i loved the wheel becuase i got it at a good price price and it was practically brand new since it still had some of the stickers that you have to remove before playing. it also came with the manual, the box looked like it went through hell and back and it did not give a good first impression and it did take a lot a longer for me to recieve than what it thought it would which was the only draw back.

A while back, I picked up Gran Turismo 4 after having been turned off by other racing games such as Burnout and Need for Speed. I enjoyed the game much more than I thought I would, and played it quite a bit. Using the regular Play Station 2 controller was fine, but it wasn't great. I decided to try a wheel, and knew that I would get a lot of use out of it as I was still enjoying the game a lot. After much research and deliberation, I decided on this one and have been very pleased. I can get better lap times, more consistent driving maneuvers, and win higher point races than I could before with just the controller. However, using a game wheel is a very steep learning curve, and it takes a lot of patience to get used to. After having earned many of the higher power race cars, I had to go back to the really slow ones in order to learn the mechanics of the wheel. It took some time, but generally, using the wheel is very intuitive and quite exciting. It produces a whole new gaming experience that is very worthwhile to racing fans. I'm enjoying GT4 on a whole new level, and I'm looking forward now to trying out other racing games.

This steering wheel system is SWEET. I got it a few months ago and have loved it ever since. I have Gran Turismo, NASCAR 08, and ROad to Knoxville, to name a few. The wheel works great with every one. Also, some people have complained about force feeback being an issue. NOT AT ALL. If you don't like it, just unplug the wheel from the wall. The force feedback goes away and it still works fine. The 900 degree rotation is cool too when you want to crank it around a short bend. So far, with the games, 900 steering works with Gran Turismo and Need for Speed. It doesn't work at all with ATV games but they don't have steering wheels anyway. Overall, this steering wheel is the coolest thing ever. I would just like to mention I also bought the Playseat to go with it and it is the best setup ever. I could imagine you would have trouble if you did not have a table with the right height or a seat like mine. The Playseat is right here ---->Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat

This forced feedback wheel works great on PS3 system. Note that the USB connection to the game system is required, and there is slightly less than 9' of USB cable attached to the wheel. If you need more, get a USB extender. Also, the wheel *REQUIRES* something to anchor to, sold separately. Read the reviews before you consider the Logitech Lap Attachment (and heed them!).

This is the best wheel for PS2's GT 4 game. I mount it to a TV tray table and it sets at the correct height for a regular folding chair. It has the paddle shift handles and a manual shifter (stick). Both of which function on GT4. Forsake all other steering wheels and get this one.

The wheel works great. I like how it self calibrates and is ready to go after that. It makes the racing feel so much more realistic. The only thing I would change is the mounting clamps dont fit the evolution seat as well as I would have liked. But other than that I love the wheel.

I am really happy with this steering wheel. The 900deg turn option rocks for games like F1. Makes the driving a lot more realistic. I don't have it permanently mounted on a table or anything, that is my only disatisfaction...but that is a problem with my setup, not the wheel. I also wish more games supported it!

I purchased this wheel specifically for use with a Playstation 3. There are two limitations with the PS3, since this was a PS2-specific design. First, the connection is USB-based, not wireless. The supplied cable is plenty long enough for my setup, though. Second, no PS button, meaning I have to have the SixAxis controller nearby for exiting the game, etc. All other controls are present and well-designed.

On the whole, I like the pedal setup just fine; it stays put, is easy enough to use, and having the ability to apply half or three-quarters throttle, rather than having to tap the controller button on-off-on-off to simulate that works very nicely. I have to downcheck the unit one star for the lack of reliability in the pedals, though. Mine failed after three days: the gas would cut off for no apparent reason, and the brakes would apply themselves randomly. Not a good trait when driving at a virtual 180 mph. :-) Amazon promptly replaced the unit, and so far, no problems with the new one, but a search on the internet reveals that many people have experienced similar problems, and applied various kludges to fix them.

Touch and control with the wheel is spectacular in the 900 degree mode (supported on the PS3 in GT5 HD Concept, and presumably in the full game when it ships). Less stellar in 200 degree mode (supported, for example, by Ridge Racer 7), but still quite usable. The force feedback and rumble work well. This would be a five-star product but for the questionable quality-control or design issue with the pedals.

