Conclusion

If you're looking for some added realism in your racing experience and enhanced graphics and audio just don't quite give you enough of the "real thing," then the AVB MagTurbo force feedback racing wheel is the product for you.

The actual product is made very sturdily and works like a charm, although the pedals could be improved on slightly. Racing with a wheel, let alone a force feedback one, is a completely new experience and will surely suck you into the racing genre of games. Once you're used to it, this wheel will help you win many more races and will allow for a much more realistic experience. As claimed, you can truly feel every bump in the road and every smash of your car and, capable of producing more than 3 lbs of force, this wheel will send every jolt, regardless of how massive it may be, up and through your body.
