Does anyone out there know how the Mad Catz steering wheel compares with
other wheels in terms of durability, accuracy, support and ergonomics?
If I go out and buy this tommorow, will I regret it?

"Try to hold some faith in the goodness of humanity"
(Neil Peart, 1993)
My advice is to stay away from the Mad Catz wheel at any cost. I
bought one for the PC (to play GP2), and it is absolutely pathetic
quality. After much modification, mine is usable, but I intend to
rebuild it from scratch when I have the time.
Aside from the quality issue, the wheel is completely at the wrong
angle and feels like you are driving a bus rather than a race-car.

You get what you pay for I suppose. I've had mine for a while and
it seems OK to me. I couldn't justify the $299 Aust the T2 costs
here, and at under half the price, MC gives the realism of a wheel
and pedals, and with practice, I can lap quicker than I could with
my Sidewinder3d Pro or the k/b.
My main concern WAS the construction quality, but after opening
the unit up, it's clear that it is easily repairable from any rough
use, and the pedals (without giving enough spring) are satisfactory.
For half the price of the T2 (which I have tried), it seemed OK...you
can't expect a work of art for that price. Hell, if you compare the T2
to some of the***pit based driving systems worth $000s - the quality is
absolutely pathetic there too. The Mad Catz also seems to have kept
a lot of Playstation users out there very happy as well.
Ummm, it's not a race car or a bus...it's a computer :-) The angle
was ideal for my desk and that's what matters. (at least to me :-)
I'd suggest trying a T2, then a Mad Catz in a shop and see if the
difference is enough to warrant the extra cost. Everyone has
different needs AND a different size wallet (and a different wife
standing behind them at the time ;-)
