Simagic Alpha Drive Steering Wheel – Review By Laurence Dusoswa

Sim Racing YouTuber Laurence Dusoswa presents his long-term review of the Simagic Alpha Direct Drive Steering Wheel.

About a year ago, the Chinese Simagic company introduced two new direct drive wheel systems in the form of the Simagic M10 and Simagic Alpha units. The M10 is marketed as a 10 Nm stepper motor entree-level DD unit, while the 15 Nm servo motor Alpha model is aimed at the professional market and more demanding Sim Racing enthusiast.

SIMAGIC Alpha Direct Drive Wheelbase

The Simagic Alpha 15 Nm Direct Drive unit utilizes a servo motor that is optimized for sim racing, providing more torque response than the M10 entree-level unit. Compared to the 10 Nm stepper motor of the M10, the 15 Nm Alpha servo motor is better equipped to maintain high torque under high wheel speeds.
