Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel for Xbox One

I've never bought an Xbox Accessory that doesn't work on PC. Absolutely pitiful. Even if it did work on PC it has absolutely MASSIVE drift on the steering wheel sending your in game turning left and right and every single direction EXCEPT the one you want to go forward. Tested on Xbox.DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT TO USE ON PC, IT DOESN'T WORK! Unless you're REALLY balling on a budget and for some reason NEED a steering wheel for a mediocre driving game on Xbox, DON'T BUY THIS!

This wheel really brings a lot of fun to the living room. It's not quite like driving - Unless you've got a chair that can toss you around to feel the momentum of a tight turn, you're never going to have that. But it's much more realistic than a standard controller, and a lot more fun, too.The wheel itself is quite well-made, with a quality PU cover, metal paddle shifters, and a strong built-in clamp to attach it to your coffee table. I'm not sure how far racing steering wheels turn, but it doesn't have the range of motion of a standard car steering wheel (which typically rotate all the way around more than once). Thus, small adjustments yield much more dramatic steering than your typical car. The pedals feel great too. The appearance is meticulous, with buttons ... MoreThis wheel really brings a lot of fun to the living room.

But it's much more realistic than a standard controller, and a lot more fun, too.The wheel itself is quite well-made, with a quality PU cover, metal paddle shifters, and a strong built-in clamp to attach it to your coffee table. I'm not sure how far racing steering wheels turn, but it doesn't have the range of motion of a standard car steering wheel (which typically rotate all the way around more than once). Thus, small adjustments yield much more dramatic steering than your typical car. The pedals feel great too. The appearance is meticulous, with buttons hidden nicely in the form of things you might find on an actual car. That's a really nice touch once you know what's what.That said, it's far from perfect. The most obnoxious trait is that the cord isn't very long, so you'll have to sit fairly close to the TV or get an extender. Ideally, this would be wireless. And while the clamp is nice, the wheel needs some sort of height adjustment, because the coffee table is just too short to serve as a proper dashboard. I pulled up my ottoman as a driver's seat and made it work, but I definitely didn't feel like I was sitting in a sporty low-riding race car. The pedals also move a bit on my tile floor - keeping the area dust-free helps, but these would really benefit from a larger gripping surface or a suction cup or something. Last thing your need during a race is to lose track of your pedals.Despite these points of potential improvement, it's still REALLY fun. There's an hilarious learning curve at first (my wife laughed so hard she cried during my first crack at it), and once you've got the hang of it, it really is much more immersive than a standard controller. My nephews love it too, with the 7-year-old so impressed he just walks around the house making driving motions when it's not his turn. He spent about 2 hours playing non-stop while I watched a baseball game, and by the end of it, he was driving better than his mother does in real life (though admittedly, that's a low bar).Given what it brings to the game experience and the quality of the materials, I've already recommended it to friends, and think it's worthy of a high rating. If you think you'll enjoy it, you will. If a serious competitive gamer, I'm not serious enough to steer you right on this. However, do keep in mind that it takes up a good bit of space, so make sure you've got a place to keep it if you're going to buy it.

The Thrustmaster Racing Wheel Ferrari 458 Spider Edition for Xbox One is an awesome addition to an Xbox One. My daughter loves playing her Xbox, but this Ferrari racing wheel makes it so much more entertaining and gives racing games a real life feel. When playing and using this wheel as well as the gas pedals it feels as though you are really racing down tracks and it is so much easier to keep your car going in the direction you want to go while getting that real life racing feel of pressing the gas and steering the car. This would make an incredible Christmas, birthday, or holiday gift for ages 8 and up to all adults. I definitely recommend this racing wheel to anyone who owns or is intending to purchase an Xbox. The quality is great, the Ferrari look is just so ... MoreThe Thrustmaster Racing Wheel Ferrari 458 Spider Edition for Xbox One is an awesome addition to an Xbox One.
