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.

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.

Does not work with Nascar 2011! Be warned, this wheel is junk. Only one game, according to Logitech support, works with this wheel. Need For Speed: Undercover. This wheel has also gone out of production, so Amazon is helping to get rid of the garbage for cheap. Don't get taken!

This Wii steering wheel made by Logitech is the greatest thing for racing games on the Wii! The only problem is it only works on 3 racing games that i know of. My favorite is the Need for Speed Undercover game by EA it makes this game so much fun to play!

I highly recommend this product!

Boutght NFS Nitro and NFS Underground with this wheel. It only works with NFS underground. Wheel instructions say that an update for the wii may allow it to be used with more games. I do not have network connection for the wii so I cannot say if that fixes it or not for use with other games. for use with NFS Underground set up was easy (just plug USB receiver into wii and wheel into wall socket). The wheel's forced feedback adds dramatic realism to the gaming experience. I would recommend it. I only give it three stars though because it only seems to work with certain games.

According to logitech's website it's designed to work EXCLUSIVELY with Need for Speed: Undercover. It DOES NOT WORK with most racing titles; Logitech's website even states: "Early Wii games, like Mario Kart and Excite Truck, were not programmed with this wheel in mind, and they will not see your Speed Force Wireless even if it is connected."

I bought this thing because my son likes mario kart and keeps wanting to use my xbox 360 racing wheel with it. Thought this might provide the best of both worlds. Boy was I wrong. That certified for Wii sticker really doesn't mean much I guess. My xbox wheel works with EVERY xbox racing game. Apparently my expectations are two high that a game controller should actually be universally compatible with the system it was designed for.

I love this wheel. It is very durable, has force feedback, but the only thing is it only workes with a few games. Because of this it only gets 3 stars. I use it with Need For Speed: Undercover. If you have this game then the wheel is very worth it! Otherwise you may want to consider another product for the wii or get Need For Speed: Undercover.

I bought this at a great price so no big deal if some games did not work. It works for sure with Dirt 2. It does NOT work with Indy 500 or Need For Speed Nitro. It should work with newer releases since the introduction of this wheel, for instance the new Nascar Racing game soon to be released. The Logitech sites do not post up to date info on game compatibility.

I sets up easy enough. Power up the Wii, plug in the power supply for the wheel and plug in the usb receiver, push the button on the receiver to sync to the wheel, then open your game. If the game supports the wheel you should be able to control most selections from the wheel.

The two best attributes are the variable throttle paddle and brake paddle and the force feedback. Not as strong as the more expensive wheels but pretty real.

This wheel only works for a very few select games. Of course not the game I bought, whuch really ticks me of because I only bought it because Amazon reccomended I pair them together. Stupid me, cause it does not work on the Need for speed Hot pursuit game I purchased with it.
