is there a notchless wheel thats smooth and easy?

Im tired of my per4mer turbo wheel (no pedals).

I don tcare for FF, I just want a nice smooth wheel with no center notch (or
any other notches for that matter). Pedals would be a plus.

Gary

thanks!!!

The other posts regarding the ECCI and TSW wheels are dead-on, but the
ECCI and TSW products may be beyond most people's budgets. I own a
TSW and a TSW2, and they're my favorites, hands-down (to be fair, I
haven't tried an ECCI wheel -- too expensive for me!). These wheels
represent the top-end of the spectrum, but you've got to be willing to
literally spend hundreds of dollars just to get a base model TSW2
($220, to be exact, plus shipping).

For something that's in the more affordable end of the spectrum (i.e.,
less than $80 US), I'd highly recommend either the Mad Catz Andretti
Racing Wheel (retails for $65 on the Web) or the ACT Labs RS wheel
(about $69). We have a review fo the Andretti Racing Wheel available,
and a review of the ACT Labs wheel is in the works. BOTH wheels are
ULTRA-SMOOTH and NOTCH-FREE (pardon my caps).

The ACT Labs RS wheel is possibly the smoother of the two, but the
Andretti wheel is digital (this means no calibration drift, less
processor load, and better frame rates) and it has slightly stronger
return-to-center characteristics (I find this nice for ovals,
personally). Check out the various sim hardware reviews on The IRL
Insider Magazine Sim Site:

Don't forget TM! They have the NASCAR Pro (or the F1 Wheel in Europe)
