Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech MOMO Force Feedback Racing Wheel
Customer Review: Windows XP x64
Summary: 5 Stars
The CD that came with the Logitech MOMO Force Feedback Racing Wheel was not recognized by my Windows XP x64 system. I was able to download Logitech Gaming Software for the Windows XP x64 platform from the Logitech website.
At first I thought the force feedback wasn't working because of my system. I then had a lucky day with force feedback, then back to nothing. I replaced the wheel with a new wheel, and now the Logitech MOMO Force Feedback Racing Wheel works great AND has force feedback.
GT Legends works on Windows XP x64 systems, but GTR FIA GT Racing game will not. The soon to release GTR 2 (releasing summer of '06) will also run on 64-bit operating systems.
Customer Review: Great wheel, minor issues
Summary: 4 Stars
The wheel's FF and feel and overall quality are very good. It is extremely useful to have the option of paddle or stick shifter. I use my paddles to shift and the pull back on the shifter as the handbrake and push forward is clutch. I have also had the stick as shift and paddles as clutch and ebrake. Pedals and wheel are both very precise.
Of course, as with most people, I am having occasional trouble with the pedals. Mainly the brake 'sticking' on. This started after about 6months of heavy use and now at a year hasn't gotten much worse. Usually unplugging the pedals from the wheel and plugging it back in will fix the problem. We'll see if that will keep working.
Customer Review: Almost perfect replacement for a Sidewinder
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't know where to begin. The pedals stay in place, and I like the resistance on the brake pedal. Both the paddle and gear shifters are firm and well placed, and the mounting system holds the wheel in place firmly.
I really like the adjustable resistance of the centering mechanism. Microsoft's Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel had three settings, none of which felt quite right. I'm sure I will get used to the smaller buttons on the wheel, but that is about my only critique of the Logitech MOMO.
I will probably by a few more. At less than $100, this wheel is a fanastic value, especially when compared to the $250+ G27 that replaced it.
Customer Review: Works great.

When I first purchased the MOMO wheel from Amazon.com, the AC adapter was defective; screeching noise and caused problems using force feedback. However, I was able to use the wheel w/out the adapter. Don't even try to get help from Logitech for replacing the AC adapter (or any other component) without replacing everything. Logitech's customer support was poor.
However, Amazon.com gave outstanding support by sending me an entire new wheel w/ all accessories for no charge, then after receiving the new wheel, I returned the original one with the defective adapter. I didn't have to spend any time w/out a wheel. The new wheel (and adapter) works great!

I have now taken back 2 Logitech MOMO Driver steering wheels. Had to take the current one back this week as the left gear paddle ceased working.There is a major design flaw with the gear paddles and for this reason i believe Logitech should recall this product and fix this problem. An online team member also had the same problem with this wheel. One of his paddles stopped working after one week of use.
Everything else about this wheel is excellent and perhaps you will be fortunate and not have the problem i have had. Also if you drive Auto or are comfortable using the stick shifter this also negates the paddle vulnerability being an issue.
