Отзывы о Комплект Logitech Driving Force GT

Hello there,This is for the Logitech Driving Force Gt steering wheel. I have purchased this to play Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3. I have used it almost everyday for a month now. I must say that the force feedback is great and when it is put to max in the preferences, it feels very stiff until you get used to it. I have it mounted to a TV tray at the moment and when trying to drift,the force feed back does lift the tray off the floor on occasion when counter steering quickly. I recommend making a base or finding a sturdy table to use.Noise- It is noisy as you can hear the motor turning with the wheel. Not so much as to overpower the sound of the TV, but if someone is trying to sleep in the next room it may keep/wake them up as it happened to me with my angered girlfriend telling me to turn the game off.Design flaw that I was talking about seems to be with all the pedal assemblies. GT5 is very sensitive and the potentiometers in the brake pedal may "stick" when you lift off the brake. You do not have your foot on the pedal, but it shows that you are braking still in the game which will slow you down quite a bit. you have to use your foot to lift the pedal up to un-stick it. The problem is all over the internet if you search for it. The fix involves taking apart the pedal assembly which is 9 unhidden screws and tightening the spade connectors that have came loose. Some people put a small piece of rubber insulation over the spring end as well. This can also be found online. I have tightened up the connectors in mine and it did come back again, so I redid it and it has not come back so far. For only having it a month I was a little disappointed. But I am not going to warranty it because it is not hard to fix and I like taking things apart :).Overall impressions is that it is worth the money in my opinion despite the design flaw. I know it greatly enhanced my fun factor. If you do not want to spend the $120 on it, you can try the HKS PS3 controller that is the same price as a normal PS3 controller, but has thumb slides for the steering, gas, and brake pedals. Cheaper for more precision than a six axis controller for driving games.

Haven't tried it with any other game but it rocks with GT5. My initial impression was it felt too fake and unrealistic, I was also worried about the annoying noise it makes on the YouTube videos I saw. Well once you are playing you don't even realize that noise when you turn against the motor. The feel becomes very realistic when you get used to it and it makes the game much much better than with just a controller. I definitely recommend it to anyone that plays GT5 and loves driving.

Logitech Driving Force GT (DFGT) Wheel and Pedal SetEvaluated on the PC platform with SimBin's GTR2, Race07 WTCC, and GTR Evolution.I missed out on the opportunity to test these in the Vine program only because Logitech did not post any information indicating this pedal set would work properly on the PC platform. I am a heavy PC racing sim player and had been looking for a wheel/pedal set for GTR2, Race07, and GTR Evolution. So the bottom line is that I actually paid for this setup and did not evaluate via the Vine program. I confirmed the DFGT is compatible with the PC!Logitech's packaging is very attractive and obviously design-oriented for the customer experience. The wheel assembly and pedals are packaged with care and all you really need is an AC power brick and a free USB port. I didn't have a free USB port on my PC, so I bought a Belkin 4-port mobile USB hub, which did not result in any connectivity issues with the DFGT. The pedal assembly takes up little space and works with my desk setup.The wheel measures 10.75" in diameter, very small compared to the steering wheel on a real car, and it is made of injection molded plastic/vinyl/rubber. I don't buy that it is rubber because it feels like the stiff but grippy plastic they use on dashboards. There are a number of buttons on the wheel, including two on the back that can be used as "paddle shifters." The "paddles" are nothing more than plastic covering two switches. The plastic hinge is part of the wheel itself, so I am not sure how durable they are. Given that the DFGT was designed for the PS3 GT5 gamers, I'd imagine it would have to endure a severe amount of punishment for such a mainstream game and console system. The sequential shifter feels very flimsy with an audible click in each position. The switches feel like the same ones used in most PC mice. I have gone through half a dozen Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer mice because the switches started double/triple-tapping on me, so I can imagine the sequential shifter having a finite lifespan. Funny story about the double/triple tapping is that I could use those mice to make pistols almost fully automatic in games like Rainbow Six 3 without any cheating.There is a brake pedal and a throttle pedal. There is slightly more resistance with the brake pedal which is positioned at a steeper angle than the lighter throttle pedal. It is easy to use for heel-toe downshifting, except there's no clutch pedal. The DFGT pedal assembly is significantly better than the G25 pedal in terms of ergonomics. I found my size 12 feet would hit the throttle and brake pedal simultaneously with the G25. With the DFGT pedals, there's enough spacing and a difference in angle to prevent this. In most street-legal cars, the brake and throttle are spaced far apart with very different angles (brake pedal sits higher, all the time) to prevent applying the throttle while applying the brakes. Sports cars and race cars have different configurations for obvious reasons. The pedal set lacks carpet grippers so they will slide around (unfortunately). Luckily for me, I found that I could jam them against my desk and not have it interfere with the pedal positions. This also gave me a comfortable driving position that wasn't obtainable with the G25 due to how the G25 places the pedals.To use the DFGT on the PC, simply download Logitech's Wingman Profiler software and select the Driving Force Pro settings. You will lose quite a few buttons: the "GT" horn button, the +/- selector, the "PS", the Return key and the red rotary switch. The "GT" glows dimly white and is almost unnoticeable. Logitech could have used a much brighter white LED to give it a better effect.You can select up to 900 degrees of rotation with the steering wheel, although I prefer about 540* in most games. In Race 07 and GTR Evolution, it is recommended that you select a steering configuration that gives you a steering ratio of about 15:1, or 540* of wheel rotation with 18* of in-game steering lock, or 900* of wheel rotation with 30* of in-game steering lock. The Force Feedback is decent although it does not transmit the same feeling I'd get in a real car, but it's close enough.Doing some research, I found that Logitech used lessons learned from the G25 to develop the DFGT and it definitely shows in both the wheel and pedals. Granted, the G25 has a better paddle shifter setup, better quality pedals, and a 6-speed gated shifter, the DFGT improves on the wheel and pedals and Logitech was able to sell the DFT at less than ? the price of the G25.Pros: Less expensive than the G25, more ergonomic pedals, more buttons on the steering wheel, same 900* of wheel rotation, and easy to setup on the PC platform.Cons: Pedals feel cheap - although the throttle is the same design as the drive-by-wire throttle in my car down to the single zytel nylon throttle assembly. Paddle "shifters" feel cheap. Sequential shifter feels flimsy and easy to break.Overall: You get what you pay for, but it's the

