Couldn't tell a big difference between their Alpha U and a friend's Simucube 2 Pro in 20 minutes.
Never runs their Alpha U above 50% in ACC.
Moved from a VRS to an Alpha U and, once dialled in, prefers its feedback.
Upgraded straight from a T300 to the Alpha U and is loving it.
A few weeks in, their Alpha U is so solid and the software runs well; they can't imagine wanting more.
Rarely uses their Alpha U above 60%; FFB quality depends heavily on the game.
Upgraded from the Alpha Mini to the Alpha U with no complaints; best decision.
Their Alpha U is great with more torque than you need and great wireless wheels; software is just OK.
Glad they returned a defective Moza R9 and moved up to the Alpha U.
Having had every high-end wheel, the Alpha U is their choice.
Tried a friend's Alpha then bought the Alpha U and felt little difference at their usual levels.
Has the Ultimate set to 60% and that's a struggle sometimes; buy once, cry once.
Got the Alpha U for around €900 and finds 23 Nm a bargain.
Likes their Alpha U but the FX Pro screen lacks SimHub support and the software is lacking.
Five months on the Alpha U and would never go Simucube; the same when set up correctly.
Moving off their Alpha U to a Simucube 2 Pro, citing poor customer service and software.
Went for the Alpha Ultimate and has no regrets, even if it's more power than needed.
Switched from a Simucube 2 Sport to the Alpha Ultimate and recommends it for value and FFB.
Chose the Alpha U at the last second after the R9 proved too weak.
Moved from the Mini to the Alpha U after clipping; runs it at 14 Nm and it doesn't feel unrealistic.
Went Ultimate for headroom they don't use, to run heavy high-end wheels.
Went with the Ultimate and couldn't be happier, at 100% in SimPro and 50-60% in game.
Loves their Alpha U, which feels way better than the Alpha and close to a Simucube 2 Pro.
In love with their Alpha U and FX wheel bundle.
Six months on an Alpha U with no issues.
Going from a CSL DD 8 Nm to the Alpha Ultimate was a night-and-day jump in quality and strength.
Loves their Alpha U a lot and would prefer it over a Simucube 2 Sport.
Recently upgraded from a T300RS to the Alpha U and it's awesome.
Their Alpha U works like a charm on a RigMetal Basic, mounted directly to the profiles.
Runs an Alpha U with FX Pro and P1000s, staying in the Simagic ecosystem.
Has tried the Alpha U and owns a VNM Xtreme, and finds little difference between them.
Switched from a DD1 with Podium gear to the Alpha U and FX Pro, after which the Fanatec gear felt like toys.
Went from a CSL Elite to the Alpha U: build quality is on a different level and the motor is very smooth.
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.
Loves their Alpha Ultimate, though they find the DD+ more responsive.
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.
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.
Has had their Alpha U for nearly five years with zero issues.
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.
More than satisfied with their Alpha U.
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.
Switched from a Logitech G PRO to a Simagic Alpha U and regretted it, preferring the Logitech's force feedback, and sold the Simagic.
Just got a Simagic Alpha Ultimate on a Black Friday sale after about 12 years on a G25 and G27.
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%.
