Summary: Pedals Break
Review: Although this steering wheel is a good wheel to race with it does have a major drawback. The pedals are cheap plastic and usually break within 2 months. When this happened on my first one, about 2 years ago, Logitech replced it twice (it comes with a year warranty). When the brake pedal broke this time I replaced it with the same wheel because Logitech stood behind its product and it still came with a year warranty. Unfortunately the gas pedal broke within 2 months and Logitech no longer honors the year warranty for breaking pedals. I will not buy another of this brand.

Summary: Good Product overall
Review: Comes with a USB connector. I don't know about compatibility with PS2 and all since I don't have one. Easy to install once you go through the included software/driver. Does come with an extra racing game that doesn't support this wheel, so I am a little mystified by that.
The red part you see on the wheel is rubbery for better grip. I have relatively big hands and have no complaints about the size of this wheel. Set up is easy with the clamps, you can get it down pretty tight with just your fingers. The force feedback feature is definitely cool, makes you (at least your hands and arms) feel the bumping and sliding. The gas/brake station is not held down by any extra device, so it slides a little more than I'd like, but maybe you have better luck with different flooring. Requires power supply and three different wires to hook up, can get messy.

Very good product overall, I think you will enjoy it as much as I do, certainly beat the heck out of gamepads, joysticks, or keypad.

Summary: Great Product -- Works With Playstation 2 --
Review: Feel what you've been missing. I always hated the racing games, because "It never handles like the real thing". Well, now I love the racing games, because I can "feel" the road, and the car reacts like it should. Guaranteed to make your gaming experience even better. Best of all you don't have to wait for the official Gran Turismo3 model to be in stock, because this one works just like it, for your Playstation2.

Summary: Good product, but...
Review: First, let me say this is a really nice product. I bought it for my kids to use with their various racing games. It works really well and installed quite easily. The bad news is that the force feedback feature works with precious few games.

Summary: Great, perfect, best buy
Review: I bought it a long time ago now (almost 2 years maybe) and I have been using it on my PC, the USB connector is simply "simple" to use, I used it on some F1 and Rally games.

Even MORE! the wheel is PS2 compatible so I play GT3 with it every since I discovered it......I didn't even know it was compatible until I saw a drawing of the PS2 wheel and saw it was a Logitech brand........I just connected it and it did work! Amazing!

I agree with another review when I say that it slips a little, but I managed to use a "basement" with books and some boxes, I can put it on a very comfortable position now.

Now for the feeling....ever drove at 200mph? well, so far I have reached 85mph only and I can tell you something, the problem is not the wheel, is the seat....it is great to feel the apexes, the bumps, the ground, I cannot imagine what else can you feel with just your hands. Try to play with some real gloves, balaclava and helmet and tell me what you feel now!

I am looking forward to GP4, TOCA3 and any other racing game I can play and hopefully God will bless me with an eternal whell for the decades to come.

Summary: good force feedback wheel
Review: i bought this wheel for very cheap ... and this is the best force feedback wheel for its money.......it even came with a free game - Sports car GT.....the buttons and shifters are easy to reach and a comfortable red grip.....it feels like your really racing the fast cars......only small problem is that you need to have the windows cd to complete the installation.....but other than that its a great wheel to buy.....especially if you have any of the NFS games!

Summary: Good Wheel Even Better price
Review: I don't think you can find a better wheel for the price. The wheel feels very solid with good force feedback. I wish it would mount a little more securely and there is no good way to secure the pedals but overall this wheel kicks.... It also works with the playstation 2 which is a major selling point if you play PC and PS2 games.
