For a much more detailed breakdown of the best PlayStation 5 racing wheels, read our ultimate PS5 racing wheel guide. In this guide, we compare all of the very best PS5 racing wheels from a variety of sim racing brands. You can differentiate between the ClubSport DD and DD+ by the colour of the ring on the rear of the wheel base. This is a new visual identity that Fanatec are starting to bring to their wheel bases. Yellow indicates the wheel base is PC-compatible, while a blue ring shows that the wheel base is PS5 compatible.

Running costs vary depending on the size, make and model of dehumidifier you opt for, but as a desiccant dehumidifier the EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 does use a fair amount of electricity to operate.

This direct drive racing wheel sits at the top of SimuCube’s lineup, and produces an eye-watering 32Nm of torque! And that is it. no steering wheel, no pedals. Just the direct drive wheel base in all of its glory. Fanatec has recently made huge strides in affordable direct drive wheel bases with the CSL DD and GT DD Pro. Both of these wheel bases sit over half the price of the higher-powered products such as the DD1 and SimuCube 2 Sport.

Due to the motor being directly connected to the steering wheel, you’ll feel every single bump in the road, and the exact point that your tyres break traction. This level of fidelity isn’t possible from a belt-driven racing wheel, as some of the detail is always lost in translation from the motor to the steering wheel thanks to the belt pulley technology. By removing any additional internal parts such as gears and belts, you could utilise a stronger motor without as much worry of something internally breaking. This allowed direct drive wheels to be much stronger than gear or belt driven wheels.

The EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 Dehumidifier is a desiccant dehumidifier that's designed for small to medium-sized spaces. When discussing the performance of both the CSL DD and the GT DD Pro, it is worth noting there is a decent upgrade available for both wheel bases. The Boost Kit 180 increases the power output of both these wheels from 5Nm to 8Nm. In terms of performance, the AccuForce Pro V2 is a plug-and-play wheel base that can sustain 13Nm of torque. As I’ve said before in this guide, this really is around the sweet spot of performance. Of course, with the cost of living and climate crisis, it's important to take into account the energy usage of any home appliance, and you'll likely be wondering how much a dehumidifier costs to run. If you have been saving a while for a direct drive wheel, the Fanatec DD1 will be more than good enough!The turbo mode however is very loud, but that’s really only needed for extremely damp rooms or drying laundry. Portability A direct drive wheel differs from other racing wheels by mounting the internal motor directly to the motor shaft.