Its not the best wheel, but for the money its a great deal. Some people have had problems with it but ive had none. It was mad for GT 5. But i use it for F1 2011, and it works great. You got alot of buttons to program. Also u can adjust alot of control for feedback, brake and gas sensativity, amd all the buttons to your likeing. Ive had a blast driving with this wheel, it makes you feel like your driving in the race instead of driving with the controler. Hope this helps you.

This is a great product! I love racing games, and anyone who considers himself a serious racing games player should get one of this and see how much it will improve your experience. For casual gamers is also a lot more fun and easier to get use to a wheel and pedals than to sticks and analog triggers.The learning curve is not hard at all, GT5 was a little more difficult at the beginning because you have to turn the wheel a lot in hairpins, but the control in small movements is awesome, much more accurate than you can hope to achieve with your PS3 controller.I have used it in both PC and PS3, on the PS3 it's just plug and play, no setup required. For PC you have to setup Logitech's drivers.I have used this Wheel in F1 2010 for PC and GT5 and F1 2011 for PS3, it works great on both systems and I've had lots of fun with this nice controller. Of course you can always get yourself the Logitech G27 with 6 speeds gear shifter, gas, break and clutch pedal but it's a lot more expensive, it surely worth every cent but if you're on a limited budget this wheel is great quality and less expensive.

This wheel is the best one that I have ever had! There may be more expensive and better ones out there, but if you want something that is reasonably priced and fun to occasionally use look no further. Whenever I play gt5 I have to use this, it makes the game so much more fun and much more intense, the only thing that I would say is to make sure that you have a good place to set it up and sit so that it is as comfortable as possible.

This is a good steering wheel, but the brake pedal needs adjustment, took them apart and in the grooves where the springs seat put a piece of rubber material (about 4mm) to increase the tension and this eliminated two problems, the sticky brake pedal and the clacking noise, gas pedal was fine but I put rubber there too and feels better.What I do not like is the Force Feedback, I did not like it before when I had the original Logitech (black and blue) and on this new one I thought it was going to be better but no luck, tried all the adjustments, from 1 to 10, power steering on-off but it does not feel right to me, so when I start the game (GT5) plug it to calibrate and then unplug it, other people like it, but in the end it is a good product that needs a bit of tweeking.

