3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth that much money, September 4, 2002

(Instead), You can get an S-Type controller!
I bought this one cause I was curious. The vibration function isn't the best in the world to say the least. It has only one vibrate mode. Either its vibrating or it isn't. Even subtle bumps have huge vibrations.

Also, while its vibrating the buttons clatter. This is VERY annoying!

The steering mechanism in itself is quite responsive. The analog feel is definitely there.

comfort is okay

2.0 out of 5 stars Its okay for the price, June 10, 2003

There are clearly better wheels available if you want to spend the money, but for the price, this one is okay.

It is a little difficult to get used to, but once you do it drives okay. It has better sensitivty then a normal analog thumb-stick, but not as much as a higher-end wheel.

As soon as you hold it you can tell it doesn't have the construction quality of other controllers. One faulty bit of design, the springs that re-center the wheel depend on small plastic knobs (with a screw through the middle) inside the controller. If you turn the wheel too hard you can break the plastic knobs and lose the spring back to center.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really lousy controller, May 23, 2003

Don't buy this controller! I bought this to try to see
if it is as good as the company that made it claim it to be.
The innovative design and concept will attract you but
at the end of the day you want a controller that let you
drive your car properly.
I realise this is a very bad controller, first of all using the
microsoft normal controller is much better than this so
called "pro racer" controller. The degree you can turn the
steering wheel is so small, such that by just turning a bit
you car will turn wide and skid.
You will not be able to make fine driving adjustments,
which is what you need if you want to enjoy a driving game.
Well, I have really wasted by money buying this and feel
like throwing it away. "sign", but I did not know at first.
And I have no opportunity to try it out at the shop.
