Does it work with other games, or just rumble?

Tough to find info on these, the full name is the Logic 3 Top Drive Reactor, found this mini-review:

They seem to be more prevalent overseas, getting more hits on European sellers. Lucked into one on ebay so I'm going to check it out.
8BitMonk:
Here's my first prototype. I bought a basic electric junction box with rigid plastic from Home Depot and cut 2 sides off to make room for the mouse. Then I used a threaded bar for the axle, some nylon spacers for it to spin in and to keep the outer wheel off the side of the box and acorn nuts to cap the ends. The mouse is just held in place with some poster tack on the bottom for the time being which actually works well because you can adjust how close the mouse scrollwheel is to the RC wheel and there's a little give.
It isn't pretty or compact yet by any means and doesn't look like an RC controller but it works really well. Pic's and vid below.

Yeah those are from Germany, I was able to get a couple from within the U.S. already. Skeptical about how well they'll work, we'll see. I know the steering is restricted and not 360 which is one of the things I was looking for.
Fursphere:
oh right. Good point. I forgot you wanted 360 wheels...
