Simply put, this is one of the best force feedback driving wheels in the market and you won't be disappointed on its features and performance, especially when it compares with other wheels.
I've been playing PC racing sims for some years and I own the following games: Grand Prix Legends, Mobil 1 Rally Championship, Nascar 2000, Nascar 3, Colin McRae Rally 2.0, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, Sports Car GT and many other older games.When the very first force feedback wheels came out, I rushed to buy them and the results were mostly disappointing.I have tried Microsoft FFB (mediocare), Interact (worst, IMHO), Logitech Formula Force (the older one, which is a much better one than the later model), Logitech Formula Force GP (the newer one, yet inferior, but it works with my PS2 on GT3) and the ACT-Labs Force RS (the best among all.The Ferrari wheel is definitely only 2nd to the Act-labs Force, and way way above the rest.
To sum up what I like about this wheel:
1) Very strong force feedback
2) Lots of buttons on the wheel for one-touch quick keys
3) Have both stick shift and paddle shift helps Rally-style and F1-style racing respectively
4) Precise steering
5) Good feeling steering wheel
6) Good clamp to hold it steadily onto the table
The only few things I don't like about this wheel:
1) The pedals are too close for people with big feet
2) The pedal platform is likely to skid around if put on carpet (easily fixed if it's put against a wall)
3) Too many wires connecting the wheel and the pedals and they are not the most smartly located
All in all, I think this wheel helps me decreasing my lap time significantly and immersing myself much more into the game.For example, it's just great to feel your car losing grip in a corner and eventually regain it and steer accordingly.The best thing is, you can use the on both your PC and PS2 (just a caution, it might be impossible to config the buttons in PS2 as it's not offically supported by Sony)!!!
