XBOX 360 WIRELESS SPEED WHEEL 44708 PLUS

However, sitting in the lounge room, playing Forza 4, the Microsoft Wireless Speed Wheel is indeed a giant leap forward in control for a car nut (from a controller), putting a more realistic feel to the game than thumb steering can offer.ДЄnd on the super plus side вЂ“ those of you who arenвЂ™t living the bachelor life of luxury will be pleased that the wife/girlfriend wonвЂ™t mind the Wireless Speed Wheel because there is no fixed fittings to add to the table or chairs. Retailing at $59.95 itвЂ™s nowhere near the price tags of the high end performance wheels youвЂ™ve seen around, and to be frank, it doesnвЂ™t offer the same accuracy or realistic feel those do. This too is good, but can also get tiring when you make lots of minor movements without anything other than your arms holding the wheel up and steady. There is also a high degree of steering sensitivity with even the smallest movements replicated on screen. The responsiveness on the wheel between your movements and that of the game are close to immediate as well, but they are not dead on. You have your rev limiter and get braking feedback as well. The green lights on top of the wheel light up to enhance the feedback. I would struggle to give up a hard core dedicated bolt-to-the-desk steering wheel, however, for the lounge-room Xbox this is almost ideal. That said, I donвЂ™t think this is at all aimed at the super racing gamer (like me). Held in your hands, this is one very light controller вЂ“ which does take away from the true driving gameplay experience a little вЂ“ only because you donвЂ™t get the weight or resistance from a real wheel. Drive with confidence and zero loss of performance knowing that the wheel is powered by the same award winning wireless technology used in the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.

HereвЂ™s a (very crude) first look at the wheel in action вЂ“ cut me some slack, I had to sit and hold it awkwardly to allow the whole thing in the video, but you can see here the sensitivity of the wheel and general performance. Featuring sleek design and cutting edge technology like dual Rumble motors and powerful Force Feedback, the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel is a masterpiece of form and function. Being wireless you donвЂ™t have the issue of steering a wheel that is sitting on your lap where it is likely to fall right or left on sharp corners. You have the flexibility to sit or stand or move about which you donвЂ™t get with conventional stuck to the desk wheels. Operating wirelessly up to nine metres from your Xbox, the Wireless Speed Wheel will allow you to get a better racing experience from games like F1 2011 and Forza 4. Perhaps taking design tips from the Red Bull Racing team, Microsoft has cut the top of the steering wheel and gone for a U shaped controller for all your motoring and racing games. Any true lover of motoring and racing games will know that driving a performance car with your thumbs is just plain crazy вЂ“ you need to get your hands on a wheel! Microsoft has just released its new offering вЂ“ the Wireless Speed Wheel.
