Genius Speed ​​Wheel FX

Another excellent Genius Game Steering Wheel that is designed for those who prefer to play on PC and PS3 console, except that the vibrations will be supported only on the PC. Quality workmanship and leather lined hoop are a fraction of what is obtained by very solid price.
Another Genius model steering wheels that is intended for those who use multiple platforms for gaming. FX Speed ​​Wheel for the PC and Playstation 3 console, however they should still know that vibration will fail on the PS3, it will only work on the PC. This is the wheel that is slightly more interesting design than average and seems to us like a pretty good deal for those who want to repeat, but do not want to spend that much money. What you can expect to have an excellent performance, good and robust design and the price is not high for what you get, as usual behind the wheel of similar characteristics should pay a little more.

The steering wheel is made ​​of is always attractive and popular red and black combination, with the rim diameter 25,4cm lined with skin, which seems really very good and quite nice in the hand. The steering wheel can be fixed in two ways, vacuum rates at the bottom (which requires a working surface that is completely smooth) or the discipline that comes in the package, which is a great addition if you have just a smooth table and plenty of strong holds, except that it would however, should take care because it is a plastic that may break if tightened too much. In any case, when a good place, there will be no shaking or slightly larger when the wheel is moving. The package with a brief user's guide and CD with drivers, and we encourage you to check the manufacturer's website if there is a fresher version.

Genius Speed ​​Wheel FX details 
Wheel in the central part has six function keys (with a little less visible functions), while the left and right four action buttons (left arrows and right keys are numbered and recognizable symbols PS). On the back side we have the classic lever to change gears, but the two buttons on each side. Use the screws on the left side of the steering wheel can break the (to take up less space when not in use), which is quite convenient. Pedals are well done and quite out of the ordinary, with the brake on the left side that is slightly larger area, while the gas pedal is expanding from the bottom, so it is very easy to pressure. Resistance of the pedals is excellent and the acting gets real.

Review summary 

This steering us quite liked especially was the ring that really gives the impression of a real steering wheel, especially when there are the vibrations that added the necessary dose of reality in all simulations. All together, the steering wheel is easy to install and firmly held in place without any problems switch from PC to Playstation 3 console, and it is only a shame that the PS3 will not work vibration. All together, the price is pretty good for what you get for the same money will not be easy to find a much better model.

Conclusion 

We do like this steering wheel, especially the ring that gives the impression of a real steering wheel, especially in combination with force feedback that adds the necessary dose of reality in all simulations. Overall, the steering wheel is easy to install, you can transfer it from PC to PlayStation 3 console, and if it is the latter case, you should not count on force feedback. Overall, the price is affordable for what you get and certainly, it is not going to be easy to find a much better model.

Thrustmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition Review

In most sales volume dictates the speed of development of some products, it can be seen from the examples of the game steering wheels. This market is very "slow" and deals mainly focuses on casual drivers and children who do not have too many demands and the most important is their price or special, almost hand-made ​​using elements whose kits know to cost significantly.

Thrustmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition is not a member of any of these classes , but a special game steeing wheel that tries to answer perhaps the greatest obstacle to purchasing the wheel - setting for gaming and storage when you're done.

Its wireless!

Congratulations enthusiasts who can not afford a special place behind the wheel , screen or TV , possibly the seat and other extras , but for most people, the reality is somewhat different , and most people would like to drive sometimes , but when it does not work , do not want that their " toy" mind in the home and entering someone 's eyes. Thrustmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition is a wheel that requires no cables and can be after playing pack that takes up less space . To make things even better , this unit is entirely a stand for the steering wheel and pedals , in one piece , you will appreciate all those who have at least a few times in my life and come with wheels removed several sections and several meters of cable . This wheel comes in an interesting box , from which it is difficult to remove , but it is very difficult to remember the position and layout in case you need it again back in the box.

Connectivity

The steering wheel is reasonably massive, but will not impress anyone who wants the steering wheel is solid as a rock. This Thrustmaster steering wheel has no force feedback, which is a mitigating circumstance because this fact allows the steering is reasonably usable, although not maximally robust. On the other hand, the lack of force feedback motors will now make a number of readers abandon the text and the steering wheel, but the omission of the engine is almost necessary for complete wireless experience.

The device connects via a wireless USB connector , like most of the ( wireless ) mouse and keyboard . The receiver has a switch on it with signs PC and PS3 , and also should be noted that the Thrustmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition can be used on PCs and PlayStation 3 console. However , the fact that the steering wheel can be run on the PlayStation 3 console , does not guarantee that it will work perfect , what will explain a bit later in the text . The steering wheel requires four AA batteries to powering its wireless connection. We do not know how much the battery will last, given that we are steering test a few days , but we see no reason that the batteries are quickly consumed , on the contrary .

The steering wheel can be adjusted in such an amount (angle ) and depth . To adjust the angle , ie . height is necessary to loosen and subsequently tighten the two screws (which of course have a plastic top that could be turned by hand, without tools ) , while the depth is fixed with one screw. This setup is actually quite good and it is suitable for chairs and armchairs , two seat and three-seater , as you may be required height , and sometimes deep. The steering wheel can be folded after playing to occupy less space , but its advantage is actually that there are no cables and can be moved right away it does not matter .

A very important thing when it comes to ergonomics is how the wheel base and its setting range meets people of different heights . For a person a height of about 190cm , the wheel was not big enough , even it was a little reserve and height and depth , so that on this point I have no complaints . Also, the steering is heavy enough not to slip on the fly , on the other hand light enough that it is difficult to move . All in all , the wheel is physically pretty good , we would say better than that would require those who designed , although of course this wheel can be extraordinary tough, because you simply rely on their own design .

In addition to the minimum of problems related to packaging and physical tuning , they come true when you want to adjust the steering wheel ( software ) . The steering wheel actually has a solid number of settings , but there is no way to logically conclude how it works , but to consult the manual . Most of the settings based on whether you want to feel the pedals are separate or combined, as well as to how the " deadzone " have the steering wheel when turning . These two options will be crucial to make itself an optimal or at least better control and other settings ( such as presets buttons) will not be used by most users.

If you did not understand from the name , this wheel mimics that of the real Ferrari F430 car, and the steering wheel of the car there is a switch that turns depending on the style of driving conditions and how you want the car electronics ( not ) help . This toy steering wheel to switch that uses the aforementioned settings , but once again, I logically can not figure out what to do , but you need the manual .

