 "Hard to control" 2010-02-01
By Skip Rohde (Asheville, NC)
The design of this wheel is pretty good. It's lightweight and sits in your lap. Paddles on the back of the wheel operate the gas and brakes. It's easy to plug in and use without re-arranging your living room. However, my wheel was extremely sensitive near the center. It was impossible to drive straight - just a little pressure on the wheel would cause the car to swerve all over the road. The normal PS3 controller gave me better control over the cars than this wheel did. Logitech has a good design, but they need to work on their electronics.

 "Nice wheel, but no pedals?!?!?" 2009-12-29
By Wendy (Milwaukee, WI)
I bought this for a gift to replace my husbands older corded Logitech wheel. Only problem is that it does not have gas and brake "pedals", as descibed. All you have is the wheel/console itself. The only "pedals" seem to be the paddles behind the wheel, that one would think would be the shifters. We tried to configure the controls to use the paddles for the gas/brake, and the thumb buttons for shifting. Impossible to play GT5 like this. If you are used to having a real wheel and seperate pedals, there is alas still no wireless or bluetooth (PS3) option on the market. This one is being returned tomorrow.

 "Description is Incorrect" 2009-12-16
By Tiffany N. Wolford (Rainelle, WV)
Amazon's description is incorrect. There are no pedals included. I bought this as a Christmas gift and am going to wait until after Christmas to see if my husband wants to return it. I thought $50 was a great deal, especially because it was wireless, but when I got my package and realized there were no pedals, I was pretty disappointed. Amazon really needs to fix the product description and box contents information so customers know what they are getting.

 "Amazon description and box contents is incorrect" 2009-10-02
By S. Arthur (NY, NY)
I purchased this item from Tiger Direct via Amazon. The description says that the wheel turns 900 degrees and comes with brake and gas pedals, which is incorrect. There are no pedals and the wheel only turns 200 degrees. I called Tiger Direct, who was surprised to realize that Amazon has this product described as such, as their direct website does not. This may not be important to you, but it was to me. Tiger Direct has provided me with a return label and is reimbursing me for the full price and shipping costs, which I'd give them credit for since this is apparently Amazon's mistake.



I did not try the product, and so I can't comment on it's functionality.

 "Works for me at the right price!" 2009-07-14
By RexB (EasBay, CA)
This is my first driving wheel for games and got this on sale for $50 on a local store. What drew me to it further was the wireless feature. I didn't want wires in my living room so i figured this would work out perfectly and it did (there is still a wire for power though). It is simple and i can easily grab it and play with my PS3. I just wanted simple and that works with GT5 pro, RR7 and other demo driving games (Grid,NFS Prostreet etc.) I'm really happy with it and really didn't mind having the accelerator and break controls on the paddle shifters. I was really surprised how comfortable it is having it resting on my lap and i can seat comfortably and play on my recliners. The force feedback is very good as well, gives you the feeling that you're really driving in the game. Now i really enjoy playing with GT5 with cockpit view or just the head's up display. For the price and convenience i give it 5 stars. I was originally thinking of getting the G25 but that would require me to invest more on racing seats, wheel stand etc..This is a lot better option than the PS3 game pad driving. But for the amount of time i play with my PS3 this wheel is good enough for me.

 "Awesome!!!" 2009-11-04
By I. McClumpha
This wheel is great. I've been playing racing games forever and I can't believe I never thought to get a wheel before. Anyway, this wheel is great. The wheel itself is perfect, and the pedals work well too. If you love racing games, and are waiting for Gran Turismo 5, you must have this wheel.

 "Better Than Reality!!!" 2009-10-23
By Ben Bailey (Atlanta, GA USA)
Games I Tried: The Logitech Driving Force GT is one of the best steering wheels you can buy and the price is crazy awesome for such great quality. The games I have tried it out on are: Gran Turismo HD, Burnout Paradise, GRID, and Need for Speed Shift. Everything ive tried except nfs shift worked AWESOMELY. In GRID you can feel the tiny bumps in the road and feel the gears change just like real, and the game recognizes the wheel and actually has customization settings in the pause menu to let you make the wheel more comfortable, grid is definately a game to get for the wheel. In Burnout Paradise you get overwhelmed with speed and power and its just so crazy awesome with the wheel. Gran Turismo HD doesnt have all the capabilities and isnt as good as gran turismo 5 prolouge only because the wheel was actually made for gt5p, but gthd is still pretty realistic.Yet the one game thats been a disapointment SO FAR has been NFS Shift ,,its a great game but it seems like your car wants to swerve around by itself with the wheel, so I suggest renting the game if you dont already have it if you're planning on playing the game with the wheel.



