Product Description: WingMan Formula helps you control your on-screen car almost like you would a real race car, so you lap faster and crash less. You'll appreciate this racing system whether you are in fast switchbacks, making a tight hair-pin turn, or just shifting positions on a 2-mile oval track. In auto racing, there is no such thing as 'close enough'. The Wingman Formula includes a steering wheel and a foot pedal assembly. The steering wheel has four wheel-mounted programmable buttons and a strong, easy to use clamp that fits the edge of any desk. The pedal assembly has gas and brake pedals with non-slip surfaces and a 'dead pedal' foot rest; the assembly fits comfortably under most desks.
Amazon.com Review: Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the WingMan Formula racing wheel. The steering wheel assembly is simple--it clamps on to almost any desk firmly and connects to either your game or USB port. Place the gas and brake-pedal pad on the floor, and you're ready for the green flag.
The control is precise and realistic, offering much better gameplay than other controllers for driving software. The nonslip rubberized wheel grip is comfortable and designed after actual racing wheels--you might even feel a twinge of resentment when handling your nonvirtual car. Six programmable buttons, four near the center (Speed Racer-style), let you shift gears, fire weapons, or do whatever else it takes to win. All are within easy reach of the thumbs, so you won't have to relax your control.
Though there's no feedback to simulate the pull of actual driving conditions (as with the Logitech WingMan Formula Force), you'll still find yourself immersed in the drive. The pedal base is large and sturdy enough for long use and won't slip on most surfaces. The spring-based pedal is as easy to control as the wheel, and a quick tap on the brake won't bring you screeching to a halt. The large size of the units--12 by 14 inches for the pedals and a 10-inch diameter for the wheel--will be awkward to less-dedicated gamers or those with limited storage space for peripherals. Whether you're a little old lady who only drives on Sundays or a mad-style speed demon who eats pavement for breakfast, the Logitech WingMan Formula will give you the control you need to keep racing for hours. --Rob Lightner

Rating: - SWEET WHEEL
this wheel has my vote for 4 stars, that's just because it's not the force. other than that this wheel is awesome. it's easy access programable buttons are a major plus for those fast games we gamers like to play in these modern times. further more, it's rubber grip is the BEST i've seen...most the others are just made of the same material cows let out of their "BUTTS". so my final words are...either buy this wheel or the red force one, either one you get is a lifetime good investment.