As we said, there is no force feedback steering wheel and it will be an obstacle for many players. Immediately it should be noted that it is possible advanced and long playing with the steering wheel without the motor, but that the wheel will be difficult to characterize as extremely serious, and so is the case with this Thrustmaster. The steering wheel is turned about 3/4 of the circle, which is another, so to speak, a problem for serious gamers. On the other hand, the small rotation and the absence of high resistance can even be advantageous for children or arcade driving. I spring resistance is decent, but will never be able to replace the force feedback, not only because of the resistance, but the overall feeling.

Both PS3 & PC

As we said , the steering wheel for the PlayStation 3 console and PC , and the results of the PlayStation 3 console will always be great. Of course , first we have included Gran Turismo 6 , legendary game whose last sequel came about a month and a half ago . After getting used to the wheel that was positive , we found that the wheel is not great at GT6 game when you start to drive faster . The problem lies in the game itself , as well as general support for the PlayStation 3 The console steering wheel does look like a regular analog controller . It generally does not mean anything bad, but if Gran Turismo 6 game it is. Grand Turismo 6 game is specifically optimized to be a solid drive and game pad , but driving wheel that mimics game pad is a bad idea .
Specifically , in the fast corners if suddenly you turn the wheel , the game will just ignore it , because it is designed to ignore the exaggerated movements through small mushrooms controller. This idea is actually quite good and makes it easy to ride game pad, but as I see it difficult driving wheel that is "present " as game pad . Steering wheel in Gran Turismo 6 game can be useful for children or drivers who are beginners , but you will sooner or later figure out the problem because the steering wheel is not officially supported by the game . We looked for settings in the game and on the wheel that the situation has improved , but unfortunately did not find anything .

As for the PC, a general support for steering wheels and accessories the better, provided that the time set aside for fine tuning, which is partially located in the driver, a part of the game itself. This game steering wheel will certainly behave better on the computer, but again no guarantee that it will perform well in every game, just because some games will work fine with any one wheel, while others require a long time to find the ideal setting. However, it must be recognized that the steering wheel is generally good as far as feeling that provides the maximum as far as it can tell the wheel without force feedback motors, and as far as possible support issues, they can in most cases be attributed to the creators of games and not this column.

Conclusion 

Thrustmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition is a great wheel for those people it is intended, but I must say that these are not serious riders. Lack of force feedback motor eliminates him from any of the stories on wheels that will be used for the simulation of driving enthusiasts. However, this wheel many will appreciate, since it will allow them what they probably dreamed of for years: that there are no cables, they do not need a special bench (or table), it can easily be put in front of any screen or monitor and does not have to be bothered when not in use. You need to be objective and say that these people are far more than those of the first; in such a target group may include all of 7 to 77, who play any kind of driving, from arcade to simulation (for undemanding way).

We are confident that in the above passage contained the main obstacles to the many people who want to buy a steering wheel, and this model Thrustmaster exceeds almost all of them. Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition is almost ideal for those who have a girlfriend or wife in almost furnished apartment, which has no understanding of your wheel. In addition, the wireless wheel will allow you to easily set up in front of your biggest TV and you will not have to use a smaller TV or monitor for gaming. This wheel is ideal for children because it can be easily adjusted to be able to reach the pedals, but also because it is not necessary every time you screw a kid desirable to play - above all, the absence of force feedback motor is certainly an advantage in the case fewer children.

Overall, the Thrustmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition is a wheel that many would wish, but it will not interest those serious riders, or those with shallower pockets. However, this wheel fits the many problems that know the wheels to create at home, a Ferrari glaze in the eyes of most people certainly be a plus. Ultimately, this is the only wheel that provides answers to some of the problems mentioned above, so virtually in a class by itself. Maybe not the best drivability us that every day hanging out at the virtual cockpit, but for many users objectively great, if not the best choice.

Genius Trio Racer F1

Genius Trio Racer F1 

Very good Genius steering wheel that is designed for those who in addition to PCs still have a console available, so they need a model that will work without a problem everywhere. Good build quality and performance are coupled with a fairly good price.
We know that there are many who like to play driving simulation, so there is always a good market for good behind the wheel. Genius is well known for its tremendous periphery of which an important place is occupied by models designed for gamers. This wheel belongs to a middle class, which is seen primarily at the price, and what is important now is to say that does not support vibration and that is compatible with three different platforms. This means that it will be a great option for those who plan to upgrade or buy another console with your computer, so suits them to have to drive everywhere to do rather than having to buy for each model individually.

Genius Trio Racer F1

The steering wheel looks not much different from most other models that we could see, and that is not centrally mounted Genius logo, it would be difficult to estimate what the manufacturer is. Build quality is excellent, perhaps better than average in this category, and the steering wheel seems very robust. The average diameter of the ring, and the side parts made of rubberized plastic, so that a better grip on it and not when scrubbing your hands sweat. The whole drive is easily fixed to the table, you get the clip-clamp screw that attaches easily to the table and ensure that the wheel will not budge no chance, even if it pulls really hard and Cima. This is better than a vacuum carrier that still need to be fixed on a smooth surface or they will not do the job.

Genius Trio Racer F1 details
The steering wheel on the left side we have 8-way Dpad button on the right side four action buttons, and in the middle of Select, and Start Mode. Behind the hoops we have two levers for shifting and two additional buttons. Pedals are pretty much the standard design with non-slip surface for your feet, slightly stronger springs and a lot of good to use. What we immediately noticed is that the Trio Racer F1 be able to connect to the PC, PS3, Wii or GameCube, so that practically covers all the most commonly used platform for gaming. What we zafalilo only vibrations and that they were also built, this would really drive a complete solution. Although there are no specific settings in terms of sensitivity, we have not had any problems or complaints so far.

Summary

Genius has some great behind peripherals, including gaming controls certainly take a very important place. Trio Racer F1 is of excellent quality and seems to endure a little rough handling without any problems, the controls are well spaced and the only thing we are missing and possibly vibrations to which we are accustomed. On the other hand, there is not much in the wheel shop that will work on the PC, PS3, Wii and GameCube console, and so from that point of view this model has an advantage over the competition, and hence the following recommendations with regard to the great price.

