Logitech launches steering wheels and G-series inputs {Engadget}
May 10th 2006 3:34PM I own a similar ACT-Labs combo: Force RS wheel, Performance pedals (with clutch), and GPL shifter. It's a few years old (NFS5 era) and cost about the same then as the Logitech wheel does now. It also is PC + console enabled with a modular/pluggable interface system.

My experience with such things has been somewhat mixed... On one hand, if you (like I) are serious enough about driving games to drop $300 on this accessory, then you will find the experience of driving with a good wheel and shifter to be truly amazing. I cannot recommend it highly enough. On the other hand, I have found software support to be somewhat lacking. For my setup, it's difficult to find games made in the last few years that fully support the wheel/clutch/shifter. (If anyone has anything to suggest, I'd love to hear it!)
So, as much as I applaud Logitech (and I love the big L) for introducing this product, I am very curious how broad software support will be... Time will tell!
