Thorough Review Under Updates, so far it's solid.
I bought this steering wheel to use as both an Xbox and PC steering wheel. I broke down the sections with a header. I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this steering wheel. It was just newly released, so I took a gamble.XBOX Review 07/06/20:TLDR: Highly recommend for a first steering wheel for Xbox, details below.I plugged it into my Xbox (it's a bit strange how it sets up on consoles, but it's easy: you have to plug the steering wheel into the Xbox (or Playstation), plug another cable into your controller, and then turn on the console). I find the cord that is included with the steering wheel to be way too short, I op tested (Operationally Tested, jargon) it on my lap, and I had trouble concentrating on keeping my Xbox controller on my lap, the steering wheel, AND the race (Forza 7). The cable included is maybe 6 inches.As far as the actual play of it, it actually worked quite well! I tried my first race with the default sensitivity, and it wasn't sensitive enough. I decided to go all out and change the sensitivity to the maximum, and it works BEAUTIFULLY on Forza 7. Changing the sensitivity (after reading the instructions) was a breeze. The play was pleasant (there's no force feedback, but I don't really need that), and I'm looking forward to trying it with F1 (on Xbox) or Nascar Heat 4 (PC).PC Review: My next day off of work :-P*UPDATE* 07/28/20I've just used this on both F1 2018 and Nascar Heat 4 on the PC. It has performed perfectly on both of these games. You just need to set up a control scheme through the actual game, and it does what it needs to.I would HIGHLY recommend this steering wheel to anyone looking to dip their toe into the water. The only MINOR gripe I have is that the suction cups don't stick terribly well unless they're wet. I've played about 9-12 hours with the steering wheel, and have no issues as far as the performance of this wheel.

Best wheel value for both consoles.
Pros:-wheel does not lock in top center, very smooth action, good bearing.-vibration-works on ps4 and xbox one s (tested)-dpad/buttons on wheel mimic controller, easy to navigate unlike other wheels.Cons:-small diameter. Does not bother me.-like all controller based wheels compatible with both consoles, this has a dead zone that is more pronounced on xbox. Not a wheel issue, just an xbox issue. PS4 seems to work better with these universal wheels.-pedals could be bigger, but they articulate just fine.Summary: outstanding value and features for money in a compact wheel. Some wheels only available for one console or the other can out perform this, but for a universal wheel, this has everything you need for half the money!

Flawed, but a fair value for what you get
This is the cheapest wheel / pedal set that I could find and it suited my needs well. I would recommend it for the purpose of figuring out whether you enjoy racing games enough with the cheap wheel that you would want to upgrade.The base was fine with the suction cups on a smooth table. The rare time one would get loose, I'd just wet it a bit and it would stick fine.Pedals work fine, they are close together, so larger boned folks might have trouble with them. The springs are weak so it's hard to have precise control over the pedals, but they're fine for starting out.The pedals WILL slide around, even on carpet. You will need to prop them against a wall or something sturdy.The wheel is indeed small, but this didn't bother me much. It controls fine, and worked with every game I tried (on the PC), including F1 2020, Assetto Corsa, and Assetto Corsa Competizione.The biggest flaw in the wheel is the paddle shifters. They are complete garbage. They have strong springs and thin plastic connecting them to the wheel. I am gentle in how I used controllers and the first one broke on the first day of use (snapped off). I was extra careful with the second paddle, but it also broke, this time the spring popped out internally and couldn't be retrieved so it just rattled around inside.The other flaw is that the wheel uses a potentiometer as the sensor. What this essentially means is that it will wear out over time and get very jittery. So after about 180 hours of use, you can really notice the wheel sometimes jerking around in game even when you have it steady in your hands. I should point out that it would not be reasonable to expect a $50 wheel to NOT have a potentiometer, so I'm not going to ding them a star for it, but be aware, this controller has a limited use life. If you get to 200 hours of use and you still want more, it's time to upgrade to a better one.Overall I enjoyed my time with this wheel even with its flaws. It did what I expected and made driving games much more fun than with a gamepad. Don't compare it to a $250 wheel and you'll be fine.

Great value
I ordered this before reading comments. Then I read the 1/2 star comments and almost cancelled the order; they said it was much smaller than they expected and toy like. I didn't cancel and found it larger than I expected and not as flimsy as suggested. It may not be as solid and professional as a $300 dollar wheel but it doesn't cost $300 either. The suckers on the bottom are fine on a reasonable surface. I put it down while I did something else and couldn't pick it up again. The pedals are a bit close together and could use firmer springs but they aren't bad at all. The only real problems I had with this were my abilities; I still veer back and forth across the road like a drunk driver as I do with my twin stick controller, but that's me and not the wheel and I'm sure with practice I'll improve; the wheel does feel better than the sticks. I'm not an eSports pro nor a Twitcher - strictly an occasional amateur - so I can find no justification for spending $200 to $300 for a wheel. It worked first time with my favourite Need for Speed (Payback; I know, I know, but I like it :-). Excellent!

Pedal stopped working correctly
My son loves this item. However the pedals stopped working within a few days of using. Had to send it back and get a refund. I did purchase another one with the refund. Fingers crossed this one has no issues.

Excellent product, excellent price
Bought for an 8 year old for christmas, slight panic christmas day as we struggled setting it up on her xbox, but a YouTube video soon sorted that problem.She dosnt have a stand for the wheel but due to size and shape this hasnt been a problem, the wheel sits comfortably on her knee while sitting on her gaming chair easily using the provided pedals.Excellent price, good quality and great fun, at least for the younger gamers.Works with forza horizon 3 and other racing games.Would definitely recommend, 5 stars.

FOR THE PRICE, it's not too bad
Keeping in mind the price compared to many other wheels, this really is not too bad.Just make sure to change your settings in game to "using a controller" as this is what the wheel registers as.It has two wires, the suction kinda sucks if you're on the wrong surface, but then again, suction always sucks. The wheel turns only 90 degrees each way. Pedals are quite close together.But, if you want a cheap wheel, which does the job and is much more fun than using a controller, this is perfect.

Not too bad..
For what it is, it's not bad. It's basically the guts of a controller with a wheel attached to it. The suction cups on the bottom will NOT attach to your lovely wooden kitchen table, you will need an absolutely flat non-porous surface. I had to use a glass chopping board. Once its on that though it doesn't move. The paddles feel flimsy, so I'm extra careful with them. The pedals are a nightmare. They're way too small, way too close together and slide across the floor away from your feet as they're so light. I've gone and purchased a G920 now, but this is definitely a decent wheel for anyone strapped for cash or just wanting to try out a wheel on a PC.

Great budget racing wheel
I'm surprised by this, I thought it was going to be a bad device. It is great, works without any messing about with any real settings, plug and play with most games.Pros- Works on many devices, PC, Xbox One and Switch tested fine.- Flappy padel gearbox, works great, right size padels.- Lots of standard buttons on the wheel, makes it easier for menu navigation in games and to assign custom control.Cons- For me, this is my first racing wheel and it seems a little small, I am not sure if all wheels are the same, but for me it could do with being bigger.- Too sensitive. Even after going through the manual and apparently changing the settings, it is still too much, even changing game sensitivity. An issue with this sensitivity option change is the red LED stays on when the green LED is on, so you can barely see the flashing to tell what sensitivity you selected.- No vibration feedback on PCOverall a great device but needs some tweaks for me personally. I noticed another wheel by these guys with a proper shifter but cannot see it in stock anywhere :(
