The local Office Depot had this on sale for $79.99 the day after
Thanksgiving. I purchased it on impulse.
Is this a good wheel for this amount?
I did a little web surfing and Gamespot rated it so so.
Pricing from ComputerShopper turned up selling price in the $150 range.
Any comments appreciated.

I personally wouldn't have bought it. According to a GPL programer the
wheel has HORRIBLE CPU overhead when it is being sent commands.

I bought it and it's going back. I never got it to work because I already
had DX7 installed and it won't work with it. Tech support told me they
would probably have a new model out before there was a fix for this one.
I guess that's what happens when you go for a deal that's too good.

But didn't they
release new drivers that was supposed to fix that? At least dload the
latest drivers and give it a whirl before throwing it back.
