Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhanced PS3 Racing Wheel Controller for Optimal Gaming Experience by Issac Smart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For what it suggests this is a great product

Obviously this is an affordable wheel and you can't expect what you would get from a more expensive wheel like the G27 or G25 in terms of size would expect. and pedals, but in terms of being able to enjoy it by making your expectations of a gaming steering wheel realistic, this product ticks all the boxes. I bought it for a few things. At the time I had never tried a gaming wheel and wanted to know what a gaming wheel is like so I was looking for something that wasn't too expensive just in case it wasn't. It was licensed by Sony and I was sure it would work well with GT5. I was playing with my normal controls and wanted to improve my experience since the game itself is realistic. I was very skeptical and had very low expectations because before I buy anything I look at YouTube reviews. I saw a guy checking it out with a GT5 and I noticed it was lagging compared to when the in-game guy was moving his arms when the real player was moving the steering wheel. To really disappoint me because you want the wheel to move at the same time as the charts but even then I still wanted it, the price was right and I got it. The delivery was very fast and better than I thought, I opened it immediately as I was very much waiting for it. I was surprised that the quality of the wheel material was very good. The size was small but I expected the worst, in fact it turned out to be much better than I thought. It's a very nice steering wheel, it even has the PlayStation logo on it which makes it official. The pedals are plastic, very playful as pedals, just enough to have fun with, but for the price, I was glad it even came with a pedal. It's nice to have. I put it on straight away and to my surprise the steering wheel works very accurately, I don't know what weird settings the youtube guy had, but the steering wheel responds perfectly and very realistically to the GT5, it has exactly the same timing as the driver in the charts, and that alone has left me completely satisfied. I could even go so far as to say that controlling the GT5 with this thing is a lot easier than with a controller, as soon as I started playing I was already getting better results than with a regular PS3 controller. Actually, I got gold in international licenses, which I couldn't get with normal control. Another great thing about it is that just like the PS3 controller it has vibration, some reviews said it didn't. Feature but it works and works well because it follows the same timing as the PS3. It's nice to be behind the wheel. The settings are easy to adjust in-game, in fact they are already automatically configured for the GT5 and you can still change them as they work like a normal controller. It comes with paddles so you can have fun with manual driving too. A lot of the good cars in GT5 use paddles in real life so there is no need to have a stick for them but paddles are there and this wheel they are, they feel good enough. It comes with suction cups to fix it on the glass coffee table. That's the only thing keeping it fixed. So if you want it to stay fixed to something other than glass, you'll have to come up with your own solution. I have a glass coffee table so it wasn't a problem for me, if I get the cups wet they stay strong enough. stays at the perfect height of the real car then I press the pedals against the TV stand to keep them from moving forward and the gameplay was very good, quite realistic if you ask me what I'm working with. I have a big Bravia HDTV so it looks good. The pedals are very small so you'll have to fiddle with your socks because you won't respond well to riding in shoes, but they're already programmed for brake and gas so you don't have to worry about that. In order for the steering wheel to be recognized, you have to connect it to the PS3 before turning on the console, otherwise it will not be read, nor does it have ports for the PS2, which has a lot of good car games on it, and I think that is the only downside of it. But in general, despite all the positives, I mentioned that this bike lives up to expectations in terms of fun, good play and very precise control. This great value steering wheel deserves 5 stars and I would recommend it to anyone who is already looking to start enjoying their car games, especially GT5, while saving up to upgrade to something like the PlaySeat or G27. Why wait when you can already start having fun with him?
