Logitech Driving Force Pro
"The Logitech Driving Force Pro is the world's first force feedback steering wheel that mimics the dynamic turning radius of a real, performance-oriented streetcar. Previously, the degrees of rotation available in any gaming wheel were 300 degrees or less. When put into action, the Logitech Driving Force Pro engages its advanced rack and pinion steering system and seamlessly turns a full 900 degrees (2.5 turns, lock-to-lock) in games that support this feature. With this unprecedented steering system, the Logitech Driving Force Pro duplicates the true-to-life steering dynamics of today's racecars -- something that has never been seen before in a wheel for home use. Typical arcade racing systems that cost thousands of dollars offer infinite wheel rotation -- and are neither realistic nor beneficial to the gamer." Click here for more information.
