Fantastic steering wheel, the same size as the regular steering wheel of modern f1 cars. Excellent quality with its buttons and settings will make you feel like an F1 driver. The feeling it gives you is incredible. Surely whoever has it will be faster than before. Also your aftersales are fantastic. Carlo has the solution for everything… Great job Esportsim

Great wheel with a great feel to it, the placement of all the buttons and paddles are perfect, Most wheels have a weakness to them in different areas but this wheel doesn’t have any anywhere
Markus Duregger (verified owner) –
When I get into my playseat and activate the steering wheel, I think I’m in a real racing car. The workmanship of the steering wheel is unique, with so much attention to detail and the workmanship makes you believe it comes straight from a factory of a Formula 1 team. Esportsim has the best after-sale support imaginable. If a problem or a question arises, it will be resolved or your question answered within a very short time.

Awesome !!
A very high quality and beautiful steering wheel, with lots of functionnalities and customization.
The pro module takes the steering wheel to another level of customization.
For me, it is far away than the other brands we can find on the market.

The steering wheel arrived after 5-6 weeks, but it was worth the wait. I have only tested F1 2021 with it, but all buttons work and the Advance Paddle Module does what it should.
The grind and the design of the steering wheel are simply unique! I do not regret this purchase at all and can highly recommend it to anyone who has been in this e-sport for some time!
Esportsim, you have done a wonderful job!

I received my wheel promptly. I had questions setting up the wheel but everyone was very helpful and responsive in responding to my emails in a timely manner. I definitely recommend this wheel for F1 fans.

it’s the best steering wheel I’ve had so far, it looks impressive and works wonderfully. Of course you have to adjust it accordingly, it also takes some time, but it’s worth it :) Support is just strong. precise and fast

Its amazona wheel best money used!

Wonderful build and feel. Great versatility as all rotaries, can be programmed with absolute positional functions or incremental functions. The new FSW2 hardware makes the wheel dashboard impressively responsive. If You prefer F1 2021, AC, ACC, iRacing, You are perfectly catered for and the in house software support is ever expanding and the after market support is second to none. This wheel deserves a place in Your Sim Rig for sure!

May be one of the best sim racing wheel of the market. Beautiful and very complete with all these buttons and encoders. The size is optimal and rigidity exceptionnal.
I appreciated the global quality which is very impressive.
Some issues for connecting on the wifi network but the after sales service was very reagent and effective.
Bought it since 3 months now and I confirm that the price worth it so much, Thank you EsportSim for providing such a product for the community !

Great size for a formula wheel, performs very well and is made of quality components, the screen is good quality and all items on any dashboard are easily seen. Great customer support from Carlo who helped me out as I am not too smart with PC matters.
I am very happy with the wheel, and it does exactly what I want it to do also works fine with assetto corsa competizione, thanks for a great product
Christoffer Ringdal (verified owner) –
Very high quality wheel with superb finishing work! I would like to also highlight the excellent customer support given by Carlo. Everything from purchase, images before postage and help with setup was above what I expected. I am new to sim racing and ran into some issues with setting up my wheel due to some razer hardware, but Carlo responded late in the evening and helped me out the very next day via online screen sharing and got everything sorted quickly. This makes me confident in the product, support and dedication of the esportsim team. Five stars!

This is my first Sim Racing Wheel (and hopefully last one – unless maybe when a FSW3 comes out). I was quite skeptical about it at first because there were not so many reviews online and obviously it was a very expensive product. I had a few other options in mind at the time but then I started talking to Carlo and I just knew that this was the Wheel I had to get for my journey into Sim Racing. He answered all my questions and queries (although at some point, some messages were missed or not answered). It had a personal touch to it and overall, the Customer Service is way up there compared to others. So, I pulled the plug and made the purchase. Two weeks later, the package arrived and I was just blown away.
It was very well protected for the shipment and the presentation of the Box itself is very nice. It definitely looks like a professionally made product. Just looking at the Wheel in the box brought a big smile on my face, re-assuring me that I made the right decision to purchase it. You can see that a lot of thoughts went into this and the design is perfect, especially for F1 Sims. The quality & attention to detail is just amazing and second to none.
The tactile feel of the Push Buttons are excellent and the detent of the Rotary Buttons are strong enough to make sure you are very precise when you use them and not turn them by mistake. The amount of customization in terms of Functions is just mind blowing. And oh boy, the Magnetic Shifters!! They are just exquisite. I have never been in a real Formula car before but having this Wheel in my hands felt as real as it can get.
I really wished they had like a Discord / Facebook Group Page for the esportsim community. Please keep up the great work guys. I really look forward to have my first drive with it and also about all the new features that are yet to come, including more enhancements to the Wheel itself.