Bring back the action to gt5... enjoy 900 degree of rotation... force feed back... and more!Super fun, I love it.p.s. this is 110 volt input.

as far as the steering wheel goes, it's pretty awesome. makes any racing game a blast to play and more enjoyable and rewarding. all the buttons feels good, and mechanically it works well (the force feedback makes some noise, and rumbles if you crash. but if you've played at an arcade, it happens there too).a main concern is finding a set up to play on: table, chair, and tv position. putting the wheel on a folding table won't really cut it, as the table will tip side to side when your taking turns. you'll need to find a table that is weighted well at the base, and has a wide width to be rigid to take lateral forces. If you have some sense of car physics (which you might seeing your buying this steering wheel), you might understand this idea of low center of gravity, wide track, and rigidity of the car makes for good handling. same applies to the table.there are many tutorials on building a stand for the wheel. these make good sense because you can design it according to the seat you'll be playing in, because once you find a good table to set it up on, you better hope the seat your playing it gives you a comfortable height relative the the steering wheel and the tv.my set up right now is a c-table, i placed the pedals on the base so i can use the force from my feet to weigh it down (i plan to add weight to it still). it still sways left and right, but i think its more about the rigidity of the table, which i plan to find solutions to, but it also sways because of it's narrow width. it's also pretty tall in respect to the tallest chair i own, the steering wheel is almost at eye level. thankfully my t.v. is set up pretty high on top of my drawers, or this would have been another problem.The product itself is great. for the price your paying it makes any racing game a lot more fun, controls are top notch. the only problem is finding a setup adequate to create a comfortable driving position. this takes a large effect to how enjoyable this wheel is, and the price point if you consider paying for a set up.

Just received it, and thinking finally can play with it, however, the ac adapter is blow up when i plug it into the power, it's kind of scary,please check it before you send out next time...

I bought this wheel to use on my computer to race on rfactor. It arrived a day ahead of the first estimated delivery date. I was very happy about that. Packaging was Perfect no dents no smashed corners nothing of that nature. Wheel set up easy out of the box basicly plug and play, hooked up the forcefeed back into the wall and plugged the petals into the wheel and the wheel into the USB port onto the back of my computer. Nice and easy once you install the disk onto your computer. It's good wheel once you get the hang of it and once you set up your profile and sensitivities up right. The force feed back of the wheel makes it a little loud but other than that not too bad at all. I would recommend this product it's nice first wheel

This is one of most realistic driving wheel controller, have an excelent feedback response that make you feel like in a real car, automatic or semi-automatic transition... sit on your living room, put your seat belt, turn on you Logitech PlayStation 3 Driving Force GT Racing Wheel and have some fun... it worth being bought

If you buy this wheel, you have got to get the driving game called Test Drive Unlimited 2. The wheel works great with this game and it's almost hard to exit out because it is so much fun to play. It isn't quite as good as Grand Turismo because it has a limited car selection starting out in the game but is still a bang to play. If you're good with the NASCAR games then you will smoke the competition in the road race challenges and championship runs. Some of the older driving game's engine work on 32 bit drivers. There are some Windows 7 laptops that have 32 and 64 bit drivers that will use either one that is needed. I don't advise gaming on a laptop but the wheel can read either the 32 bit or 64 bit drivers. There are several games that are compatible with this wheel (including the older NASCAR games) and most of all, it can be used on a PC or a PlayStation. Have lots of fun driving!

With Gran Turismo 5 coming out, I thought it appropriate to invest in a steering wheel. My mind was split between the g27 and the GT wheel. I had a chance to play with the G27, and the clutch/6speed shifter was an absolute joy to play with. The g27's shifter was smooth and fluid-a little loose compared to a real car, but it did the job with a lot of realism when coupled with the clutch. The reason why I did not purchase the G27 was it's $200 dollar price over the GT. $300 dollars for a wheel is a bit steep so unless you are a die hard sim fan of racing, the GT will do the job just fine. Since Gran Turismo 5 is not out yet, I got to play with my wheel with Need for speed shift. I had trouble finding a small and sturdy desk that would fit the clamps on the bottom. The clamps are adjustable, but let it be known that you need some sort of desk no thicker than about 1.3 inches otherwise the wheel will not clamp down. Once I got something to clamp it down on, I set up the pedals below me and started her up. I got into my Lotus, and hit the track. The force feed back (although depending on which game you play) on the wheel works very well. The slap shifter clicks nicely and feels like a slap shifter you'd find in many of todays real cars. The paddle shifters could be larger, but they get the job done. The feel of the wheel is very nice for the money and I never find myself losing grip of the wheel. The Pedals work nicely also. The gas pedal has significantly less resistance than the brake which adds a nice touch of realism. The spikey things that hold the pedals on your carpet work nicely...more or less...and the spiky things are retractable so if you do have a wood floor, you wont scratch it up. Over all the wheel/pedals worked absolutely to the level I expected and I have incredible amounts of fun using it with my Sim racing games. I seriously feel like I'm driving a real car. I got mine for $99.99, a steal at that-and well worth it. Highly recommend for semi-hardcore fans of sim race games. If you aren't going to be using it more than once a week, use your money elsewhere.

