thanks for all the advice guys, ive been searching the web and reading good and bad reviews about wheels and pedals and it tends to send you round in circles to at one point i thought just stick with the controller
i think pedal wise i will go with either the Fanatec CSR Elite or Clubsport as it sounds like the load cell is the way to go if im going, i was looking at the G27 but i keep reading and hearing about this deadzone which i think i wont be happy with so i'd rather pay the extra
I havent tested the G27, but never had an annoying deadzone on my G25. The wheel doesnt really change your performance. Rather take the one you like the most in terms of feeling, looks, brand whatever is important for you.
No wheel is perfect in terms of reliability.
I would recommend you a belt driven wheel anyway. Once you are used to a gear driven wheel it takes some time to switch and with never games gear driven wheels can get loud and shaky etc.
I havent driven a load cell brake so far, but for me it is simple. I dont use a load cell brake and never really found someone who was better on the brakes than me.
I would rather choose the wheel you like the most and upgrade the pedals later. There are also load cell mods for G27 or T500 pedals. Looking at my G25 pedals (I paid 150€ for the whole wheel without any discount) they are incredible value in comparison and only needed a small clean up inside after 5 years of use.
Keep in mind that you need a lot more force to press a loadcell and if you dont have a rig you could easily end up moving the chair you are sitting on rathrr than the brakes.
First time I tried my G25 in an office chair and that wasnt working because the slighty stiffer spring on the brake is harder to move than an entire office chair with wheels. So I had to use a normal chair.
@Rene Reiterer owns the clubsport pedals and told me I shouldnt bother upgrading to them unless my seat and pedals are attached in some way, because my chair would move before the brakes start to move, which makes driving nearly impossible.
