The Best Racing Wheel For The Price
4 out of 5 stars
The Best Racing Wheel For The Price
The Best Racing Wheel For The PriceIn this price point or lower, you may find racing wheels that have force feedback, however they’ll be from brands that aren’t common for the average buyer. They’ll also have smaller steering wheels than this one, and thier websites most likely won’t have current Windows 10 drivers.If you use the Red Legend Steering Wheel on Windows 10, the first thing you should do is go to the Thrustmaster website, and download the appropriate Windows 10 drivers. Then to click the switch on the Wheel to PC mode. The online manual from the Thrustmaster website will help you adjust the wheel sensitivity for either hard or soft steering. These settings help quite a lot depending on the game. I leave the wheel on it’s default settings. If you change the wheel sensitivity, you have to do it each time you turn off your PC and start again. If you leave your wheel plugged in and only leave it on standby, then it’ll stay in whatever mode you left it in. This also applies to the custom brake and gas pedal settings as well.Now onto the product itself. The wheel may look like a toy, but the plastic they choose mimics the look and feel of leather relatively well. The plastic itself is a decent quality for the price and the rubber wheel grip feels excellent overall. The wheel isn’t too light, nor is it too heavy. Its weight is right in the middle, because at first glance, it looks like it should be heavier than it actually is. The wheel steering mechanism that returns the wheel to its default position, and offers steering resistance, is based on a bungee cord located separately on both the left, and the right turning positions. If you’re gentle with it, it should last a long time. I know people who’ve had this model for several years, and people who’ve had it break within two months. Now with that being said, the pedals feel very good as well. They’re made of a light, but sturdy plastic. If you’re not happy with the pedal setup, you can unscrew either one of the pedals, and you’ll find a long and short screw on each one. If you rotate the pedal and flip the screw orientation the way it’s shown in the online instruction manual, you’ll get different results for the pedal angle that may be better for you. The pedal base has several rubber feet on the bottom. On carpeted or smooth tiled surfaces, it slides very easily. On more solid wood surfaces, it grips into place surprisingly well. The pedals offer the right amount of resistance for games like Project Cars 1 and 2, where having the correct drivers installed allows for this exact controller to be detected properly. Doing the 3 step calibration for the wheel and pedals in the game’s options menu made the gameplay experience perfect for me.Now onto gameplay. The wheel doesn’t have force feedback, and it uses a bungee cord instead of a resistance motor like the more expensive racing wheels do. This is to be expected, so it’s not a knock against this wheel at all. To accommodate for the lack of rumble, I put my surround sound system’s bass on high, and increased the car sounds in each game, as well as the ambient sounds, then lowered the music and voices slightly. This caused a light rumble in the standing tray table I use to lock the steering wheel onto. It’s not perfect, but it worked well for me. In each game you play, you have to change the controls to the racing wheel. You’ll see it as an option if you installed the drivers properly.In the older game, Dirt 3 for PC, the presets for this wheel were flawless. Now in the newer Dirt Rally 2.0, you need to change the controller preference settings to enable the wheel, as with other titles. Unlike most recent titles though, you’ll actually have to set up each button and steering axis accordingly. For console emulators, you’ll have to change the input settings from X-Input, which is the setup for Xbox controllers, to D-Input, or direct input. Once you do that, you’ll have to increase the sensitivity of the Left Trigger and Right Trigger buttons because the defaults don’t have enough range for the beak and gas pedals on the Red Legend Racing Wheel foot pedals. You’ll have to do the same thing for the Left analog stick, which acts as your steering wheel, otherwise your in game turning radius will be off.This is basically everything as far as using the Red Legend Steering Wheel goes. I docked a point becuse this Wheel was updated for the Xbox one, with chrome shifting paddles and a slightly nicer visual presentation. The updated Xbox One only model still lacks force feedback and uses the same bungee cord resistance mechanism though. This product has been out for some time in the lower price point category. Having a slightly more expensive option with enhanced visual appeal and materials for a slightly higher price would be nice in the lower tier racing wheel PC market since the PS3 had effectively reached the end of its life cycle a long time ago. Having PS3 support is a nice plus, but this wheel doesn’t work on PS4 it X-Box One, so an updated PC version that mimics the Xbox One versions aesthetics would be ideal.

  • Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2017
    I've been using this for half a year now, and it works great with one minor issue. I mostly use it for Euro Truck Simulator 2, but have also tried it with a variety of racing games (Burnout Paradise, Flatout, GRID) although I don't play those as often. Worth noting: it is not useful for Grand Theft Auto V, which was not designed to work with a wheel - you're better off with keyboard and mouse in that one anyway.

    Generally speaking, the size is good, the feel is good, it's responsive, and it has just the right number of buttons in just the right places. For several times the price, you could get a different wheel with an extra clutch pedal and a stick shift if you need those, but you probably don't.

