Logitech USB PlayStation 3 Driving Force GT Racing Wheel

I have tried three differnt steering wheels for my PS3, one by Intec (it worked ok with some games), a (madcatz do not recomend) and then this one went one sale for $82 and change. If you want to play your driving games with a wheel and can not afford $200.00+ you should buy this one. I have spent thousands of dollars on amazon, and this is the first time I have felt like I really wanted to let other people know about a product. I am that impressed. The main thing about this product is it does what it says it will plus it works with all 8 racing games I have and WORKS SIMPLEY, and very WELL. It just comes with a quick start pamplet and computer software, everything was easy to install, there are wires but in my opinion they are not a problem. All the wires are a good length. I recieved it on 4-21,so I can not say about durability, although there are no junk parts, it is all quality material and sturdy. After I loaded the software to my notebook and disconnected the USB cable I thought OH NO, when I tried to open the file the window opened but only with the tool bar (unless you connect the wheel via usb) but do not panic when I hooked the USB to my PS3 and loaded a game (Dirt 2)all I had to do was go to conrols in the game menu and choose a configuration the wheel started moving on its own, about 15 seconds. Then I went to a race mode and everything worked PERFECTLY. This was the same process I repeated on all my other driving games, same result perfect controls. The game I had the hardest time playing before this purchase, Nascar 09, finally had a wheel that worked, and was finally fun. I was thinking of getting rid of the game because it was no fun with the Dual Shock controller, and no other wheel worked all the functions. This one does! and very simply.One game Grid, I tried to select the wrong confiq. but the wheel would not let me, it held me there (in that menue) until I was one the right confiq......WHAT A SMART WHEEL. Still only my opinion this PS3 steering wheel feels as realistic as can be expected and is simple to use. I enjoyed playing racing games MUCH more w/ this product(other games, nfs shift,paridise burnout, baja 1000,nfs und.cover,nfs pro street& of course,GT prolouge 5. I hear there are more games that are compatiable on manufacturer website.

This is a excellent product with the current software playstation makes. At first I was worried with the slight lag in the wheel until I hooked it up to the ac adapter and configured it with Grand Turismo 5. Then with the wheel turned off there was no lag. Now I'm not saying in the game in a high end sports car at high speeds there is no lag. Yes there is a big lag at high speeds.Think about it, If there was no lag at high speeds you would roll your car which the software couldn't show in graphics. The design of this software doesn't show roll overs, just crashing to the side of the tract. I'm not a software programmer only all the games I've played or at least Grand Turismo 5 doesn't show roll overs. It's just the nature of the beast until ps3 games can support software with roll overs this is the best you can get in a car simulator wheel.Maybe ps4 Car Club will support car roll overs. Only until it comes out we will never know for sure. Until now this is the best you can get in a fairly low cost wheel. There might be other ps3 games that support car roll overs only I'm not sure.Right now as I write this review this is the best for the price you can get. I'm happy with it after I cleared up the lag problem. Now I know better.I just checked the wheel after this re-review and it had a slight lag with it unpluged to the ac adapter. Yesterday it didn't today it does.I still like this wheel and I'm sure it will re- calibrate when I restart Grand Turismo 5 or plug in the ac adapter again. It's not a perfect wheel only look at the reviews on You Tube and see that most people like it. I hear very little negative about it. That said get it if you're in the market for such a wheel.I just played a ps3 game called need for speed hot pursuit, a 2010 game only still relevant to this day, and this game had no lag even at high speeds only in a low end police car. I don't know how it will respond to a high end car. Probably like Grand Turismo 5 maybe. This is a game where you can chase speeders that have high end cars.The police sometimes race in high end police cars too if you can go to high enough levels or try to avade the police as a speeder.It's a cool game so far and I recommend it with this wheel and gas pedals and brakes. The wheel and pedals are extremely responsive with this game. This wheel is now as far as I'm concerned well worth the money even at the home store Amazon price.
