Subsonic Racing SV450 Gaming Steering Wheel Switch 2, PS4, Xbox & PC – 180°

Fantastic Value with Some Small Drawbacks – Perfect for Casual Racing Fans!I was on the hunt for an affordable racing wheel compatible with my Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch, and the Subsonic Superdrive SV450 turned out to be an excellent choice! For a budget-friendly price, it brings a lot to the table and has really added to my gaming experience in ways I didn’t expect. Here’s my breakdown:Pros:1. Great Feel & Immersion: The SV450 may not have the advanced force feedback of pricier models, but it does a fantastic job creating an immersive experience. The vibration feedback is surprisingly effective and makes racing games feel far more engaging than a standard controller would.2. Easy Setup Across Consoles: I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get this up and running on both my Xbox and Switch. It’s a plug-and-play device, so I didn’t have to waste time with complex settings.3. Realistic Steering & Shifting: The wheel itself has a nice grip, and the paddle shifters have a solid, satisfying click. It definitely brings a sense of realism to games, and I love the responsiveness. Although it’s not built for professional-level sensitivity, it’s perfect for the casual to semi-serious racer.4. Solid Pedals for the Price Point: The pedals, though basic, respond well and give just enough resistance to make braking and accelerating feel natural. They’re a bit light and sometimes slide on hard surfaces, but a non-slip mat fixed that quickly.5. Affordable Entry-Level Option: If you’re not ready to splurge on high-end gear but still want a racing wheel that enhances gameplay, this one is hard to beat for the cost.Cons:1. Limited Wheel Rotation: The SV450 has a 270-degree rotation instead of the full 900 degrees seen in premium models. For games that need precise control, like rally or sim racing, it takes some adjusting to get the right feel. It’s not a deal-breaker for me, but hardcore racing fans may notice the limitation.2. Pedals Lack Heaviness: The pedals, while functional, could definitely benefit from more weight or resistance. They’re not flimsy, but sometimes they can feel a little too light, especially if you’re accustomed to pedals with more realistic feedback.3. Mounting Stability: The wheel clamps work, but if you’re the type who makes quick, sharp turns, you might notice a bit of movement. A more secure mounting option would have been great, though it’s not a huge problem unless you’re really pushing the wheel to its limits.Final Verdict:The Subsonic Superdrive SV450 is a great entry-level racing wheel for anyone looking to up their gaming experience without spending a fortune. While it has a few minor issues—like limited rotation and slightly lightweight pedals—it still delivers a high level of enjoyment for casual racing fans. For the price, you’re getting a quality product with easy setup and cross-console compatibility.If you’re looking for ultra-realism or professional racing gear, you might want to consider a higher-end model, but for the average gamer or even intermediate racing enthusiast, the SV450 is an absolute winner. It’s brought so much fun to my gaming sessions, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to add some excitement to their racing games.

For the price it's actually pretty decent, However, If you plan on buying this for high intense racing games look elsewhere, The reason being the suction cups on the base of the steering wheel are nothing short of rubbish, The only thing I have found they actually stick to is glass and like most people I don't have a glass desk I have one made of wood, or MDF not really sure either way the suction cups do not stick to it, So if like most people you have a wooden desk and want this steering wheel for high intensity racing games where you will be taking corners quickly etc This is NOT the steering wheel for you, you need one that can be clamped to the desk. Which brings me to the next point this steering wheel does not come with clamps, nor is there any logical way to attach clamps to stop the steering wheel from moving while in use, If you have a glass desk then this wouldn't be a problem as I stuck the steering wheel to my glass coffee table and it held extremely well but on my computer desk it is completely useless.You may be wondering why at the start of this review I said " For the price it's pretty decent" the reason for that is because I do not intend to use it for high intensity racing games and only for euro truck simulator where you take corners at a much slower pace and I have found during use you can sort of pin it in place while making turns using it's own weight, It's not ideal but it works so for me and it serves it's intended purpose, However clamps would have been the logical option for this steering wheel and I don't really understand what the designers were thinking by not including that as standard, Maybe they had glass desks, who knows. The pedals work great and are really responsive they look cheap and tacky out of the box but they are actually quite good.

In general it's a pretty good responsive steering wheel easy set up small wheel but leather for grip the 180° rotation is good for racing games but not so good for drifting no force feed back but the suction cups are rubbish would recommend using some thing to hold it down but it's ideal for people getting into sim racing with out paying much or would rather have a change and not use a controller but for the price it's not bad

I bought this to try out on the Xbox console, I really enjoyed using it to practice steering, turning and drifting for entertainment purposes and this product didn’t disappoint!Easy to connect with very instructive manuals, I would just point out with the cable management as they do get tangled a little so just keep the wheel placed on a table that’s not placed in the middle so ideally a gaming desk!Other than that, very simple and effective product for the right reasons! 5⭐️

Not a great product, doesn’t have the right Microsoft chip and so needs connecting through a controller now after 2 months of light use it will no longer connect to the Xbox.. so have purchased a more expensive wheel, false economy, just buy a wheel that has a built in Microsoft chip and save time hassle and effort.

Initially worked well. Plugged into computer and off you go. However, there have been 3 occasions where the wheel just stops working and we can't figure out why. It doesn't get used for a day or so and then works again. It's annoying that this can happen mid game. It's working and then it stops. I have tried reading the manual for trouble shooting, changing settings on the game - we haven't found a solution. If it worked all the time it would be a great budget wheel for a newbie or younger gamer.

The pedals seem a little flimsy but are alright. For the price it feels about right, was bought for a linux pc running ubuntu and it worked out of the box running with games on Steam.Haven't had any issues.

My Grandkid loved this item, so can only reccomend that he likes it.

Funciona bien, el problema es los pedales se mueven mucho falta poderlos fijar al piso.

Molto buono

Keeps turning off every 30 seconds

J’ai bien

Acquistato come regalo di natale per mio figlio che lo ha apprezzato tantissimo. Compatibile con diversi giochi per Nintendo Switch tipo: Gear Club, WRally4, Asphalt 9, Hot Wheels... il volante non è grandissimo ma è comunque maneggevole. I pedali sono funzionanti considerando che, nel volante, c'è già la leva per accelerare manualmente.Sotto il volante ci sono delle ventose che lo mantengono ben saldo sul tavolino dove è stato installato. I pedali non hanno ventose ma se poggiati su di un tappeto, rimangono stabili. Per l'uso che ne fa mio figlio, posso dire che è perfetto. Buono quindi il rapporto qualità prezzo
