Xbox 360 Wireless Wheel review

Well when i first saw this wheel i though holy crap now thats a nice box:P, but then i see the price tag and think stuff that. Eventually after alot of trading i got and was it worth it:). Firstly the box is nice as i said but so is everything else to it, it feels solid and its got that quality to feel to it. Although its called "wireless" it really isnt you still have to plug in the pedals and the ac adaptor(for force feedback), personally i don't care about that its two wires that i don't even notice. You have two options of placing it on your lap or on a table, considering most people seem to play from a couch i would imagine most will be using the lap option, now i have tried other wheels with this lap support and felt it just didnt feel right as if its going to fall off but this sterring wheel seems to sit nicely. Well after the short prep time am ready to go so shove in forza and off i go. first thing i found was the sterring wheel was sterring itself, of course thats the force feedback and its good! Am sure some of you will have played arcade driving games and felt the force feedback from that, its exactly the same as that and it feels good(not being rude!). The only draw back with this is that you really have to hold it with both hands and keep a good grip on it. The pedals weren't as good as i was hoping for, don't get me wrong they done the job but i found it tricky to get 50% power, anyway thats not a big deal. Now i was ready for some online racing and where i found a big flaw (for me anyway) the mic seems to have humming coming from it and everyones quiet, even though everythings works fine for the person on the other end. After searching for a bit i discovered that it's a problem with all wheels which really is crap but i seem to find alot of people have wireless mics so they are unaffected. So in general the wheel is excellent and well worth it if you can afford it. Despite the flaw with the mic it's definitely a awsome bit of kit and your paying for quality, again except for mic:P.
