I am considering purchasing a force feedback wheel. The two I am considering are the Logitech and the Microsoft Force Feedback Wheels. I would appreciate any comments on the two wheels??

I bought the MS wheel and promptly returned it. I did not like the gear button placements. My wrists were very uncomfortable trying to keep my hands in the proper place while steering. I would actually hear and feel my wrist joints snap. Several months later after I got a new PC with USB, I got the logitech FF USB wheel. Total kick ass. Nothing more to say :-) In fairness though I did like the FF a little better in F1RS while using the MS wheel, but the wheel was impossible to drive. Some people complain about the Logitech pedals. I like them. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

There are romours about MS releasing a new FF-wheel soon (I heard February???). Maybe it would be wise to wait until then. I used the Saitek (which is based on MS-FF and should be quite comparable to the actual MS-wheel) and the LWFF. I like the Saitek FF better than the Logitech and if the MS-gear levers were not crap, I guess this would be my wheel. Maybe the new one will show some improvements!? CU Zolli
