Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel Decide Now


I got this as a Christmas present and i have been enjoying ever since. I have been thinking about writing this review but i have been playing Forza 2 in all my spare time so this review is a little late. I have had this wheel for almost a month now and here is what i think.

Pros

This wheel has good feel and response
The pedals are realistically weighted
Its wireless from the 360
Pedal base has good grip on hardwood
Very realistic responses

Cons

Pedal base has no grip on carpet or rug
If you want force feedback, you have to plug the wheel into an AC outlet

This is my first racing wheel ever and I am extremely pleased with it. But beware of the fact that it does take a couple of days to get used to. At first, i was thinking about returning it but after an hour of play i was already matching some of my records. Counter steering is difficult to get a hold of with this wheel but it is much more effective than the controller when it is mastered.

***Note: My wheel came in with the brake pedal pushed in. It took me a little bit to figure out why i was going so slow. If you go to the telementary screen while racing in Forza 2 by pressing up on the d pad, you can see how much pressure you are applying to the gas and break. That is how i figured out that the brake was always engaged. I also think there are options in the game to set where the dead zone of the pedals are but i didn't have to mess with that because i just pulled the break out of the position it was stuck in.
