Thrustmaster VG Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Racing Wheel for Xbox Reviews
| 21 of 24 people found the following review helpful  Looks nice and seems well made, but dissapointed with it in action, By = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Thrustmaster VG Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Racing Wheel for Xbox (Accessory) Waiting for this to finally be available after several delays, got it delivered today.Opened the box and was impressed with how the wheel looked...however it does feel pretty flimsy. Has some nice rubberized grips and the shift paddles are metal and have a nice chunky clunk when you shift them. The pedals and base are a little awkward...unless you have a lot of weight resting on the pad they tend to lift off the ground under heavy brake or accelerator application. The clamping mechanism works pretty well, it stayed securely attached to my table for the 10 minutes I could stomach using it. In terms of actually in-game use, I'm incredibly dissapointed. I guess part of it is my fault...I knew this wheel had no ForceFeedback but I assumed no one would build a controller without rumble. In the first few moments I realized I shouldn't have assumed this. There is ZERO feedback from games. If you play Forza 4 or F1 2011 in simulation mode, you know how critical it is to...

The old MS one is impossible to find and I wasn't going to fork over $800 for a Fanatec wheel so when this Thrustmaster wheel appeared it looked like the ideal solution.Sadly, I'm going to have to agree with some of the other reviews. This won't improve your racing. Far from it, in fact. Your lap times will go up 2 to 3 seconds a lap compared to racing with a controller, IF you can keep it in a straight line. In the three weeks I've been racing with it, I've not been able to put my finger on exactly what the problem is but I'm sure it's all to do with the sloppy steering mechanism. There's no force feedback and no rumble, and there's a h-u-g-e dead zone in the middle where there's no resistance from the internal spring mechanism. The result is that the wheel induces oversteer in every car you race because you have no real "feel" for where the wheels are pointing so you always over... Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  THIS IS A RELIABLE REVIEW, By = Fun: This review is from: Thrustmaster VG Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Racing Wheel for Xbox (Accessory) I have come into contact with 4 of these wheels. Two of them my friend has and two of them I have owned. I got my first of the two wheels on christmas and was really pleased with how it worked... at first. The first thing you notice when using this wheel is that it has about 10-15 degrees in the middle where the wheel can free float. This makes it really hard to straighten yourself out while racing. Secondly, within 2 hours of total play time with this, the first one broke. I was not harsh with it at all but the buttons on the start-stop selector stopped working. Upset and distraught, I sent it back for a replacement. The second one I got broke within a few days. The paddle shifters stopped working and the D-pad (start/stop selector) stopped working too. I am now sending it back and I do not plan on getting another. ON THE OTHER HAND- my friend who has two of them, has had them for a while now and he hasn't experienced any terrible problems with his. Despite the free floating he likes... Read more |
