Decent ergonomics, awesome shifter, but poor accuracy

Up until now, I've only played with PC style clamp on racing wheels. The MC2 is nice in that it sits nicely in your lap while you sit, and rarely threatens to dislodge itself. The buttons are decent, the paddles are a bit shorter than they should be, and the vibration is a bit week (by the way it is "vibration", not to be confused with real force feedback). The problem is that the wheel is a bit loose, like an old logitech GP. For example, if you turn the wheel about 90 degrees off center and let it go, it springs back past the center, oscilating 3 or 4 times before hitting the dead zone.

This is nothing like a microsoft precision sidewinder wheel, which incidentally sells for about 1/2 the price (though they don't work for xbox). In a game like midnight club 2, this precision (or lack thereof with the Mad Catz MC2) makes a huge difference.

I have to say, for all the great reviews I've read, I was quite disappointed by this product. Nonetheless, this is still a fun accessory for a game like outrun 2.

Great wheel ....................no problems

I just got my wheel today and have been playing it over an hiour. i had not had any problems with disconnection or anything and the steering is great. I think this is the perfect racing wheel for the serious racing gamer.

Good but flawed

This wheel is good, but I am returning it. Frequently, an error message comes up on screen saying that my controller has disconnected. It happens at the worst times. I was better off using my controller.

Works well!

Do not buy this. The controller keeps disconnecting and freezing up while playing games.

This controller is cheap, which just shows, you get what you pay for. I would skip this controller and buy something better.

DO NOT BUY THIS CONTROLLER AT ALL.

Great way to drive in style with the xbox

Product did not work when I recieved it. Had a hard time contacting gamestop to correct the problem, but it was finally resolved by Amazon.com. Thanks for all their help.

What happened?

Okay, so I got this item for the PS2, and I loved it. Almost everything about it was great, and I encountered absolutely no flaws or problems. I have a review on it for the PS2 version if you want to read it.

Then saw that it had come out for the XBox. Well, I was excited because of the lack of racing wheels for XBox and I went ahead and bought it. At first, I tried it out for PGR, and it seemed to work fine. Then just about every other game I tried after that, I would get messages saying the controller was disconnected and I would lose control and not be able to finish races. What the heck happened? The PS2 version was perfectly stable with absolutely ever game I tried it with, then the Xbox version bombed on every game except the Gran Turismo rip-off.

I sent it back for a replacement, and they quickly sent me a new one, but whaddaya know? Same problem. So, I sold it on ebay and pretty much gave up on Xbox racing games, as most of them suck, and the ones that are good are available for PS2 anyway. Halo time.

horrible experiance

The MC2 racing wheel is total garbage! I worked with it all afternoon and tried to get it to work and I just got fustrated. It was so hard to steer and however you tried to adjust it, it wouldn't work right. I would rather stick to the regular controler. Don't waste your money on this steering wheel because you will mostly likely take it back to the store.
