noel, I should add, the force feedback is not working in mame AFAIK. I bought a cheapo logitech off of ebay, it works fine for my purposes. the act labs stuff looks good, I've thought about buying for pc games, but don't have any personal experience yet with their wheels. If cost is not a factor, minwah is correct, go for a "real" one from happs! |

I used the logitech formula GP wheel http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005U21B/104-3904402-1415945?v=glance Works great just need to adjust the sensitivity settings in mame for some games. It clamps on the lip of your control panel lots of buttons paddle shifters, gas and brake pedal. its great for a begginer wheel. I agree with the gang to get an real arcade wheel, but if your just starting out and not very comfortable with hacking This is great for you. I have two Brand New never opened wheels and pedals if you want to buy one to try out. bought 4 used two ;D |

An IRQ conflict between audio and USB. Thought I may have fixed it, but then I began experiencing more problems and just ditched it. The actual wheel is okay, but it can be notchy and not very realistic at times. The Performance Pedals are a complete joke. They have a longer throw than the standard pedals, but that's it. Despite the pictures, the pedals are constructed of plastic. The standard stock pedals, despite the pictures, have a much higher build quailty (Metal is actually used). And then you get to the part where you pretty much have to run the Performance Pedals through the steering wheel (Which IMO yields less precise gas/brake ranges and forbids use of the clutch). You need to do this because many/most commercial games will only allow you to use 1 device at a time. Either the Act Labs RS wheel or the Act Labs Performance Pedals. If you choose the pedals, the steering wheel isn't supported. Mods and homegrown games like Life For Speed support multiple inputs, but games like Colin McRae Racing 4 (and many others, old and new) make you choose. Overall I was disappointed beyond belief in the products. |
