Default Recommend me a PC Steering wheel

Have had two Sidewinder FF wheels but starting to get compatability probs, any recommendations for someone with chunky thumbs? (some of the smaller/cheaper wheels aren't comfy at all)

Have you tried a google search? I know that show SKY TV used to show, "games" something reviewed some last year.
Is this for a console or PC?

I'm using a driving force pro wheel + pedals...

It's designed for the PS2 and GT4, but since it uses an usb connection, it works very well on the pc as well. You can download XP drivers etc for it from Logitech so no problems with getting it working

I 2nd this, best wheel out there imo. Another bonus is carpet grips on the pedals to stop it sliding (has rubbers too)

I've got a MOMO Racing and can't fault it but if I was buying now I'd go for the DF Pro wheel as above.

I'm currently using the Momo wheel, no complaints

It does have a useful feature when using RB Rally, of having completley seperate axis for both acc and brake, unlike Mcrae etc, which is a combined axis.
You can evan add a clutch system

Interested in the DFP but as it's only for PC, this scares me:


PlayStation Devices on PC and Vice-Versa
Question


Where can I find drivers to operate my Playstation Game Controller on the PC?
Answer


Although Logitech PlayStation gaming products and computer gaming products all have a standard USB connector, the devices are not interchangeable.
In other words, PlayStation devices cannot be used on a computer and vice-versa.
Some of the basic functionalities of these devices may be the same, but they may behave unexpectedly during a game or stop functioning.

We do not support the use of non-product-specific platforms/consoles.

I've got one of those seat and a DFP and the wheel is great but there are better seats out there however but they dont fold away like this one so i like it for that alone. its not very rigid and moves a little when your giving it the biffters on the rally stages but over all its a good bit of kit for the money.puts you in the right position to have good fun

You won a bid that cost you the same money that they would have cost if you'd have brought them new?!

I need my morning coffee.....

Thanks for the tips chaps, after mucho consideration, I have gone for the Thrustmaster RGT Pro.

Decent reviews and will handle my chunky thumbs

Will post an opinion at the weekend after testing with TOCA RD3...
