Customer Reviews of Microsoft SideWinder Precision Racing Wheel (USB)
seems ok Thought I'd pass along a few things I discovered, maybe saving others a bit of pain.
I never could find the "schemes" they talk about, but I think it doesnt matter, cuz most games have there own setup screens.
Wasted time trying to get Sidewinder listed as first gaming device in control panel(gaming options?)
Dont waste your time. Just unplug your other gaming devices(joystick, gamepad..) and things should be ok. That's the beauty of USB- easily connected, easily disconnected-even when PC is on.
Clamp for clamping to table seems pretty good. Wheel has a bit of play , rocks in and out just a bit.This doesnt affect gameplay, but could this mean I'll have a problem later?
Maybe I'll go to store and see if other brands have same problem.
PEDALS: stiff action, which is what u want, I think. Dont wanna have wimpy pedals where its hard to control accelerator. This is first wheel I've ever used, so I cant compare this wheel to others.
Pedals do need to be secured down, they slide away from you. Look on underside of pedal platform, make sure to tuck the cord safely into one of the grooves they provide on the bottom, else you'll end up with pedal platform eventually wearing its way thru the cord.
Physical setup is a snap. Disappointed that I clicked on links in the provided software to get help at Microsoft site. I think theyve changed the site somewhat, didnt find what I was looking for. You can find some troubleshooting tips at site, tho.
Havent decided whether I'll keep it or return it yet. May well keep it.
A great racing wheel!
WE bought this for our son for Christmas last year and we haven't been disappointed. It's not difficult to program to any game you want to play and it clamps on the desk in such a way that it doesn't move at all. Though a little pricey, it is definitely worth the money if you're looking for a good racing wheel. We had bought another racing wheel before this one and it was junk. We couldn't get the pedals to work and compared to this one, it was [poorly built]. Microsoft makes a great product. We also own the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick and that has held up wonderfully for 4 years now. We've gotten a lot of use out of both of them and I recommend them if you're looking for a wheel or a joystick.
wow
absolutely makes gaming more fun. Works great with Need 4 Speed
It also works great with the included games, including Monster Truck Madness 2. Definitely worth the price. I got it when it first came out and I don't regret it.
Eventually I began to use it less, but I think that goes with most new things that people get. Eventually they get used less.
