XL20 Xlerator Regular Adjustable Stand for Logitech G25/27 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I already owned the 360 wheel stand from Xlerator and have been using this new one with my Fanatec Porsche 911 wheel for 2 weeks now.

This stand is perfect if you play on a couch and want maximum stability:
- no matter what level of force feedback you select, the stand never moves thanks to the 2 contact points on the floor and the 2 contact points on the couch. There's no forward sliding either, even on carpet (the contact points have rubber caps).
- the gear stick attachment is very sturdy (so much better than fanatec's default design with those 2 flimsy rods).
- the whole thing folds up instantly when you need to get up. Once vertical it's pretty stable and won't topple easily (esp if you own the heavier metallic pedal set).
- when it comes to storage space, you really can't make anything tighter than this.
- it just takes seconds to take the stand out of the closest and set it up. You can tape all the wires between the wheel/pedals/stick to the frame itself, so the only thing that's hanging is the power cord.

Short of setting up a full cockpit, that's simply the best solution.

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.

Logitech MOMO Force Feedback Racing Wheel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One of the most impressive things about this wheel is that within 10 minutes of removing it from the box, I had it installed on my computer and was using it in a game.Logitech scores again with rock solid software that is easy to install and use.
Once I started to use it, the other good parts about the wheel became apparent within a very brief amount of time.
FORM FACTOR:Compared to other force feedback wheels, this takes up a surprisingly small abount of desk real estate.Once clamped onto a desk, the unit only takes up a 7 inch by 14 inch area of space.The clamping mechanism is notable for not extending very far below the desk.This means there is less for you to bump your legs on and it makes it possible to clamp it in a wider variety of locations.
PEDALS: In my previous wheels, the pedal unit would slide all over the place on my wood floors.This unit, though has a big enough base that there is absolutely no sliding whatsover.In addition, there is a little traction device you can turn on, so that on carpet, the base will stick even more.
FORCE FEEDBACK: To set up the wheel, you can use the default Windows Game Controller set up.Force feedback can be set from 0-150% strength.For my game, Rally Trophy, I found that anything greater than 20% was too strong and I ended up using 14%.This is a sign of quality, because it indicates that the wheel has a full range of power available.The fact that at 14% power, the wheel delivered a nice range of subtle in-game effects proves to me that this wheel has been put together solidly.
This wheel met all my expectations and for me was a MAJOR step up from the little game pad I was using.It has taken me about 2 days to really get the hang of driving with it, but now that I have figured out the right settings, there is really no comparison.Before I was just goofing around with a video game.Now it feels like I am actually using an advanced driving simulator.Very cool!
