If you need a wheel but can’t reach that financial line, Mad Catz provides a good stop along the way.

The Mad Catz Wireless Racing Wheel is better than most low-end shoddy products on the line, but can’t compete with the high ends wheels you’ll find when crossing the $500 threshold. If you have the funds available to invest in some serious racing equipment, Mad Catz is one option that doesn’t completely break the bank. But the wireless connectivity is seamless and the wheel connects to the system the same way as any other controller. This is a stark contrast to the Fanatec CSR Wheel that straddles three different platforms (at twice the price, to be fair). Forza 4 Demo Drifting - Onboard cam - 900 Degree The video above illustrates the major advantages of using a steering wheel controller as opposed to the standard game pad - the gamer who posted it overlying a shot of the controlled on top of the game video synced together to illustrate the relationship between the moves on screen and their controller moves. While it functions well, the Mad Catz Wireless Racing Wheel only works with Xbox 360.

But for anyone with a desk or table nearby, the plastic clamps do get the job done without slipping. This option allows for easy and accessible couch racing for those with little space for activities in their home. I for one have very little room to setup a racing rig in front of my home television, but by attaching the wheel’s lap rest I can get racing rather than constructing a pricey cockpit rig or makeshift table setup. One of the best aspects of Mad Catz’s wheel is the lap rest. The wheel has a moveable sequential shifter than can be switched to accommodate left or right handers. Additionally, the paddle shifters are metal too, making for swift strokes when testing the transmission. But the wheel and base contain solid metal elements that take the opposite route into good construction. The Wireless Racing Wheel doesn’t have a clutch, just a gas and brake pedal that also function as left and right triggers (try playing Need for Speed: The Run’s non-racing quicktime events while jamming on the gas and brake). 1.4 HORI Racing Wheel Apex Most Comfortable Wheel to Use. 1.3 Thrustmaster TX RW Leather Edition Best Steering Wheel with Luxurious Feel. 1.2 Fanatec Forza Motorsport Best Adjustable Steering Wheel. 1.1 Logitech G920 Dual- The Best Overall. They’re plastic and extremely light, with no option to attach them to the ground. 1 Top 10 Xbox One Steering Wheel with Clutch and Shifter. The construction of the pedals feels the most flimsy of the whole package. I couldn’t differentiate between the feedback of different vehicles while driving. But the tension feels either like an outside force banging on the device, or a gentle tug – nothing in between. The force feedback in the wheel is consistent, providing variable force when trying to corner any vehicle. It’s an affordable piece of equipment compared to Fanatec’s wheel (we’re looking at around $250) and does a good job of delivering racing action. Mad Catz’s offering falls somewhere in the middle. The Mad Catz Wireless Racing Wheel does a great job of delivering force feedback on a budget, with decent construction and easy connectivity.ĭesigned with Forza Motorsport 4 in mind, Mad Catz’s latest wheel can be seen as a competitor to the Fanatec CSR Wheel and Microsoft’s Wireless Speed Wheel. Their latest entry onto Xbox 360 is no different. One arena they’ve done quite well in is racing wheels. From console controllers to guitars, their products run the gambit of interactive entertainment. Settings.Mad Catz is a longstanding name in the peripheral game.

I use the Mode + Left-Dpad 1 or 2 blinks depending on the class of car I'm driving, since I don't always remember to reset my DOR in Adv. Steering: 1/100 (I have a very slight wheel default of about 5 degrees counter-clockwise) Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there, now I have to constantly keep the little brake 'bar' in HUD in the corner of my eye so that I can see when I'm engaging the brake properly.blech! Settings, but it gives me 100% well before my pedal hits bottom. Same for the throttle, I have it set to 1:98 in Adv. The way I first noticed this was that I had telemetry up while testing a tune and saw that my brakes didn't engage until I had depressed the pedal about 20% and that they were fully engaged at about 70%, even though my settings for Decel deadzone is 1:98. I've noticed that regardless of my game settings, the pedals don't react the way you set them up in Advanced Settings. To each their own, however I really enjoy driving with the wheel on lower clbutts. My contention is that with really fast cars, a quick reaction can overshoot its intended mark, so having less reaction to wheel input means less 'squirrelly' behavior.

I do it backwards from you, I set my wheel to 360 or greater for class A and above and I set it to 270 for B down. I find the wheel to be lousy for anything below x,p and r clbutts but brilliant on the fast cars. I have force feedback at 80 for x and p clbutts, 65 for all else I'd set rotation to 270 for x class and increase from there for slower clbutts
