HORI
Is HORI worth buying?
HORI earned a buy verdict on 1 of the 3 HORI products we compared (33%), well below the 50% average across every brand on the site. 1 of them won its comparison outright: HORI Fighting Stick α (PS5, PS4, Windows). 1 is an "it depends": right for a specific buyer, not for everyone. We would skip 1: HORI Racing Wheel APEX (SPF-004U).
Verdicts synthesize independent testing and long-term owner reports; we do not run a lab and never take review units. Each product below links to the comparison it was judged in. How we review.

Racing Wheels: Which to Buy and Which to Skip · Gaming
HORI Racing Wheel APEX (SPF-004U)
A licensed PlayStation wheel and pedal set at a low price, but its maker page lists no force feedback and only 270 degrees of turn.
Why we skip it: HORI's product page lists no force feedback, so the wheel cannot push back when the tires lose grip.
