I'm going to purchase the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel from Amazon in a couple of days time, it will cost me £71.99.
It has:
" Manufacturer's Description

I was wondering if anyone had this wheel or used it, and if you do, what is it like for you?

Never had it, want one to try it tough :lol:

Steering wheels suck.
After a week of purchasing it, you're going to get sick of it.

I bought the above steering wheel racing pack for £150. After paying so much for a steering wheel (£150 - half the price of a PS3 games console), you would imagine it would be out of the world. No, not really. :D
I thought it would be awesome, but after a week I was extremely dissatisfied.
I can assure you, you will be feeling the same way I did after a while.

That looks like a PS2 steering wheel from the cable at the bottom, PS3 driving experience I can assure is much much more better, and there are many games to feast on. ;)

You rang?
On topic though, I can't ever imagine myself buying a wheel for a game. :/

I bought one once. Not those OMG 1337 PR0 stuff, but something that costed me like 55 dollars. It was nice to play games like Need for Speed, Live for Speed, GTA SA, etc.
It's a cool thing. The sad thing is that it only worked a few months. :~

It also works with many games Ive tryed on PS3 and PC.

I'd rather buy a joystick. And most likely without force feedback, because it's disturbing IMHO (and makes the controller cost a lot more).
But that's because I play quite a lot in various games, and a joystick is a more versatile controller than a steering wheel.
-
I got to agree the the Logitec G25 wheel is one of the best on the market. It has 3 stainless steel pedals with a fully wraped Wheel. Personally I use a Logitech Momo for all my racing simulations..
-
G27 is not at the marked..

They sell them in belgiu m for 312 euro. By the way does driving steer works good on NFS Shift.

I heard that Logic3 wheels are really poor quality.
-
It is looking really, really bad indeed
-
well, I don't care for the quality, i care for the product and what it does have to offer.... not that much the quality..
-
I just got the wheel fully tweaked up for use on LFS, the force feedback was amazing, and you really felt like you were on the road driving.
-
How to use the gearbox if you only have 2 pedals... And is this ssteer very good? i gonna buy one but I wanted maybe the G27 i dont know
-
The shifter is a up and down, you can use it in most games because the clutch is automatic and you don't need to have it, some games give you the option to select it. The wheel itself is very good, the force feedback is realstic, according to someone from Logitech, the force feedback on this wheel is better then the G25.
If your going for the full package, go for the G25, not G27, because G27 is just the G25 overpriced, and it removes the option to change the shifter mode.
This wheel is probably the best wheel around except for the G25 and G27.
-
Well , I read many about steering wheels before . The best wheel equeal to price and quality , is currently Driving Force GT , G27 is just copy of G25 , trust me . G25 got the most realistic gear , and here G25 got + . In my country , Poland . Driving force GT costs 350 zł , and G25 costs 600 zł . If you want to be more realistic , buy G25 , if you ignore price , and you respect reality. Driving force GT got the same abilities like G25 , but he's got lower useless things , like hide on gear . My opinion is , the driving force GT is much better equeal to price , good choice you got it Tupac.

Merry Christmas

Yeah I'm pretty satisfied after some months owning the product that its a awesome steering wheel. :)

Flight simulators with a wheel? Nuh-uh.
Wheels are only good for racing games, joysticks are good for pretty much any game (gamepads are good too, but I'm more used to a joystick).

I'm thinking about getting this one. It hasn't got any force feedback, which I like, because it only disturbs me (and makes the controller cost twice as much).
-
Yeah, of course.
But if you're not out for flying a cessna or becoming a bomberpro in Battlefield and need a good controller for your racing needs you'd want a wheel
