Started on the Fanatec CSL DD 5 Nm and found it felt very dated compared with the Moza they switched to.

negative

Sold their T300 for a new CSL DD and is disappointed: it feels weaker and the force feedback is like butter, so they can't tell when grip is lost; ordered a boost kit.

negative

Their new CSL DD 5 Nm felt like it gave less feedback than their old T300 until they reworked the settings, raising minimum power, to something they're happy with.

mixed

Coming from a T300RS, their new CSL DD 5 Nm bundle gives barely any resistance at max sensitivity.

negative

Uses the CSL DD at the full 5 Nm on a Playseat Trophy with no durability issues.

positive

Went from a Thrustmaster T128 to a Fanatec CSL DD 5 Nm and finds it perfect.

positive

Came from a G29 and used the CSL DD at 5 Nm for a few days before fitting the boost kit; a big upgrade over the G29, but finds 5 Nm really not enough.
