Just wondering if anyone who has one could tell me how the control and force
feedback compares to a ms sidewinder.

I've used both and I think the Act Labs wheel is superior in every
way, except that its motor bushings squeak a lot.  If you turn up the
volume in whatever game you are playing, you never notice it.

The Act Labs stock pedals aren't so hot.  They dont travel enough and
bind up a lot.  You can do some mods that help them out a bit.  I
haven't tried the upgraded pedals from Act Labs.

The MS pedals are much better that the Act Labs pedals, but like I
said, the MS wheel really doesn't compare.  I think the MS wheel costs
more.

Act Labs tech support is pretty responsive and generally helpful.

You have to decide whether or not you can live with rather
sub-standard pedals or can afford to purchase the pedal upgrade before
owning the Act Labs controllers.

HTH,
Gerald
