What about Saitek?
I'm in the market for a new wheel and am considering the Logi Momo, DFP, and maybe the Saitek R440 (http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/prod/r440.htm). It looks chezzy as most Saitek stuff does but seems to get good reviews. I'm worried about the pedal problems the Logi's are prone too.

As well I'm considering nailing down a Act Labs RS off ebay. I haven't noticed a mention of it on these boards. Does anyone have one? I always figured it to be the best, even better than the Red Momo.
Answered my own question today. Had a DFP as a loaner and bought this R440 today to comapre. What a joke. The Saitek is just an all around POS compared to a DFP. Terrible wheel feel, fairly crappy force, and the pedals have almost no resitance. Taking it back tomorrow for a DFP...
Good choice :up:

I am not too happy about most Saitek devices... they aren't the best in construction, ease of install, and maybe even precision. But... some devices they make are good, like a few of their gamepads and maybe one or two joysticks they make. But their wheels I just cannot come to liking :o.

DFP is an excellent solution.
As a former r440 owner, I can say that the only thing they are good for is letting your rat arsed mates pan the crap out of it in NFSU drift events, stomping on the accelerator and jerking the wheel from lock to lock every couple of seconds.

There might as well be a rotary switch in it for all the accuracy and tactile feel you get out of it
What pisses me off is the amount of positive reviews online about this wheel. I couldn't find a single bad work about it so I figured it would be worth it over the DFP pedal issues. Figures all these sites talk like there getting paid by Saitek...
