Steering Wheel questions

[TailsD97]

I'd like to get a steering wheel for PC, I have a budget of £35-50, what is the best for this price?

That is pretty rock bottom. Maybe a used Logitech Driving Force Pro or Driving Force GT?

Put in another £50 and get this: http://shop.steelseries.com/uk/accessories/simraceway-srw-s1-steering-wheel.html

For another £30, you can opt for a much more immersive experience: http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/product/driving-force-gt?crid=714

I wouldn't buy a used wheel unless it's lightly and gently used.

Is the Logitech good quality and include pedals?

The wheel is quite good. It does include pedals, they are not spectacular, but they do the trick.

Ok cheers

I'd say, you shouldn't go any lower than Logitech's Driving Force GT (new; should be around €100).

Dean J is right - DFGT is currently for sale at Argos for £99.99

I agree with others - don't buy anything cheaper / inferior.

The thing is the pedals are rubbish

The only thing with the DFGT is finding a new one in stock, I got mine from Argos a couple weeks ago, as they were the only place I could find with it i stock, I live in Kent, and even then there was only one Argos in allow Kent that had it in stock, there was only one left in stock but luckily it weren't too far from me. It was totally worth all the effort though!

I heard that the pedals are poor quality, I've also seen this on reviews on the Internet.

The pedals aren't poor quality, but they aren't as good as a more expensive set, and since you hardly want to spend anything you don't have a lot of choice. I used a DFGT and pedals with the squash ball mod for a year or so before I got a G27 and everything worked just fine.

If its for pc use you can always upgrade the pedals at a later date anyway.

If you are on a budget you wont get better than the DFGT package, in fact its pretty much you're only option at that price.

I will use this for PS3 to be honest, thanks for the reply, I'm going to get these as soon as I can, cheers man! 👍

Well to be honest I don't know what god quality pedals feel like lol. But the DFGT has a little bit of resistance, but of course based on the reviews I guess they aren't that great. To me they are brilliant :-)

If they are out of stock at Argos they will send you a back in stock text notification. I just had to wait two days before they were back in stock at my local store.

The pedals aren't rubbish - they just aren't as good as the wheel which is outstanding - a friend of mine laps the Nordschleife (Formula Gran Turismo) in 5.14 with stock DFGT and pedals - so there is plenty of speed in the stock set if the pilot has the skill.
