Video Games : SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel
Rating: 
- Excellent product - Well worth the extra money
What can I say?
After using other steering wheels in the past including the normal Microsoft Sidewinder, i am very pleased that I went for the force feedback.
It gives a much more realistic driving experience that all hardcore gamers crave. This also comes with numerous buttons which saves you needing your keyboard for ingame changes and an option to turn off the force feedback should you wish to do so.
The pedals have a nice depth to them and have good non slip feet. The wheel can be securely clamped to most surfaces which is something I haven't seen on other products.
The only criticisms i have are that the pedals can squeek slightly, the software is more Win 98 orientated, and the fact that if your games are old and don't support force feedback properly then you wont get the full enjoyment.
Overall a great product.
Rating: - I can drive again
A friend had brought gradprix 3 2000 season for my birthday. I had to buy grandprix 3 to play it... Untill I bought the wheel I was not impressed... now all I do is sit and drive, this is the most realistic wheel I have ever used.... The build quality and feel is second to none... worth every penny...exellent +++++++

This wheel is great!!!! It has completely transformed racing games on my PC, it works extremely well with both Colin McRae Rally 2 and GP 3. You do have to calibrate it for each game, but this takes a couple of minutes then away you go. I am particularly impressed with the realism, loose steering when driving on snow and nice realistic loading up of the sterring when in slow tight corners in GP3....impressive stuff, but I think I'll keep hold of my Impreza WRX for now.

- Not So!
I took mine back after 3 days! Forces were eratic in different games and could not be configured with the supplied software to feel realistic. Some games were ok, others terrible. I think that for nearly £100 you expect perfection. This aint it!
Rating: - It works....
...what more can I say? I had a cheaper steering wheel before I bought the Microsoft FF wheel. Like opening Pandora's Box, there's no going back! The wheel really does feel amazingly lifelike and enhances your feel for the game. It wokrs particularly well in GP3....
