I always though Fanatec products are both overpriced and often junky.

If You look at the prices of other sim racing gear they don't look that bad. Especially since they finally removed the biggest flaw in their hardware - the previous quick release system.

Yes - the CSL DD still relies on plastic for the main shaft, but what do You expect from a cheap DD base? Until Moza appeared with their R5 and R9 systems, we did not have a true alternative. And while I really do like Moza's software, people testing sim racing all agree, that Fanatec's FF is a bit more detailed. And there are way more steering wheels to choose from.
