Default Steering Wheel for the PC

What would people recommend as the best steering wheel for a PC, i like my driving games but using a gamepad makes them too difficult to control

The god of driving wheels (for still almost sensible money) is the Logitech G25. If not that then the Logitech DFP is highly recommended. The DFP does work on the PC even if it doesn't explicitly say so the box.

I just ordered the Logitech Formula EX from Play for £44.99 delivered. Didnt fancy paying double that nearly for the DFP. The EX gets very good reviews everywhere I looked so fingers crossed.

Yup.

G25 has a clutch pedal, a gated gear stick, and a big enough servo on the force feedback, that when it kicks it, it's not actually you stopping the wheel turning, its the planet's rotation being halted.

Yeah Quite hard to justify at the price. I've got a DFP too, and that does me fine.

The Momo wheel is good for the money.

Had mine for a couple of years now.

Momo Wheel

Simple yet effective for driving games, brings RBR alive
