Another surprise, but a nice one is the 4-directional D-Pad at the center of the wheel circle. A pretty small one, obvious even from the press shots and with a Lamborghini inspired fake-carbon style shifter knob. All buttons are though nice to touch and responsive. Seen like this, it was arguably a better choice than the lack of such buttons - the way it is with the outstanding Ferrari 458 Italia, for example. It'll take you some time to get used to, and because of the wheel cannot really substitute an entire controller for many reasons, including support, you'll experience additional inconveniences. There are 10 programmable buttons with the A (green) and B (red) ones installed on the left side, instead of the right like on Xbox 360 controllers. :) The wheel's layout is between ordinary to not really functional depending on your steering wheels practice.

Whatever the way to state it, Mad Catz MC2 Xbox 360/PC gaming wheel's design has a character of its own. That's what we've agreed on, if you are under the age of twenty-five you will probably just stick to the bus's comparison. Still, the best matching dashboard that appears to your mind taking a look at the XJ220 from the outside is this one. Yes, we are aware the shape of Jag's, once introduced as a V12 (in 1988) and later produced as a V6 for less than two years, steering wheel. The oval lines do somehow remind you of a mixture between a large city bus and.Jaguar HJ220. Certainly not that sleek like the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Italia, and having nothing to do with the black horses or any other brand's history, no replica, no Manettino and only diminutive, feeble gear changing paddles. The futuristic design is what attracts your attention from the very beginning. Recommending: OW game seat, Ferrari 458 Italia, Ferrari 458 Cockpit, T500 RS and Logitech DFGT. MC2 Xbox 360/PC - design, basic functions, and cons. It was the first racing wheel set compatible to the Microsoft Xbox 360, so being the very first certified Xbox 360 steering wheel that you can still acquire, we believe a short test and a summary just need to be present. Despite of this in the lowest pricing tag one of the common choices younger or less experienced gamers make, the Mad Catz MC2 Xbox 360/PC racing wheel blissfully rests through time. Mad Catz wheels are less popular than the Thrustmaster wheels, and there's a reason - quality and game title support. There are some budget, as well as not that budget Xbox 360 wheel choices from the San Diego-headquartered video game peripherals manufacturer Mad Catz.

True, steering wheels for PS3 are almost innumerable, licensing is easier/cheaper and Thrustmaster and Logitech compete for every single customer, regardless of his/her age and experience.

Whereas owning a Sony PlayStation 3 makes your selection quite easier, hence there are the Thrustmaster T500 RS steering wheel set and the TH8 RS eight-speed H-pattern and sequential gearbox available (pair it to the OpenWheeler+ game seat and forget about ever paying to use a professional driving simulator anywhere, you'll have it at your own home)). However, if you're not really that tempted of having the top of the pops for your console, among the Xbox 360 wheels there's a whole bunch of alternatives for it. It is generally the same in the breathtakingly realistic computer and console racing video games (simulators, arcades, etc.) which have only recently reached the peak of their popularity. From the world's first motorcycle to reach 100mph, the Lawrence of Arabia's fatal fascination (as well as the main reason for crash helmets to be designed and soon made obligatory, saving millions of cyclists' lives), to the Guinness World Record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle reached on Apollo 10's return from the Moon flight on (some 11.08 km/s or 24,791 mph), competition has always been deep inside us. It hasn't really been until the mid 1930's though, when the migration to actual fast and long distance moving means of transportation happened. We all remember the glorious horse carriages with dozens of horses, mentioned in many children fairy tales. In more recent history, whenever speed was needed - faster, purebred horses had to be used. Races and the element of competition have been a steady part of man's history since ancient times. Recommending TM wheels, T500 RS, OW+ and Mad Catz MC2 wheel set.
