PXN Direct Drive Wheelbases — Comparison Table
PXN Direct Drive Wheelbase Lineup
PXN offers the most affordable entry into direct drive sim racing, with the V10 Ultra at $259 including wheel and pedals — the cheapest DD bundle in this review — while supporting PC, PS4 and Xbox. The VD6 and VD10 step up with 24-bit encoders matching the resolution of Simagic EVO and MOZA bases at a fraction of the price, formally surpassing Logitech RS50 and Thrustmaster T818 in this spec. The main trade-off is a fully closed proprietary ecosystem — all PXN bases only support their own wheels through a non-standard QR, and the VD6/VD10 lack console support.
