5.0 out of 5 stars The wheel, pedals, and shifter make racing games SOOO much better.

As I used it for F1 2017, this was perfectly fine as gears are switched using the LB and RB padals behind the wheel in the game, just like in an F1 car. It was also fine for Euro Truck Simulator 2 as the trucks have 12 to 18 gears on them. The wheel and pedals work brilliantly with both games, and all in game menus can be traversed with the wheel as it also doubles as a controller. You can never go back to playing with a controller once you've used a good wheel in racing games. It totally transforms the experience for the better.On playing Forza Motorsport 7 and Project Cars II, I realised that the gear shifter would add another dimension again. And again, once you've used a gear stick in racing games, it's hard to go back to not using one! It totally transforms the experience for the better. Can't wait for Forza Horizon 4 now! I feel like a kid playing Daytona USA in the arcades in the 90's again!! Priceless.So it's a good buy, no question. However there are some caveats that you should be aware of.You need to attach the wheel to a table, desk or something. It's very easy to do as the wheel has built in clamps on the underside to fix to such a thing. But you need such a thing, or else you wont be able to use it.The pedals have no grip on the bottom of the unit. They will slide when you press them on a wooden floor or thin carpet making them unusable unless you sort out some kind of fix to stop them sliding.The clutch and accelerator pedals are easy to press. The brake requires more force and a bit of getting used to. Don't get me wrong, it works well, attempting to emulate pressure required to slow a moving car, but you need to get used to it at first. After quickly realising the pedals slid without a fix, and fixing it, I nearly toppled the chair back I pressed so hard braking late on F1 2017! It's not a fault. You just need to work out how hard you should be pressing it for effective game play. It actually works very well once you get going. Teenager and above would be fine, but smaller kids may struggle pressing the brake pedal effectively. My kids are 8 and 10 and they struggle. But that's partly because they can't drive and always go flat out on the accelerator and brake way way too late! Personally, I would say the brake works well, and the resistance in pressing is an excellent feature. My kids would disagree. Fortunately, you can change what the pedals do easily, so I have made the clutch the brake for them instead. They prefer automatic anyway.The shifter has 6 gears, and a reverse gear. To access reverse, not obvious on first use, you need to depress the stick in neutral when the car is stationary before moving right and then down. The shifter adds a brilliant new dimension to the game play and control of the cars with the pedals. I see the dilemma for making a cost effective H shifter for gaming as this is. Many cars in Forza / Project cars have up to 8 gears. Many only have 5. 6 gears, 1 to 6, is a good balance for a default setting in a game that covers hundreds of cars. You can use the padals behind the wheels to go past 6th gear when needed. Euro Truck Simulator goes up 2 gears in each position which works well depending on the truck you are driving (they can go from 9 to 18 gears!). It also allows a shift key to make 1 to 6, 7 to 12 and vise versa. That's not really down to the manufacturer, Unless you want to buy an 18 position H shifter? They have provided a cost effective H shifter with 6 positions on it and a reverse to connect to your wheel and pedals. And I can say it works well for most instances. For the instances that it doesn't cover, there is usually an easy software work around with the controller buttons. As I prefer racing around in the older cars in games, pretending I'm James Bond in a DB5 for instance, it works a treat for me! For a 5 or 6 gear car, it's perfect!To conclude I spent around £200 for a gaming wheel with gear padals, 3 pedals, and a 6 position H shifter with a reverse gear. Am I happy with the purchase? Yes. Does it improve the gaming experience? Yes, immeasurably - you can't go back. Do I feel I got my money's worth? Yes. Is it perfect? No. But it depends on what you are after. For me, and most, it's a perfectly good and highly enjoyable solution. Just make sure you have something to attach it to and can stop the pedals sliding across the floor!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely good quality

Had for about a year now. So I have alot to say, TL:DR at the bottom.The wheel is extremely good. While a little loud because of the vibration. Feels extremely premium, the pedals feels extremely good and so does the wheel. I have no issues about this thing holding up because how sturdy and premium it feels. The software is clean and is easy to use and navigate. You can use this on Xbox too but their isn't many games which support sadly. I used this mostly for truck simulators such as Euro and American where I clocked about 1000hrs on both using this wheel. It feels good. The force feedback while a little bit weak. Is extremely good for what I personally use it for. I can feel vibrations when I go over speed bumps and the resistance when turning. The only bad part is taking it apart and setting it up because it's a big bit of kit. It can frustrating and annoying which is why somtimes I leave it up and running. And additionally, the clutch is annoying to use because of how heavy the spring is so I changed for a lighter one.TL:DR: Premium feeling wheel, will hold up extremely well, only issue is the fact that the clutch is extremely hard to press and the set up process is a pain in the backside

Perfetto

Facile istallazione. Al momento non è stato quasi mai spento :-)

Close to real

The force feedback makes it close to real feeling of driving,I wish they will improve the mechanism in the next products using belt instead of just motor. Belt will give more realistic action of steering when driving

かなり良い品物でした
