The new wheel-base is awesome. As Project Cars was announced I hope to get a fantastic whell for my PS4. I never will buy Thrustmaster or other crap. I only want to play with the best setup. Absolutly fantastic work from you guys!!!!
Well, i never had any Fanatec-Products, but i´m looking forward. If i have the money, i just wanna test and drive with the Fanatec. I wanna know, how realistic the fanatecs are.
But the price are not possible to make for me. Just think about it, with 3000-4000€ you can have a real racing kart..

I use your wheel on my personal rig (One of the first batches, Ive had it since reparied under warranty) and all my customers rigs have the CSW. I love it and cannot wait to see how youve improved upon it! I hope to be chosen for the test group!
Time to upgrade my Porsche 911 GT2. Have not jumped on the next gen console bandwagon yet, mainly b/c I don't wanna waste my investment of my fanatec hardware ( wheel, clubsport pedals, plastic shifters ) About to pull the trigger on the handbrake and clubsport shifter when it is finally released here in the US. Also like the new universal hub... I better start saving now! ;-)
Ok, guys you got me. Looking forward to testing the V2 base with all the great simulators coming up later this year. Most looking forward to the announced PS4 compability.
Unfortunately, I don't see any chance to buy one this year!
First of all I want to thank you for updating the CSW v1 Software/firmware and tackling the chatter that was near center on some CSW v1 wheels (mine), it was driving me nuts. I was one of those that keep complaining about it (it was quite bad) when some of "the self appointed experts" on some of the forums said to simply ignore it. Excellent job in minimizing it!
From the specs on the v2 it looks like you have tried your best to make major improvements and more importantly increase the longevity the unit.
Hall Sensors (I was making HS upgrade kits for a well known HOTAS, now quite a few use Hall Sensors)
Brushless Servo Motor (hopefully this will be much more reliable)
More and bigger ball bearings, excellent.
More reasonable price than the pure brushless direct drive wheesl being developed at this time.
Those are the highlights for me, looking forward to the v2 release!
I like the fact that it will have more power, which might come in handy with the heavier wheels, so that the weight won't have such an effect. This makes the choosing of the wheel a bit easier for me.
The graphs on the first page of this blog make really interesting reading. I'm surprised how important console support is and its fairly equally split between XB1 and PS4 when you look at the results as a whole.
CSR user here, hope to take a big step into new Clubsport base. Be ready to box for me: V2, CSW pedals, Porsche + Formula Carbon maybe some GT class?, handbreak, shifter.
Hard to prioritize only three amongst the various features that are of significance to a competent wheel. Quality construction and durability are mandatory, while increased maximum deliverable torque should allow for, not only quicker counter steer, but also greater nuance, precision, and detail in the more delicate and subtle force feedback effects. All features, in terms of robustness of the hardware, should be pretty interlinked - you improve on the whole package, not one in isolation.
That leaves only the question of compatibility. Obviously, PC compatibility is not in question and the PS4 ecosystem seems much more receptive to support than the Xbox One platform, where compatibility is most tentative. Hence, Xbox One compatibility should naturally see a boost in the communities' anticipation and hope for future support, even though I'm sure most are looking forward to see full compatibility across all platforms.
I'm certainly looking forward to purchasing a quality wheel that works everywhere with all the features that we've come to expect and yet, at least with such statements as: "We had to develop entire new electronics for that motor as the motor driver is quite complex. Now that it is done we can easily use it for smaller brushless motors or a direct drive wheel. " one can't help but now wonder whether Fanatec will come out with an actual direct drive wheel in the near future. Fingers crossed.

Great bit of market research
