Madcatz Wireless Xbox 360 Steering Wheel Review - GamingZap

[MADMANx511]

Is it compatible with PC?

[SuperM1998]

Yo i gonna buy this one...it's good steering wheel?

[fqer1]

is that an seq. shifter or an h pattern shifter

and also can you hard mount this ting on an playseat classic

[UnifiedPerfection]

That is brilliant im buying one right now.

[68paully]

i know its wireless but does it come with a wire???? so i dont have to use batteries if i want to?

[SteveO4785]

You can't use the battery packs that Microsoft makes? If not that sucks...the old Wireless wheel let you.

[RY3ERECHILLIN]

Does this work on PC or not ? Doesn't matter if it doesn't just want to know thank.

[sk4teforlife1]

how much?

[SEMAVERICK]

I have one of the original ones and it is a very good wheel, I will probably sell it though just cos I NEED a wireless version. They are very rare on amazon

[mackan297]

have it force feed back ?

[leonardoluiss02]

what's the maximum turning angle you can get on this steering wheel?

[Mattythetoilet]

is this better or worse than the official steering wheel ?

[lizzylot44]

does this work with nascar 11

[mackan297]

feedback ??

[STREETSKATE808]

can you switch the break and the shift pedal controles

[TheMachineProducts]

Can someone please help me with force feedback, i cant get it to work with Forza Motorsport 3? Help me please! I would appreciate it sooooo much! :))

[vGRAFINATORv]

what do the right and left pedals behind the wheel do?

[Blain1971]

Nice wheel. Now if Madcatz would just ship the damn thing. I ordered it Tuesday, it is now Saturday and it still says "in progress". I guess I'm going to have to call someone Monday and get them off their perpetual coffee break. They could at least refund my $130 some odd dollars if they don't intend to send the wheel to me.

[BosanacEddie]

If i was to buy this and have it shipped to australia, would it work on my 360?

[airsoftbuddies50]

can you use other shifters with it?

[IsingAllKinds]

can anyone tell me what the power lead should be ? 12v or 24v i live in the uk

many thanks.

[BRAV0TWOZER0]

anyone got any idea where in england i can find a xbox adaptable steering wheel with both types of gear (Shift and paddles) and with a clutch pedel aswell as break and throttle (Obviously)

[MrPlayerslayer]

do the gear shifter work?



[craigdagreb666]

can you programe/change the setting for the stick shifter to be a hand brake on these??

[DriftinWolf]

This is probably a stupid question but is it worth it? I'm only asking bc I only play video games on the weekends and sometimes I don't play at all for a couple so that's the only reason why I'm asking if its good for the long run.

Thanks for the great review! :D

[dpace07]

could there be a possibilty taht it wont work with forza 4 or dirt 3? :/

[thecleaner084]

@cjere2k9 the cord and the "black plastic thing" are for the old type head set connections. the new headset's are just a straight 2.5mm connector

[snoozieboi]

Clamp and pedals are almost identical to my old Saitek r 440 wheel for PC (oh, I see it's already commented)

[GamingZap]

@cjere2k9 I don't remember a black plastic thing in the box..is it to do with the clamping system? If you are stuck maybe send us a picture to support :) or maybe you got lucky and they sent you some freebies? :)

[19DaRiO95]

i have it :D

[jjasonell]

x box one is better you have to have feed back on it thats what it is all about pilotanimal666 lets race dirt shift f1 lets race

[gorzowiak86]

(Xbox 360) Mad Catz Steering Wheel looks like (PC) Saitek R220

[Blain1971]

Thx for the review....considering how I cannot find any xbox wheels available on Amazon right now, being able to get this direct from the Madcatz site is going to be a lifesaver. And at $129, its not as outrageous in price as the other wheels, with tax return time coming up. My copy of F1 2010 should be in my P.O. Box Monday, this will go great with that.

[GamingZap]

@greatt23 Force feedback is active resistance generated by motors inside the wheel so it feels more realistic, ie when you turn the wheel right the motors will create resistance and try to pull the wheel back to the left and so on, it varies according to what game you are playing etc.. not sure how else to explain that :(

[kobak5]

why would i pay so much for a steer with force feedback, for the ps3 the wheels are way cheaper,.,,,, :(

[laurie592]

im getting that tomoz yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[justplainnic]

no force feedback...thats a major dissapointment

[SquirlKiller]

is there any other wheel (besides the expensive fanatec ones) that has force feed back? (and is good?)

[GamingZap]

@SquirlKiller There aren't any current wheels besides the fanatec ones with force feedback at the moment that I am aware of since Microsoft discontinued their one. This wheel has spring resistance in the wheel and vibration but no active motor driven force feedback, still feels pretty solid though :)

[MegaYeahmate]

does this have vibration on it or not?

[resusdj]

Hi Does this wheel work with F1 2010? thanks

[GamingZap]

@resusdj Can confirm it does work with f1 2010 :)

[MegaYeahmate]

@GamingZap hi does this have vibration

[GamingZap]

@MegaYeahmate It has vibration but no force feedback :(

[IAmUrMum]

@GamingZap £100+ and it doesnt even have force feedback!? deary me

[GamingZap]

@IAmUrMum Just under 100 ;) it does have passive resistance, rumble and is completely wireless, but unfortunately there are no wheels with force feedback at the moment beside the fanatec ones. If you know of any though let me know!

[IAmUrMum]

@GamingZap The official xbox 360 steering wheel has force feedback and is only around £60 now, i've got it and it's WELL worth it

[GamingZap]

@IAmUrMum The original one was great, but it has been discontinued :(

[resusdj]

Looks a good product does it work with Xbox F1 2010? Thanks for your help.

[sookster54]

Any distributor selling this in Canada? It's a tough one to find.

[GamingZap]

@sookster54 Sorry we only currently ship within the UK and EU, if you have a contact there we would be more than happy to sell them :)

[OneOfMyBadDays]

does this work with the new need for speed?

[GamingZap]

@OneOfMyBadDays Hi, it works with Need for Speed hot pursuit if that is the one you are referring to :)

[xesidesirex]

nice vid will u do a review wid forza 3 plz ???

[GamingZap]

@xesidesirex We don't currently have a copy of Forza 3 in the office but I will try to get one done for you, might not be before christmas though!

[xesidesirex]
