I was hoping that this product would be a great buy but it turns out this particular controller is inaccurate. I tried it out on both my NASCAR and Forza games but every time I would hold the controller straight my car would turn left. The controller is also way too sensitive. The slightest turn in it may not turn you enough and turn too much and you end up wrecking. Not a good product. I recommend a mounted racing wheel if you like racing games.

A recent shot of my credentials
I received this as a gift from my wife for my birthday. I was excited to try it out, being an avid Forza 4 fan. I really liked the look and feel of the controller. However, once I tried using it I believed it to be defective. For example, I could not turn properly while braking, and when correcting for oversteer the controller didn't seem to know I had turned the wheel completely around the other direction. I could turn this controller off and switch to a 'regular' controller in the middle of a race and the 'problems' would vanish. I tried it with several different cars all with different tune setups all with the same bad results. I returned it for a second wheel, but it showed the same characteristics of the first. I was very disappointed because I really wanted it to work. It seems like it would be a fun toy for a novice player, but for a serious player in the top 1% on the leaderboards if completely fails to deliver.

Does not work well with other racing games
PostedMarch 18, 2012
This wheel looks great but does not work well with some racing games. i tried it on nascar the game 2011 and it was very bad. then i went on indycar series 2005 and it was pretty good. you can not dirve in a straight line with it. it did work better on need for speed shift but not as good as indycar. it is almost like it is to sensitive so i wrecked alot. i would not buy this again or for anyone else but i would buy the normal racing wheel. it seems like it only works with forza.

aim at the casual gamer with lots of racing exp
PostedMarch 6, 2012
i got this because a lot of reviews said it good (except one which was irrelevant), and i have to say it does a bang up job performing like a real racing wheel. i got mine, and been trying it out on forza 4, and it's easy to use once you get the controls down (when you look at the controls though you'll understand why turn 10 decide to use Y as the rewind). as i said this is for the casual racing gamer, it is still miles away from using a controller. for one not enough buttons to replace the ones i'm accustom to use on the controller, but i found the right setup for me. also it's true there is no place to hook up a mic, so use a controller when playing racing games with friends. Tips: to use the wheel on forza 4, start with hot laps and go with a slow car until you feel competent at driving with it, then move to another class. also the simulation steering option was meant for the wheel; it feel more controlled (as i have tried with an actually good racing wheel setup with petals and all on normal steering and it didn't feel right at all).
