Recived the bicycle in good time thanks to prime! Only Presently felt when I opened the amazon box and found that this is not the “Pro” clutches edition its the normal RGT FF CE. It works substantially for iracing and is a good peck for the product. I would recomend this for gamers alike myself that similar to experience playfulness and are not super severe nearly the game. Buy a nice Logitech bicycle6 for that. It does have a bit to stimulate employed to since this is my first bike since when they used your mouse straped to the wheel. Completely in wholly Im felicitous with it looks rugged and has worked substantially for me thence far. Ive owned it for about 2 weeks.I own a line with 12 PC simulators in an LAN coursing Nascar Racing 2003 season, so I’ve discovered lots of wheels in the last 5 years. Starting with the PROS: The cost was good, solid feel, pedals are comfortably aside from each other, lots of force/resistance. CONS: noisy (squeaks), little diameter cycle and the mickle breaker *** The buttons cannot be assigned to keyboard commands *** There are only drivers for windows, no real programming software. I employed Saitek wheels (no longer available) for years, get (2) Logitech G-25’s (not price effective) and get since Thrustmaster Rally GT Force struck on to the Logitech Driving Draw GT (Stellar Wheel). This bike may be good for newer games that whole the commands are not linked to keyboard strokes merely doesn’t mould for my needs.

I usage this bike for iRacing with my PC. It’s my first racing wheel and first realistic racing sim. Cables drape down to the computer on the properly nicely without any form of containment needed. I think the leather varies in quality, mine has a little dddy to it on the left incline where my thumb rests on the spoke, perhaps due to my early Logitech G27 Racing Wheel death-grip when getting applied to the experience. I even believe it’s acceptable.
The ground I’m writing this review is to save the new guys (like me) a short time by doing some extra set-up in the Logitech program. Logitech has a pre-set 200 degree limit that imposes substantial resistance at 100 degrees off-of-center in either direction. The iRacing programme calibrates to this limit instead of the 900 level move that the bike7 is subject of. The result is that the game interprets the first0 90 degrees off-of-center correctly, then tries to squeeze the remaining manoeuvring locomote (about a full rotation) into the lastly 10 degrees before striking Logitech’s 100 grade stop. The upshot of this “mis-calibration” is a complete loss of front tire traction whenever you snuff past 90 degrees and the wheels jerk to full-lock. This is corrected through the Logitech settings, not within the game. I’m not surely if it will exist a problem with other games, I haven’t heard it noted in any other reviews.
I haven’t received any actual problems with the G27 in the first0 three months and am having a blast improving my driving and learning to race in the simulator. I highly recomend this for anyone who is enthusiastic almost race cars and wants to drive a “realistic” simulation.
