(More customer reviews)First of all, I have had no problems getting this wheel to work as it is evidently supposed to.The problems some are having with this might stem from the fact that the gas and brake pedals are designed in an odd way.The problem with these pedals is that when you press the gas it is the equivalent of pressing the x button on the controller.Since the gas is not usually placed on that button by default, the gas and brake pedals will not do what you are intending them to do, unless you can change the controller configuration to put the gas on the x button.The brake works in a similar way.The problem that results from this is that many assume that when you hold the gas pedal down farther, it will result in more power coming from the engine.The truth is that since the designers made it so that the gas pedal triggers the x button, the gas is either on or off.This is the reason why the gas is usually placed on the left or right trigger buttons that do have the ability to have more levels of power than on or off.Now I am not sure if there is a game that could actually work with this wheel to do more than just turn the gas on or off, but my guess is that you are probably stuck with out being able to use the gas pedal anything like a real one.One other problem comes from the fact that some driving games are not equipped to change the controller configuration enough to use this wheel properly.If you are playing a game that cannot radically alter its controller scheme, then you probably will be stuck using the gray triggers underneath the steering wheel to slow down and speed up.That is very inconvenient.
Another problem I have with this this product is that it has a small dead zone right when you start to either turn right or left.This has the effect that when you are in a section of road with more than just a gentle turn, you will have to do a good amount of correction to overcome the dead spot where it does not respond. Racing games require smooth subtle movements.This is especially true when the steering wheel is not designed with the 900 degrees of movement that other products have.The dead spot right in the middle is just enough to throw off the controls so that smooth steering is not possible. I am certain that this is not just a flaw with my unit.
This wheel is counterproductive.It does work at what it is designed to do.The build quality is such that I am sure that it will not break in the very little that I will possibly ever use it.A traditional controller will be much easier to use.I regret that the person who gave it to me for Christmas wasted her money.
