I am looking around for a 'force feedback' steering wheel for my PC. I have looked at the Microsoft and Saitek models and they both seem 'OK'. Does anybody know any other wheels that they could recommend? Cheers Jon

Personally, I use the Logitech WFF wheel and like it very much, however it is a very personal decision. I suggest buying at a place which will allow you to return or exchange the wheel if you are not happy with it and also to checjk out the Force-1 site which has reviews of most of the Force Feedback devices on the market. <http://www.force-1.com/> -don

I have the Saitek and it's pedal travel makes braking smoothly and precisely impossible. Don't waste your money on this one!! Tom

I have the logitech formula FF wheel and its great as long as you have usb. This also seems to make it useless in DOS games. I found it to be the best FF wheel out there, its well built and feels silid compared to the rest which feel very plasticky to me. >I have the Saitek and it's pedal travel makes braking smoothly and precisely

I have Thrustmaster Nascar Pro (non-FF - FF is still gimmick IMHO). Wheel has good feel and gives progressive and accurate inputs. However the springs break easily although the service backup from TM is superb (free replacements by return mail) - and the replacement springs seem stronger - none broken so far! Don't buy if you aren't able/prepared to disassemble and repair occasionally. Otherwise excellent product and good value. Good luck Greg > >I am looking around for a 'force feedback' steering wheel for my PC. > >I have looked at the Microsoft and Saitek models and they both seem 'OK'. > >Does anybody know any other wheels that they could recommend?
