Articles > Force Feedback Steering Wheels Mini Reviews
By Michael Lam
12 September 1999

The new breed of Force feedback steering wheels are causing quite a stir in the racing department. Are they worth the money, and what about the original non-force steering wheels? I investigate each of these 6 steering wheel's pro's and con's.

Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback

Looks and feels good. Brilliant sturdy pedals. Includes Monster Truck Madness 2 and Microsoft Carts. Go ahead and give Bill some more of your money.

Cons
Expensive. Oddly positioned buttons and paddles.

Race Leader Force Feedback

£100 ($167)

Pros
There aren't any.

Cons
Cheap and tacky. Don't even look at this. Everything is poor and the wheel is uncomfortable. £100? Not worth 50 of my pounds I tell you.