Thrustmaster Universal Challenge 5 in 1

Great for fans of the universal wheel driving simulator was developed in collaboration with Ferrari-operation. Excellent performance, very good price and the fact that work on 5 different systems to play speak enough for themselves. Thrustmaster has excellent cooperation with Ferrari-operation we have seen in previous models, gamepad and steering wheel's, and came to us and a model that is perhaps most interesting, Universal Challenge. What is specific is that it supports as many as five different platforms (PC, PS2 and PS3 Sony console, the GameCube and Wii), so the only missing support for the Xbox, so that ultimately there really a universal solution. This wheel is definitely a great solution for those who have access to several systems to play, and they need a quality wheel that will not cost very much. Thrustmaster Universal Challenge 5 in 1 Key Features Ferrari license Very high quality production Great performance Support system for 5 to play Spoil the impression No vibration Specification Controls: 6 buttons, a sequential gearbox, two pedals Interface: PC, PS2, PS3, GameCube, Wii Thrustmaster Universal Challenge 5 in 1

When the extract, as we expect, obtain a separate steering wheel and pedals, with accessories for mounting and fixing the steering column to the table. The first strikes us in recognizable Ferrari logo on a yellow background, and we know that Thrustmaster has excellent cooperation with the famous automobile manufacturer. Although the real steering wheel can be used without locking the table (there are rubberized on the bottom rate), it is best when used when hooked and fixed to the table so that somewhat resembles a real steering wheel in the car. Steering wheel rim is a medium size, but without the texture rubberized so it's pretty comfortable to use, especially as a special resting place for your thumbs. Those who are used to separate transmissions will have to get used to sequentially which is modeled on one used in the Ferrari models in the form of two "blades" behind the steering wheel rim.

Thrustmaster Universal Challenge 5 in 1 steering wheel and pedals more The steering wheel is automatically centered and has a relatively strong spring mechanism that contributes to the reality of the ride. In addition, it can be nice and set the sensitivity level of the wheel, so that each controller can adapt their driving style. At the wheel we can use an 8-way D-pad, 6 extra keys and Select, Start and Mapping, as virtually all the keys can be programmed as desired. Pedals are made of plastic and at first glance do not seem so interesting, but very precise and well defined with a lot of resistance, so that they contribute something to gain greater impression of reality when playing. What is perhaps the most important thing is that this wheel to work on 5 different gaming systems including PC (a USB connector), which may interest those who have more consoles available. Summary This wheel is certainly one of the better models on the market, Thrustmaster has invested a lot to gain valuable model Ferrari logo, and seems to be that successful. This wheel is really a great opportunity to reach top controller that does not cost much, that will work practically on anything other than the Xbox, and the game provides an excellent dose of reality. Hayley can someone that does not support vibration, but this is not crucial. It's nice to see that for such a good controller does not have to spend a lot of money, and that a wider range of people can enjoy driving simulations....

Which Logitech steering wheel to chose?

As for the Logitech Chillstream controller for the PS3, it can be said to be a pretty good device, but it is difficult to praise. The reason for this is that the controller has to be compared with the original PS3 controllers Sixaxis/DualShock3, which are almost perfect. Only by the quality of the original mushroom Chillstream džojpedima rival, while in other areas a little more or a little behind. Our biggest complaint, which refers to the strenuous feeling of holding in your hand, usually can be justified that the deficiency arose as a result of making room for the fan and the cooling channels. This controller does not feel in total can be compared to the Playstation Sixaxis or Dualshock3 džojpedima. The only two, though not at all weak ace is a relatively affordable price and cooling system.

When it comes to frills, but the situation is slightly different. In fact, Sony is not directly engaged in production of steering wheels, but it is more than obvious that Logitech has their "good friend" when this segment of the market in question. If you are, for example, see the report from a visit to Polyphony Digital home, you could see that they have at their disposal a new Driving Force GT (with all original boxes) many months earlier than he had appeared in the sale. Needless to say, the close connection of Sony Computer Entertainment, Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo with its series) and Logitech. Previous Logitech wheels have always worked best in the Gran Turismo games and no other (the PC, the PS) game is not communicated so well with a steering wheel, no matter what mag were setup and calibration of the wheel. In some ways, the Logitech Sony says "this is how the wheels of our look, if they were made," it says about GT and putting labels on the wheel. Logitech does not say that without Sony could not make a great wheel, much of it, but it seems that a combination of Swiss precision and Japanese "folly" lethal combination for competition.


Logitech Driving Force GT

When you have to mention the competition, we can say that it practically does that every day gets weaker and weaker. Many brands of wheel is sold, but only in that the lowest segment, consisting of wheels which gave a relative before the elementary school children, but who would buy one for serious driving. All other segments of Logitech is appropriated and not on the horizon it is a serious competitor. On the one hand, the virtual monopoly has not led to job otaljavanja by Logitech, but I know one example where competition has not helped consumers get more for less money? We have nothing against Logitech, congratulations on their quality and reliability, but of concern to customers as soon as we wish them fair and strong competition.


Logitech G25
As for the summary Vibration Feedback steering wheel, all of it can be said in one sentence. Not for serious driving, is good for young beginners in the virtual automotive world, because children better than this and should not, and when it does not have any Force Feedback, which once known to be very rough. As for the other three wheel, the situation is quite clear, but note that their price, for our concepts, is not an primanjiva. Driving Force Pro is here for a guide can be found around 120 euros, while the G25 will cost nearly unattainable 265, sometimes even more euros. The newest wheel, the Driving Force GT, is not yet on sale, but based on prices in Europe, is expected to cost, again a guide, about 150 euros. Driving Force Pro, although it has a rough Force Feedback remains a fantastic steering wheel if your driving style is calm and precise, and if the track chasing every hundredth of a second. If on the other hand you want to try it sometimes in addition to the written driving style a little more attractive and more popular, "Drift", you will not be able to do with the DFP, and for that you'll need at least Driving Force GT. GT has a fantastic ring, the size, fabric, button, until the Force Feedback. What the weaker, are pedals, which are identical to DFP. To be honest, these pedals are very good quality, but as the DF GT is priced halfway between 100 and 200 euros, we believe that some improvement was necessary to pedal. If you want DF DF Pro and GT, and you are not passionate "drifter," Trust us, you're unlikely to convince myself to do it, no matter what the Driving Force GT at the very least a great wheel. The leader of the dominant steering in the commercial solution (and we say this because it is possible to buy a low-volume solutions for driving, but you are advised that their four-digit price) will continue to Logitech G25. It's not perfect, because we do not particularly like the leather steering wheel cover, a little tougher gas and clutch, and a bit fragile 6-speed manual transmission. However, the key point of each wheel, accelerator and Force Feedback are perfectly made with G25-ice. Force Feedbakc the DF GT wheel is practically perfect, and keep in mind that the G25 is the better and more realistic. If you want to run after every second, G25, with its large metal pedals behind the steering wheel, almost perfect, FF and such great pedals. When you want some fun, switch to sequential transmission with full manual mode, use the clutch and practice "-the fifth fingers" technique. G25 does not justify its price because it will soon nearly equal the price of used Playstation 3 system, but little is said of the steering wheel that he can not resist. The two most valuable prizes awarded for the site two of the best steering wheel to test also the two best steering wheel on the market.

