    I like it

    Reviewed by Jazzy JJ - May 27, 2015

    Works well with Project Cars and Forza 5. You get what you pay for. It works. No force feed back no big deal. Go buy the 400 dollar one if you want a shaker. No head set jack but hey, sit the game pad beside you and plug into that if you wanna chat online while playing! It works good for a cheap affordable wheel. I use the peddles on a rug so no slip while pressing the brake or gas. Hard surface may require anti slip pad. Nice feel and works straight out of the box. Made a world of difference in game play on Project cars where the game pad did not make the cut. Plug in first then start the game using the wheel to use it in game. Have Fun! I do.

    Reviewed by Dylan - February 11, 2017

    I bought two of these first time the peddle plug in wouldn't fit second time the down shifter broke (WOULDN'T RECOMMEND) Its also only fun when it works also the instructions are trash they become so confusing that you would be better off without them so BestBuy stop buying garbage because you have now made me very disappointed I wouldn't give it even a one star but I have to because it's required so I would just buy a different one not this garbage your welcome for my opinion and the others that wright good reviews it just worked for them but not for me and probably won't work for you PLEASE AVOID THIS PRODUCT

    Looks Great - Worked Grat for two days only!

    Reviewed by Alem - December 28, 2017

    I bought this on October 2017 as an Xmas gift for my son. I opened it in Xmas, and it worked wonderfully with my Xbox One / Forza 3 for couple of days. On the third day, I started getting calibration issues first, and had to shut-down the console many times and restarted. Then on the evening it simply wiggling the car while driving ... that is I steer right, but it goes right then left. No matter what I do with it. Unfortunately I cannot return, but still under warrenty, so would be in contact with Best Buy and Geek Squad (which I bought three years warranty for it). Do yourself a favor, and stay away!

    Its a great racing wheel

    Reviewed by John - February 5, 2016

    I orderd this wheel from the microsoft store.. 2 weeks later i get an email saying they have no more product in stock. They refunded my money. I then went to best buy. Sure enough this was my best buy. The package was at my door in less than 24 hours. Free shipping... The wheel and pedals work fantastic!

    Save your money

    Reviewed by Richard - February 24, 2018

    In the span of one year I had three of these steering wheels fail on me. The first two lasted about a month each. They all started malfunctioning by randomly turning left, even when going straight. Contacted Thrustmaster and they refused to warranty the third wheel even though it is an obvious design flaw.

    Would Recommend

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 28, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything is great especially for the price, but the wheel is a little sensitive. Also, The pedals don't have a mount so i had to put my lacrosse stick to keep it down. Im sure there is a setting to fix sensitivity. The wheel is very easy to mount to my desk too.

    Great wheel!!

    Reviewed by Paul - May 29, 2016

    Bought this racing wheel yesterday, and I have to say for the price point this racing wheel is fantastic. Setup is simple, just plug into any open usb port on your console (you may want a usb extender cord depending on your setup - cord is about 6 or 7 feet). There is a part near the center of the cord that detaches for quick release, so your not having to pull the usb in and out of console. The wheel feels comfortable, and is very responsive. The peddles are great, just be sure to have it on carpeting or anything that will prevent it from sliding. In conclusion after ownership of this, I do highly recommend it. I feel that any negative comments it has gotten, are either from a faulty unit which can easily be exchanged, or those expecting something 4x in cost - quality wise, but not having to pay that.
