Wireless Wheel Help ?
Does anyone have one of these and use it sitting on their lap ?
If so how do you find it, wouldn't mind a wheel to re ignite the racing games in my collection ?
Also does it work on PC ?

Forget that lap madness.
If you're going to bother with a wheel, get your shit together and build a PVC cockpit.

Cheap and effective.
Cue Seraph coming in to tell you how shit the XB Wireless Wheel is....
PGR4, but most of all Forza2 and Race Pro are awesome with it.
Not so sure about more arcadey stuff. DiRT wasn't much cop, NFS, etc would probably be awful, and I don't even want to think about Burnout Paradise (although I could give it and OutRunOA a go and let you know).

well I got one anyway, no thanks to the sage advice of you freaks.
The feedback's quite strong in PGR4, at least - more than I was expecting after playing Outrun with it, which has no feedback.
Windows will automagically download the drivers for it if you have the dongle. I only have one racing game suitable for it on PC, so I haven't tried it yet.
I find it amusing that you can play non-driving games with it though.

ummm... there's probably cheaper wheels out there if you just want to use it on PC, but you're kinda stuck for options with the 360.
I'm going to have to restart my PGR4 career because I just can't control any of the cars I'm up to using with it. I am reminded that I suck at using the wheel.
I should have remembered that.
Outrun plays shitloads better with the wheel though.

Rumble, yes. Feedback, nothing. Rumble doesn't equate to feedback with this thingGreyWizzard wrote:odd, I thought Outrun had settings for different levels of rumble.
Oh,. and it's annoying to have on your lap because it keeps sliding about. I liked the way my Saturn wheel makes you sit it under your thighs

OK, apparently no PC games will support the force feedback, as Microsoft have not enabled it via XInput. Second to that, it appears as though games need to be specifically designed with XInput libraries in order to make full use of it - otherwise the accelerator and brake pedals share an axis, which is kinda shit.
On the other hand, M2emu supports XInput, and so Daytona, Sega Rally and Indy 500 work flawlessly