Cons: There are some bad things that I didnt like. The fine tune adjustment dial ONLY works for GT5 prolouge. The PS button ONLY works (so far that I know) for GT5 and NFS Shift ( go figure ). The stick shift barely gos up and down, just a little click,but I got used to it. It was a bit tough to find something to attach the wheel to considering my coffey table was quite good enough, but i figured it out pretty good. And the big thing is the cords, you got a cord going from the pedals to the wheel, a cord connecting the wheel to the PS3 so its not wireless if you thought it was, and A CORD GOING FROM THE WHEEL TO THE WALL!!! the only purpose of the power cable is for the force feedback for some reason, so if you dont care for the force feedback then you wont need the power cable.



Cool Stuff: First when you plug everything in the wheel starts to turn by itself calibrating, and I was just

Super-Excited at that point. In Burnout especially, when you jump a hill the wheel gets really lose and when you land it jerks over just like it really would. The GT symbol in the middle is actually lights up. In Grid especially, you can feel the bumps in the road and feel the gears change. The wheel turns 1.25 times both ways like it says and it actually works right. LOOKS CLASSY BUT POWERFUL! Pedals have a retractable grip on the bottom. Has Pad shifters on the back of the wheel if you dont like to use the regular shifter. The GT symbol is also supposed to be a horn, but I haven't found any games capable of it.





I HIGHLY SUGGEST GETTING THIS WHEEL OVER THE REST!!! Unless you want to shell out an extra $200 for a six-speed shifter and a clutch, you should save money considering i bought mine for $60 not including shipping and saved around $250. I have even heard a couple people say that they got a copy of GT5 prolouge for free, but i didnt,,,i wasnt expecting it though..........BUY THE WHEEL!!!NOW!!!

 "Totally worth it!" 2009-10-05
By R. Harrington (Sacramento, CA)
Lots of fun. Adds a new level of fun to the game. Gran Turismo is good on it's own, but much more fun with this steering wheel. The feedback is strong and life like. The buttons are fairly well laid out. The spiny nob is a neat twist but not useful too often, but still, when you need it, it's nice to have the option. It's much easier to fluff the gas with a pedal than with a controller button and you can apply the right amount of brake for the correct period easier too. The steering part is just fun. Also much more accurate with the wheel, I do not have a hard time stabilizing the car and keeping it pointed in the right direction. Following the correct line is much easier now. Highly recommended for simulation fans.

 "DF:GT Wheel Review" 2009-09-23
By Pamela Kaplan
This review is for those that are looking into getting their first wheel or don't know much about racing wheels, and to clarify some questions I see many people had with the wheel. This review is with the PS3 only.



First off, from my score, obviously I liked the wheel. Like most have said on here, it's of great construction. The wheel is of plastic and is heavy and solid; the pedals are plastic too, but is of the highest quality plastic you can get. The wheel has a rubber grip on it, which makes it comfortable and avoids slippage. The GT symbol in the black button in the middle of the wheel lights up very subtly, so it doesn't distract while playing but looks good. Some have said the shifter feels cheapish, but it's actually the same hard plastic, and is of nice quality.



Racing on this instead of the controller does take getting used to. At first I was skeptical and thought my track times and performance had actually decreased, but after a day of play I found you get comfortable with it and driving becomes second nature without much thinking involved (like driving a real vehicle). The wheel is great fun, and it really responds well to turning and such (you can tweak the wheel in most approved games).



For those getting a wheel for the first time and some clarification on features:



What is the force feedback? When does it work and what is it for? Force feedback only works with a very few select games. In fact, from my collection, I have found it only works with Gran Turismo: Prologue. What the force feedback is: when you are driving your virtual car, the wheel actually has a strong motor inside that turns and jiggles the wheel in reflection to the game world. Say your car is on a steep graded curve. The wheel will want to turn you towards the top of the curve because thats the way the physics pull the car, so as others have mentioned you have to 'fight' with the wheel. Prologue has settings for how hard the wheel turns you, so you can set it to your liking. This is what ultimately makes the wheel worth it, and makes driving become second nature with the wheel.



The compatibility is something that needs to be brought up and clarified. The wheel will work with some racing games that let you pick your control settings, or sometimes it will be set right from the start. However, if you are planning to buy this wheel to play with all your car driving games (For example: Gran Theft Auto 4, Motorstorm, Wipeout HD, and others) then you might want to reconsider.



From what I have found, this wheel will only reach it's potential in GT:Prologue and GT5 (when it arrives). Even if it works with the game, there is no force feedback and the wheel either is very tightly locked by the motor and hard to turn (GTA4) or is left to turn loosely without any motor feedback, making driving awkward and difficult. Also, none of the extra games I tried use the pedals either. You have to push the 'X' button or 'R1' button in the middle of the wheel while driving, which is nearly impossible while steering.



