I love the racing games on Microsoft's Xbox 360 and I have played them all with a standard controller. That is until I bought the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel last week. Sure it took a little getting used to after years of steering with a thumb-stick but within 10 laps I had become accustomed to the feel of a wheel and pedals.
Being an owner of both Xbox 360 and PS3 I was holding out for a wheel that could be used with both. Logitech with their top of the line wheels G25 and G27 were my first pick but are not licensed to work with the Xbox 360. Knowing that most of my racing games are for the Xbox I could not see spending so much money for a wheel I couldn't use all the time. So the only choice is the Microsoft wheel, but I didn't want to pay $150 price tag it use to have. Even at $99 I still think it might be a bit overpriced which is why I waited for a good sale and picked it up for half a Benjamin.
Consider that the Wireless Racing Wheel does come a bit gimped. Although it connects wirelessly to the Xbox it still comes with wires, one from the wheel to the pedals and one to A/C power adapter for Force Feedback. Also the gear selection can only be done with the shifter paddles, no nob or H-position shifter option like the G25/G27. But it does have a place to connect your XBL headset if that matters.
Overall the build quality is superb and the feel is great but my only complaint is the pedals feel way to loose and spongy. For less than a hundred dollars though it is one of the least expensive driving wheels and definitely worth owning.Get more detail about Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel.
