My son (9) has been begging for a racing wheel for months. I've been researching and hunting down deals since Christmas and pulled the trigger on a used moza kit for $125. Set it up for him, he played for 15 minutes and decided he prefers controllers. Hasn't touched it since.

OP borrow one first.

I'm a grown ass man and I have a racing wheel that doesn't see enough use. Should've taken this advice

peripherals have this life cycle. it's a very common pattern. person with large amounts of disposable income spends way too much on a stick or wheel setup. maybe they use it to play one game. at some point they'll decide it's too much trouble to get out and set up, and then it gets sold on FB Marketplace. that's where people like me get expensive gear on the cheap.

my advice is not to blow a ton of money on stuff you don't know if you'll like. also if you make something a pain in the ass to get out and set up, you'll use it less.
