Logitech MOMO Racing Force Feedback Wheel - wheel and pedals set

Logitech Momo wheel - watch out for the pedals

Advantages: Sturdy design, rubberised grip, force feedback
Disadvantages: pedal problem

II recently purchased the Logitech Momo Force Feedback racing wheel from www.scan.co.uk (previously reviewed by me on Ciao) for £65 (excluding p&p). The price has gone up slightly now though. I have found this wheel to be, in general, much better than my old wheel - the Guillemot Race Leader Force Feedback - which stopped working after I got Windows XP, and the Thrustmaster Modena wheel which I have reviewed previously on Ciao. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The wheel has the following features: Designed by MOMO - MOMO is one of the world's leading designers of steering wheels and automotive accessories, for the track and the street - look out for their name in Michael Schumacher's Ferrari Formula One car.

Great starter wheel!

Advantages: Not gonna break the bank, has force feedback
Disadvantages: SERIOUS design flaws

you to predict slides before they become noticable. Most modern driving games have support for force feedback such as GTR, LFS, Test Drive Unlimited etc. The wheel gives good feedback, however it's motion is read by an optical sensor (rather than the typical gear system), this is a problem as after time the optical sensor can get dirty, and misread the motion of the wheel. The pedals are also on flimsy mounts, and as they constantly re-calibrate if you use the pedals alot they can mis-read what is and isn't full throttle, which can mean you can push the pedal to the floor and still only get 70% throttle. This is only apparent in the "Rev. A" versions, not the newer "Rev. B" versions however. The wheel is a nice "starter" wheel if you enjoy your driving games on the PC, however don't want to spend £150 on a proper sim racing setup. ...

Great force feedback wheel, complicated set up

Advantages: Wide array of features - gear stick, paddles, force feedback, brake and accelerator peddles
Disadvantages: Can be time consuming to set up, compatibility problems on dated systems/games

Steering wheels are the ultimate accessory for any racing game enthusiast. Unfortunately they can also be a real pain to set up. I got this wheel two years ago to use with some of the rally and formula 1 racing games that I own. Performance wise its the best wheel I've ever used. It has very responsive pedals and good powerful force feedback from the wheel (it has its own power supply for feedback). Also if you're into gear changing then there's the option of either the gearstick or gear-shift paddles behind the wheel. Personally I found the gearstick a bit awkward to use on games but the paddles behind the wheel are really comfortable and easy to use. The main problem I have found with this game is compatibility although these problems may only be unique to my system ( a Win 98 pII 400mhz ). I was generally able to get the wheel ...
