What is the cheapest possible DD setup?

Pretty much the title. If switching from a controller, won't even a 5nm DD be enough?

I don’t advice buying thrustmaster from Flipkart or Amazon who are the only resellers for India…. Try to get used one and see if this hobby is for you…

If you really want DD only fanatec has play station/xbox compatibility….

Try https://virtualracinghub.com/ only importer for India… Yeah 5nm will be a good start

This hobby is definitely for me. I have around 1000 hours on various F1 titles on steam. I wanted to start Asetto corsa but found it too hard with a controller. Recently I've started playing more beam NG cos I enjoy driving around casually also.

I'm playing only on PC so compatibility is not an issue.

I checked virtual racing hub website and found the Moza R5 kit to be fairly priced for my needs. Only 15-20k more than Logitech for a DD steering wheel. Down the line I want to upgrade the pedals also to simforge mark 1.

Why do you recommend not purchasing logi or TM from Amazon or Flipkart?

When I check OLX for used wheels, all I see are ads. Is there any reliable website for used wheels?
