Logitech Driving Force GT for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3

Model: 941-000020
SKU: 8781213
UPC: 097855051851
The unprecedented driving realism of Gran Turismo 5 requires a racing wheel that's just as impressive. Driving Force GT delivers with advanced force feedback, incredible comfort and custom tuning. With 900° rotation, you'll be able to rotate your vehicle 2.5 times around, just like many real cars. You'll also be able to fine-tune brake bias, TCS and other settings using the 24-position real-time adjustment dial. Solid, one-piece construction stands up to even the most rigorous use and extended courses, so be as aggressive or as delicate as it takes to win. As soon as you grip this well-built wheel, you'll feel the comfort of its rubber overmold rim. Precise tuning and optical encoding ensure superfast response from the wheel and the gas and brake pedals, so there's no lag between your actions and the vehicle's reactions. Every turn, brake and acceleration is reflected in the game right away. You'll feel every bump, grip and slide as though you were actually in a real-life race. With this innovative race wheel, the maximum control and full-throttle excitement of video game racing goes to all-new highs.

What's great about it: Build Quality, Force Feedback, Easy to use
What's not so great: A little Pricey, Small pedal shifters, and Foot pedals not the Best
I purchased the new Gran Turismo 5 (NOT THE Prologue version), and after playing for a few hours with a PS3 Controller, i felt that the game was just "ok". So i went ahead and purchased this Steering Wheel, and MY GOSH! I no longer SLEEP. The Force-Feedback is just strong and incredible, you can feel the actual road with this thing (eg., Dirt road, you feel the vibration of the tires hitting the rocks). It supports the full 900 degree turn, so turning the car is VERY realistic. It also has pedal shifters on the back of the steering wheel.
The Build Quality as fantastic, i feel like this thing won't break on me at all! It's a very sturdy item. It's easy to connect on the PS3, literally, plug-n-play.
A few Cons, the Gas and Brake pedals are raised a little bit to high, so it's really hard to go from Gas to Brake quickly. Also the gas pedal doesn't feel as sturdy as the more expensive G25/G27. You MUST have a good stand to mount the wheel in (preferably a Big Sturdy Desk). In carpet the base of the pedal is GREAT, however, if placed on hardwood floors, it moved a little bit. There is NO clutch but that really isn't a huge deal for me. Also the Pedal shifters on the back are 2 small buttons, so when turning the wheel, it makes it hard to shift down or up.
IF you HAVE the money get the Logitech G27 (roughly $300), that one features a DUAL force feedback motor for a VERY smooth REALISTIC feel of the car, a legit 6 speed shifter, clutch, and better placed pedal shifters.
OVERALL for the money, this thing is simply Excellent. A lot of times it'll go on sale for $100 to $130. (I got it on sale for $100).
Please Note: A few reviews here didn't give this item so great of a rating, this is because every game from PC or PS3 will VERY on how this Item performs. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Gran Turismo 5 will give you the FULL experience, as this item was specifically made for that game!
I would recommend this to a friend!

really fun and great for the money. the wheel is great but the pedals are really cheap, no resistance, and the shifter is creaky. but still worth the money.

What's great about it: I love the force feedback generated by the wheel.
What's not so great: The wheel feels small, but still very acceptable.
I really do like this racing wheel. I wanted the wireless version, but it has been discontinued. Anyway, the racing wheel feels great when driving gran trourismo 5. The force feedback makes playing the game so much more fun over using the controller. I'm just a casual player, but this wheel makes such a huge difference in driving games.