I found the Logitech Playstation 3 Driving Force GT Racing Wheel to be an impressive driving accessory. However, it is made to work with Playstation's Gran Turismo, and I have to say that the game does not stand up to SimuRide Home Edition for realism. The wheel is great in that you feel the bumps and vibrations of the road, but I believe I would have enjoyed it far more with a different game. Overall, the wheel is cumbersome and awkward, and not at all user friendly. It seemed the trouble it took to get the wheel set up and stable so I could use it was not worth the time.

Ok, I have to say that at first playing with the wheel it was uncomfortable, I was crashing everywhere, spinning around it was a disaster I was having mix feelings about it and besides that I was having it mounted on a weak table. I wanted to return it. But then I build a stronger table and mounted it there - HUGE difference. And then I was able to control it without a problem and was getting better and better driving and I'm loving it now!!! Wouldn't go back with the controller!Let me say that if you think you would improve your results with this wheel... mm no you won't be able. It is more difficult simply because it is more realistic. There is no way I can reach the results done with the controller. You just can't rotate the wheel as fast as you can control the analog buttons. Drifting - forget it, unless you want to try to brake the wheel or the table by forcing it too much.Other than that it is so realistic, I'm telling you, you can feel every bump on the road, even when the tires are not having grip on the road you will feel the wheel loose.Great product for the money! Get it, mount it (on a stronger table), race as never before! :)

I got this about 5 weeks ago during a lightning deal for 89.99 so keep that in mind. It shipped in about 2 days and I had it in another 2 so about 4 days in all from order placement to setup. Box was in excellent condition, no dings or anything and all wires etc. were included, nothing was missing.The parts are the main wheel assembly and shifter (1 piece and cannot be separated like the G25 wheel also from Logitech), the brake and gas pedals and power block. Lots of wires, one from the main wheel assembly to the power block, 1 from power block to wall plug(obviously :P ), wire from pedals to main wheel assembly, and finally from wheel assembly to PS3.The wheel attaches to the edge of a table (end table in my case) via 2 clamps that screw down and lock the assembly in place. They look like C clamps and they hold it down fairly securely but when you go through some unruly courses with a lot of tight turns, its a good idea to check how securely the wheel is fastened after every race. :)The wheel is a joy to use with GT5 Prologue and presumably with the full version GT5 when it comes out early next year '09. The forcefeedback is very strong but can be adjusted as well as a myriad of other settings that are designed specifically for GT5 like brake balance ratio between front and back, power steering force and slew of other settings that I can't remember off hand right now (at work here). What is REALLY nice though is that you can access all these settings during the actual racing and tweak them on the fly without having to pause the race, jump through a bunch of menus, changing a setting, going back to the race, testing the setting to see if its where you want it to be etc.The force feedback motor is strong and gives great feedback. You feel the forces when for e.g. a driver slams into you from behind or from the side and tries to push you out of the way, when the tires hit the side of the road and the wheels go over the checkered, raised edge of the track(you get that thump, thump, thump, thump in the steering wheel) , when you turn at high speeds but the car wants to keep going forward so you get that tug on the wheel etc.There's also a shifter on the righthand side that is basically a toggle switch that moves up and down. You push it up and release and it goes back to the middle to shift up a gear(or shift down, you can change it in the settings) and vice versa.There are also paddle shifters on the actual steering wheel on the right and left hand side that can be used for shifting, and that's what I use mostly when racing with a manual transmission.The wheel really makes GT5 a joy to play.The pedal block has studded tack that flips out on the bottom to hold the pedal block in place on carpets and it works very wheel. The pedal block stays in place and is very secure even with very aggressive 'pedal to the metal' type racing approach.A quick warning though, if you've never used wheels before and just used a controller like me, the wheel might be a little frustrating in the beginning. It takes a while to unlearn the all or nothing button mashing. The gas and brake pedals behave very realistically and are linear. So coming into turns you can ease up on the gas and or feather the brakes to make controlled turns like a real driver would but in the beginning I found myself using the commando all or nothing approach and just mashing down the gas and brakes. Once you acclimate and get into the groove of things though, its just an amazing experience.I have also used the wheel with the GRiD and BurnOut Paradise demo's (GT5 Prologue is the only full featured racing game I have) and the results were ok but not as smooth as with GT5 which is expected since this wheel was made and designed specifically for the GranTourismo series.The wheel was satisfactory in BurnOut Paradise but you will need a LOT of tweaking to get it to work in GRiD (at least the demo for sure). The wheel is just waaaaaaaaay too sensitive and so the majority oif the tweaking is to get the dead zone for the wheel, brake and gas pedals right. Once you do though, it works just fine. Just make sure to turn off 900 degree wheel turns setting (or something to that effect) so you don't have to turn the wheel over one rotation to make sharp turns. Thats why it becomes too sensitive. If you leave the 900 degree setting (whatever its called) on then turning becomes ridiculously unwieldy.I know I've rambled on and on, but I hope that I have at least painted a somewhat useful picture of what to expect from this package both in actual use and game performance. If you have questions post them in the comments area and I'll try to answer to the best of my ability (assuming Amazon notifies you via email when someone leaves a comment on a review you've posted).Cheers.

