I am interested in getting this wheel. But would like some information on it first. Where can I get reviews and opinons? Thanks for any help.

The buttons are oddly positioned though - way too low if you drive with your hans at the 10/2 o'clock positions as lot of people do. I was also surprised that there weren't MORE buttons - The T2 was always difficult to use for action games like I76 because there weren't enough buttons. If they'd put a couple finger-trigger buttons under the 2/10 o'clock hand positions it would have been perfect. Joe

Good step up from the T2 although there is a little learning curve getting use to the feel of it. Also, the price is pretty good compared to some of the high end wheels. It feel sure it is not as good as a ECCI or TSW but for those who don't want to spend $500+ (figurtive number) on a race car controller, it is the best way to go. Brian

From most in-car camera shots of the F1 & CART drivers they seem to race with their hands more in 9/3 o'clock position. I think this is because of the position of their buttons. If you adopt this position, the button location work fine (if your thumbs are long enough that is). -- **************************** Michael E.

Probably true, but I think that would be a very difficult adjustment for me to make. Joe
