Cons: Clutch and brake are too close together for my tastes. No 360 support but thank microsoft for that.
Pros: Leather, steel wheel and pedals, clutch, amazing force feedback. Works on PS3 as well as PC of course. Comment:
Best wheel there is bar none, can't wait for GT5 now that I have it. Grid is just so much better with a wheel, and that goes for all racing games. Great sale price. |

Cons: Wheel a bit small for those with big hands.Not wireless (though with FF, could it ever be?)
Pros: Quality materials and construction.Force feedback. Comment:
I've only used this with GRID for PC so far, but it adds a whole new dimension to the game. The pedals are great and absolutely destroy a gamepad with digital 0/100% only acceleration. No real cons, since I got it for $199 on sale (besides having to re-learn how to drive and temporarily driving like a rookie again!) |

Cons: -Pedals are slightly close together-Lot of wires
Pros: -Got it at a good price on sale-Very good build quality-Pedals have different resistance like in real cars-Great forcefeedback-900 degree rotation Comment:
This is probably one of the best wheels you can have to experience racing games at the moment. It has excellent forcefeedback and a very good build quality overall. I've tried this game with Live for Speed, GTR2, and Grid so far. It works beautifully with LFS. I definitely recommend this to driving enthusiasts. One major downside for me was the amount of wires needed to hook this up. Since I don't have a permanent set up, this becomes a hassle. |

Cons: None
Pros: Force FeedbackAwesome H shifterClutch, brake and gas pedalAmazing workmanship, very high quality parts and real leather for the wheel Comment:
I bought this wheel to play racing games the way there are meant to be playedThis is by far the best steering wheel I have ever used. It adds a whole new dimension to racing games. Grid, TDU, NFS are much better and fun to play with the wheel. All the parts are high quality and feel right, just like in a car. It's great that there a clutch, brake and gas pedal. Also the H shifter is the best. Also the force feedback is great. I would highly recommend this wheel :) |

Cons: - None so far!
Pros: - Strong Force Feedback- Awesome shifter- Clutch pedal!- Amazing workmanship; very high quality parts Comment:
This is, by far, the best steering wheel I've ever used. It adds a whole new level to racing games (whether they're actual driving sims, or simple arcade games like Need For Speed: Carbon). It works great on both my PC and PC3 (Gran Turismo 5!), which is a great bonus.Pedal movement is smooth, shifting is solid, and the wheel is just plain awesome to use -- very powerful force feedback, great movement and the leather is just a nice added touch.The only thing I wish they had included is force feedback on the clutch + shifter, for extra realism during driving.Highly, highly recommended overall. |

Cons: The Shifter feels a little weaksauce.. What I mean is...it doesn't feel too realistic...I've seen some videos on youtube of users Modding it..making it stiffer and harder to shift..but that will obviously void your warranty.It's easy to misshift so get some practice in and you'll be a pro in no time.The wheel does feel a little small but you'll eventually feel normal with it after a couple of hours.
Pros: Pretty Sturdy, Doesn't feel cheap overall! Awesome once you get use to it... Currently playing GT5P on my ps3... Supports FF, clutch, all the buttons are programmable. Comment:
Overall this is pretty awesome. It's my first time purchasing something like this.....but I'm very pleased. I play more GT5P now than in the past... It's nice having 3 pedals and a 6 H shifterIt's currently mounted on a desk, but honestly looking into buying an actual game chair to mount on.Those go about 120-600 depending on quality and brand I guess.I do recommend racing finatics to purchase this... if you're still unsure I would go on youtube and watch some of the people play... |

Cons: shifter has a slight "loose" feel to it in h-pattern shifting.
Pros: Strong, full featured and the best bang for the buck in the sub- $1,000 wheel+ category. Pedals are "pods" that can be interchanged (hint* you can mount the unit upside down in a race frame after flipping the pedal pods around so that the pedals are more "car-like" having the pivot point up top)All in all, the entire unit is quick and easy to setup and takedown and the wheel and shifter mount securely and quickly to a desktop or table. Comment:
I use this unit on a PC and I play GTLegends, GTR, GTR2,RFactor, NASCAR Sim Racing, Race 07 and GRID and I love it. My laptimes have improved considerably from using a keyboard and the fun-factor is off the chart.GRID gave me the most problems to configure the unit to work for my driving style, but a little googling and testing yielded good results.Overall this is a "can't miss" good purchase for those with a budget below $1,000. Much better than the less expensive wheels, and great bang for the buck when compared to the expensive steering wheel/ shifter/ pedal units. |

Cons: none
Pros: Realistic, metal, true to life. Comment:
I have been a racing Sim enthusiast for many years now and I can tell you this product is Exceptional! I have never use a wheel that is more realistic. Basically it is like they took the wheel off of a race car and adapted it for the PC. |

Cons: None so far.
Pros: High quality components Comment:
Bought it for the PlayStation 3 and works like a charm. I tried it with Burnout Paradise and it works a bit too well: extremely responsive and the rumble feedback is strong. Very satisfied so far. I'm waiting to try it out with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. |

Cons: Wheel is smaller than a real steering wheel.
Pros: 6-speed shifter, 3 pedals, comfortable wheel. Comment:
I bought this to play with GT5 Prologue (imported), and I have only one complaint with the wheel itself and that is that it feels small when you first start using it. But after several hours of gameplay it no longer feels small, and it is just as large as every other gaming wheel that I have seen.The 6-speed shifter is mounted seperatly from the the wheel so you can put it on either side of hte wheel and as close or as far as you would like to. As well there are paddle shifters on the wheel itself (NASCAR style) so you can easily use those as well.The three pedals work great. each has their own pressure to them, so the gas is quite light to press down, where are the brake is fairly hard (just like a real car 'should' be), and the clutch is well a clutch. If you have really big feet the pedals will feel close together so if you are clutching and braking at the same time you may have your feet touching each other.I bought this wheel for my ps3 and have played GT5 Prologue, Burnout and Ridge Racer with it and they all work great. I hooked it up to my desktop and laptop just to see how it would work with some computer racing games, exactly what you would expect from logitech. Plug it in and away you go, and install the added software for additional functionality. |

