I went wheel-to-wheel with and beat Max Verstappen for the first time — and it’s all thanks to this $179 racing wheel

A black Turtle Beach Racer Wireless racing wheel.

If you want to take your first steps into the vast world of sim racing and wheels, the Turtle Beach Racer Wireless is a great place to start. It features pressure-sensitive paddles that give you a competitive edge in racing games, and its buttons can be extensively customized.

Featuring wired and wireless connectivity, as well as a lap rest so that you can use it while on the couch, this is a very versatile racing wheel. That isn’t to say it’s perfect, though. Given that this is a budget-friendly wheel and doesn’t cost nearly as much as more premium or direct drive setups, it’s worth noting that there’s no force feedback, and it doesn’t come with pedals.
