Ok, So there were some good and bad things about this. But overall it is a great wheel. It works on all the PC games that I play though the profiler causes them not to be able to adjust the feedback. But if you set the way you want it, it works ok.
The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box were the built-in clamps that you use to attach it to a table. Now I use a gaming chair and I dont have a place for a table. I use my other wheels on my lap fine. But the clamps made that hard because they dug-into my knees. So to fix this (sort-of) I got a small board of whood and clamped it to the bottom. Now it is much easier on my legs.
The ergonomics are good but when you are constantly fighting for control as in GT5 makes it, it isnt that noticeable. The shift knob os pretty lame but it is useful on PC games such as 18 Wheels of Steel or German Truck Simulator. Because you can program it separate from the "paddle-shifters".
The dials and such are very useful in GT5 because they let you adjust things you normally have to do before the race, mid-game. So say you're racing a rally curcuit and you wanna adjust your 4WD differential so you have more power towards the rear, then you simply use the +/- buttons to find it, then move the dial untill you are happy, then push the enter button in the dial. That is something that is unique to this wheel and is what makes it diffrent from the G27.
So all-in-all this wheel is a good buy for racing fans who want a better, yet slightly more challenging, GT5 experience!
