"should" I have gotten the USB version? Are there any performance
difference between the two?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Logitech also produce a FF USB wheel.
I have both the MSFF wheels, the gameport and the new USB.
Get the USB wheel, it it a tighter wheel, the software is updated for
profiling (now integrated into the game controller software) and the grip on
the wheel is improved.
Personally I love this wheel

Requires DX7 and makes no mention of Immersion (tm) anywhere on the
box.

BTW, I did read it carefully, it was NOT the MS precision racing wheel
(usb, non ffb), but in fact a USB FFB wheel.
Well aware of their choice to purchase an api (well, purchase the
whole damn company) that relied on the MIDI interface in some
misguided attempt to make hookup easier back in the pre-usb days when
Immersion required serial. Kinda backfired, eh? Especially if you own
a joyswitch.
I suspect that DX-7 includes some nifty code to allow USB with this
same API, that is why I mentioned the DX-7 requirement in my previous
post on this topic, and the lack of any Immersion credits on the box.
And I can tell you that their website does NOT reflect this new wheel
yet.

Not flaming ya, I was just as certain as you that they didn't make a
USB ffb wheel until I held it in my hands at Babbages in St. Louis.
'Course, I could use that $1000.00...

I guess I just won't believe it exists until you say so.
Thanks for your service!
