With the Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel, Wii users can finally enjoy a truly realistic driving experience. View larger. View side. View back.

The Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel for the Wii features: One-piece wireless design. Adjustable lap rest for table free comfort. Built-in gas and brake controls. Force feedback recreates bumps, crashes, and more.

A Great Combination
Part of the world's most popular racing franchise, Need for Speed: Undercover brings you break-neck cop chases and spectacular highway battles in a world of high-stakes and high-speed action with some of the world’s hottest cars. The all-new Heroic Driving Engine propels the action forward as players experience the dramatic story through spectacular Hollywood-style live-action in-game movies.

And what better way to experience all the action than with the full featured Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel. While Logitech has been a leader in the force-feedback industry since 1998, this is the first force feedback wheel for the Wii and paves the way for more exciting new racing titles on the Wii console.

High Performance with Comfort and Convenience
The Logitech's Speed Force Wireless Wheel is easy to set up and store and features a one-piece design that is convenient to use in any position. The gas and brake controls are built into the wheel itself, while the lap rest is both adjustable and expandable, making it comfortable even without a table or desk. Minimizing clutter by eliminating the console cable, Logitech's 2.4 GHz wireless technology lets you enjoy lag-free racing from up to 30 feet away. And all this comes with the intuitive Wii controls that make navigating game menus a breeze.

Standard controllers don't let you feel what you are doing, while vibration feedback and rumble technology just shake the controller. The force feedback system in the Wii Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel simulates directionally precise, tactile feedback so users feel the steering wheel move as it would when subjected to actual external forces. And with no mounting or assembly required, all you have to do to start racing is connect the USB receiver to your Wii console, plug in the wheel's power cord, get comfortable and let the race begin.

What's in the Box:
The Wii Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel, 2.4 GHz USB mini-receiver, AC power supply with a 12-foot cord, Quick-start guide, one-year limited hardware warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great with F1 2009, has analog gas and brake!, November 25, 2009

This is a quality wheel for the Wii. It's easy to setup, and I've used it with F1 2009 so far. One thing the product specs don't mention (or maybe I missed it) is that the gas and brake paddles behind the wheel are actually analog, which is fantastic! I expected them to be just on/off switches, but they have a good range of motion and are definitely analog, at least in F1 2009, and make car control that much better. I highly recommend this wheel, especially considering that you can buy a new one now for much less than the retail price. It doesn't work with all Wii driving games, but compatible ones I know about so far are F1 2009, Speed Zone, Dirt 2, Ferrari Challenge, and Need for Speed Undercover. I'll be trying all of them...

I haven't been able to actually use the wheel since I don't have any compatible games. That's where the problem lies. I heard that the wheel worked with Indy 500 and the Ferrari game. It does not work with either. I spent a LOT of time searching for a list of games that work and if that list exists I sure can't find it. The best list I've found on the net so far is one of the reviews on this page. There are only about 4 games that work with this and the only one I would be interested in is F1 but that lists for $104 at the time I wrote this. Logitech forums have no info on what games work or any useful info for that matter. Unless you have (or plan to buy) any of the games listed elsewhere in these reviews, I would stay away from this even at this super reduced price.

If you are buying one of the very few compatible games, this seems to be a very well built item. It's comfortable on the lap and has a nice force feedback.

In summary: If you are ok with the fact that this wheel only works with a few games it is a very good buy. If you aren't buying one of the very few compatible games than I would stay away from this. The fact that they are not carried on the logitch site basically means that the few games that work with it will be the ONLY games to ever work with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Control not enough games, May 21, 2010

This wii controller is far better for racing than just holding the wii controller in the air. The gas and brakes are analog (not just an on-off button). I use it with F1 2009, just wish it worked with other games like Mario Kart.
