Three rules before you compare
- 01
Platform compatibility is determined by the full wheel-base, wheel-rim and console combination.
- 02
Budget for mounting, floor space and a stable seat before chasing more force-feedback torque.
- 03
A coherent ecosystem and upgrade path matter more than a single headline specification.