Logitech Formula Vibration review

If you read the text from the beginning, you could be sure of what we consider to Vibration Feedback steering wheels are not worthy of racing simulations. Logitech Vibration Feedback Steering Wheel is the weakest, although representatives of the offer of many beloved home, keeps its more advanced form of the brothers ... at least at first. The ring diameter of 10 inches with the center are connected by three arms, corresponding to the keys. Cursor button on the left and set up four buttons in a cross (or square) on the right. While the steering wheel to drive up to serve, this position allows for easier control of other games. On the front we see six buttons and a seventh that is used for on / off vibration options.

Pedals reveal that this is a low-end wheel. Although stroke is not too small, the quality of these pedals, and the sense that they provide is rather low. In addition, "box" pedal is very light and has no mechanism for attaching to the surface, so often the case that the pedal is moved from the place that you set them. Vibration Feedback Logitech uses a very simple system for attaching the steering wheel - a simple construction, but not simple to use. At the bottom of the wheel set are three decent sized vacuum caps. Since this has no Force Feedback steering wheel, this method of mounting the wheel proved to be very reliable in even remotely smooth surfaces, but the problem is after using the scroll wheel. Today it is impossible to imagine without a steering wheel buttons / butterfly / pedal the back wheel and Vibration Feedback is no exception. On the back we can see two conventional keys, which proved to be good for timely changes in speed or a series of rapid changes in speed down.

Logitech Vibration Feedback has not proved good for serious endeavors, not only because there is no Force Feedback. The subjective impression is that the steering wheel too thin, while the bigger problem is that the ring is lined with little or rubber or other skid-resistant material. The three-pointed structure looks attractive, but we think that in this there is another drawback of this wheel. Namely, the arm position is too high, which may be a good solution for resting your hand on long routes, but without doubt the high hand position reduces the precision driving.

Of course, this lack of Force Feedback steering wheel removed from the race even if it comes to the most perfect ergonomic steering wheel. For the serious racing simulation we talked about at the beginning of the text simply Force Feedback is essential. Logitech Vibration Feedback Wheel it may still be good for dads who want their serious steering wheels to keep the young future use of reckless drivers. Given its low price, Vibration Feedback Wheel can also be a nice gift, but still only a child, but for any serious purpose to Seek a wheel with Force Feedback mechanism. The biggest drawback of this wheel is that it does not work in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue game. While working in virtually any other Playstation 3 game (regardless of whether or not the ride), Gran Turismo, obviously recognizes this prevents the steering wheel and drive with him, although the move through menus and adjust fully enabled.

Logitech Driving Force Pro review

Driving Force Pro is already a veteran on the world stage the steering wheel for PC and Playstation. However, Logitech is the steering box of his old label said "PS3" and that means they believe that the DFP is still a worthy representative of that riding on the Playstation, and this well-known global brand and to plan for the future. Where, however, now DFP in relation to other steering wheels?

Driving Force Pro is a high quality steering wheel, but it is still behind the GT Driving froc, especially G25 wheel. This situation is, after all, and with the price. DFP has a ring smaller than the G25 and the GT, which in principle is easier to use, but larger diameter of the ring, however what is closer to reality. The ring was lined with near-perfect rubber compound with excellent comfort level increases and decreases the possibility of slipping during strenuous and time-consuming drive. In addition, the arm position is almost ideal. The keys are arranged in the classic PlayStation controller layout. In the center we see the Logitech logo, although the earlier series in the center of the steering wheel had a GT (Gran Turismo) logo, but that title is now left to the successor (Driving Force GT). At the rear, there is no expected DFP butterflies, but a simple good-sized keys. On the one hand, it is the fault, while on the other hand, requires no more than 15 minutes to get used to precisely change. In addition to transmission on the steering wheel, DF Pro also has a sequential gearbox on the right side that is doing the same things as the keys back, and to you to decide what way you shift appropriate.

As far as pedals, these are "ordinary" plastic, which have an advanced system of resistance as a shock through the G25. In addition, see the constructors Logitech managed to get the best out of this construction. The stand is a great size, while the two pedals are large enough and well placed. Brake a little more resistance than gas, as well as ideas and attempt to achieve at least part of the effect of the G25, but unfortunately it's just a good effort that will never be able to achieve results as a G25 with their pedals.

The system mounts the steering wheel is very simple and very good quality. Built-in clamps and large screws that can be turned by hand seem to be very firm and solid and nothing on this issue do not have to reproach. When it comes to that, all things in place, it is good information to the pedals on the bottom with spikes that would be great to keep the rug or carpet. The good news is that the spikes can be retracted so as not to scratched tiles or flooring, but if you put the shoes on this surface, keep in mind that they will not be maximally stable.

Driving Force Pro, and all the wheels of the test (except Vibration Feedback steering wheel) is turning to the left to the right of up to 900 degrees. Previously, we were already on the site He studied topic that 900 degrees is necessary for accuracy and real feeling, and will now make some difficult steering wheel with 180 or 240 degrees, as it used to be commonplace. What makes Driving Force Pro GT behind the G25 and frills, is the "Force Feedback". The FF is doing its job well, but the way it works is too rough. GT and the G25 steering wheel with FF which gives the same feeling, the same level of information, but it is much smoother to use. One might wonder what's the problem. The point is that the Force Feedback wheel on the DFP does not like sudden movements, and accepts only driving school. At a time when the car away and you need a quick adjustment to the position of the wheels, FF is not cooperating so well with the driver, not even close as the Driving Force GT steering wheel and the G25. And this should be added to a growing number of games, including Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, in itself a "Drift" (for what is really unusable DFP).

DFP can be an ideal wheel for those who drive calmly and school. But if you belong to a group of those who flee the car often, often changing directions, you like to drive aggressively and attractive, then the DFP only a very good wheel, but in this case, considerably behind the GT and G25 models.

Logitech Driving Force GT review

Driving Force GT steering wheel that is much anticipated and for which, among other things, and did this test. Although the latest wheel, it is not intended to be in the top of the range, because there remains the undisputed G25, but, as its name suggests, was conceived as an improved version of DF Pro steering wheel and backing Gran Turismo 5 game.

