I just got it today....But I only played a few minutes of Burnout 3....maybe its just that Burnout 3 is an old Xbox game, but I felt there was way to much play in the wheel...meaning that it took time for the car to turn. I was turning the wheel half way before the car moved off the shoulder....that is way too much play ...it need to be tighter. The funny thing is that I always thought the microsofts original wheel was way to tight! Anybody play burnout 3 have the same experieince with this wheel?? I Do like the button layout ...very easy to get to everything ..in fact instead of steering, I can just use the d-Pad ...it is pretty responsive that way. Although that defeats the purpose of the wheel..
E3 2011: Xbox 360 gets Wireless Speed Wheel
Microsoft announces new racing peripheral in time for Forza 4's October 11 release at $60 price point.
LOS ANGELES--Fans of Microsoft's Forza racing series learned a bit of good news this morning, when the game giant nailed down an October 11 release date for Forza 4. The game will support Kinect, but gamers looking for a different control style will be able to play with a new peripheral.
Microsoft today announced the Xbox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel. The $60 controller (pictured at right) will ship to retailers in September and will be available for purchase in early October. The controller is wireless and offers "precise steering, standard controller buttons/triggers, and haptic feedback with rumble."
The controller's trigger buttons offer players control of the gas and brakes, as well as other game-specific features. Additionally, the new peripheral also has ABXY and D pad buttons that used for different controls, depending on the game.
The new controller is compatible with all Xbox 360 racing games out of the box. However, Microsoft did offer a caveat, announcing that certain games will sport only "limited functionality" with the controller.
