    The Information:
    * Ultraprecise optical sensor tracks the wheel constantly so your movements show up in the game with no dead zone or lag
    * RPM and shift indicator LEDs help you know when to shift gears for maximum torque in supported games
    * Retractable teeth flip down to prevent the pedals from sliding on carpeting, and the wheel console, pedals and shifter module can be bolted to a table or other surface for steady racing
    * 900-degree wheel rotation allows the wheel to turn 2.5 times around lock-to-lock, similar to a real steering wheel
    * Six-speed shifter with push-down reverse gear makes it simple to choose the right gear
    * Sturdy steel gas, brake and clutch pedals provide precise throttle, braking and shifting control
    * 11" wheel features a leather-wrapped rim for enhanced realism
    * Two sets of solid steel ball bearings support the wheel shaft to enhance performance and reliability
    * Includes racing wheel, gas, brake and clutch pedals, shifter module, power supply, software CD-ROM and user documentation
    * Dual-motor force feedback mechanism with helical gearing provides quiet steering action while accurately mimicking traction loss, weight shift and road feel

    That is an awesome deal but I still can't pull myself to buy one. Anyone who buys one needs to have an area to mount it or you'll have to make something to mount the wheel to or you'll have to buy a racing sim chair to mount the wheel too, that's an extra $150-$300.

    amazing deal. but yea, the inability to use without purchasing another $150 device stand is a big deal. hidden cost people might not see coming.

    I'd order if I didn't have to shut down my CC due to online fraud. It'll be a few more days before i get it back. if this deal is still alive then, I'll decide it was destined for me to have. If not, oh well. lol
