    Quickly,  I have a MSFF wheel and I love it, but I want to get a
wheel/pedals for someone for a gift.  They are not real serious sim drivers, but
may want to bang around a little.  I have seen the INteract V3 wheel/pedal combo
for around 40$ and wondered if anyone can share some experiences with me about
using this wheel?  Is it junk?  Does it break easily?  does it work correctly?

TIA for any info

I had the V3.  I used it for about a year and a half.  While nothing
broke, the pots were extrememly prone to getting dirty by the end of
that time.  I would guess this was due to the rather large openings in
the pedal base for the pedal mechanism.  I used the wheel heavily on a
daily basis, also.  Actually, I started in GPL with this wheel!  I did
love the pedals, the were soft, with lots of travel.

I never had any problem with compatibility; it worked just fine in all
the games in which I used it.

Overall, I would say it was a decent wheel for the low end price --
keeping in mind that you get what you pay for.  For occassional,
softcore use, I think this wheel would be fine.  Our little guys pound
on my old one now, and it's still going, after about 2 years.  I just
spray the pots every few weeks, as needed.

Good luck!
