The Asetek SimSports Forte Formula Pro and the Rexing Formula Mayaris 2 represent two entirely different design philosophies. While Asetek focuses on a rigid, tactile ecosystem wheel, Rexing delivers an ultra-premium, carbon-fiber input powerhouse.
Asetek sells its wheel grips separately, which increases the initial purchase cost. Both wheels feature integrated displays, though their real-world visibility and utility vary based on mounting and design.
The Asetek SimSports Forte Formula Pro is highly rigid and features excellent tactile aluminum buttons. However, you must tolerate loud magnetic shifters and a screen that sits too low for easy viewing.
The Rexing Formula Mayaris 2 offers unmatched input customization and an incredibly light carbon fiber frame. On the downside, its mini OLED screens feel gimmicky, and the soft thumb encoders lack precision when wearing gloves.
