Yep, I've got one. Seems ok to use to me, (although the force feedback could be a little stronger).

do you use it on your lap or have u it mounted onto something?

I have tried using it with a Porsche GT3 on Forza2 and i can't stop it fish tailing yet if i'm using the controller its grand!

IT's harder but more satisfying to use than the controller. Stop overdriving

I use mine on my lap. No problem with fishtailing on Forza. You just need to practice more

I use it on a seat/mount setup and I was inside the top 50 drivers setting times on the official Hot lap champs on Forzamotorsport.net

It takes a bit of practice but once you get it you will be faster.

As already said take a bit of getting used to but far more enjoyable than a pad for racing. Need it mounted though IMO.
