The MOMO� Racing Force Feedback Wheel also offers extensive and
versatile programmable controls. It features six easy-to-reach buttons
on the center hub and a pair of sturdy paddle shifters. However, it
also sports a MOMO� designed manual shift knob with precise sequential
shifting action. The shift knob can be moved by the gamer from the
right to the left side of the wheel console and back.
Finally :)

Another piece of good news is that Logitech will be offering a lower-priced
version of its top-of-the-line model, the MOMO Racing Force. The design is
pretty much the same. The clamping system is also somewhat simplified.
Optical sensors are a new feature, the first ones used by Logitech.

Where are the corners cut? If it's still a quality item sound
like a bargain.
I will have my ideal soon... I've got the Momo Force, AL Shifter with Momo
gearknob :-) and a homebuilt clutch. The ballracing pedals will be next...

Can't recommend it too highly.

I'm tired of tractor pedals from Logitech.

Am I the only one thinking that this is going to be a Force GP with a
different wheel style and cheesy external shifter?
RETAIL is $100. This is going to be 75 bucks at Best Buy and still
turn a profit.

No, you are not the only one. Seems like they are doing the same
thing as last time: start with a higher-quality wheel that gets
good reviews and follow up with a cheapo version that is supposed
to be as good in spite of a much lower price. Wasn't true with the
GP so I doubt it will be true now (but of course I'm biased since
I payed ~$250 for my Momo :-).

No, but it's be easy enuf to imagine: take a stock TSW pedal setup and paste
picture of MOMO pedal pads on top. Trust me, it looks awesome.

I will do that anyway soon :) im thinking of neel-bearings. (Is that the
english name?)
And a pair of military-speced pots for $40 each should solve the other
problem with my pedals.
gonna be expensive :( maybe i will live with it :)

Close, needle bearings, I used ball bearings for my homemade wheel,
figured it had less resistance as I didn't want any resistance from the
shaft itself, the springs now provide all the tension/resistance

I see the new TM Ferrari wheel
(http://www.tomshardware.com/business/02q2/020529/e3_day2-07.html - thanks
DGF)
features "neel" bearings. Looks smashing, too!

Point proven, if TM uses needle bearings, I'm sticking with my ball
bearings :-)

Needle bearings would be smoother but they won't handle any thrust
loading. Not that you are likely to have very high thrust loading, but
there has to be something to take it. IOW it could end up feeling real
smooth until you hit a button or try to shift, and then it might bind
up.