Great product. Excellent response and feedback. It takes some getting used to, but it definitely makes the games a little more fun and interactive.

This is indeed the DFP, even though amazon's title says just DF. I used the G25 drivers on the logitech website for my PC. Works beautifully!! I don't know why logitech doesn't advertise this as a PC wheel. 900 degrees of rotation takes a bit getting used to. You can set it anywhere between 40-900 degrees under game controller setup in windows. Lots of buttons on the wheels, but not paddle shifters. Its more like paddle buttons, but I like to use the stick shifter instead. I had a Nascar Thrustmaster Force previously, and the DFP is much better at producing FFB effects. In fact, I had to tone it down because it was strong at default settings. Its also a tad smaller than my previous wheel so I have more space on my desk to mount it. The brake and gas pedals also have different spring tensions which makes it a little more realistic. The gears still make a lot of noise as with the Thrustmaster when turning, but its definitely smoother. I don't feel the 'notchiness' of the gears. Playing GT2, GTL, LFS, and Richard Burns Rally with it.

I don't have a PS2, but from the reviews it should work great also.

Here's the deal. This wheel or any other will SUCK if it is not mounted right. Instead of buying the expensive mounting chassis here's what I did. I had an old computer cart with a slide out keyboard in my basement. I mounted this wheel on it so its stable and now even though my driving position is not like Michael Schumaker it is more like in an SUV but I am getting decent lap times.
This wheel + GT4 + 72 inch big screen TV = Pure Rush.

Great wheel for Play Station and PC gaming. Force feedback is better than the MOMO, but overall comfort of the wheel and control layout is not as good. The shifter is very easy to accidentally bump, or shift up and down when you go to grab a gear. I liked the MOMO wheel far better, but the force feedback effects had all but disappeared over the years I owned it. If you want a good wheel to move between PC and Play Station, this wheel is a great high quality, low cost choice. Force feedback is very powerful, and realistic when you get it set up correctly. Keep in mind that quite few games require reversing the feedback effects, or entering a negative values in order for the wheel to work properly. I think Logitech could do a better job of promoting the wheel for use on the PC, it really wasn't clear to me when I made the purchase, but was very happy to find it actually works great on the computer.

es muy bueno, no es excelentemente bueno, de facil instalacion. Dios bendiga a todas las personas que intervienen en esto. ha envio rapido.

it is very good, is not excellently good, of easy installation. God blesses all the people who take part in this. there is shipment fast.

I've own this wheel controller for a while, and its a great addition to any racing game, however, you just need to get used to. I recommend to calibrate the controller way before you start playing.
Great buy.

The Force feed is exceptional and it versatility to be mounted anywhere is a plus. The only drawback is the clamps are very short and you may need to adjust it constantly to keep it tight on the table each time. One other thing is that there are some PS3 games that it will not work on.

ok, i've had this wheel for over a month, not a day goes by without me or my kids playing with it. i'm a simulator fan GT3, GT4, Fomula 1, etc... the kids like the arcade, drift style games (Midnight Club, Ridge Racer, Rally, etc) We've brought out our older racing titles and tested it for many games. GT4 is the best, because it has the 900 degree option! it may not be too helpful, but its nice to have a little extra room. it goes to 200 degree operation automaticly for other games.

The force feedback is VERY strong! It wouldn't stay on my 8 or 13yr olds lap at all, and we ended up getting the PLAYSEATS EVOLUTION Racing Chair-Seat from Amazon-Target... WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT! if almost $500 for a chair and controller is out of your pricerange, Get a second job! ITS WORTH IT! And if you are a die hard racing nut like myself, You will not be disappointed...

Before we had the seat, we tried it on a TV tray, Computer desk, Table... ETC... it clamps onto things nicely, but the foot-pedals kept sliding on my best laps and making me lose control! (i'd get too excited, and push it too hard ...LEAD FOOT!) The seat is much better for holding it, Plus - your sitting position is more relaxed.

I passed EVERY LEVEL on the old games that I couldn't beat before! -The Wheel is purely Awesome- I have no -cons- for this unit... I dont use the shifter (i use the paddles in F1 games)... it's a good deal even at over $100!

