(More customer reviews)After just a short time with this wheel I couldn't imagine not having it while playing driving simluations. Even without the force feedback, having wheels and peddles brings new life to racing games. With the force feedback, games are just unbelieveable. The sensory feedback you get gives you better control over the car and the whole game just feels better. For example, in a F1 simulation the cars feel as sensitive as you would expect. You can feel the rear end sliding around if you give it too much throttle. With a regular wheel you'd have to infer this sliding from the screen, but with this wheel you just feel it. It really provides an amazing gaming experience. The force feedback is definitely worth the extra expense.The wheel is simple to hook up. Just take it out the box, and connect the peddles to the wheel with the supplied cord. Then connect it to your USB port, plug it in and and load the software.The wheel clamps tightly to the edge of a desk. The peddle base is large, sturdy and comfortable. It's only drawback is that it doesn't have quite enough mass to it and will slide back a little during gameplay.The software included with the kit allows you to tune the wheel's feel to your tastes. You can do things such as alter the strength of the feedback and control the sensitivity of both the wheel and peddles. Each of the buttons on the wheel can be mapped to a different key combinations. All of the wheel's settings can be saved as a named configuration so you can set the wheel up differently for each game.The only other issue I've had with it is a lack of sensitivity in the midpoint of the wheel's travel. I've tried to correct it using the utilities, but it's a minor issue and doesn't change how much I enjoy the product.All in all, highly recommended. If you're fan of racing simulations, this wheel is well worth the money.
