Couldn't tell a big difference between their Alpha U and a friend's Simucube 2 Pro in 20 minutes.

positive

Never runs their Alpha U above 50% in ACC.

positivestrong force feedback

Moved from a VRS to an Alpha U and, once dialled in, prefers its feedback.

positive

Upgraded straight from a T300 to the Alpha U and is loving it.

positive

A few weeks in, their Alpha U is so solid and the software runs well; they can't imagine wanting more.

positivesolid buildgood software

Rarely uses their Alpha U above 60%; FFB quality depends heavily on the game.

positive

Upgraded from the Alpha Mini to the Alpha U with no complaints; best decision.

positive

Their Alpha U is great with more torque than you need and great wireless wheels; software is just OK.

positivestrong force feedback

Glad they returned a defective Moza R9 and moved up to the Alpha U.

positive

Tried a friend's Alpha then bought the Alpha U and felt little difference at their usual levels.

positive

Has the Ultimate set to 60% and that's a struggle sometimes; buy once, cry once.

positivestrong force feedback

Got the Alpha U for around €900 and finds 23 Nm a bargain.

positivegreat value

Likes their Alpha U but the FX Pro screen lacks SimHub support and the software is lacking.

mixedbad software

Five months on the Alpha U and would never go Simucube; the same when set up correctly.

positive

Moving off their Alpha U to a Simucube 2 Pro, citing poor customer service and software.

negativebad software

Went for the Alpha Ultimate and has no regrets, even if it's more power than needed.

positive

Switched from a Simucube 2 Sport to the Alpha Ultimate and recommends it for value and FFB.

positivegreat value

Chose the Alpha U at the last second after the R9 proved too weak.

positivestrong force feedback

Moved from the Mini to the Alpha U after clipping; runs it at 14 Nm and it doesn't feel unrealistic.

positive

Went Ultimate for headroom they don't use, to run heavy high-end wheels.

positive

Went with the Ultimate and couldn't be happier, at 100% in SimPro and 50-60% in game.

positive

Loves their Alpha U, which feels way better than the Alpha and close to a Simucube 2 Pro.

positivedetailed force feedback

Going from a CSL DD 8 Nm to the Alpha Ultimate was a night-and-day jump in quality and strength.

positivestrong force feedback

Loves their Alpha U a lot and would prefer it over a Simucube 2 Sport.

positive

Recently upgraded from a T300RS to the Alpha U and it's awesome.

positive

Their Alpha U works like a charm on a RigMetal Basic, mounted directly to the profiles.

positive

Runs an Alpha U with FX Pro and P1000s, staying in the Simagic ecosystem.

positive

Has tried the Alpha U and owns a VNM Xtreme, and finds little difference between them.

positive

Switched from a DD1 with Podium gear to the Alpha U and FX Pro, after which the Fanatec gear felt like toys.

positivesolid build

Went from a CSL Elite to the Alpha U: build quality is on a different level and the motor is very smooth.

positivesolid build

Moved from a Fanatec DD1 to the Alpha U with GT Neo and has had a much better experience; the force feedback is very smooth.

positivedetailed force feedback

Loves their Alpha Ultimate, though they find the DD+ more responsive.

positive

First impressions of the Alpha U: mounting, software and firmware updates were a breeze, the force feedback sliders are clear, it's a beast that can be aggressive or silky, and the quick release is rock solid.

positivestrong force feedbackgood softwareeasy setup

Calls the Alpha U a great wheelbase but needed to dial the force feedback down a lot, and preferred the Simucube 2 Pro they moved to.

mixed

Has had the Alpha U for two years: liked the design and front mount, the quick release is great and solid, and it's a super rigid beast with 23 Nm headroom.

positiverigidstrong force feedback

Owned the Alpha U among several bases and calls it an amazing base for amazing value, though Simucube was smoother and more detailed for them.

positivegreat value

Switched from a Logitech G PRO to a Simagic Alpha U and regretted it, preferring the Logitech's force feedback, and sold the Simagic.

negative

Just got a Simagic Alpha Ultimate on a Black Friday sale after about 12 years on a G25 and G27.

positive

Their Simagic Alpha Ultimate at 23 Nm is overkill, but running it at 12 Nm gives more detail without clipping than a 12 Nm base at 100%.