Now, if your are getting this for GT: Prologue, GT5, or other compatible racers:



What is the red colored dial, and what are the plus and minus buttons near the bottom of the wheel? These are actually only used in GT: Prologue and probably GT5 later on. They are used during a race, and are the only way to tune your car in the game. You press the button in the middle of the red dial and a quick menu pops up. You navigate up and down through the menu with the Plus and Minus buttons, and then turn the dial to change the setting. You can change ABS, TCS, Braking for rear and front tires, and more. Remember, this only works in Gran Turismo! No other games have this feature (that I have found) or make use of these buttons!



Some have given different impressions on mounting the wheel. You can adjust the clamps quite a bit, and they come with a section that is removable to give you even more space on thick tables. Some have said you need a heavy object like a wood table to mount to, but thats not completely true. I used a TV tray, with crossing metal legs and hard plastic surface, about 24 inches off the ground. Yes the table moves a very little bit, but it's not a big deal at all. Actually, a little bit of movement makes driving easier for me. My only complaint is if I sit back on the couch I tent to push on the wheel and that slowly slides my stand forward on the carpet. Otherwise TV trays and lighter tables work too. However, for the ultimate experience, get one of the 'wheel stands' which are probably sold here on amazon (they are expensive, more than the wheel). Almost everyone will make do with tables and stands though.



The wheel auto calibrates it self (which scared me the first time!) when you start a game or turn on your system by rotating all the one to one side, then back to the other, and finally rotating till the wheel is centered. It's a nice feature that makes sure your wheel is centered every time.



The last thing I wanted to touch on was the shifter. Although it only has a movement of up and down (which I was disappointed in at first) I grew to like it that way. When you are racing, you want as little distraction as possible, and with this small click up and down, it takes the hassle out of shifting. The pull on the switch is very short, about a half an inch before you shift. This is nice and makes shifting quick rather than wrestling with a slot machine handle type deal.



One last thing actually: In contradiction to others, I purchased this wheel in September 2009 and mine did NOT come with GT: Prologue so don't count on that.

--------



All in all the wheel is of great quality, and works great with Gran Turismo (And games that specifically support racing wheels). However, if you want this to race on other games, or not working well on other games is a deal breaker for you, look elsewhere. Thats the largest issue with this wheel by far. In it's defense however, it is the 'Official wheel of Gran Turismo', so that says something about the product...



It's great for the money, much cheaper than the G25, and in this case you do NOT get what you pay for, you get something much much better!

 "Great gear!" 2009-10-16
By Gregory H. Copeland (Norfolk, Va)
You really need this wheel and pedals to experience the most from your racing games. The vibration and force feedback make the games a lot more fun and realistic.

 "New challenge to Race Games" 2009-08-12
By R. Padilha (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
After 2 years playing GT4 finally I bought my Racing wheel. Logitech Driving Force Pro worth each dollar spent on it. Take your place on cockpit and let fun run in your veins!!!

Pros: Good price, force feedback, gear buttons behind the wheel.

Cons: Wires, wires and wires. Wirelles gas and brake pedals and wheel wiil be really welcome!

 "Logitech DFP wheel and pedals" 2009-08-04
By FordDude (USA)
This is my second Logitech DFP and I highly recommend it to those who do not want to pay and arm and a leg for a wheel and pedals. The unit is used with my PC and I race in three sim racing leagues so it gets a lot of use. I had my previous one for over 3 years with no problems and gave it to a friend after purchasing my new one. If you're on a budget this is a great purchase. I just hope they're still making it when I think it's time for a new one.

 "Awesome!" 2009-04-25
By Ali Ezad Abbas (Atlanta, GA)
I've been using this wheel for almost 6 months now and its given me hours of fun. I use it mostly with GT4. It takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it you can literally shave seconds off your best times! Once you play any driving game with this wheel, you'll never go back to the analog controllers. The force feedback is awesome. It really adds a new dimension to the whole game playing experience. Feeling the tires losing their road grip during turns helps you compensate well before you get into a spin! An excellent product overall! Highly recommended for all racing enthusiasts!!

 "Great wheel & pedals for GT4" 2008-11-30
By Kevin Huckins (California, USA)
Gran Turismo 4's driving experience gets a whole lot better with this wheel and pedals. It will feel like a new game as the realism is enhanced. Not to mention the added feature of displaying a steering wheel on the screen so that you don't have to look at your hands (not an in-car view, get GT5 Prologue for that). I definately recommend it.
