Wii Nerf Racing Wheel

by PDP

Product Features

• Soft NERF foam improves your grip and turning ability, helping you complete the course in record time. So you can get to your next race that much faster.
• The comfort is unmatched; you can still have a comfortable grip even after hours of racing games. That's right - we know just how long you play.
• The Wii remote snaps quickly in and out of the wheel so you can easily move between your racing games and the rest of your Wii library. You do play some other games, right? There's more to life than racing; or not?
• Your Wii remote is 100% functional inside the wheel, with full access to all buttons and the infrared receiver. No more excuses now.

Product Description

Color: Red

How can you tear up the track without this wheel? At PDP we really see no way to play Mario Kart or any other Wii racing game without the NERF racing wheel in your hands. Made of soft NERF foam, just like all those footballs you lobbed at your little brother when you were a kid (how much do you hate it that he’s bigger and taller than you now, BTW?). Sure, you can play the games with just your Wii remote, but the NERF wheel attachment gives the game the realism in the turns that will help you take the checkered flag every game. Take that, “little” brother.

5.0 out of 5 stars very comfortable, even with a bad hand!, March 27, 2010

I didn't think I'd be able to play the driving games on the Wii because I have a badly arthritic hand with nerve damage. This nice plump steering wheel, with the awesome Nerf padding, really allows me to play with the rest of the family. I don't have to grip it tightly like the thinner wheels, and it gives enough that it doesn't put pressure on my hands at all.

I should also mention that the kids like the Nerf wheels better, too. I see from some of the other reviews that others have had problems, but that hasn't been our experience at all. The price is so cheap, too, that I'd recommend giving them a try, particularly if you have any issues with your hands and still want to play a little.

Oh, and another tip, if you have hand problems at all, is to put pillows under your elbows for support. It helps a lot! Hope this helps someone. :)

I'll make this short and sweet. Like Mrs. Poppins, it's practically perfect in every way so I'll just tell you how it isn't because that would be faster.

-Unlike the Nintendo version, this one blocks off some of the pointer's mobility (I have the sensor at the bottom and this might affect it, I don't know). This isn't a big problem because you can use the D-pad on the Wiimote for anything you might want to point at
-It smells awful! My wife won't use it because it smells so bad. One would think they could have washed it or something.
-The B button is a little bit trickier to hit than on Nintendo's wheel.

I would recommend it to players as a good alternative to the cold hard plastic that Nintendo offers. My wife hates it and would not.

2.0 out of 5 stars Failure To Communicate, August 22, 2010

After only a few minutes, we knew we had to return this item. For racing purposes, the wheel is just fine. However, as you know, you still have to access menus and make selections before and after the race. Because of a design flaw in the wheel, the Wii remote has difficulty communicating with the sensor bar while it's inserted into the wheel. The on screen pointer will be visible on the bottom half of the screen but as you try to move it to the top half, it disappears, preventing you from selecting anything on that part of the screen. It was very evident, very quickly that this wheel would not work. We did not want to have to take the Wii remote out of the wheel every time we needed to make a selection on screen. I replaced the Nerf wheel with the Nintendo Wii wheel and have had no issues. Usually, I like the Nerf stuff. Here, they've designed a wheel for form over function.
