Rgt Force Feedback Pro Clutch Edition Wheel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son gave me the RGT for my birthday.He likes his Logitech Momo but was unable to find one for me at a decent price.

The RGT wheel and pedals are well constructed and function properly, for the most part.The driver setup went so fast I thought something was wrong, so I did it again.You need to understand that "Control Panel" means the ThrustMaster Control Panel, not Windows'.The device driver for Win7 64-bit is in beta.The Test Effects section does not work.Watch out when you power up the wheel.It WILL immediately rotate lock-to-lock with all of its considerable force.

Response of the wheel in Live for Speed and iRacing is immediate and accurate.My main beef is the notchiness that the force feedback motor provides.It distracts from the precision driving experience.By fiddling with the "Control Panel" and game Controller settings, I was able to minimize that effect.

My old wheel is a Traxxas Free Wheel Racing Controller.It looks like an RC car transmitter.Actually, it's a PC game port version of their RC car wheel with nothing in the antenna hole.It is extremely quick and accurate for steering, throttle/brake and shifting but lacks other buttons and hat features.Also, I found no game ports that support Win7 64-bit.My times with the RGT are still worse than my times with the Traxxas.

My only other complaint with the RGT is that the pedals are pretty close together for my big feet.The clutch and shifter add a nice touch of realism to the games.However, if you forget to clutch when you stop, the engine goes to idle anyway rather than stalling.That may be a function of the games rather than the controller.I have not tried the analog paddles for throttle and brake yet.

Finally, the clamp seems strong enough but the wheel wobbled slightly forward and back when tightened down on my desk top.By moving 2 of the adhesive-backed rubber feet from directly under the clamp to positions closer to the flange that fits against the edge of the desk, I completely eliminated the wobble.

Logitech G25 Racing Wheel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not an eloquent guy, and certainly not a frequent Amazon reviewer, but I just thought I'd clear up questions if anyone else is in the same boat I was (PS3 owner looking for a wheel).

I love driving sims for PS2, and thought the G25 would be a great way to get my dad to play some games too. I wasn't sure how the G25 would work with the PS3, but lo, it's flawless. Hooked up via USB, the wheel can fully mimic the function of the Driving Force Pro, so Gran Turismo and ToCA give you everything they've got. It also has a lot of future potential with the Gated gearbox and clutch-pedal that most current games don't use. The only reason you might keep a sixaxis handy is for the "home" button to quit to the XMB (ps3 OS).

"Feedback" is an understatement, as the word makes me think of the N64 rumble-pack. Most of you potential buyers are already aware of the wheel pulling you out of turns, or giving enough feedback so you know just when you're about to lose grip through a corner. But the G25 can be so subtle that it almost creates a "3D" feedback map. I'm not sure how to explain it, but when your in-game left rear tire hits a rumble strip, it feel like that specific tire has really hit a rumble strip. I have no idea how they do this with just two force motors in the G25.

In any event, the quality of the road-response is absolutely worth the price, which is already pretty decent here with free shipping. The DFP was tempting, as I've tried it on a PS2, but this wheel is much more subtle, much better looking, and will be the gold-standard for future driving games. No regrets here, just a happy father-son bonding experience and less wear on our real-world cars.