I dont recomend it for younger kids under 10, it's a very precise controller, and very sensitive foot pedals, it may be "Too Real" for kids who want to jump on it and slide around on mario kart!

Overall, The Controller works PERFECT! and I would BEG you to BEG your mom, or Girlfriend, or Wife(in my case) to Get you THIS and the Seat for Christmas or your Birthday... if she doesn't, she doesn't truly love you! (Yeah! it's That Good!) Tell her I'm using my real name, She can TRUST ME!

This IS the best Playsatation steering wheel. I think its the only wheel besides the G25 that has 900 degree steering which is just great. Lovely with Gran Turimo 4. Also was flawlessly with the PS3 and Gran Turismo HD. Highly Recommended for anyone looking to buy a steering wheel for PS2 or PS3

Yes, this is the Driving Force Pro wheel. Get one and you will find out how great GT4 really is. Get a virtual racing cockpit to go with it and you will be in racing heaven. For a great cockpit, avoid the Playseat and google Bob Earl--a former real car racer who designed an excellent VRC for the wheel at a very good price.

The Driving Force Wheel adds a completely new level to GT4. I will never play another driving game without it.

This is the best wheel for your money. If your game is compatible with 900 degree steering your gaming experience will be awesome. And even if your racing game is only compatible for 200 degree steering you will still enjoy playing with this wheel. You can feel every bump, every crash, you will even feel the wheel start to tremble when you go over 210mph. You have to do no calibrating, the wheel does it by itself when you turn on the PS2. All you need is a little coffee table or something similar where the wheel can clamp to. The gas and brake pedals are very realistic and comfortable, and they come with strip of velcro-like hooks at the bottom so they don't slip.As a racing fan, I can tell you that there is no way this could be better.

This is an extremly fun steering wheel. I play it with midnight club 3 and its like virtual driving school. the only problem is that there is no lap atachment you have to buy the entire thing seperatly on their website. its extremly hard to find a table to attach it to.I still would recomend it if you dont mind buying the lap attachment seperate.

For all PC users - it works on PC. I use it on my PC for Test Drive Unlimited & other games.

In this price range you won't find anything better. Rugged construction, firm grip, good force feedback.

The only thing that I don't like is that pedals pad slides on solid sufraces like hardwood even though it has got rubbers pads underneath.
Also the mounting brackets in the unit are too short for some tables/desks.

Overall it's a lot of fun.

The PS2 Driving Force Wheel is a great value. It is constructed very nice and is of very good quality. The 900 degrees of steering is GREAT for GT4. I do advise that you attach this to a table or something heavy if the game supports 900 degrees steering. My TV tray setup I have gets thrown around when having to go on sharp turns on games that use the 900 degrees. At the old 200 degrees you don't have to worry... at least I don't. I would eventually like to get one of those racing seats made for this so I won't have that problem. I've tried several games and it makes them much better and more realistic. It does take some time to adjust even knowing how to drive a real car, there is still a slight learning curve... since I normally don't take turns at 80 MPH in my own car. Also the carpet grab system does work much better than I though. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes racing games and wants to feel like they are in a race car.

Very useful, versatile wheel adds realism to driving games and sims. The rubber covering on the wheel adds grip for those quick turns when the force feed back system is desperately trying to yank the wheel out of your hands and pull you straight off the track and into that wall. The pedals allow for much finer control of both the break and the accelerator granting the ability to take turns at much higher speeds with a much greater level of control. The usb connection let you use it for the ps2, ps3 and the computer giving a very long useful life for your wheel through a variety of games.

I actually use this set, [wheel/pedals], on my computer, it was a simple plug and play into Windows XP. I had a fairly inexpensive wheel that had the 'Force Feedback' that just vibrated but this baby 'Force Feed-S-Back'!!! I'll explain, when you have a game that allows contact with other players or off road driving it actually has a motor inside that pushes against the wheel to give the impression that your driving is being affected by the contact of the offroad input or the other players/vehicles. This baby has improved my racing abilities/experience 10 fold. I've been extremly satisfied with the performance and quality of this set. I would advise anyone that would want to use this set for computer use to consider purchasing this wheel.

