Ascher Racing F64-SC V3vsPXN W AS Steering Wheel

The Bottom Line

The Ascher Racing F64-SC V3 is a premium, zero-compromise tool for serious sim racers, while the PXN W AS Steering Wheel targets budget-conscious drivers looking for an entry-level option. Choosing between them is a matter of deciding whether you want flawless high-end engineering or a highly affordable starting point.

Watch out

The PXN W AS suffers from frustrating software connection dropouts and mushy D-pad buttons that often require DIY modifications to register reliably. Additionally, its stock clutch springs are excessively stiff, which may force you into an immediate spring swap.

Note

While the Ascher Racing F64-SC V3 offers a massive array of 64 inputs, configuring its complex encoder selector functionality in the software can be challenging for some users.

Why choose Ascher Racing F64-SC V3

9.0
Overall Score
  • It features a larger 285 mm diameter that provides superior handling and leverage over the smaller 280 mm wheel.
  • The CNC-machined aluminum chassis delivers absolute rigidity with zero flex, ensuring a rock-solid feel during heavy force feedback.

Why choose PXN W AS Steering Wheel

6.0
Overall Score
  • It offers 19 physical buttons on the wheel face, outclassing the 14 buttons found on the Ascher.
  • The microfiber leather grips provide a comfortable feel without the sticky, dirt-attracting tendencies of rubber grips.

The Verdict

If you have the budget, the Ascher Racing F64-SC V3 is a masterclass in engineering, offering unmatched rigidity and tactile feedback despite its high $1,239.00 price tag. The PXN W AS is a highly affordable $139.00 entry point, but you must be prepared to tolerate frustrating software and mushy D-pad buttons.
