I am planning to buy a second-hand Simagic Alpha Mini priced about $200 a bit later this week. They were a part of a rental sim racing set up that was in use for about one and a half years. Plus, there are 7 units so I can select the one that is physically best.

This will be my first direct drive base and first serious sim racing upgrade after a Logitech G923. I'll have a laptop with the Simagic software on it so see if it works.

What features do you suggest I consider when checking/testing them? Are there any specific issues with extensively used Alpha Minis or ex-rental units?

(It is just the base alone)