Compared to the Pro model, the GT has a larger diameter of the ring, which is certainly commendable. The good news is that the ring is still covered with a very high quality rubber that provides a higher level of comfort and prevents the "slippery" situation. Since the larger diameter of the rim, and the thickness remained the same as the Pro model, the visual impression that the rim is thinner and that the hand may be uncomfortable. After use, no one gets the impression that, far from it, but this wheel is lying in my hand almost perfectly. As for the keys, the primary keys are in place, while the additional attraction of this wheel. In fact, there are new buttons designed for a new feature that makes GT5P for changing TC, ASM and ABS settings in the race. We're not saying that this is a crucial, but congratulations on the effort. GT logo in the middle is actually a large button that in some games, for example, could be a mermaid. In addition, the DF GT is the only wheel that has a PS button, through which you can log out or shut down the console, without having to include joy pad. This button is gaining particular importance now that Sony allow "in game" XMB feature.

At the rear, DF GT expected no butterflies, but a simple good-sized keys. On the one hand, it is the fault, while on the other hand, requires no more than 15 minutes to get used to precisely change. In addition to transmission on the steering wheel, DF, and GT has a sequential gearbox on the right side that is doing the same things as the keys back, and to you to decide what way you shift appropriate.

As far as pedals, these are "ordinary" plastic, which have an advanced system of resistance as a shock through the G25. In addition, we see that the designers of Logitech managed to get the best out of this construction. The stand is a great size, while the two pedals are large enough and well placed. Brake a little more resistance than gas, which is a good idea and the attempt to achieve at least part of the effect of the G25, but unfortunately it's just a good effort that will never be able to achieve results as a G25 with their pedals.

The system mounts the steering wheel is very simple and very good quality. Built-in clamps and large screws that can be turned by hand seem to be very firm and solid and nothing on this issue do not have to reproach. When it comes to that, all things in place, it is good information to the pedals on the bottom with spikes that would be great to keep the rug or carpet. The good news is that the spikes can be retracted so as not to scratched tiles or flooring, but if you put the shoes on this surface, keep in mind that they will not be maximally stable.

What where the Driving Force Pro and GT wheels are different and what is essential is the improvement of the new Force Feedback wheel. Although the FF DFP steering wheel gave a lot of information and enabled extremely precise driving, was not good in the field felksibilnosti. This is because it was very tough and very rough, and no further adjustment is not a software tool to avoid the feeling of roughness. DFP was great for a quiet ride and school, but for any emergency ventures was slow or unusable. This meant that he gave a lot of trouble if the driver was driving a car or disobey if driftovalo. DF GT brings a new engine rumble feature, which retains the accuracy and a large amount of information, but significantly increases the flexibility of the steering wheel and general feeling of the ride. FF new steering mechanism seems similar to the one on the G25, but it is not. G25 has two engines, while the Driving Force GT "only" one. G25 remains FF wheel with the best quality, but at no time does not diminish the quality and dosignuće new Logitech steering wheel. In fact, the only significant difference between the DF GT and G25 are great pedals that has G25, while the DF GT is just a solid pedal is the same as the older Driving Force Pro wheel.

ACME USB Racing wheel review

ACME USB Racing wheel


A new name in our market, ACME and Force Feedback steering wheel very good prices. Impression? For this money, this wheel offers excellent performance, without any major objections. Most of us missed the manual transmission, and everything else for this price and higher than in its place.


ACME is the name of the company's Coyote Super Genius always buy a variety of gadgets with them trying to catch a bird strips, but the name of the company from Lithuania whose products you can buy and recently by us. In a flood the market with brands that rules from the Far East, here's an opportunity to see something a little less further east. What one can immediately tell the ACME products that are very competitive prices and we will check how things stand with the quality. To begin, we will see mandatory addition to all those who love driving simulator, steering wheel and pedals.

ACME USB Racing wheel F391

This kit consists of the steering wheel and pedals, while the manual transmission unfortunately absent. I do not think that he is something indispensable (especially when driving around town at the peak), but the games certainly contributes to the reality. The steering wheel is fixed on the table by holding the vacuum rate is quite good and require a lot of force to be freaked out. In size, the wheel falls into the very center of what we have seen, and no problems will fit into smaller tables. As far as ergonomics, there is nothing that can be referred to as the angle of the steering wheel locked. I ring is slightly smaller than would be ideal (at least according to our taste) and allow the turning radius of 200 degrees, that is, 100 degrees in any direction relative to the central position.

Spring wheel is quite stiff and the steering wheel quickly returns to its original position, which we liked. How does the classical transmission, there are only "rocker" at the wheel, like the transmission formula. While this works quite well, we did not like it there a little after clicking glasnijeg are quite soft and do not give a special feeling when you change gears. Handles mounted on the steering wheel are rubberized material that resembles the skin, and while this is great for comfort and prevent slipping hands, white simply promises to be very fast wheel dirty. Buttons on the steering wheel is pretty much as much as 10 configurable with a four-way D-pad. Is this a plus or minus will depend on the user's taste, it seems to us that it is better not to be so crowded at the wheel.


Pedals do not seem particularly interesting, made of average quality plastic textured to prevent slippage of the foot. Resistance is medium strength and probably the majority of users. What is important is that this supports Force Feedback steering wheel for what they charge two vibrating motors. In games, this all does its job quite well, which is the most important and the games take on a new dimension that takes a little getting used to. The steering wheel uses a USB interface, while the pedals on it together with a separate cable connector. After a bit of getting used to the testing, we encountered some major problems and there are no specific objections.

Summary

This wheel has sufficient conditions (force feedback wheel that costs less than 30 €) to be more than successful. The build quality is superb but for the money quite zadovljavajući, while the game behaves quite well. How to judge by the rehearsals, the steering wheel seems quite durable, and we believe that it is able to withstand many aggressive handling, which is a gaming controller is also quite important.

Sweex Vibration Force wheel review

Sweex Vibration Force wheel review

An excellent and very affordable Sweex steering wheel with vibration support is intended for users who do not want to spend too much money on the controller, but will not give up on vibrations. Perhaps the weakest part of this kit are the pedals that we were not thrilled.


Although many people have heard of the company Sweex, many of them did not know that there are toys manufacturers of peripherals. On this occasion we will present the steering wheel with support for rumble features in games. This is a Force Feedback version, ie embedded micro vibration motors provide that should give the player feel like sitting in a real car.