The Logitech Driving Force GT is a very decent wheel to use for Gran Turismo 5. It has force feed back with a single motor, the sequential shifter next to the steering wheel was perfectly positioned, and the adjustment dial was very useful in changing driving settings on the fly.My only gripes with the wheel are that there seem to be some "Dead Spots" when using the force-feed back. The delivery isn't very linear at some times and it feels a little cheap. I supposed it's because it uses only one motor to delivery the force feedback. That one motor by the way is pretty noisy when you turn on the unit or even when you have to make a sudden correction while racing. Also the pedals are quite sensitive to the touch, I don't know if it's a bad thing for some people, but for me, I didn't care for it.I do recommend this product for a racer on a budget or to the "casual" sim driver. If you're serious though (like I consider myself to be), go for something nicer like the Logitech G27 or even the Mack-Daddy T500RS from Thrustmaster.

I've owned Logitech DFGT for about a month or so now. I've been using it to play Gran Turismo 5, and I've probably put in 40 hours or so on the wheel. This is the first wheel I've owned. I purchased it from Amazon on sale for $99. As I saw suggested on another forum, I have the wheel mounted to a Rigid flip top portable work support (available from Home Depot, ~$30), slightly modified to prevent movement on the top of the surface.Initial Impressions: The force feedback was stronger than expected. It is mechanically, very solid. It has less 'play' in it than expected. When the system is booted or the game is started, the wheel will rotate through it full range of motion to calibrate. It is very loud during this calibration. Overall, a reasonable experience. I knew I was buying something "cheap", but I was pleasantly surprised. The mounting brackets on the wheel don't have a lot of clearance, so the wheel can not be mounted to anything very thick.After 1 month ownership: The pedals (as the rest of the unit), are plastic, and I do wonder how they will hold up in the long term. The pedals do grasp the carpet pretty well and do not move much at all under normal play. As suggested by professional reviewers, the wheel is somewhat noisy, but I'm not bothered during play. The shifter has nearly zero travel to bump to different gears. I find that ergonomically its difficult to use. It would be nice if it was detachable perhaps? I've been amazed at the amount of information I get back from the wheel during play - I don't know if this is up to the game, or the wheel, but I'm impressed. For an inexpensive way to get the most out of racing games, the DFGT seems the way to go. No real complaints here.I gave it 4/5 because I would appreciate slightly better materials, a quieter motor, a detachable shifter, and larger clamps. For the price though, it is probably a 5/5.

