I bought two of these wheels last month and I'm about to order 2 more (I'm setting up a little company picnic racing rally). I played Midnight Run II (windows) with these wheels and didn't experience the force feedback either. However, when I played NASCAR 3 with these wheels, then I got vibrations in the steering wheel when taking turns too tight, but nothing when bumping the wall or another car. The force feedback amounts to a 'humming' vibration and is actually annoying. btw - there's an option in NASCAR 3 you have to turn on for the force feedback to work. The force feedback was just a 'nice' feature for me, but I really got it for the USB connection and table top design. I have a couple of the Interact V3 racing wheels and their 'sit nestled between your legs' design is awkward to deal with and it's too tall to effectively use them on a table. But the LogiTech wheels work great on a table top! The LogiTech connectors are a little more reliable too. The pin connector housing on the V3 snapped off pretty easily on one of the wheels. However, I do prefer V3's full size pedals to the LogiTech smaller pedals... but it's satisfactory.

The relatively inexpensive, well-designed Logitech Nascar wheel and pedals are ANALOG, a MUST for racing games like Need for Speed. Analog potentiometers slide along infinite voltage points between turn-left or right. The wheel suction cups hold snugly for a standard desktop. The pedals tend to slip slightly and may be at a slightly awkward angle, but can easily be mounted to a small, inexpensive piece of hardboard or plywood, or car floormat. You could also design a 1x2 wood slide-into-place framework. The twenty-dollar "Try Me" wheel I returned was DIGITAL (full turn-left or right), as ineffective as using keyboard arrow keys.

This wheel does the job. It's not super fancy but you still get the driving experience. Enjoy!

This is the best thing i have done the wheel works with every racing game .

I purchased this product for my 3 yr old. He loves it and it works with most of his computer games to my surprise. It did not come with instructions, so we're having to self teach ourselves the features. Surprisingly, I can't get the vibration feature to work with his Nascar game and this is a Nascar race wheel. The vibration works for his SpongeBob game???

Overall it was OK, but this wheel does not have force feedback. I wasn't sure if "vibration feedback" was the same...it's not. There is no power plug in...just USB.

I have not previously owned a game wheel, but this one is very nice. I have been extremely happy with it, not finding any problems with my it on my PC, to include NFSUG I & II as well as a couple of other driving/racing games. The problem the other fellow spoke of it not working with these is probably due to a lack of updated drivers, but once you get those, (easy to find, too :) it is a dream of a wheel. It does not have that "tight" feel of a real automobile, but still all in all a great wheel for the amateur racer who doesn't need it to feel "real" to still enjoy racing with it.
I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because I could not get it to work correctly with my PS2 even though it says it is compatible with all machine types. Perhaps I did something wrong? I couldn't get it to respond well, when it did respond at all.
Overall a very good wheel. Well worth the money spent.

I liked this steering wheel with the pedals but the only downside was that when I was using the pedals they moved into a different position. A side from that it was great, it had easy to use software,it was easy to use, and it connected into a USB port on the computer with no other plug.

I bought this for my kids to use with Nascar Racing. Controls are easily reprogramable. Nice product for the money.

I'm very satisfied with the product. It works great for Need For Speed Shift and Monster Jam games. I highly recommend this product.
