2.0 out of 5 stars Not good enough., February 10, 2008

The biggest problem with this is that there is no hole for the Wiimote's strap to come out of the bottom - so you have to remove it to put the Wiimote into this wheel. If you don't - and try to force the Wiimote into it, you'll likely rub off some of the rubber padding on the inside of the Wiimote slot.

Also it's not very comfortable - at least of my hands. It seems like they made it upside down - like the open end should be the bottom, since that's where your hands really are so you can use the buttons on the Wiimote.

Overall, it's OK... but just that: "OK." I'd keep shopping if I were you.

When I first saw an ad for this product I thought it would be a standalone controller, complete with its own wireless, motion sensor, and need for batteries. All of this, of course, would make it very expensive, so I wondered why anyone would even think this is worth it. But thankfully, it is just an attachment for your regular Wii remote, making it only ten bucks new! It works great, and was easy to get used to, even if it doesn't really let me hold it the way I hold an actual steering wheel. I was never any good at the racing mini-games on my Warioware and Mario Party games (I don't actually own any racing games) because I found it really annoying to hold the remote in the driving configuration ("The Chauffeur" position in Warioware). Although it's inconvenient to use and switch around for mini-games, it definitely helped, and at 10 dollars it still felt worth it. If you play a lot of motion sensing racing games, I'd say that this is undoubtedly worth it, since it erases the awkwardness and inconvenience of holding the Wii remote by the edges.


EDIT: I now see that the price has gone up and the product is no longer available directly from amazon. This changes my opinion of this product quite a bit. For 10 bucks it was quite a bargain. I don't know if I would pay 25+ dollars for this add-on. People thinking of buying a racing wheel for Wii might want to wait for the official one that's coming out with the next Mario Kart game. Anyway, it's up to you.

If you've played any of the WII racing games you'll know they are very sensitive to movement. A steering wheel with a base would have been a better choice.
