5 out of 5 stars a must for driving sims   September 8, 2008
I purchased this to use with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Grid; I don't think either game would be "playable" without it. A stand to support the wheel and keep the pedals from sliding is necessary; there are several good home-made designs on the web. The wheel does have shifter paddles on the spokes, which I use for both games; I'm not sure of the real value of the shift lever. Set up with GT5 is simple; setup for Grid it is not as easy but the default settings with all assists turned on are acceptable.



4 out of 5 stars Great buy but be ready they are working on a wireless   September 4, 2008
Just got this off of a tip from Gizmodo. Ok I'm a driving geek and since I live in New York this is the closest I'm going to get to owning a car. The handling is great and has a lot of in game options in GTprologue. It does have an in chair adapter you can pick up also from Logitec but honestly with all the force this thing creates I don't think I would want it around my crotch area.

Downsides: Lots of chords but they are a necessary evil in this case. I would like to see this product develop some on steering toggles so you can use your middle fingers more.

Things to know after you buy: While driving hit the arrow button on the right surrounded by the red circle. Then use the up and down toggle on the left to set your preferences this will help you when you think that the car isn't handling as good as when you were using your regular controller......enjoy.



5 out of 5 stars I can win now   September 4, 2008
I can win some easy GT5 races now. Couldn't come close with the regular controller.


4 out of 5 stars Good wheel, a must for driving games   September 2, 2008
Excellent product, but need a place where you can lock it like a playseat . . . otherwise is difficult to fix it to anyplace or over your lap . ..


5 out of 5 stars 1000% more control   August 31, 2008

I have not used any other wheels or used the wheel with any other games besides GT 5 Prologue, but this setup is bad a$$. It gives you much more control than the hand-held controller. Everything works better...steering, gas, brakes. We got it for $119.00 on Amazon so watch for a sale. Highly recommend. The wires can be a nuisance and it's best to clamp it down even if it is just a board and set it in your lap.
