Good alternative to expensive wheels

This wheel feels good and is good value. The suction cups are strong enough to stay on a laptop stand and the clip is handy for a computer desk. The foot pedals will slip a bit unless pressed against something, but that goes for all game pedals that aren't attached to something solid. I followed the instructions to connect the device to my PS4 and Dualshock to play Gran Turismo. Sport and it worked great. Connecting Bluetooth to my Android phone was a bit tricky and the required app is almost unresponsive, but once I set it up everything was fine. Please note that only the pedals interact with the phone with the game - there's a clamp for mounting the phone in the center of the steering wheel, and you set up the game to control the tilt. This works very well. Haven't tried connecting it to a computer yet, but I'm pretty sure it will work. Pro tip: Skip the small manual that comes in the box and download the full 44-page manual from the manufacturer's website. It is important to know that this wheel is a controller in the form of a wheel and not a real steering wheel. If you connect it to the console, you also need to connect it to the controller via USB. It triggers controller signals so you set the game to control the left stick instead of the steering wheel. To connect the steering wheel to the phone, a Bluetooth dongle is used (which, by the way, requires 3 AAA batteries). You need to run an application in the background that converts pedal signals into virtual touches on the screen. The app is oddly unresponsive when you're in it, but seems to work well in terms of game controls. If you want real good quality steering wheel, you have to pay much more. If you just want to have fun without going broke, this steering wheel controller is a good option.
