PXN V10 Review: A Solid Entry-Level Setup with Shifter & Pedals

PXN V10 Review: Build Quality and Design – A Budget Feel with Decent Ergonomics

At first glance, the PXN V10 looks like a premium racing wheel, featuring a modern black-and-orange color scheme. The wheel rim is wrapped in synthetic leather, which provides a comfortable grip, though it doesn’t have the same luxurious feel as higher-end wheels with genuine leather or suede.

One standout feature is the sturdy clamp system, which ensures the wheel stays firmly in place, even during aggressive turns. Many budget wheels struggle with stability, but the PXN V10 does a good job here. However, the plastic-heavy build is a clear reminder of its budget price point. The buttons and dials feel functional but lack the satisfying click and tactile response found in higher-end models.

The included 6-speed H-pattern shifter is a nice addition for those who prefer manual gear changes, and the three-pedal set (throttle, brake, and clutch) adds a layer of realism. However, the pedals are lightweight and don’t feel as sturdy as they should—serious sim racers may want to upgrade to a heavier, more durable pedal set for better braking control.

Performance and Force Feedback – Does It Feel Realistic?

The PXN V10 uses a gear-driven force feedback system, which delivers noticeable resistance and vibration when cornering, braking, or hitting bumps. However, compared to belt-driven or direct-drive wheels, the feedback can feel notchy and less smooth. When making quick steering corrections, you may notice a small amount of mechanical resistance, which can slightly reduce immersion.

That being said, for an entry-level wheel at this price, the force feedback is still impressive. In Forza Horizon 5, the wheel provided a decent amount of resistance when drifting or losing traction. In Assetto Corsa, the feedback felt a bit more refined, though you’ll need to fine-tune the in-game settings to get the most out of it.

For competitive sim racers, the lack of fine-tuned force feedback detail could be a drawback, but for beginners, it’s more than enough to enhance the driving experience.

One of the best features of the PXN V10 is its adjustable steering rotation, which allows you to switch between 270° and 900° rotation. This is perfect for users who play both arcade-style racers (like Forza) and sim-focused titles (like iRacing or Assetto Corsa).

The wheel is also fully customizable through the PXN software, where you can adjust dead zones, force feedback strength, and sensitivity. The default settings work fine out of the box, but tweaking these settings can make a significant difference in how the wheel feels during gameplay.

One limitation to keep in mind is PlayStation 5 compatibility—while the wheel technically works on PS5, it doesn’t have full native support for all games. Some players have reported needing additional adapters to get it to function properly.

The included three-pedal set consists of an accelerator, brake, and clutch. The brake pedal has progressive resistance, meaning it gets stiffer as you press harder, mimicking real-world braking. However, the pedals feel quite light, and without a proper mounting system, they can slide around on smooth surfaces.

The H-pattern shifter is a great inclusion at this price point, offering six forward gears and reverse. The throw distance is decent, and shifting feels satisfying, though the construction feels somewhat plasticky. For casual players, it’s a fun addition, but more serious sim racers might prefer a third-party shifter with a more robust build.

Setting up the PXN V10 is straightforward and beginner-friendly. It’s mostly plug-and-play on PC and Xbox, with automatic detection in most racing games. However, as mentioned earlier, PlayStation 5 support can be hit-or-miss, requiring workarounds for some titles.

The PXN software allows for further customization, and while it’s not as advanced as Logitech’s G Hub or Thrustmaster’s T.A.R.G.E.T software, it still gets the job done.

For a budget-friendly racing wheel, the PXN V10 offers solid features at an affordable price. It won’t match the refinement of high-end wheels, but for beginners looking to experience force feedback without breaking the bank, it’s an excellent starting point.

If you’re a casual racer or new to sim racing, this wheel provides plenty of value, especially with the pedals and shifter included. However, if you’re looking for a more immersive and realistic force feedback experience, you may want to invest in a belt-driven or direct-drive alternative.
