Debating on whether to buy a Thrustmaster or Logitech racing wheel for my pc.

**Dodle** · 6th July 2009

I recently decided that I want to get a racing wheel for my PC, and maybe for my Playstation 2. I have asked about a Logitech wheel over at the Logitech forums. There are two wheels that I am looking at right now: The Logitech MOMO Racing Force Feedback Wheel and the Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience Racing Wheel. There are some nicer wheels out there, but these two are within my price range. But, I am having trouble finding some information on them. The more expensive wheels list the steering rotation on their specs page, but neither of these do. I don't want to get a wheel that only rotates 90 degrees. Does anybody have any information on the rotation of these wheels that they could share with me, I would appreciate it very much.

Some things that I like about the MOMO wheel: Has both paddle and stick shifters. Foot pedals are carpet slip resistent and appear to have a wider base than the Ferrari wheel.

Some things that I like about the Ferrari wheel: I compatible with PC, PS2/PS1, and PS3. Less expensive than the MOMO wheel.

From their pictures both wheels look like they are made very well. Thanks again.

Unfortunately both of these wheels are low rotation, Dodle - in the region of 240-270 or so lock-to-lock.

The first option for a 900 degree wheel would be the Logitech Driving Force Pro; although if you decide that it's too far out of your price range, I would go for the MOMO of the two that you've highlighted.

Thank you for getting that information to me. I'll settle for 240-270 degree rotation, especially for under $100. I've just heard of some wheels that only turn 90 degrees, and I don't want that.

Thanks for your recommendation. The only thing keeping me from purchasing the MOMO wheel this second is the multi-platform compatibility for the Ferrari wheel. I've got GT4 on PS2 and would love to be able to use a wheel. But I do really like Logitech.

Actually, before I make a final decision I'm going to check out the Driving Force Pro. Sorry for the double post.

Get this wheel:

Price is within your ranges, it's pedals are great and FFB is good as well.
Rotates 270 deg
belt driven FFB

Btw, the thrustm,aster GT Experience doesn't have FFB. It has Vibration Feedback.
Thrustmaster GT Force is very good :) Imo better than any Logitech offer except DFGT and G25. But DFGT has worse pedals.

Thanks Johan, I will definitely consider this wheel. Force Feedback would be cool to have, but the motherboard I currently have in my PC does not support vibration feedback, so I doubt that it supports FFB. Although, hopefully I will be upgrading to a more powerful mobo soon. The pedals do look really nice.

I think FFB is controlled by software, not any hardware on the mobo Dodle

True. Just install the wheel in the USB port/. Install Thrustmaster/Logitech/whatever brand software, and FFB/Vib feedback works. Motherboard doesn't matter here..
