Looking for someone interested in these, but neither of us have owned one since the PS1 days...

Would this be good for someone who wants a full-blown racing setup including one of the frame things that acts like a car/rollcage to hold the player and wheel/pedals? They are in progress of building a 13700K/4090 build if it helps.

I've recently purchased a set and done a lot of research. There are different tiers of products, as always.

The lower tiers have popular recommendations like the Logitech G29/G923 and a few Thrustmaster variants like this. These are fine for people who aren't super picky about their experience. In fact, many of the best sim racers still use these sorts of products because they're so used to them. They use cheaper parts, have way less power, and the feedback isn't as instantaneous. The pedals generally use potentiometers instead of Hall effect sensors. The Logitech options in this range use gears, Thrustmaster uses belts - belts are generally considered smoother.

The deal I would recommend to anyone would be the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT. This is the wheel that is sort of the sweet spot. It's better than most of the entry level options and on sale it's the best value overall ($200-300, I believe).

Above these, you have entry level direct drive (DD). Moza and Fanatec are your options here. They're a step up in feel and generally can be upgraded to get even more performance should you choose to. They also have different wheels you can attach to the base for customization. These start around $500.

Where I think you get to the best value high end-ish range is the $800-1200 range. Logitech, Fanatec, and Moza all have terrific options here. Thrustmaster also recently released a DD setup, but it gets mixed reviews. I used a coupon code and got the Logitech G Pro wheel and pedals, the biggest downside is that it takes up a ton of space.

They get more expensive for more power beyond that price range. So how much you want to spend depends on how serious you are and what sort of experience you want… and budget.

The brand has been around for decades. Probably named by some hormone-laden geek who's now considered a dirty old man. 🤨
TTM is just projecting. Peace

For me, it was the same one posted on the refurb Slickdeals thread (I bought my G Pro wheel and pedals before that thread was up when I saw the code mentioned on Reddit). The code was not just for refurbished great, Logitech simply had a major markdown already on refurbished products, so the extra 15% made the price quite good.

You do need to buy the wheel and pedals in separate orders when using codes, though (in my experience anyway).
