(More customer reviews)I've been searching for a steering wheel with pedals and a supporting beam, but for kids as young as 4 year old and 36 inches tall. There are plastic wheels securing steering column to small base to put between kids thighs for Wii (controller insert type), but non for PS3. Also I didn't want to build a frame for my kids that will grow out of it in matter of months. So I kept searching for many months, until I found this set.
I was very happy that with steering wheel column in most compact mode. My youngest boy (about 3 feet tall) can sit on a kids chair, with hands on the wheel and feet on both pedals! So cute seeing this is possible! And this set will even allow someone over 6 feet as well.
The whole unit looks pretty robust, which appears to be mostly metal for the steering column and the base. This is also why it's kinda of heavy (which is actually good). It is a beautiful set.
The wireless is nice and portability is an extra benefit to take to relatives house. there is no force feedback as this is run on batteries - not important for me as this was for my younger kids.
The next most important thing is game compatibility. The buttons and pedals do map to controllers (not custom steering wheels). Standard mapping fit in some common games like GT5 Prologue, GRiD, NFS variations. Some games have button remapping support, so these games can work with this steering wheel/pedal set. But simple/kids games like Cars Race O Roma don't have in game mapping function, so I used the mapping function on the steering wheel itself to map accelerator and brake/reverse to the pedals. I sent questions to support (in Europe) and got response back within few days for mapping to different games.
Buttons on the steering wheel can be mapped to other buttons on the wheel and to the pedals. But pedals cannot map to the buttons! This hurts some of the preset functions mapped to L3/R3 (pedals) that need to remap to other buttons, before remapping buttons to pedals.
I give it 4 stars because it's the only set out there that my younger kids can use for PS3 games. But if this game is for an adult, I would give it 2 stars because all the mapping challenges. If you are a serious gamer and need force feedback, look for a wired model.
