Saitek J43 R440 Force Wheel (USB)

Summary: Good for the money but...
Review: Considering it is a fairly cheap wheel I suppose you get what you pay for;

It is sturdy but the pedals dont have a high enough resistance and IMO have too much travel in them.

The paddles are easy to reach but the other buttons are a little awkward and take some searching-for if you are in the heat of a moment.

The steering is EXTREMELY notchy, which for the game I play makes this wheel almost impossible to use with certain high powered rear wheel cars that are extremely sensitive to slight movements.

Summary: Hot contender for performance king
Review: Liked:
Realism and performance: The latest implementation of Force Feedback supports 16 effects simultaneously (earlier generations: one at a time) for the most accurate feel - and hence best driving performance.
Styling: Saitek are wild!
Pedals: top-hinged - and engineering masterpiece. The payoff: precision and stability
Programming software: drag-n-drop quick and easy
Value for money

Disliked:
Color scheme

Summary: Good choice, but...
Review: This wheel is good: it feels in hands more real than Logitech Wingman Force GP and MS SideWinder FF2. Buttons are comfortable; pedals are unusual, but works good and never slips on the floor.

But it has *big* problem - drivers (at least, for Win2k). After couple weeks of struggling I've returned it and have bought Logitech Momo Racing Wheel. And glad about that, MOMO is much better :)

Bottom line: really good wheel, but not for Win2k