This steering wheel is great its like the real thing. Also its good because you can play it on PS2 and on your computer,without the force feedback.

This steering wheel is very well made and works great with my Nascar game.

GT4 is probabaly the most realistic car racing game existing in the world now. with the 900 degree rotation wheel it is even more real! the turns r harder to make because you cant turn the wheel all the way in a split second by pressing the button down, it makes the game harder to break but definately more fun!

One disappointment though, the wheel doesnt come with the GT logo like it does on the picture, instead it's just a logitech logo. if you're insisting on looking for the one with the GT logo, you might wanna look for it somewhere else.

This is a very good wheel. I received it for christmas before GT4 came out. It wasn't so great with GT3 but that's more GT3's fault than the wheel's. For GT4, it's great but as some other reviewers have said, it takes a little getting used to. Once you're used to it though, you'll never want to go back to anything less. If you play GT4, you should have this wheel.

By the way, the proper name for this wheel is the Driving Force Pro (or DFP). Amazon needs to fix that in the page.

I recently started playing PC racing simulators and found that the DFP works great with GTR2, rFactor and Live For Speed. I use XP and found that I needed to download and run Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) and set up for games in its profiler. This was a bit confusing because Logitech lists no downloads for the DFP since they consider it a PS2 wheel in spite of it using a USB connection. Recent versions of the LGS do seem to fully support it though so I could use it in full 900 degree mode with independent brake/accelerator pedal settings and get it calibrated properly. GTR2, rFactor and Live For Speed are more realistic driving simulators than GT3/4 so a good wheel becomes even more important.

I mount it on a good solid computer desk. No problems with the mount. I would like it if the USB cable could be unplugged from the wheel housing. It's the only really annoying cable for me. I leave the pedals under the desk and run the power and pedal cables over the back of the desk and leave the ends in front of my monitor when not plugged in. I can't do that with the USB cable because it's attached to the wheel housing so when I pull the wheel off the desk, the cable has to go with it.

I'm somewhat tempted by the G25 due to the clutch pedal and realistic shifter but really, the DFP is so good otherwise that it's hard to justify the big jump in $$$ for the G25. There are also some features on the DFP I like better such as having controller buttons on the wheel rather than on the shifter housing as the G25 does.

If you can get the wires rounded up and out of the way.......it provides hours of fun for the racer in the family. I tried it myself and found the wheel is SO real in the response time even to the point of allowing you to tell when the car kicks loose from the track. I enjoy dirt racing myself, Grand Torismo, where my husband is more of a Nascar fan. He runs the NasCar Thunder 2003 and has told me he loves the wheel and the way it responds.No complaints, very happy and getting better with the REAL on the road driving at the same time! No complaints here.

The Driving Force Pro steering wheel and pedal sets we bought are fantastic. It brings the final dimension to Gran Turismo 4! Although the wheel is more difficult to use- you don't want to use it while attempting to achieve career status, it makes head to head competition fierce! and alot more difficult, but then again, isn't that the fun thing about GT4?

This is a great product. After getting used to this, there is no other way to drive. The force feedback is great; controlling the car is a lot easier once you can feel in the steering wheel what the car is trying to do. It does take a few hours to get used to this, but you will not regret making the investment. My only complaint is that the product is not as robust as it should be - I had to exchange mine early on due to a braking pedal failure, and from reading other's comments that seems to be fairly common.

It is great fun to play with, but mine quit working after about ten hours of play time.

Playing GT4 with the controller is fun, playing it with the wheel takes the game to a whole new level. This wheel in particular is very nice, and the force feedback works great.

Make sure you have a good setup to put it on though, it hooks onto a table, which can be inconvenient and difficult. I have it set up with a TV tray in a very uncomfortable position, and have since demolished the tray.

The wheel is completely worth it, the only drawback is needing a good setup, and that is not a flaw in the wheels design, it just makes it interesting figuring out the best setup.

...was to mount the wheel onto a full size ironing board of all things! It's height adjustable and relatively stable. Plus, positioning the crossing support bars slightly to the right allows the pedals to be placed under your right foot while still leaving enough room for your right leg.

My only real complaints about the product are:

1) Setup and storage is a pain.
2) The pedals feel somewhat flimsy.
