Fun:
I have previously owned the logitech g25 and a early thrustmaster enzo ferrari wheel and I now own the f430 wheel.
In my opinion this is better than the G25
It only has 270 degrees of rotation but I acctually prefer this as you can fight the force feedback without having to turn wheel through 900 degrees.
There are plently of buttons (13 to be exact)
The pedals are very high quality and have a good weight to them.
The paddle shifters are also brilliant and are made from metal and would be hard to break.
The force feedback is much smoother than the g25.
The mannetino switch is also a good addition to the wheel as you can change settings on the fly.
My advice to anyone thinking about getting a mid-high end wheel would be to go for this one as it is less than half the price of the G25 and better, fair enough it doesnt have a clutch and gearstick but it is still brilliant.

Fun:
I've had two of these since December.
The wheel looks great. I race rFactor and Grand Prix Legends regularly and this works absolutely fine with them once you install the drivers (included). The materials seem to be good - the rubber wheel surround is grippy and wears slowly. The metal paddles seem to be of good quality and make a satisfying click noise. There are plenty of buttons and the little red "manettino" switch is very useful for changing settings quickly. The clamping system is one of the best to use and the wheel is rock solid once clamped on. On my first wheel (more about that in a minute) the small rubber pads on the base slid off though, which meant it did start to come adrift of the desk in a heated race. No such problems so far with my second one. The wheel only turns through 240 degrees but this isn't really a problem, you can still be precise and real race cars don't have much more than 240 degrees steering lock anyway! The pedals are alright - I've had plenty of problems with the pedals in the past - but the material on these seem to be good. There needs to be a bit more weight on the base though. Force feedback is strong and fairly good.
I had to send the first one back after about 2 months. The wheel when turned was initially very quiet and smooth. However, after about a month, the wheel became noticeably "notchy" in turning, more so to the left than to the right. It then began to develop a clanking sound inside the wheel when turning which got louder. I would have opened the casing up to try and clean out the dust but that voids the warranty. Then it stopped working altogether. Thrustmaster advised me to return the wheel, so I did. Amazon promptly sent me another one which was good. The pedals on the new set failed to work, however! Luckily I kept the old ones.
However, after about two months of use, the wheel is starting to get that notchy feel again - not started to clank yet though!
Would be a great wheel if Thrustmaster could get the internal quality fixed - the external quality is excellent!
EDIT: It is now July - and the second one has now broken. Force feeback belt, which is meant to help with quietness broke and left me without FF. Also other internals came loose. I'm incredibly disappointed with Thrustmaster's build quality, I'd thought they'd improved significantly since the RGT, but to no avail. Logitech products seem sturdier, so it's time for me to save for a G25.

Fun:
This the first wheel I have bought and in my opinion, this wheel is ace. It will definately improve any compatible racing game. The wheel, pedals and clamp are very sturdy and can take a bit of abuse when in those close and sticky situations while the force feedback gives you a realistic feel to the game.
It has a 270 degree rotation and if anyone has ever seen or raced in touring cars or F1 it's plane to see that this is a more realistic rotation in comparison to a standard car (900 degrees).
The only downside is that there is no obvious way to fix the pedals to the ground. Therefore, people with petit feet may not be able to press hard on the pedals while keeping their heels on the platform.
This is definately a great buy at a great price for all those wanting to improve their racing games (and stop hand cramps by using the keyboard).
