Manufacturer's Description
Get ready to experience the most realistic steering wheel ever made. With 900º of wheel rotation, the Logitech Driving Force Pro duplicates the true to life steering dynamics of cars like never before. Inside, the advanced rack and pinion steering system lets you turn through 2.5 steering wheel rotations. Outside, the rubber wheel ... sequential stick shifter ... and responsive accelerator & brake pedals all combine for an incredible level of performance. And for games that don't support 900º steering, the wheel automatically switches to standard 200º mode. Combine that with state-of-the-art Force Feedback technology, and you have the most advanced, most authentic driving experience in gaming.

Well made wheel, works on PS3, PS2 & PC
This is a well made wheel and works perfectly with both PS3 & PS2, I have even tried on my PC and it works fine.
I did find though that it DOESN'T work properly with Ridge Racer 7 on the PS3 because it only selects 200 degree mode with no force feedback ( I have heard that these features are in the US version but not the EUROPEAN version)
Gran Turismo 4 has full 900 degree & force feedback support whether on the PS2 or PS3.
I have found that Burnout 2, 3, Revenge & Paradise (Demo) work brilliantly with the wheel.
The wheel automatically runs through a checking process when powered on & again when a game starts, during which it automatically selects 200 or 900 degree mode dependant on which the game supports.
All in all this is a well made item & if you are looking for a wheel this one is worth the money.
I have given it 4 stars mainly because logitech stated it was compatible with Ridge Racer 7 in 900 degree & with force feedback but it isn't (not in Europe anyway) otherwise it would have got 5 stars.

At last a proper steering wheel.
I have always hated gaming steering wheels, not one of them worked realistically. No matter how much I persevered I simply could not get used to how sensetive they were.

Then came along this steering wheel. 900deg of rotation...like a steering wheel in a real car...3 turns lock to lock...like in a real car. If you thought Gran Turismo was realistic, this steering wheel takes it to the next level of realism. In my opinion then next level beyond this would be an air bag deploying when you crash :-)

All aspects of this steering wheel are perfect, the only negative I would say is that the motors are a little noisy but then that is me being a bit pedantic.

Another key aspect I like, when you are hammering down the start finish straight in a Nissan GTR, braking at the last minute, the last thing you need is for the pedals moving when you are hard on the brakes, not with this set up. Logitechs unique carpet grip system ensures the pedals do not move. Incidently whilst I am on the subject of braking, the pedals are like in a real car where the accelerator is light and free whereas the brake pedal has resistance, the harder you press, the harder the car brakes.

All in all, if you can't afford the G25, then go for this one, there are no compromises, this is an amazing wheel, the G25 is more amazing.

Great...At 900 Degrees
I bought this Logitech wheel aiming to play it first with two PS3 games I already own: Gran Turismo Prologue (Japanese disc version) and Burnout Paradise.

Starting off with BP, I found the wheel could sometimes be quite twitchy and could lock up when trying to execute take-downs. For instance, when trying to push an opponent into a wall, if they escape it is very difficult to correct in time to stop slamming into the wall yourself. The performance of the wheel and pedals is fine in games such as this when steering in a relatively straight line, but when going hard into corners the steering can become quite erratic.

Moving on to GT:P, I had much more positive impressions. This is largely due to the 900 degree steering mode in this game, which gives a wheel user a qualitative advantage over controller users, because it is possible to steer further right or left with the Logitech wheel. The wheel just feels more "right" when used with these types of simulation driving games, and offers more precise handling for the gamer. Although I could not switch off Froce Feedback via the menus in this game, I found that unplaugging the AC adapter from the mains switches this feature off.

Build Quality: Very good indeed. Solidly built pedals, wheel and wheel-mounted buttons. However, the integrated USB cable (which comes out of the wheel housing) means that if anything happens to this cable, you'll have to buy a new wheel.

Overall: I have given this wheel 4 stars because I feel that when used with games that do not support 900 degree steering (such as BP and most other arcade racers), the Logitech wheel lacks precision and the option in many cases to fine-tune steering and brake/accelaration sensitivity via in-game menus. The wheel has no installation software, so it is entirely at the mercy of each game whether they support such fine-tuning options via their own menus.
