List of the best Fanatec On PS4
1 CSL Elite Racing Wheel – officially licensed for PS4 – $499.95
The first one, with a smaller F1-style wheel which means a smaller, rectangular design, a price of $569.95 the CSL Elite Racing Wheel is quite a great deal, if you´re looking for a racing wheel that doesn’t cost you that much, but at the same time offers good quality and a deluxe feel. With a quiet belt drive you´re gonna get obsessed because all your concentration is going to go to the game, solid table clamp and compact design of the base (very strong and realistic), excellent force feedback and very easy to set up; If you ask me is a good investment.
