3 out of 5 stars Nice looking   June 19, 2008
I bought this as a second steering wheel for some Mario Kart fun. It looks good and works well with one minor flaw, and that is that the Wiimote must be pulled out of the wheel to navigate the menus. It does not have the small window that the Official Nintend wheel has. If you just use it for the second controller, though, then it is not an inconvenience.


2 out of 5 stars Not good enough.   February 11, 2008

The biggest problem with this is that there is no hole for the Wiimote's strap to come out of the bottom - so you have to remove it to put the Wiimote into this wheel. If you don't - and try to force the Wiimote into it, you'll likely rub off some of the rubber padding on the inside of the Wiimote slot.

Also it's not very comfortable - at least of my hands. It seems like they made it upside down - like the open end should be the bottom, since that's where your hands really are so you can use the buttons on the Wiimote.

Overall, it's OK... but just that: "OK." I'd keep shopping if I were you.



5 out of 5 stars Well worth the pennies!   January 27, 2008

For whatever reason the Wii racing wheel made the driving games much easier, therefore much more enjoyable for my son. He had much better control once he began using it. Well worth the very little I paid for it.


3 out of 5 stars lacks stability   January 4, 2008

If you've played any of the WII racing games you'll know they are very sensitive to movement. A steering wheel with a base would have been a better choice.


1 out of 5 stars How to ruin your wii remote for the low price of $10   December 26, 2007
 11 out of 17 found this review helpful

Our family received one of this for Christmas. It seemed like a good combination of fit and function. However, when the wii remote was inserted in the carrier, one of the foam strips inside the carrier stuck to the infrared window. It has been impossible to remove this adhesive, and now the wii remote no longer works correctly. The foam strips are placed in such a way that there is no possible way to put the remote in without having the foam rub up against (and therefore possibly stick to) the infrared window.

So even after this, if you still consider purchasing this item, be aware that you cannot use the remote to navigate any of the wii menus while it is inside the carrier. Based on the way the carrier is made, it would probably be only a matter of time before one of the foam strips broke off.
