    Xbox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel

    • To be quite honest, the controller was better than I expected and for driving (and hopefully flying) games, it is ideal for someone who doesn't want a huge driving setup (and most casual gamers do NOT want an elaborate setup for a couple of racing games).
    • While this wheel certainly doesn't compare to a force-feedback wheel and pedal set, it is a nice, compact controller that adds a lot to the xbox racing experience
    • That means that it will work as a regular controller with all the games you have, -even Call of Duty
    • My kids especially love it because they had difficulty using the controllers with their Sonic racing game, so this was a huge help for them
    • Not as good as a real wheel controller, but more convenient.
    • So take that into consideration when you say, "It's hard, the controller is better!"That being said
    • I'm going to keep this fairly short, because frankly i don't have much to say other than this controller is fantastic, and extremely responsive
    • I, too, like the other reviewer, was missing a standard controller while using this "speed" wheel.
    • Like many others said, this controller doesn't have the RB or LB buttons, but it doesn't really bug me
    • Just love it finally a controller for driving!!
    • I enjoy driving games and the standard controller is inadequate, and often impossible to use, for these games.
    • You really need the advanced wheel support in-game for this controller to be any good
    • It's far from perfect, but it's nowhere near as expensive as the real steering wheel controllers, and it's still fun to use
    • The controller is also very comfortable to hold in the hand and the packaging was excellent
    • In the end, I really like the controller.
    • The controller is very responsive and has made the game experience better
    • The controller is very intuitive to use, buttons provide just the right access to menu items you need
    • Other than that, it's a great controller
    • My son likes it, but he still prefers the basic controller
    • Without the LB this controller is useless for the game.
    • There are some applications where I think this controller would work relatively well, which I'll list below
    • Great controller
    • The controller overall is decent, I have found this to be a nice little wheel, with great control
    • Instant response, light weight and build strong this controller is perfect for those that want the steering without paying the big bucks
    • I was a bit doubtful at first, because I'm not even that big of a racing game player, nor have I ever used any motion-sensing controller, but this controller really is quite spectacular
    • The controller definitely makes the game more fun!
    • ALSO, THE PRICE IS RIGHT FOR SUCH A GOOD CONTROLLER
    • This is a really fun controller, it has mild feedback and is surprisingly accurate
    • For example, this would be a perfect controller for a game like Ace Combat:
    • The real controller is probably better if you want to be really competitive just because of the added ease of joystick controls.
    • I, too, like the other reviewer, was missing a standard controller while using this "speed" wheel.
    • I like the controller but saw some steering wheels for sale and thought I'd like to try one for Dirt 3.You see the Hydraulic steering systems
    • It's honestly a great solution for driving games without the bulk, hassle, and cost of a full fledged wheel setup but better than the standard controller or the aforementioned Wiimote setup.
    • However, despite the lack of key buttons and a bit of awkwardness, the controller really makes racing more enjoyable.
    • Uber-decent handling... actually I had sworn this game off as I really disliked how sluggish the controls were using the regular controller
    • This controller is still very much worth picking up today along with a wireless reciever if you're interested in racing on PC
    • I bought this for my significant other whom can't seem to manipulate a controller to drive, not wanting to shell out the money for a real wheel, I opted for this and was pleasantly surprised how well it works!
    • Microsoft *owes* it to all of us to re-issue this controller with all the buttons and swap out with us for no charge.
    • If you (like me) lack the space for a full racing seat, then this is your controller
    • I purchased the Speed Wheel to improve my performance in the auto racing games within Xbox as I found the standard controller nearly impossible to master.
    • This is a great wheel controller for xbox 360 when the game being played doesn't need RB and LB buttons (right and left shoulder buttons on a standard xbox 360 controller) which most games use.
    • However, currently, only some driving games support the controller
    • The controller works great.
    • This was a great controller until I had to make different selections while playing
    • The regular controller worked much better.
    • A small dent in an otherwise fantastic controller
    • In a nutshell, this is a motion-sensitive controller intended to be used for driving games
    • The Microsoft XBOX 360 wireless controller works just fine with his PC, but not a chance with this wheel
    • You'll find yourself correcting a turn by moving the controller the other way around and losing the car's control
    • THIS CONTROLLER WORKS THE
    • this is the best wireless racing controller ever made by ms
    • Overall, if you like racing games but find a standard controller to be crap, buy this wheel.
    • The response time is slow using the controller is much better
    • Best controller for forza4
    • Very nice controller and fun to use
    • There is simply no way to tune anything other than tire pressure (the tuning category which initially appears).However, if you do not bother with tuning your cars, or you enjoy simple arcade games, this is probably an ok controller, but I cannot say with any experience or authority, I'm simply extrapolating its performance in regards to actually controlling the car during a race
    • Memories from times when I did have extra time indicated that using a classic controller wouldn't be that much fun
    • This is the best steering wheel controller I've used
