I wouldn't mind having this wheel

Too bad it's way too expensive. I was hoping the base wheel would be cheaper.

Wow, almost $2k (CAD) for just a wheel!

And I thought I had gone overboard with my ActLabs setup (ForceRS + Performance pedals + shifter) at about $500 a few years ago...

My momo starting to get a bit old and they don't make this nice leather one anymore. Actually nobody makes a good wheel at a reasonable price now. I don't think the plastic momo will hold up a year with me. Especially those plastic shift paddles.

I was thinking of their pedals before because they can be mounted so the pedals hang like they do in most cars these days. I had to prop my desk on some random objects to keep my knees from hitting my keyboard tray when I lift off a pedal because of the base.

I was wandering what I would do with 6 buttons on my wheel before. Can't imagine what it would be like with 12 buttons plus a dial! If they could garuntee it wouldn't break for atleast 3 years (it would last me about 6 or 7) I'd think about getting it.

Independent F1-style clutch paddle levers fitted with Hall-effect ‘sensors’ for quick and smooth grid starts. These, like the gear levers, are adjustable. Depending upon your simulation software, these can be designated as either a accelerator and a brake.

I thought F1 cars had a clutch pedal just like almost all other cars. Where is this paddle at on a car?

No on a F1 car the 2 lower paddles on the steering wheel are the clutch. There is no foot clutch in a F1 car.

The logitech momo wheels have six buttons. I use every one on mine too.

yeah but I can not handle the momo ... was often standing in front of it and tried but the way from the front buttons to the paddles behind the wheel is to long for me and I like to use brake and clutch behind the wheel with my left hand so I have to be fast with those moves.

I need to brake by feed since a few month because the spring broke and it was allrdy the one from the right side where I do not use to accelerate behind the wheel so this paddle even not used at all.

and the thrustmaster f1 ff starting to get moveable like a joystick since it kept alive over 10 month now just because it got repaired 5 times lol.

the new thrustmaster has now metal where the ferrari enzo allways broke but again less buttons than the f1 ff has.

I do not use ff at all but damn I need lots of buttons! I would realy like to test more of the possible wheelsettings on track and I have the keyboard on my left side which hand realy has no time to leave the wheel ^^.

also important for me is a great support! I do not like to wait long for answers I do not get when I have trouble with my hardware.

Have been waiting 4 month for a new graphiccard, not to talk about what wheelcompanies have a bad support or do never reply! thank god I decided not to run this season at NAR or I would get realy mad here.

I am also not happy that it is no fun on track atm with that braking wheel ... I would have to do a serious racing for credits if I want to buy the formula IS this year ... if worth or not ... I decided to go this way and I am more and more not amused with the things that happen!

I realy wish there would be a company building great stuff, having a great support and would be interested in sell it

... but it looks like I will still have to go on to search for the stuff that is it worth to pay for and can proudly be given to our kids in ages... sad but true!

... have a nice day! ... have fun! ... I DO !!!