    The only problem that I've had with it is that the wire that connects the wheel to the pedals has a really cheap connector (the same as used by landline phones). When I first got it, the connector frequently slipped loose. You can't really tell when that happens except that in-game you suddenly find yourself driving around everywhere in first gear or something weird like that. I carefully bent the plastic prong on the connector out so that it would snap in and hold better and no more problems after that (so far so good). They really should have used a better connector there instead of skimping to save a few pennies on a $70 product. But when it is connected properly, it works great, and I haven't had a problem since I adjusted the connector.

    [Edit - I've been using this wheel for 2 years now, leaving the above intact and adding new thoughts below.]

    I never had another problem with that connector in a year and a half after posting that, so in retrospect it was a very minor issue and not at all a significant problem. I overstated it.

    **Pros**
    - Price. Most other wheels are much more expensive, and if like me, you'd never had one before, you might hesitate to buy one, when there's a chance that you'll soon lose interest after having only used it a few times. This one is a great introductory wheel at a good price. If you do lose interest, you're not out that much, and if not, you can upgrade later.
    - Feel. It feels good. The size is good and the rubber grips really help. You can nudge it, and it picks up your intent.
    - Buttons. The button placement is excellent, especially the two thumb buttons on each side of the wheel. The more expensive wheels don't even have that. I now have a more expensive wheel, which has more buttons, but I have to fumble to hit them. I really miss those two buttons on each side.

    **Cons**
    - Limited range of motion. If you're mostly playing racing games, this may not matter much, but if you're using it for something like Euro Truck Simulator or American Truck Simulator, the limited range of motion feels very very different from maneuvering a truck in a tight space where you would turn the wheel multiple times. It is significantly more difficult to do fine adjustments and maneuvers than with the much more expensive wheels. When you're out on the highway, it's not as noticeable, but it's still a little more difficult to do fine adjustments for lane-keeping.
    - Deadzone. When I first got the wheel, it had a small deadzone around the center. I was able to configure games such that it didn't really matter much. Over the course of a couple of years and a lot of use, however, the deadzone gradually expanded. Given the limited range of motion, having to eventually cut a sizable chunk out of it for deadzone wasn't good. But it took a couple of years of heavy use for it to become a noticeable problem for me.

    **Overall**
    Overall I'd say it was excellent and I enjoyed it and definitely got my money's worth. I have moved on to a different (more expensive) wheel now, but I would never have done that if I hadn't had this one first and loved it.

    Works as advertised. I'm not really a gamer, but I wanted to do some driving simulation with a wheel that didn't require me to sell a kidney.

    I only wish that you could detach the cable that runs between the pedals and the wheel. Since they're permanently connected, they're fairly awkward to store anywhere other than back in the box, and you can't run the cables through that hole in the top of your desk. Otherwise, no complaints.

    Well, I'll cut to the chase. This thing quite honestly let me down on most levels. Well, rather, it was the pedals that let me down more than anything. The wheel itself is great, it's responsive, it springs right back to center, the clamp that keeps it in place is fantastic, etc. However, the pedals are absolute garbage. Within two days of getting the wheel and pedals, the brake peddle completely broke on me. No matter how many times I attempt to calibrate it or get it working right, its almost constantly being activated, meaning it's unusable.

    I would probably not recommend this to anyone, I was highly disappointing by the sudden and abrupt breakage of the pedals under moderately light usage and in such a short period of time. It gets a solid 1/5 from me.

    Ha sido un regalo, pero está más que encantado. Costó pillarle el punto al volante, pero volvería a comprar.

    Using it for the past 5 days..all i can say is its absolutely phenomenal..for this price the experience it gives is simply mind blowing..
    Now for the pros and cons
    Pros:-
    1.build quality of steering is really good
    2.has rubber padding in the red area in steering which gives good grip
    3.attaches using a clamp(which is very easy to install)
    4.works nicely in most games
    5.the price
    6.and the brand(very good brand which is direct competitor of logitech in its flagship models)

    Cons:-
    1.The pedals are uncomfortably vertical if u use it right below the steering(i placed the pedals a bit further inside to make it a but comfortable)
    2.the steering rotates only about a little more than 90 degrees

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Starter Wheel
    Reviewed in Canada on October 12, 2017
    A great starter wheel for gamers looking to get the most out of their racing games, I use it on PC, and even modern games like Project Cars support it perfectly.

    Pros: Nice Wheel with a good size, comfortable grip, and perfectly placed buttons, the pedals are also very good, with the brake being up on a slightly higher angle and having more resistance, it has plenty of buttons to assign inputs to, so even games that require the use of headlights and windshield wipers for example can be binded to comfortable keys.

    Cons: No Force Feedback, after a bit you get used to it, but having Force Feedback can be a huge help in racing games.

    For the price this wheel delivers a lot, so I'll let the lack of Force Feedback Slide.
