Is it worth getting an entry level wheel after experiencing direct drive?

So I have been shopping for my first wheel + pedals setup, and I keep coming back to one question that I can’t answer. Since I’ve tried and loved the feel and feedback from direct drive wheels, I kind of wrote-off any of the cheaper wheel types. Are belt/gear wheels still a worthy upgrade over a controller or am I better off to save and not limit myself?

i think u should save a little bit more for a dd, in 2026 there is no upgrade path anymore for belt or gear wheels when for dd wheels u have a lot more choice for upgrading in the future

Depends. If you can allow it, go for DD. If not, then belt is still very smooth and gives good feedback, so you still have options
