The Turtle Beach Velocity One Race instantly caught the attention of both sim racers and console gamers considering how much it was offering for the $650 MSRP (US). With a 7.2 Nm direct drive wheel motor, included button box, internal screen, and a load-cell brake pedal, there was good reason for the excitement. It's also one of the better bundled systems on Xbox for those looking for a turn-key solution. The launch had some issues though, but it turns out many of the problems came from the firmware, and not the hardware itself. So how is it after several months of use, testing, and updates?
