3 out of 5 eggsGood price but.

Pros: Its a good wheel for the price, used in Race 07, GTR Evo, Sega Rally Revo and a couple of truck sims.

Cons: The bolt for the clamp failed after a year or so, made a homemade bolt as a temp fix, then more recently an area under the brake pedel broke. So I sent an e-mail to Thurstmaster and they said "Regarding your Ferrari GT Experience.

Thank you for the photos you have sent us.

Herewith we would like to inform you that we do not have the pedal set for your wheel available as a spare part. Furthermore, the damage indicated by you is not covered by warranty as it obviously shows signs of mechanical damage."

Other Thoughts: Overall I would have given this wheel at least a 4/5 but I knocked an egg off because of Thustmaster claiming the damage was mechanical when it was more likely caused by the poor build quaility.

3 out of 5 eggsMade To Break

Pros: Works well right out of the box. Nice feel, nice performance.

Cons: About 11 months after I got it the left paddle shifter went out, and although Thrustmaster was very quick to mail the parts, I had to do the replacement. Not bad, but would have preferred replacement.

2 months later, the clamp for securing the wheel to the table broke on the right side. So far have been unable to locate replacement clamp or

4 out of 5 eggsI'm very happy with it.

Pros: Fun as hell to play with. Makes all my racing games much more intense, and I have never used a manuel shiftr in these games till now.

Cons: A bit of a pain to set up sometimes, had to rearrange to get this in close enough to the big screen. Cable onbly lets you get a few feet from terminal.

Other Thoughts: Well worth the buy, if u have the right stuff for it, buying another so me and friends can race.

1 out of 5 eggsjunk

Pros: it worked for a couple weeks

Cons: about two weeks of VERY LIGHT use it was done.

Other Thoughts: this seems par for the course for steering wheels and joysticks lately.

5 out of 5 eggsNice wheel

Pros: This wheel works great with almost all of the driving games I have. Very sturdy, I like the locking mechanism, makes it easy to attach/remove it from my desk to drive. All of the buttons are easy to press, the pedals work well, it is a very nice wheel.

Cons: When you press the brake pedal, there is a lot of tension, so if you have it sitting on the open floor, it will start to move back wards away from your foot. This can be solved by placing something heavy behind it, or in my case, putting it by the wall so it doesn't move. Not a big enough problem to remove an egg in my opinion.

Other Thoughts: The USB cable could be a little longer, but it works fine for me. Otherwise a great wheel for the money.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Cheap, dirt cheap and 3 system compatible, PC, PS2, PS3. Works with all modern racers very well especially on the PC. It also has functions to increase wheel sensitivity on the fly while in game via a button combo.

Cons: Has no force feedback but then again its $50 and needs some adjustment to play Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3.

Other Thoughts: I've owned two of these and its a great beginner wheel I haven't gotten around to buy a G27. One of them broke after heavy use after a year. Its hard to argue when its at $50. Do yourself a favor and read the manual if you plan on using this on the PS3 it contains good information. Overall its a good cheap wheel.

1 out of 5 eggsMuch too stiff

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Much too stiff, both the wheel and pedals. I bought this for my kids (4 & 6 year old). They can barely turn the wheel all the way because its so stiff, and they can't push the wheel buttons while driving because they have to grip it so tightly.

The wheel always comes off it's table mounting due to the force needed to turn the thing.

The pedals have to be attached to something because they too are so stiff that pushing them without moving the entire foot unit is impossible, even for an adult.

Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for. I'm going to take it apart and see if I can loosen some of the springs inside to make it easier to handle.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks Great

Pros: The wheels handle great, pedals are great too. Works with DIRT for steam, have not tried anything for PS3

Cons: Need to fit it into a desk, no mount so you can just place it on the desk.

3 out of 5 eggsModel # confusion

Pros: Steering and pedals feel good. Pedals have a nice pressure feel so you can get the real experience of braking and acceleration like in a real car. The wheel has nice rubber around it where you place your hands. It gives it a nice grip and feel. Pedals will move around depending on the floor and placing. buy nothing that you should worry about. there is a way around it and it is tolerable. The price is right. Did not try any games with it yet, Google videos no this racing wheel and see it in the woks.

Cons: Model # confusion
I returned my racing wheel the same day i got it.

Other Thoughts: INPORTANT NOTE:

My main reason for getting this racing wheel was that it has 3-in-1 support for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PC. This is true based on the advertised page of this product for Model#: 2960697. Now I got this same model, but was not 3-in-1. It was only for PS3 and PC. even the box said it was Model#: 2960697. I am not sure what is wrong her rather there are two same racing wheels with same model or just false advertising. Got my RMA same day and shipped it same day back to new-egg. Also they are sending me new one, same model. I hope it is the right one.

New-Egg is still great this was just a confusing and in no way should this effect you getting this racing wheel.
