Which Steering Wheel for XBox ?

Post by Mako Koiwai »

Inherited my son's Xbox 360 plus Forza2, PGR4 and Dirt while he's off at college.

Which steering wheel ... where to buy?

What's the most accurate racing simulation game for the XBox?

Looks like the top of the line Logictech G25 won't work with the Xbox ... so might as well get the Xbox wheel ... drag ... we wanted the clutch on the G25

For a seat, well not really a seat, check out http://www.wheelstandpro.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for a snazzy fold-away device.

President Simanyi and I both have it and it works great.

Is the WheelStandPro stable enough ... doesn't seem that heavy duty?

Yes, it is surprisingly stable - no issues at all.

Search for it on Youtube - quite a few videos with people using it.

Uyeda's setup is just ghetto :D

Get the Microsoft Wheel. While not perfect, it's the only one you'll find with true force feedback. Microsoft has somehow banned any other manufacturer from offering a feedback wheel for the 360. Note that the Logitech wheel is "axial" feedback, ie rumble.

Max, are you on Live? A bunch of us AZ autocrossers are on Forza2 every Monday night, it'd be great to get some CA people in also.
