Summary: You can do better
Review: I purchased a V3 Racing Wheel and experienced a lot of difficulting getting it's drivers to work on both Win98 and Win2000. I would recommend ThrustMaster's Nascar Racing Wheel. I much better purchase for me.

Summary: Worked well, until it fell apart!
Review: I recieved this racing wheel a few years ago as a birthday present. I had an easy time hooking it up to the computer, and installing the software. I calibrated it and it was off to Need For Speed III. Now right off, I was unhappy about something: the way you use the wheel. Instead of a desk clam, the wheel has a base that slides between your legs and the chair (this product is not for parapalegics)and this puts the wheel at a very unrealistic position, even when the tilt feature is used.

Fast forward about a year. When I try to play Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed, the pedals stop working. I try other games and they will not work. I discovered the cord has to be in just the right postion to make a connection. Very inconvienient having to keep the cord in a delicate position while racing online...

Next, just recently while playing NASCAR Heat, I was making a relitivly slight turn and *SNAP* something broke, and the wheel went loose and wouldn't work. Something inside obviously snapped, but I cannot get to it. I am now without a wheel, and am ordering the Thrustmaster NASCAR Force Feedback Wheel. I suggest you do the same.

Summary: V3 Racing Wheel not for use with most HP computers
Review: I spent hours trying to get this product to work on my HP Pavillion Pentium III machine. I downloaded updated drivers, read every ounce of documentation I could get my hands on, and finally gave Interact's long distance customer support # a call, only to find out that the V3 and apparently the V4 racing wheel is not compatible with Riptide soundcards/game ports. This is what most HP computers come with. I myself have an HP Pavillion 8580c. Interact customer service did have a solution for me though. They instructed me to, "get a new soundcard." <------Exact Quote

No more Interact products for this consumer.

Summary: You can spend your money on something better!
Review: My brother and I bought one several years ago and it broke within 5 months. We have now decided that we shouldbuy a new wheel and have realized that a whole lot more people have had problems. We are looking at a differnt wheel. I suggest you do the same.

Summary: This thing sucks
Review: Neat set up, to bad I could not use it. There are some cards this thing will not work with. The only way to find out if it is going to work on your system is to sit on hold with the no toll free number for 20 min so you can be told by a rude service rep that your system is incompadable. Save yourself the frustration, money, and time. DON"T BUY IT!

Summary: IT DOESNT WORK
Review: Not only does it not work out of the box......the customer service information # in the book is the wrong number......and it doesn't make any difference weather it is the holidays or not...you still can't get tech support for this product......at least I can't

Summary: Does not work
Review: The device drivers for this product did not work on my W98 - HP Pavillion, which is a very standard configuration. The product documentation does not include an 800 line for customer support. Their toll customer support number was closed for the entire holiday break - this really was impressive. Basically this product was a very big disappointment. It may look really nice but there is no excuse for the product not working RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.

Summary: Only if there was for Windows 98
Review: The only problem is that there is no way to make it work in Win 98.This product is cool, for people that like car games. If anyone knows how to make it work in Win 98 please send me a E-mail to [e-mail] By the way I live in Azores you should visit it. It got`s the best food and the best view.
