This is purely hypothetical right now, but it's months out (well after Christmas.) I'm considering picking up a cheap steering wheel one of these days for PC to play a few VR driving games. American/European Truck Simulator come to mind, as would a few other titles. Although I can't say I won't ever play a racing game, serious racing simulators are definitely not on my list. It's just that I've found getting to drive in locations and/or ways that I don't get to in real life to be surprisingly fun in VR. But using an XBox controller detracts from that fun quite a bit.
What's a good, reliable, but affordable entry-level wheel? I tried to do some searching, but all I was finding were the "ten best" lists that have wheels that cost hundreds.
I already have a set of rudder pedals that I could use for gas/brake pedals, even if they're not ideal for that.

Re: Entry level steering wheel?
I have a t150 with the pedals that's sitting around doing nothing at my house. I'd sell it pretty darn cheap if you are interested. I keep on meaning to sell it at some point as I know I'll never use it.
It's this one... Those pedals too...

He is sorry. I have to dig it out this weekend and figure out when I can mail it to him.

Damn, I didn't see the comment or I'd have replied sooner. Yes, I'll be set up soon, and thank you again.

I'm not known for my mastering of the English language. It looks like I threw out the original box and it's kind of crammed into my Fanatec box. So I'm going to have to grab another box methinks. Not a big deal, but the last thing I want to do is have it get smashed in shipping.

Ah, dammit. There goes the collector's value! With my limited space, all boxes vanish as soon as they're unpacked. Whatever and whenever works for you is fine!