Cons: Wires little shortNot enough button on stearingShifter click loud
Pros: Excellent Force FeedbackLeatherMetal pedalVery good qualityEasy to use and install Comment:
Im not a racing gamer, im a 3D shooter... but i see some few preview of king of "city" race. Someone here suggesting me to take a look of "Test Drive Unlimited" by Atari.... WOW ! With this Wheel and the feedback this game is AWSOME ! I love it !! Leather stearing, steel pedal, very good quality. The shifter is a little bit imprecise. Not enough button on to set camera view, horn, etc.Some old game as "Driver" by GTinteractive detect the G25 but this game is boring when you already try TDU |

Pros: Cluthshifterforce feedbacksturdy Comment:
As soon as I got this, I set up everything ASAP!!! I pop in need for speed underground 2, and wow there is such a huge difference between keyboard and a wheel. I could feel the feedback from the wheel every time I crashed into a wall. It was intense trying to get to the finish line. This review was modfied by poster @ 12-20-08 03:05 PM |

Cons: Requires large desk space
Pros: Great feel6 Speed Clutch Comment:
I bought this wheel 2 weeks ago, and im loving it!! The leather wheel feels great, and the 6-speed shufter + the clutch gives a great game playing experience. the only downside of this product is the fact that you need quite a large area on your desk to put the wheel and be able to clamp it down... |

And over all this is very high quality stuff... Comment:

If you want a wheel look no further. Im loving it, it the force feed back in sims feels real.. Im going to to make a game chair or have it made with a racing seat so it lines up like your actually driving a car. |

Cons: Too many cables! Shifter is 'ok' but not great. Does not appear to be compatible with XBOX360.
Pros: Great quality and feel for the price. Comment:
As many have said in earlier reviews, this unit has great build quality for the price. The steering wheel is thick and heavy with great force-feedback and decent paddle shifters. The pedals all have different weights to them and work very well. The shifter is probably the least impressive when using the 6-speed mode, the shift feel is loose and cheap feeling.The biggest annoyance with this package is the sheer number of cables! I leave it in the box except when in use and it takes several minutes to setup (leaving the cables connected). A Bluetooth version would be great. |

Cons: -This is picky but the sequincial shifter gear up is 1 and gear down is 2, H-shifer First gear is 1 second gear is 2, so if you want to switch it when you drive a differnt car like in Testdrive, you need to change the key map.-lots of wires can cause a problem. A wireless gear box would be awsome.-kiss your deak space goodbuy.-no button in the middle of the wheel for a horn.
Pros: -Quality-Size-Responsiveness-Functions-Realism-FUN-FUN-FUN Comment:
This is the best force feedback wheel around, and the proof is in the price. It's wicked to play with this, I love the thing. You could teach someone to drive with this if you have the right program. Testdrive is good to teach shifting standard as the car will stall, but more kickback is needed. |

Pros: Feels great playing racing games. Comment:
I'm really enjoying this wheel. It's my first one and I can't believe I've gone this long without one. Friends come over just to check it out and play it. The build quality is great and I'm modifying my computer desk to accompany it better. |

Cons: cheap shifter, reverses tends to stop working (mine stoped working 2 days after i bought it), but with logitechs great customer service, they are sending me a new one for no charge.
Pros: 6 speed shiftercompatible with most systems(pc, ps2 and ps3, havent tried the xbox 360 yet)good FF Comment:
overall this is by far one of the best steering wheels out there for this price. although the price might look steep, it is worth every penny.this is compatible with the ps3, GT:HD does not have FF, but for NFS:Carbon it supports everything from the clutch to the H pattern shifter. |

Cons: 6 speed shifter is very "loose". Not enough resistance.6 speed shifter is not supported in most games (but not logitech's fault. It would be nice if they were to make patches/drivers to make it support games such as NFS:U2 etc etc.
Pros: Awesome force feedbackmade with leatherNOS button on wheelPaddle Shifters (but very crappy and sometimes annoying6 speed shifter Comment:
It's overall a very nice wheel and quite a good price too if u ask me. Its the only racing wheel that i know that comes with a 6 speed shifter. It has an awesome grip and nice force feedback. I tried it for both for PC and PS2. Both work fine. It confused me at first cause it said PS2 compatible and there was no PS2 plug, and the manual did say anything about PS2 usage. I finally figured out that the wheel plugs into the PS2 via USB.. lol.Only real down side is the 6 speed shifter requiring very little effort to shift. Other than that, the wheel itself is well worth the $256.10 I paid Get it, u wont be disappointed, trust me. I even managed to mount the 6 speed shifter on the top of my case by removing the first 2 DVD drives. (Thermal Take VA8000BWS) |

Cons: kinda pricy
Pros: Strong durable design Comment:
This is absolutely the best racing wheel on the market, it makes driving so real. 6 speed shifter and 3 pedals is simply awesome. I recommend this to anyone with the money lol. |
By far the best wheel ever. It is probably the best accessory i've ever purchased. If you are into racing games this is a must. the only weakness is the stiffness of the brake pedal - I have to push it so hard it slides on the wood floor :(other than that, it is a fantastic purchase.
