Editorial Reviews :
An incredibly realistic racing wheel is available for PlayStation one and PlayStation 2. This is the wheel that truly maxes performance on Gran Turismo 3. Wrap your hands around the rubber-clad wheel, extend the retractable leg supports, drop your foot onto the pedal and hang on for dear life. Vibration feedback adds to the realism, and the Accudrive system lets you tune the wheel sensitivity to fit your preferences, from wide open street steering to the tight linkage of a Formula One rocket. You don't have to commit, either-with 10 programmable action buttons, and 3 control modes (Steering Wheel, Analog and Digital), you can take the Mad Catz MC-2 Wheel to Talladega, Le Mans and a no-holds-barred desert rally all in the same afternoon.
Buyer Reviews :
I have long searched and I mean LONG searched for a good racing wheel and this is it. I have personally tried out almost every wheel and pedals on this site and this one is far superior to all. It has sensitivity tuning so you can customize it to your own needs and has easy button remapping at the press of a button. Some people who own this product refuse to spend the 5 minutes needed to read the simple instructions and correctly tune it for each game. It now even comes with instructions specifically on how to set it for Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2, one of the best racing games ever. Many things make this a great buy:
First of all, it has digital and analog modes, so it can be used on almost any game, playstation or playstation 2, despite what this site says.
It can be fully callibrated for sensitivity and dead-band.
It has suction cups for hard surfaces and retractable leg supports for comfortable lap placement.
It has all of the standard playstation buttons, plus a very nice shifter and two-way butterfly buttons mounted on the back of the wheel, which are great for Formula One shifting.
On the main body there is an LCD guage that measures accelorator throttle. (very cool)
The pedals have rubber pads that keep them in place during the most abusive acceleration, though it is little needed because of the vertical vector pedal collumns that change the center of gravity to keep it in place. There is a foot rest on the side for when you are not braking and the pedals have grip textures to keep your feet from unwantedly sliding off.
Everything is very durrable and can widstand lots of abuse unless you are bent on braking shifter with unnesisarily hard shifting habbits, though trust me, I have only heard of one braking and everyone else seems quite happy.
The pedal connection is USB.
Very comfortable grip.
Even though this is the best wheel I have ever used, it is still not perfect. The wheel is a little to small, and does not go around as far as I would like, though it makes turning a little easier. Sometimes when you set the shifter it also remaps the up or down d-pad buttons, but they are not used during raceing and can be easily set right when needed. Some people complain that the leg-wells are to close together, but it is more snug than tight and does not hinder lower leg movement, so there is no difference in use of the pedals. As I have said, this is the best wheel and pedals I have ever used other than that of my own car and it is worth your money. If you dont happen to like it then you obviously have not used some of the junk out there and you can return it anyway. Have fun!
