This is not a new product by any means, but it's still very good. The wheel unit clamps down very securely to the desk with a triple-clamp system. There are six front thumb buttons as well as a pair of 'flappy paddle' gear shifters. In addition, the up/down sequential-type gear shifter can be positioned on the left or right side as preferred.
The pedal unit grips very firmly to the carpet, and the brake pedal has two springs for extra resistance.
The force feedback feature is very good, and vastly superior to a vibration feedback. Drive over a bump and the wheel is jerked to the side in a very realistic manner, or driving over a gravel pit will result in juddering.
One minor flaw is that the power adaptor for the force feedback is quite large (at least on the UK model) and may block adjacent sockets if you're using a power strip. All in all a great controller set though.
