Logitech Xbox 360 DriveFX Axial Feedback Wheel

I've been debating on buying a wheel for a long time , finally settled on this onebecause its backwards compatiable . It don't work as well as I thought it would fornfs under ground 2 ,most wanted and carbon as I hope it would.It works very well with burnout takedown,revenge,paradise city and midnight club l.a. The wheel works extremly well with dirt 2 but not with the original dirt.The main reason I only gave 4 stars is because the force feedback is a little weak. The fact that it isn't lap friendly was not a issue I made a frame to mount it on, and it works very well.I would recomened this wheel if you enjoy racing games

I have been able to try this wheel only on one game, NFS Most Wanted, but from what I can tell, this is an excellent wheel. All buttons from the normal controller are on this wheel, as is the directional pad. There are paddle shifters behind the wheel, but those function the same as the LB and RB buttons, so I can't use them to shift. There is one problem that really bugs me though; that is, there is no right thumbstick or an equivalent so I can't move the cursor around a map or move the camera around a car when I want. I have to wait for the automatic rotation, and then I can't see the roof, which bugs me. I'm considering getting the normal controller as well because of this reason.However, for reliability, this wheel has so far been excellent. The cars go where I tell them and there is no uncertainty in the wheel as to degree of input. Another neat feature is that there are apparently four different sensitivities, ranging from mild to extra-sensitive. I was wary at first as past experiences have not been good with wheels, but so far, this one has been excellent.Update 4-10-2010I continued to use this wheel through NFS ProStreet and Undercover, though I didn't use it through Carbon, and it has sadly gone off center. I do not blame the quality of the wheel for its failure, just my overly-enthusiastic driving. I contacted Logitech about the off-center problem after a failed attempt to repair the wheel myself and was informed that they would have to replace it and to send them the receipt. I couldn't do this as I purchased a used wheel and wasn't given a receipt. As a result, I have ordered the Microsoft "wireless" wheel as a last attempt to use a wheel to drive. If that one fails too, I will have to abandon steering wheels. My advice to anyone purchasing a wheel: if you will be playing a hard game and/or become frustrated, switch to the controller. The wheel should be used ONLY for gentle driving/racing. I know this defeats the purpose of a wheel, but I have become tired of damaging wheels every few months from hard driving and having to repair/replace them.

dont buy, is very bad, it's Hard and dificult to drive, I recomand you the original Xbox microsoft Drive Wheel.

I bought mine used, and it works well its just that the wheel got sticky and I had to wrap it with a wheel cover becausr nothing would get rid of that s***, I don't know how that happened..guess thats my bad!! but my only gripe with this particular wheel was that the wheel itself was to small, its like the size you might find on a kids toy.. but its sturdy and because its Logitech brand I know it will last.. I know I sound like a butt kisser for Logitech but I own several wheels that are low to mid range and Logitech makes a good solid product period...

I had bought this wheel in late March of 2007 and have used it for at least 1000hrs over those years and to this day it still amazes me as it has held up to me drifting(throwing the from back to forth) with the feedback on. Which is by far the best force feedback function I've experienced in a wheel besides the real thing. My only real problem with this product is the rear shifters on the wheel, which unlike the real thing the buttons move with the wheel(which have a slight delay in one that started a while ago),but the front buttons still work fine. Pedals are good, but have very little natural resistence and for me slightly too close together. I have since rigged it to a homemade canopy for a precise height, but this thing is a resilient piece maufacturing. If you can find one of these anymore I would recommend it highly over the Microsoft versions 10 fold.

I tried this Wheel with at least two different games and I just obtain more victories than without it, maybe it just so realistic feeling that I get an improvement in all games.

Seeing as the microsoft wheel is now not avalible (produced by microsoft) and microsoft pushed logitech out of the xbox market (this wheel is not produced any more) then that only leaves the three hundred dollar wheel or the extremly not recomended mad catz wheel if you want new. This wheel then has to be picked up used (dont be afraid of this word). I got mine for [...]and it is by far the best purchase I have made for my xbox. This wheel is all around very good and is very precise and all the controles are where you would expect them. It has a nice feel and is very easy to mount to any surface. This wheel when mounted right will not move at all and is not going to slide around ever. So this is by far the best for me and would be to you if you dont mind these draw backs. The wheel feels to small in diameter to be used to its full. This then makes it very touchy to drive in games and even on its leasted sensitive seting it is still a little quick. The paddle shifters are more like buttons and not paddles. The foot pedals seem to move around way to much and reqiures somthing behinde them to hold them in place (brick or fat cat). Other thing that would be nice but are not avalible on almost all wheels would be software for the wheel to get all the settings perfect and a way to make them not have as much gear drive noise. But any ways all around good wheel and is easily perfected if given a little practice.
