It is a controller with precision tilt control that mimics the mechanics of a wheel. It is not a stand in for the wheel experience per se. I want to be clear and reiterate what others have said when reviewing it, which is that the term 'wheel' is somewhat of a misnomer. I brought my new Wireless Speed Wheel home last night, and immediately dived into testing it. I decided to go ahead and get it early since I didn't want to deal with the possibility of it being out of stock as we approach the holiday. I read a lot of good things in the reviews that came out afterwards, and I decided that I really would like to have it for playing F1 2011, so I've spent a lot of time making it known that I wanted it under the Xmas tree! Completely unexpected, I got an early Xmas gift from a friend, a GameStop giftcard. Weaving my way through long sweeping turns due to lack of precision sucks, and it also cost you time.Īs you can imagine then, I was very intrigued and cautiously hopeful when the Wireless Speed Wheel for Xbox 360 was announced. Also, I couldn't do things like take 130R at Suzuka flat out because steering with the stick just isn't precise or responsive enough.
Using xbox 360 wireless speed wheel full#
I got pretty good at it in F1 2011 but its impossible to use without full TCS because the travel on the accelerator trigger is so short that its somewhat like an on/off toggle. But we all know playing racing games with a gamepad is bullshit and seriously hampers performance. A full racing chair frame rig would put me in an ergo position that alleviates it, but I haven't the money let alone the space for such a thing, nor do I have the money for the full wheel & pedals rig anyway. So, basically, I don't use my wheel rig much.

Now when I use my PS2 wheel rig while sitting in either my AK Rocker racing chair or my other regular chair, it hurts so much by the time I'm done I can't even stand up and it takes a REALLY long time to go away. It's minimal when driving for real, but still there. See, I have this ergonomic issue that even affects me when I drive a real car, where the angle of my legs in conjunction with holding my feet up to operate the pedals causes debilitating pain in the ligaments on the inside of my knees. While I would LOVE to have a full wheel & pedals rig, I have three major hurdles, the largest of which has nothing to do with cost or space, but ends up compounding both of those things. Oh glorious smooth handling! Oh precise control! I don't know about other games, but this wheel is the absolute minimum you should have for playing F1 2011.