Key Features

• Very good price
• A lot of good ergonomics

• The quality of finish is bad

Specification

Sweex Vibration Steering Wheel Force

When you uncompress the file, I have the steering wheel, pedals and accessories for fixing on the table. The steering wheel is medium in size and looks quite attractive due to a combination of blue, silver and black. When we look deeply, we see that the blue color of the rubber things that serve to provide a better grip and comfort, that is, increase the ergonomics. We would like however that this tire has a texture as it is very possible that little slip when hands perspire. Build quality is average, and we noticed that the plastic still Krk and squeaks when you use a little more energetic, and perhaps not a bad idea to be a little more gentle when used for a part not to give way.

The steering wheel on the bottom of a vacuum rates hold fairly strong (of course, provided that it is as flat and smooth enough), but just in case there is the accessory that is mounted over the wheel base and fixed to the underside of the desk-like discipline. This seems a bit clumsy and what we are concerned, it might be missing from the package. The second part of the story that the pedals are plastic and they liked us too. As there is no spring that would give resistance, pedal just does not contribute to the feeling of reality in games.



The steering wheel is a lot of keys, even 10 (all marked with numbers to make it easier to configure), with an additional D-pad (8 lines). In addition, there is a Mode button to turn on vibration, and the back of the lever to change gears. These bars are pretty good quality and a "click" to work quite convincing. By connecting to an available USB port and installing the driver, the buttons can be programmed as desired, depending on the game. The vibrations are quite good and definitely mean a lot in the driving simulator steering wheel when the robbery, vibrates depending on the times and act like you're really in the car. The steering wheel is otherwise okreteti by 45 degrees in each direction, and many are well demonstrated in the games.

Summary

Although we build quality did not impress from the start, the fact is that the game showed great and I really do not have any specific objections you may make. Key has enough for everyone, and the general impression is that this wheel is a very convenient solution for customers who do not want a lot of money to spend on the steering wheel, but would still like to market a model with support for vibration.

Media-Tech Chase Booster review

Media-Tech Chase Booster Steering Wheel

Gaming controller in addition to the computer can be used on Playstation 1 and 2 and 3 consoles. Build quality is very good and stylish design in combination of black and silver matte plastic. Control a lot, a total of 12 keys with excellent transmission and pedals. Because it supports the vibrations, this wheel really worth every penny and deserves recommendation.


Media-Tech Company are met through a variety of peripherals that we already use, including, at least until now there has been a lot of devices designed for gamers. This time, because we see a great wheel that already at first glance appears to be much more expensive and better known names. Once again it proves that it pays to look and see what manufacturers offer that does not belong in the big leagues, because very often you can find real pearls, just as is the case this time. This is a wheel with support for Vibration, USB and PS2 interfejskom and build quality that is really promising. Although it is slightly more expensive than the cheapest models, this difference would pay without thinking.

Key Features

• Excellent quality, more expensive models in the range
• Rubber ring, excellent transmission
• Vibration supported
• 12 keys available

Specification

• Media-Tech Chase Booster
• Number of keys: 12
• Controller: semi-automatic gearbox, the two levers behind the steering wheel, pedals
• Extra: Vibration
• Interface: USB/PS2
• Optional: Support for Sony Playstation 1 and 2
• Media-Tech Chase Booster

Chase Booster is a set of handlebars and pedals a bit futuristic, which we quite liked it (though perhaps not so much to those who love the design of racing cars). The first thing we noticed is that the build quality is excellent, the plastic is very good and not Krcka when pressed a little harder. The steering wheel is fixed to the table with vacuum rates that keep him very firmly and not easily removed. This however requires the flat surface of the table. The whole volume, the steering wheel rubbed and feels great in your hand, and that there is a texture that mimics the skin, will not slide when in the hands of the hands sweat a bit after several hours of driving. On the right side of the steering wheel is semi-automatic transmission with a potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment, which is great as it can be adjusted in the middle of the game.

On the left of the steering wheel as Select, Start and Set buttons, with an additional five buttons and status LEDs below. At the wheel is an analog joystick on the left, four buttons (marked for the Playstation) to the right and two additional buttons on the bottom. Behind the wheel are standard two levers that can also be used to change speed, as in racing cars. The steering wheel can be rotated 270 degrees, and Force Vibration technology works quite well and adds much-needed reality driving simulations. Pedals are another part of the story, of excellent quality with aluminum inserts that resemble real racing pedals, and the right side there is little rest for the left leg, which is very convenient.

Summary

Chase Booster is an excellent show, it is very easy to install and to say once again that it can korstiti and Playstation 1 and 2 consoles, which means that those who have a PC and console gaming is likely to be most interested. Build quality is excellent, the control has enough for everyone, and the price of fifty euro really is not too high for this controller because there is not too much competition in this price points.

Logitech G27 Racing Wheel review

his is one of the best steering wheel that can be purchased, and there is no dilemma. Luxurious combination of metal and leather, excellent build quality and performance, we were left breathless. The only thing that anybody not like is the price for which we expect will be quite high.

Logitech announced the Logitech G27 racing wheel that is designed to bring gamers the ultimate racing experience the PC and PlayStation systems. G27 features a powerful, dual-motor force feedback mechanism provides smooth and accurate force effects. The steering wheel is covered with leather upholstery, which will give the luxury car driving experience. Comes with a steering wheel set are more the accelerator, brake and clutch that contribute to maximum realism using this set. The steering wheel has a LED speed / gear that helps you decide when to change gear. Logitech G27 should become available by mid-September in the U.S. and Europe at a cost of about $ 300


We eagerly rushed to try one of the best steering wheel that can be purchased, the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel. Do not waste many words on the manufacturer, there is hardly anyone who has not heard of Logitech, which is valid for a leading manufacturer of computer peripherals. As the latest in a series of steering wheels, G27 claims title of most prestigious in the controller of this type, it becomes clear as soon as the extract. All parts of the superb workmanship and luxurious finish certainly not cheap, but this is far from the average steering wheel as much as 10 Flag of Porsche: both do the job, but the sense is fundamentally different (you guessed it in their favor), which indeed is true for price .

 

Logitech G27 Racing Wheel
Key Features

1. Top quality finishes, used as metal and leather
2. Dual vibration
3. Unparalleled sense in games
4. Very easy to install

Specification

• Number of keys: 16 programmable plus D-pad
• Controller: manual transmission, two levers behind the steering wheel, pedals
• Optional: double vibrations
• Interface USB/PS2/PS3
• Logitech G27 Racing Wheel

Probably the most important part of the wheel sets, and G27 is really impressive. The casing is made from high quality plastic (the front looks like the front of the race car) and the bottom has a built-in lever for fixing the table. Up there are two round plastic plug that is pulled from the housing and the lever that opens and closes. The mechanism is simple and very efficient, and once fixed will not be so easy to move. I wheel with three spokes and a diameter of 11 "and lined with fine leather that is hand-heald, which really looks very attractive. The basis of the steering wheel and the lever behind (which are used for changing gears) are made of metal which is finely processed and seems practically indestructible. On the wheel are LEDs that signal the RPM, and six programmable buttons (three on each side). Levers are a short walk and very good quality, with a muted click. Volan has built-in dual vibration motors, and the turning circle is 900 degrees, or 2.5 circle.

