Best Fanatec Racing Wheels For Xbox One.
If you think twice, All Fanatec Racing Wheel compatible with PC should be compatible with Xbox One right? Well, that is not the truth, Fanatec product are mainly produce for computers enthusiastic, All Fanatec Racing Wheels are compatible with PC but can’t say the same for Xbox One and PS4.
You need to be sure wich Wheels are compatible with your console and which are not. The last thing you need is getting a setup not working very well on your console and in best cases losing primary functionalities like FFB responses or not be able to adjust telemetry data in the right way.
This time we are going to point the best choices for Beginners, Intermediate and advances user in the Sim Racing game, you will able to pick your best product base on your level.

Review: ClubSport Racing Wheel V2.5 BMW GT2 USA
This steering wheel is the exact replica of the one used in BMW touring cars (even the materials are the same), with a realistic diameter of 320 mm allows precise movements and smooth driving, it’s officially licensed by BMW, 11 Buttons plus two paddle shifter buttons with ultra-reliable switches an analog joystick to look around and a 7 way Encoder switch to change settings: Turn left; turn right; move left, right, up and down or push.
If your dream car is a BMW M3 GT2, this one´s for you, the feedback that you get in-game is amazing, the wheel feels like it came right out of a real car, and there’s plenty of buttons for you to map, If you are not an expert and don’t want to immerse yourself in the world of direct drive, go for it.

Review: ClubSport Racing Wheel V2.5 GT Forza Motorsport
Ok this is serious, if you want this, you are a true king (a rich true king), the Forza Motorsport it’s as close as you can get to direct drive wheels, with 1,080 degrees of rotation, a brushless servo motor which provides an incredibly Force feedback and extremely quick acceleration, the belt drive utilizes dual belts with multiple v-ribs and big ball bearings so this means no drag and no belt slippage.
The wheel is one of the best in the market with a diameter of 33 cm and the rim constructed with anodized aluminum covered with leather (I have to continue or did you buy it already?) detachable button caps with Xbox One symbols, 16 integrated buttons on top of the hub, 4 button boxes with 3 buttons each and a FunkySwitch with 4-way direction pad, 2-way turning function and push-button. Excellent build quality, high-end materials, and almost feels like the real thing, so, have you decided?

Wrapping Up
The last thing I want is to confuse you, lest try to explain this in plain English, For example, if you are an owner of one ClubSport Base like the V2.5 if you attach an Xbox One Steering Wheel compatible with Xbox One, then your setup will be Base compatible to Xbox One®.
From factory default, the only Racing Wheel with fully compatible with Xbox One is the ClubSport Racing Wheel V2.5 GT Forza Motorsport for Xbox One USA, the other ones need to be attached with an Xbox One Steering Wheel to be an Xbox One ready.
I’m glad you ask, but If you are planning to buy one racing wheel for your Microsoft Console then Forza Motorsport is a nice spot, not that expensive and fully compatible with your Xbox Console. If you get sick of the wheel shape you can always buy one of the many alternatives you have in the Fanatec Ecosystem to replace it.
