Thrustmaster Enzo Ferrari FFB Racing Wheel (2969082)
Thrustmaster Enzo Ferrari FFB Racing Wheel (2969082)After searching for a decent FFB wheel I found only two moderately favorable reviews on the Internet of this item. Still, I wasn't prepared to spend more for a Logitech Momo or MS Sidewinder, so I gambled and am pleased with what I got. I don't know why there are no reviews of this item out there (?), but I would say excellent value for your money.Appearance: replica Enzo wheel. A bit lightweight but with 220 degree travel (not 180 as some have written). Pedals are full size and have long travel. Installation easy. Some reviewers have noted that the upright pedals can be uncomfortable. True enough if you are sitting in your office posture. However, my advice is lower your chair, so the wheel is in front of you, and raise your pedals (mine are on my lowest computer desk shelf). In fact, once you are in an appropriate "sports/racer" posture, the wheel and pedals fit right in place. The gearshift paddles feel delicate, so a light touch is recommended. They have a...

| Author: dellyjoe - See all my r.. | The Screensavers show included this wheel in their review, and also Tom's Hardware website reviews it. I bought it because of the paddles for accelerator and brake on the wheel. The force feedback works well, literally shaking the whole desk on high settings. The foot pedals respond as well as in a real car, and the steering goes where you point it. The clamp is simple and sturdy. There are 14 buttons or paddles on the wheel including a POV 360 degree thingy, so it should adapt to about anything one would hope. If you want a wheel that will operate without the pedals, for example when you are standing at your computer table, then this will do it. Latest FFB driver is available at Thrustmasters.com. | 3 | |
| Author: Charles Buchholz - See .. | After contacting Thrustmaster they came to the conclusion that I purchased a defective product.The only good thing that came from this purchase was the fact that Amazon actually had UPS pick it up at my door and paid the return shipping!! Very pleasantly surprised with Amazon. 5 stars to them!! | 3 | |
