Summary: Great Wheel when it was working
Review: As one of the review noted, there seems to be a problem with the paddles. I had my wheel for 3 weeks and one of the paddle switches is starting to stick. When I use it to shift, it shifts multiple times now. The other paddle still seems to be working fine.

The wheel itself, when working, was great. The 3 point mount system seems to work better than the WingMan and the wheel and base feels a lot better than the WingMan as well. If it was not for the paddle switch problem, I would have given this wheel a much higher rating, but anything that goes defective in 3 weeks deserves a 1 star.

Summary: Tremendous wheel
Review: I am a hardcore online racing addict spending several hours online racing each night. I have had 3 Logitech Wheels in my time. Logitech Wingman FF, Logitech MOMO Force and Logitech MOMO Driver.

Logitech Momo Racing (my thoughts)
The Good - Full rubber grip. Extended turning range. Very accurate & precise. Strong Force Feedback which can be adjusted. Good pedals. Nice pressure on brake pedal. Fairly long throw on pedals. Stick shift option. 6 buttons on wheel. Easy to instal. Solid construction. Good web site support. Wingman profiler good program to help fine tune setup. Fairly easy to get used to the wheel. Nice times achieved after little practice. 3 clamping system very solid. Wheel looks good. Quality control better than on Logitech Momo Force. Pedals superior the the force model as far as getting better race times.

The Not So Good - have to extend fingers too much to reach gear paddles. Paddles not a solid feel to them. Problem with right gear paddle, double shifts at times. No need for stick shifter. Pedal base too light, slips around unless u put something solid behind it. Plastic pedals instead of metal as on the FORCE model.

Overall - MOMO Racing is a class above Wingman FF as far as getting better race times once u get used to it. I had 2 MOMO Force wheels and had to take them back as various things were faulty. MOMO Racing i feel also has questionable quality control on the Paddle Shifters. Apart from this it is a top product and thorougly recommend it.

Have fun and get a beer into you

Summary: AGAIN its BROKEN
Review: I bought the wheel back in March of this year and for the first 3 months it had worked perfectly. Then a few weeks ago I started to get that wonderful MOMO pedal bug. The pedals are made where they check the calibration every time you push them down. However if you wiggle the pedal while its down the potentiometer reads it as being pushed down further and sets that new rate as what you have to reach in order to get full percentage use out of the pedal. I took the base apart and put the pedals back on tighter, but it still wiggles a bit, and still loses calibration. I will be returning my MOMO.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Don't buy !!!!!
Review: I bought this hoping for some real racing fun. What I got was dissapointment however. Steering wheel never centered correctly.
Downloaded multiple tweak files from various websites that said it would correct problem but didn't. Steering sensativity was never the same on different games even though settings were the same.
Example: say your racing Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 and you win your race and move on to another race in a championship series. The resistence on the race you just won is set to "0" and it's real easy to turn on that race. The next race is totally different though. Even though settings are the same the resistence is like going from power steering to manual steering on an old truck. Then came the real bad problem. Throttle kept messing up and then it would only go 1/2 throttle no matter what game I played or what the setting's were. On top of that Amazon only gave me partial credit when I returned in "as recieved" condition.

Summary: Additional Feedback
Review: I have now taken back 2 Logitech MOMO Driver steering wheels. Had to take the current one back this week as the left gear paddle ceased working.

There is a major design flaw with the gear paddles and for this reason i believe Logitech should recall this product and fix this problem. An online team member also had the same problem with this wheel. One of his paddles stopped working after one week of use.

Everything else about this wheel is excellent and perhaps you will be fortunate and not have the problem i have had. Also if you drive Auto or are comfortable using the stick shifter this also negates the paddle vulnerability being an issue.

Summary: Great Wheel! Terrible life span!!
Review: I purchased this wheel after vast researching and I must say I love the way it feels. The wheel assembly iteslf is outstanding!! The one shortfall was the paddle shifters as they do break. The pedal assembly is a completely different story. Throttle control is essential in today's games and these pedals are junk! When they work, they are adequate, but they WILL break. I can comfortably say this as I have returned 3 wheels so far to be replaced due to pedal problems. The culprit with the pedals are the pots (potentionometers) that are the electronics in the pedal assembly. They are cheap at best. The mounting assembly is insufficent and the pots themselves are ridiculously sub-par. Plus, Logitech does not sell replacements. I did find them via a 3rd party company finally. But, I find it hard to digest that Logitech risks so much potential on a product with $0.30 parts (which cost $7 ea to replace via 3rd party). Ultimately I would have to say stay away from this wheel. But, if they fix the design deficiancies..buy no other!!!!

Summary: Seems to be working for me.
Review: I've ready multiple reviews of the paddle shifters breaking on this wheel, but being I use the stick shift, that hasn't happened to me yet :-D I've had the wheel for about 5 months or so now. It hasn't been flawless, unfortunately. I've noticed that the deadzone, when in the calibration window used to be none-existant; it picked up EVERY little change in movement of the wheel... now there is a slight dead zone on it. Hasn't affected my racing, though so that is good. Also, the stick shift knob makes a popping sound every now and then when I shift up... or actually down, because I reverse the default settings.

I actually bought this wheel through Best Buy and I intended to buy their extended warranty thing for it, but I never got around to it. I kind of regret that, because I'd hate to see my $100 wheel stop working on me.
