the act-labs is very strong round the centre, better than the act labs to,
but there is hat really cool new add-on for the ms ff wheel.

Ok,Ive decided on the Sidewinder Precision Pro Racing Wheel.As it
stands now I already have a LWFF but dont like FFB at all since I am
actually slower with it on.I use the LWFF in non-ffb mode and it is
terribly loose around center prompting me to go and spend some more
cash for GPL:(
But before I hit the send button and let the online store take my
cash I have to find out some things about this wheel.
Very important to me is a wheel with a very strong return to
center feel to it.This is all good and dandy if it stays that way
though.I was tightening or changing my T2's bungee cord almost every
other day to maintain the tight feel I so craved.Does the Sidewinder's
bungee lose its tightness rather quickly??If so is the bungee as hard
to change or tighten as the T2's was??
Second is about the pedals.I have read good things about the
Sidewinders pedals but I have also read about owners enhancing the
pedals with great results.Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks
return to center is strong, just right i think.I'm not sure what microsoft
uses for centering the wheel but ive used my wheel for about 2 months no
problems.also no complaints about the pedals either.also the software lets
you setup how much sensitivity and dead zone,and you can map the buttons on
the wheel.only complaint would be if you like to shift the buttons behind
the wheel are kinda awkward...

I�m back with my old T2 (now every inch of it, changed many pot�s, springs,
bungee cord and even splitted axis on the pedals), MS uses a double action
torsion spring for centering wich provides excellent return but adds an
horrible center detent that I just couldn�t live with. The pedals are ok but
didn�t enjoyed the pressure neither the travel. I can�t make you a
suggestion but for me it didn�t worked. Also had a very big dead spot. The
clamping is ok. The plastic wheel is too hard is you plan long runs.
For me, it doesn�t worth the money. And my biggest disappointment was to see
just another pot in it, didn�t this was a digital thing?
Good luck if you get it
