With that said, it'll ideally be screwed into a racing rig like Fanatec's $150 Rennsport wheel stand - as we've noted in the past, these racing setups can thin-wallets with a single card swipe depending on your wants. It's not something of concern during races, but we're surprised Fanatec hasn't reworked this fitting. While it's not uncommon for many wheels - and mostly adequate for quick setup and teardown - we can't help to note that our $150 Logitech Driving Force GT mounts better to a variety of surfaces. We annoyingly needed a surface that was about an inch thick to start, and after twisting its hand screw to a secure fit we were still getting slight wheel wobble. To be blunt, the desk clamp is rather mediocre. For those not familiar, the underside of the CSR wheel is loaded with a removeable desk clamp, and smathering of rubber pads and screw-holes on its base for permanent placement.

(Not to mention that the GT2 spoiled us with its full Alcantara covering.)ДЄs you'd expect with a serious gear like this there are mounting options aplenty, and it's laid out exactly like the GT2. Although we normally positioned our hands on two of the three aforementioned sections, full rotations had us yearning for an all around soft-touch feel. The rest of the wheel however (excluding the bit of rubber on its underside), is made of slick and glossy black plastic.

The most obvious change, though, is the racing-styled wheel grip.ДЄt the CSR's nine and three o'clock positions are comfortable contours fashioned with smooth rubber and Alcantara for extra tack, ensuring our sweaty hands never slipped or cramped. All of the buttons are easily within thumbs' reach, and best of all, on back you'll find sizeable metal paddle shifters that move with the wheel.

The wheel's inner rim is fashioned from a slab of brushed-aluminum and features the Forza logo dead center with Xbox buttons are laid out in a cluster on the right, a three-number presets LCD planted top-center (more on this later), four red buttons around it and a new 5-way d-pad on the left. Lastly, positioned on the wheel's dash is the familiar Xbox guide button.

Notably, you'll be able to connect many of Fanatec's other shifters / pedals, and with an optional adapter, even Logitech's G25 / 27 gear.

Meanwhile, on the left, there's an Xbox Live headset jack, a USB standard-B port (for PC / PS3 hookup) and another shifter connector if you'd prefer it there or want to hookup a handbrake. Along the right side, you'll find a duo of PS/2 ports for connecting the shifter pedals, as well as a power jack and an on / off button. What has definitely changed, however, is the overall theme - namely, all of the Forza inspired tweaks like its red and black color scheme. The CSR wheel is said to have 'updated internals,' but like its older brother, it's packing a belt-driven Mabuchi 550 force feedback motor along with two other motors that handle vibration. From the rear, the CSR wheel appears strikingly similar to Fanatec's GT2, and that's because they're more or less built from the same foundation.