Summary [8.5 out of 10]====================================The Logitech Driving Force GT PS3 Wheel is an excellent driving wheel with a good build quality at a solid price point that will satisfy any casual or avid racer. Unfortunately not every game makes correct or full use of driving wheels, but the ones that do (e.g. Gran Turismo 5) create a surreal driving experience that will satisfy any driving fan.For the purist that must reproduce the true racing experience in his or her house, we would still suggest the Logitech G25; it is, however, more than twice the price of the Driving Force GT.What's in the Box?====================================It's a good sized box, about the size of a Logitech 2.1 PC speaker package. As shown on the box there was an instruction booklet, pedals and wheel (with integrated shifter).What I was really surprised to find in the box, and it might have been a toss-in for some promotion because I don't see it mentioned on Logitech's site, was a full copy of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. If you already have it, then use this copy (if you get one) as a gift I suppose. If you didn't have a copy, you will be so freaking happy they included one, it does the wheel justice while other games don't:After spending time with this wheel and especially Gran Turismo 5, I would have to say that you cannot review a driving wheel, or al teast this driving wheel, without having a copy of Gran Turismo 5 to test with. The experience is so much better with GT than it is with other "arcade" racers that it's a night-and-day difference. More on that later though under "Driving Experience".For anyone that has used a force-feedback wheel in the past 10 years, I think the form factor of these things has always been the same. A life-sized steering wheel attached to a tapered base that is fastened to a table or desk of some kind using clamps or grips of some kind; this is very similar:As you can see the steering wheel reproduces all of the 17 or so buttons you find on a standard PS3 controller. The red wheel and "enter" button on the bottom right can be used for navigation and confirmation as well as in-game adjustments for games that support it (like Gran Turismo 5).I'm not sure what the split-circle +/- does on the bottom left, I never got it to really do anything in any games.In addition to the full-sized wheel the base unit includes an integrated shifter. The shifter doesn't have much play up or down as it behaves more like those auto-shifters (flappers) you find on some higher end cars that let you drive in automatic or shift automatically if you want. It just clicks up or down as you are driving and a spring re-centers it when you let go. It doesn't click "up" or "down" into position like a gear shifter, it's more of a toggle action.Of course you have your pedal plate. I'm a size 11.5" and the plate felt like a nice size, sturdy, good resistence on the brake and gas and my foot never fell off it or slipped off. It's a perfect size.I did find that the pedals stood upright a bit too vertical, so sitting in a chair and playing, my foot was always cocked up when I was off the gas or break. This made switching from gas to brake with 1 foot uneasy for me and I ended up driving with both feet instead; I just couldn't flip from gas and then cock my foot up enough to clear the brake as I moved it over to the left to push it back down. What ended up happening is that the side of my foot would hit the break as I moved my foot to the left and push the whole pedal pad over.I would also point out that the pedal pad would be perfect on carpet because it integrates a retractable spike-strip on the bottom of it that can click out, and dig into the carpet. On hard/wood floors like I have, it was moving around a little bit, so I secured it by pushing it up against the table you see in the picture above. I believe there are little rubber feet on it but they don't do as good a job stopping it from moving as the carpet-spike-strip would if it was on carpet.Keep that in mind if you are on a hard floor and don't have a way to secure it in place, I'm sure putting it on a mat on your hard floor would work fine (like a yoga mat) or something else that will cause it to stay put.Hooking it all Up====================================As with all racing wheels since the dawn of mankind, you fasten the wheel base that everything hooks to, to a table or desk using clamps that tighten to hold it in place:If you don't have a table or desk that this can be fastened to, you will need to get one if you plan on using this. I lucked out in that our coffee table had a lip on it that I could hook to, but I have a friend that has a low coffee table that he hooked the wheel to that provides a lack-luster driving experience as he is bent over the wheel.Someone else that came over to try the wheel out didn't have a coffee table at all in front of his TV and was wondering how he would use it; my only comment to him is that he couldn't unless he had somethi

The force feedback is nice, if not a little noisy, the controls are precise, and everything works well.It's difficult to find a good place to mount the controller. You need a steady table at just the right height for your chair, and it helps to have the pedals propped up a little bit. I usually have to hold them in place with one foot, and operate the pedals with the other. As for shifting, the gear leaves a bit to be desired. I didn't do my research, so I was a little disappointed that the stick is just a back and forth sequential shifter. The paddles on the back of the wheel are just buttons also, not actual paddles. They also feel a little stiff.Otherwise, it's a good value, and for the price as compared with certain local retail outlets, it is a good deal. If you want to upgrade your racing experience, this is a good product for the price.

The wheel is okay. It's not spectacular and it isn't a POS either. On occasion I do notice some "slippage" and by that I mean it feels like something doesn't catch and the slack in the wheel goes totally loose and you can end up over compensating during a turn. May not be good for kids. My 7 year old daughter has trouble actually turning the wheel because of the force feedback. It makes it feel much heavier than it really is. Overall, not bad, but not really good either.

My husband loves this game!! He built a contraption to play it on the bed. It's amazing and quite large. It's made out of wood.

I am happy with this wheel my husband and I both love it I bought it as a gift for him mto go with the need for speed and gt5 and other racing games this wheel is a great addition to any racing chair setup or just by itself on a computer desk maybe but I do recommend it. It has a real feel to it and the shipping time was great. will post pictures!
