Product Description
The Universal MC2 Racing Wheel is simply the most realistic racing wheel on the market, and the last you will ever need to purchase - even if you change game systems. The MC2 is compatible with PlayStation2, Xbox, GameCube, PS one and Playstation consoles. Wrap your hands around the rubber-grip wheel, extend the retractable leg supports, drop your foot onto the pedal and hang on. Vibration feedback adds realism while the Accudrive system lets you tune the wheel sensitivity to fit your personal driving preferences.

 hard to control December 16, 2007

I bought this wheel for 50 bucks art Walmart. I didn't much care for this wheel, it is nothing like really driving. It is not easy to control your vehicle at all. It sucks. I am now going to buy another one, I am going with Logitech instead, hopefully I will have better luck.

This steering wheel is made attractive by the low price and vibration feel. Please do not be fooled. In order to feel the bumps in the road you need to look for the key words "force feedback."
Steering wheel can be calibrated, but no matter how dead on your adjustment you will be left with a steering wheel and pedals that feel completely loose. Your only way of controlling steering wheel or pedal input is muscle memory of how far you actually turn your hands or press your feet often resulting in an "on-off switch" effect.
Would not recommend this wheel. If you are set on buying it, then mine is collecting dust in the closet - I'll make you a great deal!

i brought this for my son, it worked for about the first 10 days then the sensor i guess broke the throttle pedal would not accelerate neither brake using the brake pedal. it's a good wheel overall when it worked he said he could feel the response of the car perfectly with the wheel and it accelerated asoon as u taped the gas, 30 days has passed and the pedals no longer accelerate i really wish i new this would happen before i spent my money on it.

I got this for the express purpose of playing Gran Turismo 4 on PS2 which the box art states this wheel is compatible for.
First the good: The lap retention bars are a very cool feature that make it so the unit can be used without excessive hard mounting. The user calibration is convenient and easy to use. Feel of the wheel and pedals is excellent.
The Bad:
1) Calibration settings are lost when you turn off the power. Not terrible as resetting them is simple. It's just annoying.
2) Pedals do not set up correctly with GT4. With such excellent feel and throw on the gas and brake pedals, it's a shame that it doesn't map to a useable range on the game. The pedals have about 1" to 1.5" throw but in the game, .25" equals maximum gas/brake! That means about 75% of the pedal throw is useless and your ability to modulate throttle and brakes is severely compromised. In fact, powerful rear wheel drive cars cannot be controlled with this pedal setup. Yes, I tried every possible controller setting I could come up with and it was in dual analog.
3) Useless tech support. They don't respond to voice messages or email. I finally got a live person and they claim to have never heard of the problem. After getting this wheel, I checked some forums and there have been at least 3 other complaints about the pedals with no hint of a fix. Tech support's only tip was to unplug all memory cards and cold start. That did jack, guys! It's time to kick the software engineers in the head.
