Driving Force Wireless™


"I've been playing F1CE on the PS3 for a year or so now, i've enjoyed playing this game via the control pad. I've always wanted a steering wheel for the PS3 & found them to be pretty expensive.....

Today I went out & purchased the Driving Force Wireless wheel, it was pure chance that I saw it & it was on special for $89 (AUD) - -bargain!!!

I'm glad Logitech make peripherals for all budgets & gamers, thanks.....

The wheel is quite light & has a plastic/hollow feel to it, the build quality may not be as solid as the GT5 wheel or G25. However, for this price, you do get a clutter free full functioning force feedback steering wheel. It's easy to setup onto the Ps3 & PC (more on this later). Easily sits in your lap & feels pretty secure.

The force feedback given by the wheel is responsive, pretty good - very adequate, can feel all the bumps, crashes & offers resistance when playing F1CE. Very immersive experience.

This wheel doesn't have gas/brake pedals - so it takes a little while to adapt to using the paddles for this function. These are pressure sensitive too so you have better control during races when taking corners etc! Don't worry, it does feel pretty natural after a few hours of using it.

DFW is for most gamers who would use it for arcade driving games or simulations alike. This wheel is for those who don't have the space or a coffee table in the lounge to set up a proper simulation layout. This wheel is all in one, so once finished with, can be easily packed away.

Finally, this wheel has full compatibility with PC driving games too without installing additional drivers. Works great with GP4 - Works on both XP & Vista (ive tried both too)..Highly recommend also downloading 'Logitech gaming software' for the PC, as it allows individual game profiles to be tweaked, configured / created for each driving game & saved.

Force feedback strength can be adjusted upto 150% power but only when connected to PC, whilst on PS3, FF strength is determined automatically by the game.
