ok not a csl one....

whats the best steering wheel for gaming, looking at one for my son (xbox)
then I can get him GT5 :whistle:
he has one already with the pedals and he uses it all the time but its not a very good one.. I didnt want to splash the cash thinking he would only use it a couple of times, he's never off it !

I got a great one last christmas, a present from the Mrs.

Logitech G25 with pedals inc clutch and gear level

Force steering wheel, very good

Pedals feel very very real.

Gearchange can be done with gear lever in a conventional H pattern or locked into a sequential- push/pull. Also gear change on paddles.

All in gets my vote, had many hours of fun:thumbs:

GT5 is only on the PS3 and the best wheel for that is the G25 as Lawsy mentioned. But for the XBOX they do a Porsche GT3 RS wheel - http://www.fanatec.de/html/index.php?id=230&lang=en - not cheap but is a very good wheel by all accounts. I bought the microsoft one year ago but it's crap.

GT5 is Playstation only mate - always has been and always will be I think...
