I own a business with 12 PC simulators in an LAN running Nascar Racing 2003 season, so I've seen lots of wheels in the last 5 years. Starting with the PROS: The price was good, solid feel, pedals are comfortably apart from each other, lots of force/resistance. CONS: noisy (squeaks), small diameter wheel and the deal breaker *** The buttons cannot be assigned to keyboard commands *** There are only drivers for windows, no actual programming software. I used Saitek wheels (no longer available) for years, have (2) Logitech G-25's (not cost effective) and have since moved on to the Logitech Driving Force GT (Stellar Wheel). This wheel may be good for newer games that all the commands are not linked to keyboard strokes but doesn't work for my needs.

Great wheel! Bought to play for iracing.com sim and it works perfect. Requires a little caliberation, but it does caliberate itself...kind of weird because the wheel moved by itself when it did but it was cool. Works perfect and I love it!

I purchased this wheel and pedals specifically for GT5. When I opened the box I was VERY pleased with what I found! The wheel and pedals look and feel great! No complaints there, but. . .I can't get the thing to work with GT5! I'm not sure it's supported as it is not listed among others in the settings menu. If you're planning on playing some other PS3 title, make sure you validate the compatability prior to purchasing.

This is the first steeding wheel, Clutch, cotroler that I have ever purchaced. It is very impressive. The clutch works great, if you set it up correctly. The steering wheel is the best settup that I have ever had with the NASCAR 2003 Papyrus sim. I have ever had! It is a great experience!!!!

Well, it's a cheap wheel, if you compare to the top ones, like G27. But cheap should not be such a bad quality one! It doesn't work as I expected. It has a low response, doesn't work on 5 axis mode on most of the games, and attention... the pedals are NOT aluminium, as the ad says, but average plastic! It was a bad choice for me!

I had a Logitech G25, and it broke... Could not afford a G27 so this was recommended by a friend! Let me tell you, it is awesome! The force feedback is great too! The only drawback is...which isn't serious.... is the wheel has a small diameter to it... Also it is listed as having aluminum petals, it does not!

I got this wheel a few months ago and I have to say that I am very pleased with it!
It took a little bit of tweaking to get the force feedback to work correctly with NFS Shift, but after that the force feedback is very realistic.
The pedals are okay, but the base keeps sliding around on the floor. Given that the brake pedal is a little stiff, having the base slide around is a little bit of an issue.
I haven't tried the shifter knob in any games yet, but it feels like it would work well.
Overall this is a great wheel for the price and I think it is comparable to a few lower model Logitechs.

I've played GTR2, GT Legends, Dirt, Dirt 2 Race '07, GTR Evolutions, R Factor and, Formula F1 2010 it has enhanced all of them. The clutch and shift options have brought the games up a notch. The Logitech G25; G27 are pricey. So let me finish by saying save your money for another game or put it toward an SLI setup

I had high hopes for this wheel. A good racing wheel for half the price of the most of the others is what I wanted.
What I got was much more disappointing. The Wheel worked great for a little over 30days. I recently had purchased iRacing and wanted a cheap way to use some good force feedback.
The wheel worked great at first.
Then the screws that hold the wheel to the base came out. All four at the same time. I figured it would be a simple fix, pop the face plate off and screw the thing back down.
No it doesn't work that way. There is a bundle of wires that run from the base into the wheel. When I gingerly pulled the wheel from the base, some of the wires pulled out.
There is no way to fix this. First the sequential shifter stopped working, then the pedals which are attached stopped working.
I am out 100 bucks for being cheap and not buying the Fanatec wheel to begin with.
Lesson learned. Stay away from this wheel. It simply is not worth the money.

I bought mines from Newegg.com its more worth it to buy it there because its only $80.00 and shipping is free. but overall its an awesome wheel i used it for live for speed, mafia, gta san andreas, need for speed and it worked. you just need to know how to configure it to the game, newegg.com can save you moreon shipping and price only $80