Its maybe a little bit too expensive but if you play a lot is probably worth it
Timmy Boisvert (verified owner) –
I’ve to be honest, I was very hesitant at first as, contrary to other wheels of this quality/price level, there is very little review online on the product. I rarely give product review but if my opinion can help other hesitant drivers make a decision, I will gladly take the time.
If you compare the price and quality with other similar products, there’s no doubt that the FSW 2 is an amazing purchase. The flexibility of the product being compatible with most wheel base and platform is great and not all wheels offers this level of flexibility out of the box. The dashboard designer is an amazing addition that again provides a great level of flexibility for Sim racers. If you have the money to invest into a good wheel, there’s no doubt in my mind that this is THE wheel you should get.
Also, after sales support is amazing. Carlo answered all my questions before and after my purchase and I really feel confident in the continued support of the product. Amazing job Esportsim, hopefully in the future, reviews of the product can spread even more !

We bought this for the office to our F1 rig and it’s been great! It offers a great experience for casual driving, but enables the more enthusiastic drivers to get the full configurability out. Perhaps best of all – it looks super good!

Klare Kaufemempfehlung, Hochwertige Verarbeitung liegt top in der Hand. Installation nimmt etwas Zeit in Anspruch bis alles optimal belegt war. Real F1 feeling für zuhause
Luis (verified owner) –
The product is amazing, the build quality is superb, definitely meets all my expectations, and is worth the price point because this is a premium product.
The wheel has a lot of features and works without the need for Simhub or z1 server for example (you still can use them if you want), what I mean is that it is standalone, receives telemetry by wifi, and stores all the dashboards inside the wheel, which is great because USB bandwidth is not affected and does not put the load on your PC (the wheel has its own controller that renders everything), so gaming performance is not affected.
This is definitely the ”smartest” sim f1 wheel I can think of, it’s a small computer in the shape of a formula 1 wheel.
Konstantinos (verified owner) –
Great wheel, multiple properties to retrieve data from. The closest someone can get to a Formula 1 wheel. Good thing is, it’s compatible with a number of games. Best wheel I’ve ever had the chance to experience. In addition, the support is good. Would definitely suggest it!
Mathias Eriksson (verified owner) –
This wheel is the best I ever used. Grip, Buttons yes everything are of greatest quality and design
Edin Kovac (verified owner) –
Absolute masterpiece. A marvel of engineering. Makes me feel like a boy again dreaming of driving a formula 1 car. Rotary switches are firm and have clear feeling of when input is received. Lots of buttons and analogue switches to be able to control everything.
The shape and size of the wheel and lcd screen are perfect. Not one bad thing to say about this wheel or company. Great People working in the company.

After a long time of reflexion, I finally bought this wheel. Only good words to write. Quality of wheel is great, delivery is safe and quick. But most important thing, especially when you put a lot of money for your passion : The team of esportsim is great. They are trying to improve this product (even if it’s already top quality), and there are always here to answer by mail, to help when you have something to ask. 100% happy with that wheel, amazing work from this company.

Hello dear Esportsim team,
This steering wheel just makes the difference, it takes a little time to get used to the settings at first, but once the button assignment fits and you understand all the functions, it can’t be surpassed in terms of realism. I look forward to new updates and products from you. Keep it up.
There is still a Race to win.
Best reguards

I previously bought the FSW1 which I really enjoyed with my old setup. I’ve now upgraded my wheelbase and switched to a PC so have returned to esportsim and bought the FSW2. It makes me smile every time I switch it on and it massively enhances my driving experience. Very immersive, very good!
Cale Delyea –
I bought the FSW2 about 6 months ago. I run a Fantec system on PC. So going from Fantec wheels to this was a massive leap forward. Out of the box is a bit of learning curve, but after a couple emails and some trial and error. I was off and running. From the first race, it really makes you feel like you’re driving an F1 car. With the dash board designer you can make the wheel feel like you’re driving an f1 car for any of the teams. I would love to see more wheels styles made available Red bull, Mercedes, Williams (with a stand alone screen so you could use the dash with other wheels).
Absolutely great wheel 10/10. Makes it hard to go back to any of my other wheels.
