Best wheel ever... I really mean it
I got this racing wheel 4 christmas because i got tired of using the keyboard and I didn't have a gamepad. (I have a joystick, but I only use it for flight sim 04. then my parents A.K.A Santa Claus bought me this cool wheel by logitech (I was really going to buy it with my credit card, besides I'm only 15 years old. The force feedback and vibration feedback is awesome I keep the force feedback on most of the time except wheen I'm drifting in Need For Speed Underground 2. This wheel doesn't take up much desk space at all which is good because my desk is kinda big. Whatever you do get the updated drivers from the site instead of plugging it in. Oh yeah don't forget to get the wheel centering utility from logitech.com <
>I hope u like my review <
>Thanks <

This is the best wheel you can get!
I have used so many wheels before and NONE of one I like. Yes NONE! I then started to look for a good quantity wheel and finally went for this Logitech MOMO Force Feedback Wheel USB.

I can tell you this is the best wheel I have ever had. From the look of the wheel to the paddel, everything just like I am driving a real car. Yes! A real racing car. Everytime when I put my hands on the wheel and my feet on the paddel, I feel I am sitting on a Nascar. Also, those bottoms on the wheel make me feel that I am sitting on a Formula 1.

One more thing you need to consider which is the updated software from Logitech. Do not install the one comes with the package. Go to www.logitech.com download the newest driver. You also will need a "Center Adjustment Utility for Logitech MOMO Force" which can help you adjust the center of the wheel (in case you are racing with a unbalance setting) from the downloads page.

Listen to me ... this is the one you have to have for your own IF AND ONLY IF you are a serious racing gamer. You will not regret it! I promise!

A guilty pleasure
As a full-grown adult far closer to the grave than the cradle, I can't help but feel guilty over the pleasure of "racing" with this sturdily made wheel and peddles. Combined with the top-notch graphics of "Need for Speed, Porsch Unleashed" or "Colin McRae Rally 2.0," the simulation is top notch.

The rumble of the idling racing car waiting for the starting flag is conveyed through the wheel in the former title. Than, as advertised, the force feedback provides a credible feel for the road and for one's forays off road into the resistant gravel, the more slippery hard-packed mud, or the crunching snow.

I raced for some time with the wheel off-center -- which was no problem at all except for the aesthetic desire to see the wheel upright on the straight away. But, I finally decided to look for the "hard-to-find" utility to properly center the wheel -- a search that took less than a minute on the Logitech site. The utility downloaded within ten seconds and worked like a charm. So, now, I don't have even a nit to pick.

The pedals work fine, especially barefoot. The break and accelearator could be spaced apart an inch or two more, but even with my size 12's, they are quite workable.

The feel of both the pedals and the wheel give me the impression that they will hold up for a very long time.

What don't I like about this product? Well, for a 59-year old, it is embarrasing to own. But, that's a criticism of me, not the wheel. The difference between racing with the wheel and a joystick is the difference between swimming with shoes and swimming with flippers. If you enjoy autoracing games, you'll enjoy it all the more with this set-up.

The wires come out of the left-hand side of the pedals. If your CPU is on your right, the wires can be an annoyance. This minor problem can be addressed either by moving the CPU or by using some masking tape to stick the wires to the base front to avoid tempting them to get in the way of the pedals.

Is it worth the money? You decide. It does all you can expect it to do -- improve the feel of the race, improve your driving performance, and add considerably both to the realism and enjoyment of the experience. So, the question is, "How much is that worth to you?" not "Will the wheel satisfy?" It will satisfy if the guilt of the indulgence isn't too overpowering for you.
