Summary: It is a Very Impressive Product
Date: 2009-01-09 - 
Comment: I didn't expect much from the wheel considering the price, but when I got it home I was surprised how smoothly it programed to all my games and how secure it was when you properely clamped it to the desk. The peddles did not slide all over the place like most people said it would, but it is rather small. I really did enjoy this product.

Summary: Ferrari Wheel not compatible with Ferrari game!
Date: 2008-11-26 - 
Comment: I bought this Wii compatible wheel primarily because the Trustmaster add said it was officially sanctioned by Ferrari and so was the upcoming game Ferrari Challenge. I even read several web site pre-release reviews of Ferrari Challenge saying it would fully support the licensed Ferrari wheel. Well to my suprise, it does not work with the game bearing the same name, nor does it work with 99% of the other racing games on the Wii which there are MANY! so..... It you want to race on the Wii with a real steering wheel and the ONLY racing game you care about is Mario Kart. This wheel is for you. The rest of the racers out there should stick with PC racing games.

Summary: Adds a new dimension to your Gamecube racing...
Date: 2008-09-16 -
Comment: Exactly what I was looking for! An arcade style wheel with pedals for my Gamecube racing games to use on my Nintendo Wii. I love the realistic feel of racing, and the Gamecube racing selection. I wanted to find a way to play those games as I would if they were Wii games. And this is it!
It also works with Mario Kart for Wii really well! (This is the only Wii game that it's currently compatible with at this time, because the game allows use of the Gamecube controller.)
Works well straight out of the box. I was able to plug it in, and start playing right away. It does take just a moment to learn where the correct buttons are, like with Mario Kart for example.
I was very impressed with way the controls handled and responded. Not too loose but just right. It was much easier to use then the Gamecube controller on games like Burnout, where you need quick, accurate response, without over-correcting. PC wheels I have used in the past seemed to have you all over the place, and were too responsive, with no tension. This wheel has the perfect balance. It also seems sturdy enough to last for a while.
The size wasn't bad and I found it quite comfortable. It's not the size of a full sized wheel, but it certainly wasn't an inconvenience. I actually liked the smaller size, it felt easier to use. Close to the size of the Wii wheel, so it felt familiar.
It will add a new dimension to your Gamecube racing games, and open up some more fun options for those of us that have Wii, but have limited racing selection.
