www.force-1.com looks at the R4 Saitek wheel.
I own one and everything is great except the distance that the brake pedal
moves.  It is so short that precise, small movements are impossible.  It's
almost on or off which makes GPL without braking help impossible.

Brake travel is actually a bit too short on the R4 pedals, but after
some practicing I find it very good for GPL, without braking help
(with left-foot braking, of course).
