Summary: Not worth it
Review: Logitech has always made good products and this driving wheel is no exception!

Setup/Installation- It took no more than five minutes to install all software and get it working. It has two clamps on the bottom of the wheel to lock onto your desk, and I've never had any problems with it slipping off.

Reliabilty-

I've had it since November of '99 and NOTHING has gone wrong. It's extremely durable and has taken many beatings from my inexperienced driving.

Performance-

When taking turns, this wheel is so precise, you really feel like your actually driving. It's amazingly lifelike and performs just like a real car.

Force Feedback Effects-

In a word...INTENSE! You feel every little vibration on the road, the resistance when going around turns, and the rev. of the engine when speeding through streets.

I use it for a number of racing games and it hasn't let me down once...much better than what I could do with a joystick. My only complaint is that there are only 6 total buttons, making it difficult to configure them.

I recommend you buy this wheel, for it is the BEST of the best that anyone will ever experience!

Summary: Not worth it
Review: Right now, my logitech wingman wheel is collecting dust. The reason? It performs way under par. It feels nothing like an arcade wheel at all. The FF is out of sync, leaving me with little choice but to turn it off. I have not compared this wheel to other wheels yet because I am detered from buying another wheel after using this one. I also hate how you can't turn the wheel left/right after spinning it 90 degrees. I keep hitting that steering edge and it limits my turning on many of my games.

Summary: Feels like you are in the cockpit!
Review: The Wingman Formula Force Wheel is awesome! I fell in love with this wheel on my first "test drive"! Having a steering wheel enhances driving games, and having the force feedback effects increases the enjoyment infinitely . The wheels feels great, it has a contoured shape and I like the rubber grip over the entire outer part of the wheel. This wheel doesn't plug into the game port, instead it can use either a serial port or a USB port. A definite pro is that Logitech used the pedal base as the cable hub. Therefore you don't have several cables cluttering the desktop. The power cord stays on the floor. The steering wheel attaches to the pedal base with a split cable, the split end of which plugs into the serial or USB port. I highly recommend this wheel!