What's not so great: Everything
I bought this wheel as a Christmas gift for my brother on Dec. 3rd. When he opened it on Christmas day, he was tickled pink. Jan. 8th the steering function stopped working. He gave it back to me to hook it up to my PS3 to figure out whether the problem was the wheel, or his PS3. The problem was the wheel, I highly suspect the AC adapter. Contacted the manufacturer and retailer via their websites, but the only reply I got was one to review this product. Here it is: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

i have played alot of driving games useing only the normal controlers and it was ok, but after getting this wheel it is alot more controllable and i enjoy driving games even more. if you do not own a wheel get this or if you have the money go with the g27 or one of the higher end wheels. and the forcefeedback is great makes it feel abit more realistic

What's great about it: Great overall value!
What's not so great: Pedals are not up to the wheels standard.
The experience with this wheel exceeds anything that can be done with a "six-axsis" controller. There are better wheels out there for a lot more money. After a fair ammount of research and spending some time with the wheel, I feel that this gives the user the best experience for your money. Buyer beware - don't use this thing on a lightweight flimsy piece of furniture (it's got a lot of kick!). Petals are a bit flimsy but get the job done. I've been told that a sponge can be used to add some tension to the gas and break pedals. Enjoy!

There's not much more to say. It handles great, it's extremely realistic, and for the price, it's amazing. I was able to find it for $100, and I couldn't pass it up. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who has hesitated in purchasing a wheel.

I can not tell you how much better GT5 is with this set up. Honestly I did not know how good it was going to be until I first plugged it in and tried it for myself. Simply amazing. If you are a GT5 player and want to turn this game into a true simulator, then buy this steering wheel!

What's great about it: Accurate, Force Feedback, Great price.
What's not so great: No H-pattern shifter
This is a great Steering wheel for the money.($100 on sale) it is very accurate and the force feedback is amazing and fairly strong. Make sure to use this on a secure table...I am using it on a flimsy TV tray and spend a lot of my driving energy holding it still. The only real drawback to this wheel is the lack of an H-pattern shifter. I opted for the integrated GT5 adjustments over the good shifter. But for $200 less I was willing to make the sacrifice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Only had it a day, but I never realized how much a driving wheel can help your results. Good feel of pedals, wheel, and force feedback. Great buy; hopefully it proves durable. I'm using a small, adjustable table that folds up for mounting it, and that works just fine.

What's great about it: Price, compatibility with gt5, responsiveness
What's not so great: pedals are real plasticy
This wheel is great for the first time wheel consumer. Price of $100 is not too steep and the quality and responsiveness of the wheel is very good. Plastic pedals do not have the best feel, but is sufficient for price. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to experience a racing wheel.

Overall the product is okay but i had to make some modifiations to it in order for it to stay connected to the table. I purchased some rubber pads like you put on your cabinet doors and attached to the unit so it would not slip off the table. Outside of that is is a good product

I was looking for a wheel to play with GT5 in a couple of months and i saw this one was on sale for $100. It's a great wheel easy to setup. You need to have a coffee table or some kind of setup to put the wheel.

This steering wheel has been great overall. Many of its features work well. This wheel is a good median of wheels out there. It has the features you "need" and then some. But the cheap pedals really kill it for me.

What's great about it: Solid, weighted feel to the wheel, just works out of the box, great responsiveness, strong force feedback
What's not so great: Floor pedals should be metal, a little more weighted with some realistic resistance
I've had GT5: Prologue since it came out, but hadn't touched it in the last 6 months just b/c it got boring / difficult playing with a controller. So I decided to get the Driving Force GT wheel today and it has rekindled my love for driving games :)
It tooks a few races and practice time trials to kind of synch myself to using the wheel and pedals to drive but it's been easy to pick up. I find I use the paddle shifters (well more button-like than paddle-like) moreso than the sequential stick, but either way works. I drive stick in real life so actually it kind of messes me up to use the autostick rather than the paddles. I wish Logitech put a little more effort into the quality of the pedals, but functionally they work great. They're not just on/off ..there is some progression.
Thus far I've managed to win 2 races in the A Class that I could only get 3rd place in previously - I had to force myself to stop playing and go do some work :) I wasn't sure whether it would be worth the money, but after a couple of hours of playing w/ it, I know it was worth every penny!
I would recommend this to a friend!
