MOMO vs WingMan

Hi All, Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the Logitech MOMO and the Logitech WingMan Force. Cost for the WingMan is much less. Is the MOMO really that much better? Thanks, Lambone

Can't speak for the more recent offerings, but the original MOMO really is (if you can live with the pedals). Jan. =---

People complain about the "short travel", and when they are just sitting there on the floor and I play with them a bit, the travel does seem small, but when I'm racing I don't notice it at all (I guess because the throttle adjustments I make are rather minute in comparison). You can play with the throttle sensitivity if you like to give them more feel. John DiFool

John, Is your reply in reference to the MOMO or WingMan? Thanks, Lambone "John DiFool" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Exactly, they "look" inadequate, but they're perfectly suitable for the job they need to do. I have no problems with them whatsoever. Jan. =---

Logitech makes this confusing... The cable operated original generation Wingman feels better than the gear driven MOMO despite being a much less expensive wheel. These are probably hard to find new now, though I'm not sure. I still use the MOMO as my primary wheel, since the physical wheel is much nicer, but no other wheel I've used approaches the original Wingman FF for smoothness. If you're asking for a comparison of the MOMO Racing ($99.95)and the Formula Force GP ($69.95), I haven't used either. I'd definitely opt for the MOMO between the two for the gearshift and much nicer wheel/button layout. Looks like a real nice wheel for the money. I paid $200 for the first generation MOMO.

I paid $80 for my MOMO racing wheel and love it. First experience with FF so don't know about others. Used to use old Thrustmaster Pro that beens patched and rebuilt to many times. What a difference it has made. Once I got the force feed settings dialed in for games I drive I find it adds alot to the sims. My opinion but good investment. Shifter was important to me but also like choice of paddle shift.

Thanks for your advice all. I was already leaning toward the MOMO and you positive comments about it have helped me finalize my decision.

Dear Lambone, I owned a Wingman Formula Force GP before I acquired my Momo. All I can say is this: The Momo is worth the investment, *and then some*. J.R.
