Wired Racing Wheel of Xbox 360 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The MC2 Racing Wheel by Mad Catz for the XBOX 360 does have pedals. I'm not sure what the previous reviewer was playing on. But, you'll see in the picture that there are pedals. The pedals are removable, so maybe his cousin didn't have them plugged in. For the price, this wheel is the best on the market. There are better wheels out there, if you're willing to shell out the cash. But for the price, this one can't be beat. You will be pleased with this wheel. PGR3 doesn't allow much customization for the MC2 wheel, such as dead zones and sensitivity. But that's more the fault of the game and not the wheel. I'm sure future driving/racing games will allow more customization for this wheel. The problem was PGR3 came out before this wheel was on the market. However, it still works well overall. It may take a little getting used to. The quality of the unit is great. It is comfortable with no-slip soft rubber on the wheel. My previous Mad Catz wheel for my 1st gen xbox still works great after years of use. I'm sure I'll get the same life from this new version. The wheel's resistance feels natural and the vibration feedback adds to the realism in games. The pedals and shifter work well too. I've seen the wheel as cheap as $59.99 in adds. It just can't be beat.

X-Box 360 Driving Wheel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought I would give this wheel a try since it was so much cheaper than the other xbox wheels.
The good:
1. Looks decient
2. Easy to attach
3. The Z circle in the center of the wheel is actually a D pad so it makes getting around in menu's easy
4. Cheap
The bad:
1. The wheel has the largest deadzone I've ever seen in a gaming wheel... you can turn the wheel over 1/3 of the way in each direction before games will see that the wheel has been turned, making it virtually impossible to drive down the road.
2. The analogue acceleator and brake pedals are almost button like rather than analog. They do press down as if they were analogue, but in game reguardless of the setting I use it is either on or off with no control of how hard I'm pushing it.
3. The 4 position gear shifter and hand brake seems to only be forward, back or centered not sure how it has 4 positions. I could possibly just be using it wrong since I havn't really tried to use it much since I can't steer down the road straight enough to worry much about shifting.
I've tested this wheel with the following games:
Need for Speed - Shift
Forza 3
Project Gotham Racing 4
Grid
Hope this helps with your decision on what wheel to buy.

Big Boy Xlerator Wheel Stand W/Microsoft Xbox 360 Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This wheel stand works very good ... is solid and hold the wheel in place. It's adjustable with 3 positions to accommodate various sizes, but I think the big boy would work for any adult. I use it with my PS3 Logitec wheel, and have yet to try the XBOX360 wheel adapter, but it looks like it would work fine. Assembly was quick and easy. I recommend this product.

Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This wheel is a blast! I was already addicted to Forza 2 and was moving steadily up in my career with the regular game controller. With this racing wheel (and pedals), I'm moving up even faster than before and the experience is dizzying - literally. I have my setup about 3 feet from a 50" plasma and the feedback of the wheel is so realistic that I was getting odd dizzy effects when going in and out of tight corners because my body was expecting to feel real world forces from the seat against my back and sides - and they of course were missing. Make no mistake, this isn't a bad thing - its a testament to the realistic feedback of the wheel. You feel everything - understeer, oversteer, grass, jerks when flying from grass back onto the pavement.
Prior to this wheel, I always detested driving the big American cars like the Camero or Corvette because they were so difficult to control with the normal controller - they would constantly slide out and wag back and forth because there was no feel. Last night I nailed several races with both these cars because I was finally able to control the car through power slides and oversteers.
Setup was easy. Though the manual says a system upgrade was needed, I did not find this to be the case. The wheel paired up instantly and I started driving in Forza 2 immediately. The only thing I had to figure out was how to change the camera view (I like the in-car view) because they moved it from RT to X on this controller.
I found a chair with a sloped back on it, put a lumbar pillow in place and just rested the wheel on my legs. Surprisingly it stays in place well though you'll want to wear a pair of jeans. At first, the pedals kept sliding forward on my carpet causing me to crash a couple times. I finally placed them on one of my wife's yoga mats and its been fine since. The only beef I still have is that in intense situations the wheel moves around a bit. I may look for a small table to mount the wheel. Also note that the "in the lap" setup makes it impossible to drive with mostly straight arms like the pros. I end up sliding the wheel forward so that its just barely hanging on to the end of my knees so that I can straighten my arms more.
One last piece of advice: don't make the mistake I did and select the McClaren F1 (or similar super car) as your first drive and expect to see a big change. You'll still be all over the place on the road. Work your way up and learn the controller because the turning radius takes some time to learn. Once you do, you'll be amazed.
Pros:
- Realistic feel, improved times, better control over rear wheel muscle cars
- Trivial setup
- High quality materials
Cons:
- minor: Pedals slide without some kind of mat

Xbox 360 NASCAR Racing Wheel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this controller for my X-box 360 & looked to have a really good time playing my driving games. Well the second day after it was delivered the shifted broke. I repaired that & continued to play my game. The very next day the upper right-hand lever/shifter broke off. The day after that the bottom right-hand lever/shifter broke off.
A few days later the upper left-hand lever/shifter broke off. All of the pieces broke within the first month that I have had this stupid piece of equipment. No I would not recommend this controller for any gaming system.

Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been playing Forza for a few years (since Forza 2) and lately I had been getting fed up with the choppiness that came with using a joystick for steering, so I decided to look around for an XBOX360-compatible racing wheel. I remembered using a really nice Logitech force feedback wheel on the PC with Richard Burns Rally and have been chasing that gaming experience ever since. To my dismay, I found out Logitech isn't licensed to sell racing wheels for the 360, that the only (real) choices were the finicky (and expensive/hard to find) official XBOX racing wheel w/un-tunable force feeback, the super expensive Fanatic Porsche-licensed wheel, and this very basic MadCatz wireless wheel with no feedback at all. Needless to say, I couldn't justify spending more than $130 on a "toy", so I took my chances with this MadCatz wheel...
...When it showed up, I was impressed with the build quality. The wheel has a nice weight/diameter/thickness to it with good rubber grips, and the pedals emulate standard auto pedals instead of being floor-mounted. The sequential stick shifter is a joke (in my opinion), the throw isn't straight forward and back (I), instead it's at an angle like / or \ depending on if you're shifting left or right handed, luckily the paddle shifters work well. The pedal mount assembly is nice and resists slipping on carpet, but the gas and brake pedals are too far apart. Also, I wish the brake pedal was stiffer than the throttle, but it's still stiff enough to modulate without anti-lock brakes. I expected the driving experience without any feedback to feel very numb, but the clock-spring in the steering wheel offers enough resistance to give a good (semi-arcade) feel. I have it mounted to a small writing desk in front of my couch, which is PERFECT, but I would assume the leg mounts (with nice rubber grips) would be enough to keep the wheel planted in your lap through the tight apexes.
Overall, I'd give this racing wheel a 3/5 or 7/10. It's obviously not up to Fanatic standards, but it's also not even half as expensive. If you play Forza or any other driving games, you need a wheel. If you can't justify spending an arm and a leg on gaming accessories, this is the wheel to get.
Pros:
-It's a racing wheel!
-It's XBOX licensed so the center X (dashboard) button still works.
-Controls work smoothly, no excessive dead spots or grittiness.
-Good design.
Cons:
-No feedback of any sort.
-Iffy stick sifter.
-Pedals are too far apart (requiring left-foot braking).
