Hello everyone.Can you suggest me a steering wheel?Something like 80 usd,not more..I liked the Canyon CNG-GW3,but many ppl told me it sux..(it has lags,etc.)Then I chose the SAITEK PW21 /4-1/VIBRATION. Are they good? I think the Saitek is only 180*,but it is better than the Canyon and has FFB too..
Btw,I cant afford a G27/G25/DFGT yet..
I have to say that I'm very happy with my Logitech Driving Force wheel, it has ffb, 180 degrees, and progressive pedals.
It rather old but it's great.
About it's 180 degrees... this is a kart game, so I can't see why people would like the steering wheel to turn more than that. A kart won't turn more.

I also have a Thustmaster ferrari gt experience 3 in 1. Vibration feedback, 180 degrees and progressive pedals.
Also good if you don't mind lacking FFB.

ihavegot logitech drivingforce gt its great.
me to their good wheels and quite cheap
oh... I forgot to tell you about their price.
I got the Logitech for about $33 and the Thustmaster for about $19.
I'm saying "about" because my currency is the € :)
Well,I'm from Bulgaria and here the prices are in "leva" ,and the Logitech Driving Force GT is 270 leva(around 200 USD)...and I would like to have FFB.. :D

It has Vibrarion,FFB,and it has 2 levers on the wheel.The only problem is that I heard the cheap wheels have problems with the pedals.I mean if the Accelerator is Y+,the Brake is Y-,and that makes problem with the "left foot braking" technique,or something like this..Is that true?
Yeah... the GT it's a bit expensive.
I would also like a GT or a G25/27 but for now I'm happy with the ones I have.
Maybe in the future :)
I don't know about that one in particular, but I think you should be able to accelerate and brake at the same time.
I can do it with anyone of mine.
I know that my Thrustmaster has 3 axis. 1 for each pedal and 1 for the wheel, but you can press a button to make 2 axis only (1 for the pedals and 1 for the wheel) and still be able to left foot brake.
As for the Logitech, I don't really know how it is recognized. I have to take a look.
I will ask when I'm buying it :) Btw,it is much better than the Canyon,right? And ,the wheel is not that low class(it is still not the highest,but a middle class,right?)
in germany it was very cheap. i gettednit for 80 usd
I haven't heard about the Canyon before, but I found a review.

are you sure it's a FFB wheel? I think it's a vibration wheel only
Model PW21 /4-1/VIBRATION
Compatibility PC,XBOX,PS2,PS3
Vibration YES
Feedback YES
Rack mounting YES
Guaranty 24 MONTHS
Price in Technopolis(the shop i will buy from) 129,00 LEVA(around 70-80 USD)
Model SAITEK
I think it is good one,is it?
PS: It writes(in the link u gave me) that the pedals are "slightly lower quality",does this mean i will have the brake/acceleration problem? Or I have to ask in the shop..
Thanks everyone for replies,would be happy to get the final answers ^^ .
Well, before you buy it, make sure it's a FFB wheel and the pedals are progressive.
If there isn't anyone who can help you here, maybe it's a good ideia to ask about it in the store.
They would surely know :)
The main thing is that you have a steering wheel. And what exactly is not really that important. For example, Hispinknes Prior uses wheel of xbox. It's more like a toy steering wheel of any spacecraft. But this does not prevent him to show quick time. I think the most important thing - it's good feedback, but it also has to adjust. But very good that you have a steering wheel and you do not have to use the keyboard or joystick.
yes really any ffb wheel would do i used to use one of these from the xbox

but when i saw this for £2
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41EVRYK10AL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) i had to snap it up (BARGAIN ALERT) i chose this because of the reputation of logitech and the reliability of them, it also enables you to download the latest drivers, you dont have to spend big £ to get a good wheel its all about spotting out a good one when you can, look on ebay i would suggest, you can get some really good second hand ones that no one could tell the difference from it being a new one, as long as it works and does what you want it to do ;)
whaaaaat? You got that logitech for £2?
And everything was working ok? No buttons missing or the wheel only turns one direction or anything? ;D
That is a bargain :D
Ok,thanks everyone.So the pedals must be like the ones in cars,I mean to keep the speed for example,not Max acceleration.
exactly.
If the pedals are not progressive (pressure sensitive) don't bother buying the wheel (at least I wouldn't).
Maybe in some games that's not too bad. (I'm thinking about arcade games like Flatout, Burnout, Sega Rally, etc.) but simulators like Kart Racing Pro really need pressure sensitive pedals.
Okay,thank you very much.Btw,the Logitech Driving Force GT will be the best choice,right?..I will try to make my parents buy it :D

yep he wanted £5 at first but i knocked the guy down to £2 , it all works fine nothing missing steering is fine pedals to also the ffb works well, such a bargain thats why i say to look out for one on places like ebay or sales as some really good stuff comes up ;)
Awsome buy Intrepid junior max, I wish I found a deal like that :D
Flamber, the best buy would be without a shadow of doubt the G25 or G27, but that's a top level wheel too.
By the way, don't forget to tell us what you bought and why not do a little review of it? It could be helpful to others ;)
Okay,I'm going to buy the Saitek,cuz I dont use ebay and I don't like 2nd hand(can trick me xD) ,and for the review,I think I will make one video :) I will also record at Lonato,when practicing :)
