View side. View back. |  | The Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel for the Wii features: - One-piece wireless design.
- Adjustable lap rest for table free comfort.
- Built-in gas and brake controls.
- Force feedback recreates bumps, crashes, and more.
|  | | A Great Combination
Part of the world's most popular racing franchise, Need for Speed: Undercover brings you break-neck cop chases and spectacular highway battles in a world of high-stakes and high-speed action with some of the world’s hottest cars. The all-new Heroic Driving Engine propels the action forward as players experience the dramatic story through spectacular Hollywood-style live-action in-game movies. And what better way to experience all the action than with the full featured Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel. While Logitech has been a leader in the force-feedback industry since 1998, this is the first force feedback wheel for the Wii and paves the way for more exciting new racing titles on the Wii console. High Performance with Comfort and Convenience
The Logitech's Speed Force Wireless Wheel is easy to set up and store and features a one-piece design that is convenient to use in any position. The gas and brake controls are built into the wheel itself, while the lap rest is both adjustable and expandable, making it comfortable even without a table or desk. Minimizing clutter by eliminating the console cable, Logitech's 2.4 GHz wireless technology lets you enjoy lag-free racing from up to 30 feet away. And all this comes with the intuitive Wii controls that make navigating game menus a breeze. Standard controllers don't let you feel what you are doing, while vibration feedback and rumble technology just shake the controller. The force feedback system in the Wii Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel simulates directionally precise, tactile feedback so users feel the steering wheel move as it would when subjected to actual external forces. And with no mounting or assembly required, all you have to do to start racing is connect the USB receiver to your Wii console, plug in the wheel's power cord, get comfortable and let the race begin.
What's in the Box:
The Wii Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel, 2.4 GHz USB mini-receiver, AC power supply with a 12-foot cord, Quick-start guide, one-year limited hardware warranty.

 Lack of Game support June 24, 2010
M. Vadkerti (Cypress, CA)
Pro:
As quality of this product goes, it's solid and great.
Con:
But I just don't understand why Logitech couldn't make this wheel simulate a regular Wii controller via Bluetooth. The regular Wii controller doesn't use the IR bar to control driving games and only Bluetooth communication is done between the Wii and the standard controller. Logitech should have taken this route to make this wheel compatible with all the games, old and new. But I guess the USB connection was needed for the more advanced features like the force-feedback and the analog pedals. Therefore Logitech should have incorporated both connections (USB and Bluetooth) into this wheel. The appropriate connection could have been automatically selected by the wheel whether the USB cable was plugged in or not. Although the idea is great, the execution is nothing short of a failure. Such a dual communication wheel may cost more to manufacture and the company may not make as much of a profit, but just look how much of a discount these duds are offered at; up to 90% off. Sad.
 Great Control not enough games May 21, 2010
Wayne E. Ridenhour Jr (Memphis TN)
This wii controller is far better for racing than just holding the wii controller in the air. The gas and brakes are analog (not just an on-off button). I use it with F1 2009, just wish it worked with other games like Mario Kart.
What's the procedure that works for you? April 20, 2010

I ordered but haven't recieved Speed Zone and Need for Speed Undercover yet.
Ferrari Challenge doesn't work for this Logitech wheel. What's the procedure that works for you?
 Hardly works with anything March 19, 2010

According to logitech's website it's designed to work EXCLUSIVELY with Need for Speed: Undercover. It DOES NOT WORK with most racing titles; Logitech's website even states: "Early Wii games, like Mario Kart and Excite Truck, were not programmed with this wheel in mind, and they will not see your Speed Force Wireless even if it is connected."
I bought this thing because my son likes mario kart and keeps wanting to use my xbox 360 racing wheel with it. Thought this might provide the best of both worlds. Boy was I wrong. That certified for Wii sticker really doesn't mean much I guess. My xbox wheel works with EVERY xbox racing game. Apparently my expectations are two high that a game controller should actually be universally compatible with the system it was designed for.
Best Wii steeering wheel available February 1, 2010
Rudie J. Allison (Fort Madison,Iowa USA)
For use on the Formula 1 2009 I think this is the best steering wheel available, It doesn't seem to work for the Indianapolis 500 though. The only way it could be improved is by putting the throttle and brake on foot pedals (maybe on the next version?). Over all, if you like the racing games this is a worthy investment to add realism and fun.
