Review on Xbox 360 MicroCon Racing Wheel Black by Allen Wagner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great racing bike with cord.

I bought this for my twins for their birthday as they are only 6 years old and have some difficulty using normal controllers to control and operate Forza 3, PG4 and other racing games they have. It's a bit small but perfect for her and fits me too. My husband is a tall guy and he doesn't like using it that much as it doesn't fit very well on his lap. I'm terrible at racing games, but it helps me control the cars better and is more intuitive than using a controller. Overall, having a steering wheel and pedals that can be used while driving is great and helps increase the fun of the game. There are all the same buttons. So once you figure out what function is used for what, it can be used just as easily as using controllers to navigate an Xbox. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to spend $150 for a wireless MC wheel set and is suspicious of the wireless one that looks more like a Wii peripheral and doesn't have all the buttons like this one. I also prefer pedals. The cords are a little uncomfortable, we have 3 boys and dogs running around us so sometimes someone or something gets tangled in the cord but that's a minor complaint and it wasn't worth doubling the price and then some with a wireless device.

Pros
  • Elegant Design
Cons
  • Problems
