hardware and accessories

Well, this wheel did not meet my expectations. I evaluated it by playing Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec. The Force Feedback feels unrefined, sometimes it feels like its pulling for no reason. When you hit the ripple pads (red and white lines) the feedback is inconsistent, sometimes you feel it, sometimes you don't. The shifters are neat, however you can't use them while cornering. If you are coming out of a corner and try to downshift its very cumbersome. The wheel doesn't feel real enough for me to justify the (current price). It does work with the PC though as I used it with Midtown Madness 2. No Force feedback on the PC however. Even after I tried installing the drivers for logitech's other PC force wheels. Overall, the wheel is good, has reasonable feedback, good embedded PS2 controls and paddle shifters.

Often times, switching to a driving wheel from a regular controller can seem strange. You connect a wheel controller to your computer or console, and you expect it to FEEL exactly like driving. Let's face it, that's a tall order. But the Logitech Force Feedback wheel is REALLY good. I just purchased Gran Turismo 3 for Playstation 2, and this wheel works great with it. Compared to other wheels, this one doesn't oversteer and you get to use the whole range of motion, rather that just being able to use a small arc of the steering wheel's movement. The feedback feels accurate, when the car slides you feel a loss of traction - when it bites, you feel it. I'm going back to racing now...

Bought this wheel after using a Logitech wheel for the PC and loved it, ... Feed back is a little inconsistant while taking large corners but you have to remember, this is a game not real life. Wheel response is more than acceptable for making your PS2 driving games more realistic ... Logitech pedal base could be bigger with better grip for whatever floor it is on. Based from my personal experience, if you are stuck ... buy the Logitech and let the wanna-be's have the Madcatz. The logitech is well worth the extra [money].