 
Logitech G27 Racing Wheel wheel detail
Pedals are also very impressive quality, the substrate is made of plastic while the pedal to the metal clips, very strong and seem completely realistic (in fact better than most of the pedal that is used in the average car). The only gripe concerns the inter-distance because the clutch and brake too close and it will take some time to get used to them if you do not like to play simulation barefoot or in socks. Manufacturer is well figured out how to fix them to the surface, and in addition to rubber surfaces to be bonded parquet, there are special supplements on the bottom that is great to catch a carpet. Resting place for your feet is a sufficiently large surface area, and once you pass the gameplay, you'll want to have such a pedal in your car, the best proof of their quality.

 
Logitech G27 Racing Wheel pedals and gear detail
Transmission is fixed to the table much like the steering wheel, and is very stable. The plastic casing is made of excellent quality, while the head is covered with leather gear and feels great in hand. This is a six-speed manual transmission is very precise but short walk, which will delight those who prefer this solution in relation to the semi-automatic or sequential. In addition, the upper part is located eight progamibilnih keys and a four-way D-pad. Installation and connection is simple and the G27 is compatible with PC and Playstation 2 and 3 consoles. In relation to the steering wheel that we've seen and tried, G27 looks much better, much better finish and comes just a higher class.

Summary of review

In games, you get a completely different level of reality, since the impression is to sit in a sports car, a reaction wheel and pedals exactly matches what is expected in a real car. Simply, if it seeks the best steering wheel that can be bought, G27 is imposed as a first choice without doubt. For the top wheel like this is worth prištedeti and lucky owners will be able to enjoy the game like never before.

Canyon CNG-GW3 review

Quite a good wheel that is compatible with Playstation 2 and 3 consoles and PC. It has built a lot of vibrations that contribute to the sense of reality in games. Build quality is good, and the steering wheel quite well in practice.

In addition to numerous other peripheral devices, Canyon offers and devices designed for gamers. We obtain for testing CNG-GW3, steering wheel, which is next to a PC compatible with Playstation 2 and 3 consoles. The first thing we must conclude that the Canyon could have a little work on the nomenclature to potential buyers can better remember the names of products, since CNG-GW3 just does not sound much more impressive. In any case, before you have a lot of favorable steering wheel that is sure to be the most interesting computer in addition to those who love to play on consoles, because this technique will not have to buy multiple controllers.

Canyon CNG-GW3

The package arrived separately steering wheel and pedals, and also comes in a plastic adapter for mounting on the table. The steering wheel is of medium size (there are smaller, sportier models) and is 22cm in diameter, with a rubber ring that feels great in your hands. The ring was a little thicker (therefore potentially problematic for those with really small hands), but the ergonomic design makes it very comfortable for prolonged use. Since the rubber-coated steering wheel which is smooth, there may be a little slip when the palms sweat, but not so problematic that it would be a greater drawback. The steering wheel can be placed on the table without any fixing after the bottom has three rubber rates that will prevent slipping, but they are very small areas and it is quite possible that they will still want a little more vigorous with plastic clamps to fix the steering wheel to the table. Although we are not big fans of the plastic clamps as always acting like they were easy to break, in this case is a little stronger Canyon used plastic, so that will not be problematic.

 
Canyon CNG-GW3 steering wheel detail
At the rim there is a four-way button (top-left) and four buttons marked with the Playstation model (top right). In addition, the central part are four additional buttons, Start and Select Plus. These buttons are silver, which seems to be rapidly removed from use, so we conclude that the producer could use a little more quality and resolution. The steering wheel automatically returns to its usual central position, which is very convenient. In addition to the shift lever (which is an imitation of a manual), there are two levers behind the steering wheel which will delight those who like simulation. Turning radius is 270 degrees, and the software can be fine-touch up and sensitivity, so it can be a very nice set according to individual needs.

 
Canyon CNG-GW3 pedals and gear detail
What outsiders see is the built-in support for the vibration, which is always an option because that really acts as a steering wheel that the car is transferred to the sense of touch and road tires, cornering and traction. Pedals are also plastic, seem robust and give a pretty good resistance, like a lot more expensive models. Footrest has a texture that prevents slipping his feet, and the good thing is that the pedals will not skate on the floor pretty well because the rubber feet on the bottom. The build quality is solid the whole kit, not the best we have seen, but it seems quite tough and resistant to heavy use, which is great.

Summary of Canyon CNG GW3 Seering wheel

Although Canyon is not something a lot of famous gaming peripherals, CNG-GW3 is a great wheel of the middle class that can operate both on the PC and the Playstation 2 and 3 consoles, has a built-in dual vibration motors for and that it offers a pretty good price. Very often turns out to be very profitable and sometimes look for something other than those well-known brands that have resonance for names always more expensive. In this case, the Canyon has done a great thing and really has nothing special mention as a disadvantage.

Behind the steering wheel rim are placed two blades that have the function of the shift, as in the sequential transmission of real sports car. Immediately we notice that the wheel is automatically centered, with a very strong spring, which seems very robust. Pedals are also plenty of good quality, made of plastic, with more pedals and raised cradle that is textured to prevent slipping foot. Slippers for gas and brakes provide good resistance, not too strong, so that your feet will not bother you. In games and in both platforms, PC and Playstation 3 What we especially liked is that there is no need for any special settings, everything works from the first moment of connecting.

The main virtue of this model is and what the name suggests, and it's support for PC, PlayStation and Xbox. So, with one stone kill three birds with. This model is very compact, and will definitely fit on any desk, and when it will take a lot of places. Configuration is standard and there is a podium with a steering wheel and transmission, as well as separate stand for the gas and brake. Praise goes to the regular transmission, and one similar to Formula 1, as a lever behind the steering wheel. Because of the size, transmission, and not in an ideal position, but may turn a blind eye.


