Logitech Drive. FX Racing Wheel for Xbox 3. Game Controller product reviews and price comparison. Introduction**I'm not the biggest fan of racing games. I don't mind playing them every now and then, but I tend to get bored pretty quickly. I always played them using a standard Xbox 3. I have recently purchased a Logitech Drive. FX Racing Wheel for Xbox 3. I must say that because of this wheel I am now a massive fan of driving games - I simply would not want to revert back to using a normal controller.**The Price**I've recently finished my final university exams and I wanted something to reward myself with. Saying that, I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for my reward. So I scoured the internet and found a bargain. The recommended retail price for this wheel is . Inside the box is the wheel itself, the foot pedals, and the wires. The wheel comes with an American plug, but this was not a problem as it comes with an American - British plug adapter. The wheel itself is black and is made of plastic and rubber. It feels nice and solid in the hands, and even without plugging it in (and thus enabling the 'axial force feedback') it has some resistance to it. Once the wheel is plugged in and turned on, the motors in the wheel tighten up (just like if you try to turn the wheel in a stationary car). The motors give a feeling of resistance in the wheel due to the 'Axial force feedback' technology within (more detail later). There are 2 sensitivity settings for the wheel. The first is very sensitive, and the second is less sensitive. I prefer the less sensitive setting. To change the sensitivity there is an unmarked black button, which when pressed will change the sensitivity between the two settings. To change gears manually you can use the 'flappy paddles' which are located on either side of the back of the wheel. They are actually more like buttons than paddles, but they do the job and are easy to use.** The Pedals** The pedals are made of black plastic and they seemed to have just the right amount of resistance to them. However they do have a tendency to slip on the floor a little bit. Also they were clearly designed for left foot breaking - trying to break with you right foot is a nightmare. There is no clutch included which makes sense as there is no manual gearstick, and using a clutch with the 'flappy paddles' on the steering wheel just wouldn't feel right. The wheel itself clamps to a table or desk easily, and the clamps feel sturdy. A little niggle here is the fact that there is no protective padding on the parts of the wheel and clamps which are in contact with the table, and so tightening the clamps may mark the table. I solved this problem by putting medium thickness card on the contact points. The wheel plugs into the Xbox 3. USB cable which provides the power to the wheel. The pedals are connected to the wheel via a wire. Your Xbox live headset can be plugged in the back of the steering wheel base. There is another wire that plugs into a power socket and then into the wheel - this provides the 'axial force feedback'. The wheel can be used with the 'axial feedback' either on or off depending on your preference.**What is 'Axial force feedback'?**'Axial force feedback' is basically the technology which feeds back to you through the wheel. So as you drive along the wheel will vibrate, and if you crash the wheel will violently vibrate. There are also motors in the wheel which pull the wheel left and right. This makes the wheel easier or harder to steer. So if the car has under steer when you are taking a corner the wheel will be difficult to turn. If the car has over steer when you are taking a corner the wheel will be easy to turn. In practice this works very, and makes for more entertaining and realistic racing. The wheel works well for both games and it definitely makes the games more fun to play compared to using a standard controller. I also find it easier than using a controller as you can be more precise when turning the wheel as opposed to moving a analogue stick. I play using an automatic gearbox which is very fun, but I have tried manual gear changes using the 'flappy paddles' which is difficult but still very fun. There are a few little niggles such as the lack of protective padding on the parts touching your table, and the amount of wires that are required for the wheel to function, but I'm just being picky! I would also like to note that my dad loves playing 'Forza Motorsport 2' with this wheel, and it is the first time I have ever got him to play a videogame - he now plays on it more than me!
