Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

This racing wheel was built from the ground up by industry professionals with input by those who brought you Forza and Project Gotham Racing. Featuring technology in rumble and Force Feedback response, the wheel simulates a spectrum of driving sensations from drifting to powersliding. In addition to realism, you will be using Xbox 360 2.4 GHz wireless technology with ranges of up to 30’.

Features:

* Force Feedback technology
* Customize your driving experience using either the quick release mount for table play or the slip resistant rubber bottom for more secure lap play
* Formula 1 style paddle shifters
* Realistically weighted gas and brake pedals
* Works with your Windows PC with the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver (Sold Separately)

Customer feedback:

1. This wheel is a blast! I was already addicted to Forza 2 and was moving steadily up in my career with the regular game controller. With this racing wheel (and pedals), I'm moving up even faster than before and the experience is dizzying - literally. I have my setup about 3 feet from a 50" plasma and the feedback of the wheel is so realistic that I was getting odd dizzy effects when going in and out of tight corners because my body was expecting to feel real world forces from the seat against my back and sides - and they of course were missing. Make no mistake, this isn't a bad thing - its a testament to the realistic feedback of the wheel. You feel everything - understeer, oversteer, grass, jerks when flying from grass back onto the pavement.
Prior to this wheel, I always detested driving the big American cars like the Camero or Corvette because they were so difficult to control with the normal controller - they would constantly slide out and wag back and forth because there was no feel. Last night I nailed several races with both these cars because I was finally able to control the car through power slides and oversteers.

2. Pros:
Top notch feel and finish, no corners cut on cheap plastic or details.
Works right out of the box. No drivers to fumble with.
Feedback (while connected to power source) is excellent.
Clamping system is easy to understand and use.
Doesn't tie up a spot on your Xbox USB ports.

Cons:
Minor- you need to find the right table/surface to mount this on. It is heavy!
Minor- clamping system is excellent, however, after a long race it may move and need readjusting.
