WingMan Formula Force GP Force Feedback Wheel/Pedals...

Strengths: price

Weakness: clicking when turning wheel

for the money, this isn't a bad force feedback wheel. there is a clicking noise in the wheel when turning it. this is minor and is usually forgotten about while playing a game.

Logitech WingMan Formula Force GP Steering Wheel

Strengths: Force feedback

Weakness: Limited wheel rotation

After I got the wheel, I downloaded the latest driver from Logitech, installed it and plugged the wheel in when it said so, calibrated it, and done.

The force feedback is good. It does add realism to driving games that I try. I don't think there's force feedback on the pedals though, just the wheel. The pedal board does tend to slide around which is a bit distracting.

There are four buttons on the front of the wheel and two more trigger-like buttons on the back. I think the two upper buttons on the front are a little bit out of place. One thing that disappointed me was that the rotation of the wheel is only about 180 degrees, 90 to the left and 90 to the right. This is my first wheel so I don't know, but the limited rotation of the wheel tends to take away the realism of driving a bit. I wonder if there are any wheels out there that have the same wide rotation as that of a real car.

If you find a good price, yes, I would recommend it.

Sure Beats the Keyboard

Strengths: Good feel, pedals work great, table top clamp

Weakness: pedals slide on the floor a little, but a well placed flip-flop fixed that. A couple more buttons may be needed to fully control some games.

This wheel and pedals combo works great for the price. I've been using it for about two weeks playing Driver and NFS4. I can't compare it to others b/c it's the first I've used, but it sure does make driving games more fun. The force feedback works great if your game supports it. Wheel has four buttons and two paddles in addition to the brake and gas pedals on the floor. Instalation was a breeze. Definately a good buy even if you only use it now and then.

Logitech WingMan Formula Force GP Force Feedback...

Strengths: Force feedback, mounting of wheel assembly

Weakness: pedal platform could use more weight to be more stable (when you smash on the brake or gas pedal the platform moves, I'll try Velcro).

Awesome wheel with great feedback for the price. Wheel and Pedals are well constructed. Easy USB hook-up. Software easy to install and one can program the unit per game. Feels like I'm driving a real car except there is no brake pedal resistive pressure like you feel in a real car. Also another plug to plug into the power strip. To bad it doesn't get its power from the USB connection. Overall its a good product for the money...

fabulous wheel

Strengths: make you go into the realy world of racing

Weakness: software installed was a little bit tricky

this is my first wheel for racing , before I just use the keyboard to control the cars, however, after using this , I will never quit to usin it, it is so fabulouse that take you into the real world of racing , I try it in NFS_UNDERGROUND _2, the performance is so exiting ,I am so happy to have this. But the software you need the original one to install , otherwise it will not work properly.

value for money wheel

Strengths: Smart looking, Solid built and ease of installation.

Weakness: responsiveness of the wheel is not up to the mark, the sound it makes when you turn the wheel is a bit annoying.

This is my 1st wheel. I bought it couple of days back. It is a good wheel for the price I paid. The driver software came with the product was out dated so I downloaded the latest from the Logitech website. the force feed back feature is quite impressive. This is a discontinued model by logitech.

Logitech WingMan Wheel and Pedals for PC

Strengths: The design of the wheel and the pedals are gorgeous. The wheel can hold on to the table tightly and the pedal can stay with the floor whenever I play any exciting game.

Weakness: When I turned the wheel I heard some abnormal sound from the steering. It might be better if the sound can be eliminated.

Overall, the wheel and Pedal are well-constructed. I felt like I was driving a real car( believe it or not). But the problem of this wheel is the sound when I make turns. If anyone can tolerate this weaknes, it can be a perfect/ultimate driving machine to him/her.