Impact 3in1 Vibration Wheel front, profile, transmission and detail of the wheel
At the wheel, there is a lot of keys that will help the ride, the center is like a real steering wheel, with the metal center. To the right of the steering wheel is located 8 directional joystick button, while another four directional joystick button on the left side of the wheel. In total there are 8 buttons and it is quite enough for comfortable playing. The steering wheel is rubbed, and fits nicely in your hand and provides a great feeling in driving. Stand with the pedals a bit, and the pedal is very plastic and does not seem too sturdy. The vibrations are quite good, and we would say that when this type of device in question, more than satisfactory.


Impact USB Vibration Racing Wheel

This is a thoroughbred PC model, with two built-in vibration motor, and the vibrations quite strong and real. It is very compact in size, so it's probably the reason for the omission of a regular transmission. Are present only as a lever for Formula 1, and we believe that whoever will not even try them want to return to normal transmission. Key has 10, and additionally there is the key to change the mode wheel, which is highlighted.


Impact USB Vibration Racing Wheel front and profile, the buttons and the wheel detail
The computer is connected via a USB port and included software allows for quite detailed settings and programmable controls. The steering wheel is rubberized and feels great in your hand, and that the fixation of it quite nice, no question about skating and moving. Pedals are analog type, but rather plastic and appear cheap. It is the only thing we did not like.


Summary

Both are very solid quality and well behave in games. Vibrations are well realized, a bit better with USB Vibration Racing Wheel models. On the other hand, 3 in 1 is a great choice for those who have next to your PC and a games console, since eliminating the need for kupivinom more controllers. Affordable price is what will be most interesting in these models, and to fully justify a potential purchase.

Premium Logitech G25 steering wheel review

Premium Logitech G25 - Fans of automobile driving simulation and a new toy you should not miss. It is the best and most expensive wheel from Logitech offers.

There are a number of people who only play driving simulations, simply they are rarely anything other than gaming interests. Because there are so technically advanced games, it is necessary to have adequate wheel that will stay in step with the times. Mentioned group of people will easily extracted and a large sum for the top product in their sphere of interest. New Logitech G25 has all the adjectives with the prefix "the best", so the price that is adequate. largest market wheel.

Logitech G25
Key features

• Exceptional quality of materials including leather and stainless steel
• Strong and consistent force feedback twin
• A six-speed transmission and rikvecom, manual or sequential mode
• The third pedal
• Weight and robust components
• The possibility of fixing the hand-made frame
• The space occupied by the table

Steering wheel

Lever located behind the ring is used for changing gears, such as the present and the expensive sports cars. There was no experimentation, it is a slightly modernized classic look of the wheel. You have the impression that someone has stolen the steering wheel of a real car.


Handlebar frontal, semi-lateral, lateral and front
Premium materials are used in the preparation of the wheel. The ring was covered with real leather, extremely precise and well-sewn. Metal parts are actually metal, not plastic painted in silver metallic.


Leather rim steering wheel close up
The steering wheel is difficult, and with the help of massive clamp firmly attaches to the edge of the table.


The bottom of the steering wheel • Carriers • Input port
Logitech is the model of force-feedback technology rose to a new level. Compared to its predecessor, the Logitech Driving Force Pro, there are many more neutral and more subtle but by no means inferior force-feedback. Long time for the wheel you can solidly tired muscles, but you can reduce the force-feedback strength to a level that you feel comfortable. Logitech G25 uses two engines to reactions in both directions was almost instantaneous.

Gearbox

Now you will see engraved sign for a six-speed and reverse, and switch which switches from a manual shifting mode to tiptronik bizina. As many as three different ways to change the speed, if you turn the levers behind the steering wheel rim. To insert in the reverse should be the lever to press down and then right and back.


Gearbox frontal, side and arm
On the metal part is located eight control buttons and a cursor to be able to more effectively manage the menus in the game.


Shift knob • Switch mode selection shifting • Additional keys and cursor
Like the wheel, which clamps are attached to the steering wheel very good job. If that's not enough, there are threads for conventional screws. The third discipline is there to reduce the possibility of transmission capsized or disconnecting from the table.


View of the discipline side, the bottom and up close

Pedals

Pedals are one of the most critical parts of the whole set, if they are not good the whole set fails. Innovation in comparison with its predecessor is a third pedal, the car also known as the clutch. Pedals and steering wheel, are made of genuine stainless steel that is durable and looks great.


Pedals frontal, semi-lateral, lateral and front
Base on which the pedals are very heavy and solid. Like the steering wheel and gear, and here are the thread which you can present to fix the base to say hand-made structure on which you have previously set up and tubs from a car. There are six coils of the bottom, which guarantees excellent pričvišćivanje for hand-made frame.

Steering wheel rim is the optimum size, but the problem is that what is covered. Namely, the ring of G25-ice coated the skin, which may sound atrkativno, but not too practical. Special rubber materials, commonly used for this purpose (and what a Driving Force Pro and GT wheels) are a better solution, both in terms of comfort the hand, and in the long run against sliding. Because the Logitech steering wheel pointed metal construction, eventually it could put only two buttons. On the one hand, it leaves an impression of tools meant to serious runners, while the other means more difficult to navigate through menus and settings, since the cursor keys and other gear in there. In addition, we do not consider that a substantial number of the steering wheel buttons make frivolous, given that the wheels of passenger cars on them, have more keys, while racing to conclude unnecessary.

G25 behind the huge metal ring has a pedal to change gears. The first thing that you win with these pedals is their size. In addition, the cold metal of the pedal, in a way, all four fingers on each hand holding constantly on call for timely and accurate shifting. The gear change pedal deserve praise.

The best part of the G25 gaming system without a doubt are the pedals. First of all, there is the clutch, if you want to drive with a 6-speed manual gearbox. However, the most important feature of these pedals (in addition to the metal) are the shock behind them that create resistance, which provide a realistic feel like a real car. So the lightest gas pedal, clutch moderately hard, while the brake pedal very hard. The feeling when driving, especially when braking is fantastic. What I must not forget is that the pedals are large enough, a base where there are huge and quite massive enough to stay firmly in place. However, we would like to have the clutch pedal and the throttle a little softer, given that during aggressive driving is almost guaranteed to fatigue both feet, both because of the hardness of the clutch for the left foot and right foot during the "heel-toes" techniques of međugasa.

The most interesting part of the G25-ice are full manual gear lever with a 6 speed and reverse. Although the construction of the handle itself is soft and krha not think that anything will break if you even remotely be careful. Lever is quite accurate and provides great entertainment. The good news is that the implementation of a 6-speed manual transmission in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is practically perfect (and it is called by pressing the "triangle" when the race starts). You will not be able to shift gears without the clutch pressed, you can not kretene if you do the same, and so on.
