Wheels

Post by Rev2_mike »

I'm about to enter that murky world of pretending to be a racing driver at home... So am thinking about getting a wheel for my 360 (and no i dont want to hear about anything to do with the PS3!)

Anyone got any recommendations? Or ones to totally avoid? :-k

there are only like 2 or 3 worth getting and they are the official microsoft wheel and the mad catz wheel.

i no u dont want to no about the ps3 BUT if u do have 1 u would be better getting a wheel for that eg the logitech G25 it comes with metal pedals including the clutch pedal and a H shifter for the gears

i think most 360 exclusive racing titles are built around the official wheel so its definitely the one to go with.

How do you use these things?

Do you rest them on some kind of table?

I simply cant imagine feeling comfortable with one!

It does rock a bit forwards and backwards but the important side to side is obviously fine because its pretty stable in that direction.

Certainly works better than my old annoying setup of a plank of wood across the sofa!

Tried one on my lap once and it moved all over the place. Then I tried one on a little table and it fell off a few times. Went back to the control pad after that lol.
