Hi all,
Just looking for opinions about the GPL USB shifter from Act Labs.
-feel
-durability/longetivity
-how easy is it to replace springs
-customer support
Most importantly, will it work correctly with: WinXP, my TSW2M wheel w/
clutch pedal (entire thing is recognized as 1 controller), GPL, F1 2k2 and
its various mods, F1 Challenge 99-02, and Live for Speed? Thanks for your
opinions.

My system: WinXP, DX9, TSW2M wheel, Sound Blaster Audio Audigy soundcard,
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro videocard.

Not too bad. I replaced the light plastic knob with a heavy stainless
momo one, which improved the feel a lot.

Good. The springs are the weak link.

I haven't tried, but I did look at the PDF instructions, and it looked
easy enough.

Very good. I asked for, and got, a set of replacement spring for free!

At 11 months old springs are fine,and it adds alot to the simulation.
I have Win XP and there are no issues at all.
Go for it

Sorry, thought some people might not have seen it since I'd posted it over
the weekend. I was hoping more people would have info on the vaporware (?)
BRD shifter... :(
