Beneath the surface, both wheels boast similar technical specs. They're both direct drive, with a decent torque rating (A: 20Nm, B: 6.4Nm). Compatibility-wise, A is only for PC, while B offers dual compatibility with PC and Xbox. Both have standard quick releases.
I've seen users struggle with VRS DirectForce Pro's integration issues in certain games - it's a common problem that can be fixed with tweaking, but the original software didn't help. The big problem here is that some wheels just don't get recognized by the game devs, leaving you to wrestle with compatibility problems. I've seen users rave about the wheel itself, praising its feel and size, but there are reports of issues with using it in Rally games. You might need to tweak files or deal with frustrating deadzones if you're into Rally driving.
The Thrustmaster TS-XW Servo has its own set of problems, though. Users have reported buzzing noises and calibration headaches that can drive you mad. Deadzones are a particular issue, making driving straight feel like fighting a sinking ship. I've seen users grapple with faulty wheels that require shipping for repairs - it's a hassle that'll test your patience. But when it works, some users swear by the TS-XW's smooth FFB and long lifespan (we're talking hundreds of hours here).
For Rally enthusiasts on PC, I'd recommend shelling out for VRS DirectForce Pro. Despite its compatibility issues, its feel and performance shine when you get it working. Don't expect any hand-holding from the original software, but that's a small price to pay for this beast of a wheel.
For those on a budget or with Xbox, Thrustmaster TS-XW Servo is a decent choice - provided you can live with its quirks. It's not perfect, but it's been praised for its longevity and smooth FFB. If you can stomach the potential headaches (and I do mean "potential"), this wheel might just become your new best friend.
