I would like a steering wheel with the following features:

- solid build (eg: steel springs and not ***);
- force feedback (more realism and I hope more quality);
- strong pedals (I mean the break pedal not soft to push);
- F1 type shift;
- USB interface;
- easy repair if broken spring, etc.;
- price;
- compatibility with F1 GP2.

I prefer to choose among the following wheels:

- ACTLAB RS;
- MICROSOFT ???;
- LOGITECH WINGMAN FORMULAFORCE;
- LOGITECH WINGMAN FORMULA not force feedback;
- SAITEK ???;

Which do you think is best?

Thank You in advance for your info.

Not the CDS4000

Definitely the CDS4000!

Yup, CDS4000 again.

Uhuh, no, not this time. CDS4k is joystick port only.

*IF* you break a spring, it's certainly easy to change the wheel.
The CDS4k has a wide range of configuration options when you lift the
cover off the wheel unit: return to centre spring force, steering
lock.

CDS4000 == *lots* !!! Worth it though.

Yup, there's a switch to set the pedals to linked axis mode which I
believe is easier to setup in GP2. I never play GP2 nowadays though.
Thinks: GPL.

Oops, wrong wheel!! I hope all of these are built to withstand
continued use.
