Thanks for letting me know, four years after something was released, that I never would have bought anyway.

But thanks though.

i bought the wheel. and for some reason every game i play on it the car will start off good on turning then jump the other direction no matter what i do, and it goes away once i stop then comes back. i do not like the wheel and i will not buy another nitro wheel

The Nitro for Test drive Unlimited!
This was the worst 30 min in my recent gaming memory.
The suction cups slide around when trying to shift with the stick.
The dead zone is impossible to get used to and will result in very large police fines when you bounce around traffic.
The sensitivity adjustment for the steering is not a option that can remedy this.
No vibration I could feel even with all the accidents I caused.
It was returned and forgotten!!

If they could refine these problems it would be the best wheel I have tried but these are major problems unless you race Nascar!!

I have bought one… 5 days and the wheel is back on the shop.

I’ve got a PS2 with a Driving Force Pro, a PC with some Thrustmaster, I have tested lots os Logitech wheels and I own a MS Sidewinder, FF, too… This Nitro wheel falls in the rank even below the keyboard. I just can’t play with it.

The suction cups did not keep the wheel on the table, the wheel seems to have a humongous dead zone, and my cellular has better vibration.

360 needs Force Feedback now. May be I try the Logitech DriveFX “axis feedback”, but I cannot recommend a wheel as the Joytech Nitro, I hate to drive using the PAD but in this case is much better.

I’m not a huge fan of racing games (despite me owning PGR3), so a steering wheel would just be an expensive toy. However, if I were the other way round, this review would definately make me buy it!

looks very cheaply made.. Does this have forcefeed back like a real car or just a dumb rumble pack? I want the wheel that is going to tear out of my hands because the wheels on the car are gripping the road through a corner. You know like a real car does, where you have to muscle it a little to keep stable? I didnt see mention of the type of vibration technology used. gimmie the real story!
