5 out of 5 stars Was impressed!!   January 2, 2008
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.


4 out of 5 stars Great Addition to the PS3   December 15, 2007
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!


4 out of 5 stars Great wheel for PS3, problematic pedals   December 11, 2007
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

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.



5 out of 5 stars A new twist to fun games   December 11, 2007
Great product. Excellent response and feedback. It takes some getting used to, but it definitely makes the games a little more fun and interactive.


5 out of 5 stars Works on PC very well!!   October 26, 2007

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.
