I’m more of a racer gamer than anything else so I’ve been dying for a real steering wheel (w/ pedals preferred). I’ll be honest, I bought this one b/c it was cheaper. In this case, I completely regret trying to be a penny pincher. I wouldn’t even bother w/ the Logitech b/c it was so much more expensive. But now I know the reason it’s so expensive is b/c it MUST be better than the MADCATZ! I haven’t even bought the Logitech yet, but anything has got to be better than this steering wheel. My boyfriend who is the main gamer can’t even figure out how to get the wheel to turn on (that stupid “home” button). We got it to work once, but not anything since. We bought Burnout Paradise w/ the wheel and for that game, we have to use the lower right grey flap (R2?) to accelerate which can make steering at high alacrity pretty hard. The pedals only do the Boost (gas) and brake (brake). So from the get go we’re disoriented. Also, I’m not thrilled about the way it steers. I guess you really need the sports meeting it reccommends to get most performance. Also, the lap rest works fine for me, but not for larger people which is kind of useless for some. And yes, the wheel does stink. Anyway, we’re returning it immediately and buying the Logitech!

wheel itself feels solid and comfortable, also the included lap rest attachment is a nice bonus, that is all the clear.
On the terrible side, the peddals are not compatible with all (or very many) sports meeting, which means you will have to use the gray “flaps” under the wheel for gas and braking, this is not very practicle and makes a mess out of trying to handle your vehicle.
Also the wheel I bought makes a ’snap” sound every time you turn it right(from dead center).
Bringing it back tomorrow for refund.
I was hoping for the best as I bought this set for 39.99 but even at that 1/2 price its just not worth it.
Too terrible cause the wheel itself feels solid with nice resistance, but the lack of compatibility and the default use of flaps under wheel for gas and breaking really hinder this product.

We needed to get two wheels, our family makes this into quite an event, so we figured let’s try the Logitech GT wheel and the Madcatz wheel.
Out of the box the Logitech wheel felt better and with the force pointer it was even better.
The one thing Madcatz did well was grant a lap mount for the wheel, pretty clean thought but it still needs work.
The by and large feel of the product I’d give 2 stars, it felt flimsy. The thing I really dislike was that the rubber they use for the wheel smells. It stinks, it really does.
Get the Logitech wheel, from the offset it works perfectly, I had to reboot the PS3 to get the Madcatz wheel to work, the Logitech wheel worked immediately.

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 conundrum with these pedals is that when you press the gas it is the equivalent of critical the x button on the controller. Since the gas is not usually positioned 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 place the gas on the x button. The brake works in a similar way. The conundrum that results from this is that many take upon yourself that when you hold the gas pedal down farther, it will result in more potential 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 positioned on the left or right trigger buttons that do have the ability to have more levels of potential than on or off. Now I am not sure if there is a game that could in fact 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 conundrum comes from the fact that some driving sports meeting 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 alacrity up. That is very inconvenient.
Another conundrum 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 excellent amount of correction to overcome the dead spot where it does not respond. Racing sports meeting require charming subtle movements. This is especially right when the steering wheel is not designed with the 900 degrees of movement that other harvest have. The dead spot right in the middle is just enough to throw off the controls so that charming 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 small that I will possibly ever use it. A traditional controller will be much simpler to use. I regret that the person who gave it to me for Christmas wasted her cash.
