Nick, gaming, and computers all first met in 1981, with the love affair starting on a Sinclair ZX81 in kit form and a book on ZX Basic. He ended up becoming a physics and IT teacher, but by the late 1990s decided it was time to cut his teeth writing for a long defunct UK tech site.

Corsair's plan to acquire Endor AGand Fanatec is now part of Corsair. That includes its debts, manufacturing difficulties, and a raft of upset customers. Nevertheless, Corsair is determined to fix it all, though its CEO admits that"it's certainly not going to be business as usual because business at the moment is not as we'd like it."and pointed out that the necessary work to resolve everything was already underway.

That comment raises a simple question, though. If the factory manufacturing all of Fanatec's parts wasn't at full capacity, why was it taking so long for orders to arrive? It would seem that the company just didn't have the infrastructure in place to deal with so many orders and would routinely sell items that it just didn't have in stock.

Something else it has is a presence in the retail market. Fanatec only sold its products directly, whereas Corsair's hardware can be found in stores and all of the major online retailers. Not only should that make it much easier to find a Fanatec wheel system you like but you may also have the chance to try one out first.
