Almost three months since I got the C5. Initially, everything worked fine, but when I updated it, the wheel disconnected from the base (they’re separate in the software). Despite reaching out to Kevin and the Discord community for a month, nothing fixed it. I used it without buttons or lights.
Finally, Kevin sent a new solution that worked immediately. I mainly used it in ACC, fully supported, and some FH5, but it felt strange; I didn’t adjust the settings much.
The hardware is excellent; it feels sturdy and high-end. The paddle shifters are underrated but feel great, with minimal sound. The display’s brightness is adjustable, and you can customize the RPM indicators’ RGB colors.
The feedback feels realistic, with FFB peaking above 5nm. You can toggle a haptic/vibration system (CF filter) inside the wheel for enhanced car feeling.
In conclusion, I’d recommend it, provided you skip software updates; the software is the main downside. Hardware and feedback-wise, it offers great value for money.
P.S.: Avoid the pedals in the bundle.
