Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - OK FFB racing wheel
I got this driving wheel to enjoy the GT Legends game for Windows PC. After having had it for some months, I'd say that I was disappointed with the way the motors interpret the forces, which is (in my opinion) unrealistic. The self- centering point actually seems to work against you as you are speeding down the straightaway, causing one to have to rock the wheel back and forth to maintain your path. So as a consequence, I have turned off all force feedback effects so I can maintain better control. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The wheel itself is awesome, the software has some kinks
I think that the wheel itself is excellent for the price. I play Richard Burns Rally with it, and it does its job very well. The wheel itself is sturdy. The clamping system for the wheel to stay put on the desk fits almost anywhere in any position, normal or odd. My desk is on a corner and it fits on the corner of my room. The moniter is on the center where this corner is, so usually, most things have trouble fitting, but this fits almost perfectly. My only trouble I had with installing this was that ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Okay, But Only Lasted 1 Week.
I bought this wheel for 80 dollars at Circuit City, and to tell the truth it was a waste of my money. It is very bulky and it barely fit on my desk, and the racing just isn't realistic in my opinion. After one week (I took very good care of it) it just broke, stopped working. I reccomend you spend your money on something else.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Good for the money but...
Considering it is a fairly cheap wheel I suppose you get what you pay for;

It is sturdy but the pedals dont have a high enough resistance and IMO have too much travel in them.

The paddles are easy to reach but the other buttons are a little awkward and take some searching-for if you are in the heat of a moment.

The steering is EXTREMELY notchy, which for the game I play makes this wheel almost impossible to use with certain high powered rear wheel cars that are extremely ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good choice, but...
This wheel is good: it feels in hands more real than Logitech Wingman Force GP and MS SideWinder FF2. Buttons are comfortable; pedals are unusual, but works good and never slips on the floor.

But it has *big* problem - drivers (at least, for Win2k). After couple weeks of struggling I've returned it and have bought Logitech Momo Racing Wheel. And glad about that, MOMO is much better :)

Bottom line: really good wheel, but not for Win2k
