay straight.

Furthermore, the wheel would lock in unexpected ways, making it difficult to compensate. To resolve this issue, we had to disconnect all wires, delete the driver, then rejoin them.

As a lover of racing games but not a die-hard racing fanatic, utilizing the racing kit felt like more work and took up far more room than a controller. It may be a nice attachment for those who want to feel like they are in the driver’s seat racing against others, but it is not worth purchasing for the casual player.

Without a mounting device to suspend it, the wheel cannot be adjusted, forcing you to drive awkwardly. The Pedals, while being bottomed, did not always register as totally compressed. The Racing Wheel’s lights will indicate if the kit is registering an input, however something appears to be incorrect.

The PXN V9 Gen2 900 Gaming Racing Wheel is a good option for individuals who want to feel like they’re behind the wheel, but it has several limitations.

For $189, it’s not a bad item, and it may be an interesting method to teach someone how to drive before they even get behind the wheel. It might be an excellent gift for a racing enthusiast, but you must have the space and ability to properly set it up before you can enjoy it.
