ECCI products have always been very reliable and will probably be the only wheel you'll ever need to buy unless you upgrade to a new ECCI model. While they cost more than their counterparts the reason why is plain and simple. Quality engineering and testing. If you don't mind spending the money, you might as well get the best.

The ECCI Wheel is a VERY nice wheel, and I am pleased to admit that it is
"over" engineered. Quite a work of art in my books.
As far as the PDPI gamecard.... it will boast a positioning resolution "at
least" 2X what any USB wheel out there has currently. The ECCI wheel and the
PDPI gameport is the "overall" pinnacle in performance, precision,
stability, and data throughput (taxation) available on the market today.

P.S. you can read my review of the PDPI gamecard at:

Grab a coffee, I go into a bit of detail.
You might also want to read my tech papers on gameports at:

more detailed analysis of the PDPI versus the Standard Gameport on ANY
soundcard....
