Hi all,

I have been playing iRacing on controller for the past year. Wanted to make sure I really liked it before committing to equipment. Worked myself up to 1800 IR and A SR. Can compete in middle pack of lower half splits in Gt3 Races and importantly keep things clean. But, I knew my steering angle wasn't great on controller, and I was probably over breaking, all costing me time. Typically, I'd be 2 seconds back from top split times in a typical 1:45 to 2 min track for GT3.

Bought the Evo Sport 9nm, P700, GT neo wheel bundle and just got it all set up. I think I have decent settings now for wheel strength, max strength, etc. But, I totally suck, 2-3 seconds behind my times from the controller. I don't have a feel for braking yet - the controller I had had some LFE with antilock braking that I miss. and I can't sense oversteer very well yet other than when the wheel torque changes which I feel like I am recognizing too late. I know this will get better with practice, but is there a good strategy for that? Should I go back to Mx-5 and work back up to GT3 or stick with what I like to race and just do a lot of practice sessions? I have no intention of joining a race and screwing others up with how I am right now.

Would adding the wheel haptics give me back what I am missing, or is that a crutch that I should learn to live without?

I know others have made a similar change but appreciate advice on what strategies work to at least get me slow controller times back and then get better.

I posted this as a reply one someone else’s thread as well. Left ear bud just went dead and neither will connect to case.

Left ear bud went silent about two weeks after right bud replacement after it had gone silent and was creating a constant disconnect when I took the right bud out of the case. After the right replacement and left going quiet I was still able to sleep with sound from the right (new bud) and none from the left. As of last night neither is connecting. I just get the solid 5 center lights from the case in the middle and a double pulsing light under the right bud only. No light under the left bud. Tried all hard resets from case and with PC connection, inverting buds, tapping on case, Bluetooth unpair, etc. seems like left is just dead and preventing any connection from either. Reached out to Mods last night.

Have been using these since my old Bose died and was a kickstarter. Trying to be loyal as these have been life changing, but last night was terrible sleep (my brain is dependent on the ocean sounds now I think, and my spouse snores). I ordered A30 on Amazon in the middle of the night in case there isn’t a remedy for this.

Mods: these are a great design inherited from a perfectly working ecosystem(Bose). The connection quality was perfect until you started adding newer and supposedly enhanced features a year or two ago. Whether it’s the new features or the devices just don’t last I don’t know. Now they are plagued with disconnects and hardware issues. Please go back to the basics, work on quality, and come out with a Version 2. I’d buy in a heartbeat.
