Fun:
Okay, now as you might know Logitech is one of the leading manufacturers of computer hardware and steering wheels, and to be honest with you, they have made the best steering wheel I have ever used. I have heard that the Logitech G25 is very good but I couldn't Imagen it to be much better than this.
The Logitech Driving Force GT provides a strong and realistic experience for all players. Personally after you have got used to the wheel you notice it becomes easier and lighter to use (If not just change the settings on the game).
The way the wheel turns is strong and firm, also I love the way the wheel adapts to different road surfaces and terrain. E.g. in Colin McRae: DIRT 2 the wheel is very shaky and aggressive due to the rough road conditions, like bumps and dips.
For the pedals, although they're made from plastic, they are pretty lifelike and strong. You will notice the brake has more resistance than the accelerator and apart from there being no clutch the pedals do a very good job and work very well.
The pros of this product are:
- The force feedback
- Steering wheel size (11 inches)
- Button access
- Vibration
- Mounting access
- 900 degrees of wheel rotation
- Works well with The PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2
- Official Gran Turismo 5 product
The cons:
- Sequential gear change (No six speed)
- No clutch
Very good games to use with the Logitech Driving Force GT:
- Need For Speed Shift (PS3)
- Gran Turismo 5 Prorogue (PS3) (The Official Gran Turismo 5 still awaiting release date)
- Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
- Race Driver GRID (PS3)
- Colin McRae: DIRT 2 (PS3)

Fun:
I bought this wheel after a bit of research and concluding that although its for PS3 it will be fine for PC, although some buttons/functions wont work.
However, the wheel comes with PC software and every single button works on PC and I am absolutely delighted with this wheel. Force Feedback is great and the much-malined pedals are fine for me.
Works great with iRacing.
No need to get a more expensive wheel than this :)

Fun:
I have had more steering wheels than I should remember. This is the best, I have only played GRID so far, but it is amazing. Having tried to master the PS3 controller I relented and got this wheel and the difference is stark. 900 degrees is so slow in this game it is amost funny, 200 dgrees is spot on, so is the FF load and strength adjustments. Not having to fight the wheel as with some. Cant wait for GT5
