The most realistic racing wheel available for the Xbox 360. Wrap your hands around the rubber-grip wheel, extend the retractable leg supports, drop your foot onto the pedal and hang on. Vibration feedback adds to the realism. With ten analog action buttons, you can take the MC2 to Talladega, Le Mans and a no-holds-barred desert rally, all in the same afternoon. Officially licensed for Xbox 360.

Racing Wheel
I can not review this item because i have not received it yet. It was ordered in the beginning of May and it is the middle of July.
The MC2 Racing Wheel by Mad Catz for the XBOX 360 does have pedals. I’m not sure what the previous reviewer was playing on. But, you’ll see in the picture that there are pedals. The pedals are removable, so maybe his cousin didn’t have them plugged in. For the price, this wheel is the best on the market. There are better wheels out there, if you’re willing to shell out the cash. But for the price, this one can’t be beat. You will be pleased with this wheel. PGR3 doesn’t allow much customization for the MC2 wheel, such as dead zones and sensitivity. But that’s more the fault of the game and not the wheel. I’m sure future driving/racing games will allow more customization for this wheel. The problem was PGR3 came out before this wheel was on the market. However, it still works well overall. It may take a little getting used to. The quality of the unit is great. It is comfortable with no-slip soft rubber on the wheel. My previous Mad Catz wheel for my 1st gen xbox still works great after years of use. I’m sure I’ll get the same life from this new version. The wheel’s resistance feels natural and the vibration feedback adds to the realism in games. The pedals and shifter work well too. I’ve seen the wheel as cheap as $59.99 in adds. It just can’t be beat.
i will make this short. The wheel works with most of the games, but no project gotham racing. The speedometer is fake, but you have a functioning shifter, with pedals. the steering isnt as good as normal controller, but its worth the fun. it can cling to a table, or it has a leg holder so you can keep it on your lap.PARENTS, GREAT GIFT FOR YOUR KID!

Was apprehensive about purchasing this over the internet but was pleasently surprised. My little boy spends countless hours playing with this, it is durable, fun, and easy to use.
I’ve had two of these wheels and both had the same problem — the communicator connection was bad. In races on PGR3, I would get complaints about feedback and a bad connection all the time. So I stopped using the communicator when I raced, which hurt the fun of the game. The wheel itself is fine and I actually prefer it to the MS wheel, which was nearly 3 times as expensive. But the communicator problem is serious, and I’ve heard other owners of the Mad Catz wheel complain about the same problem. I haven’t used this wheel in six months and I’m hoping Mad Catz got enough complaints that they finally did something to correct it. Too bad

I LOVE the IDEA
I love racing games and have played for years using standard controllers. I decided to try a sterring wheel and determine if it would be worth the trouble.
