Digital camera reviews of Logitech MOMO Force Feedback Racing WheelDigital camera Review: 1 clamp in center system doesnt hold-plastic screw breaks Summary: 1 Stars
I had the old red wingman formula force for 5+ years and it was great. never a lick of a problem in any way.
Ive looked at this momo for a long time thought it looked cool, was logitech and got one.
a disaster from the start. this thing is a testament to
" how cheap can we make this and get away with it" mentality.
first you MUST remove your keyboard tray. noway around that.
it has a single cheap plastic screw clamp in the center with no handle on it like the dual clamps with knobs of the formula force.
so after removing your keyboard tray and all that, go get a wrech to tighten this thing. you can never get it tight enough for it to not slip around on the desk, thats what happens because a single weak cheap center clamp creates a pivot point for the wheel unit.
it sits too high on the desk. the top of the wheel was just under my chin. I had to raise my monitor up almost 6 inches then the whole setup is weird, not a natural driving position.
the pedal base is cheap and lightweight, and pedals stiff.
it raises up under your heel when using the pedals, if you brake hard, the whole base picks up in the back and spins to the left because the pedal is on the left side of it.
it slides away from you even on good carpet if you even bump it with your foot. its terrible. I had to double-sided sticky tape it to my carperting and now cant move it. those little spikes on the front do nothing and pick up if you step on the front of the base and it slides away.
The wheels grinds and is stiff. if you turn left/right fast it resists and makes a 'whirring' bearing sound.
the plugs are both on the front and hit your monitor stand. you cannot disconnect one plug like the old red wheel and put it away, it always has that cord pernmanantly attached and makes it a hassle.
I broke the cheapo plastic screw clamp tightening it after only 3-4 remove/installs to the desk. less than two weeks.
its a pointed plastic screw with no knob for tightening. you cant get it tight by hand and i figured since they put a wrench hexagon shape to it, you are supposed to use a wrench so i did,
well its such cheap plastic and you have to get it so tight to prevent movement the wrench end broke off. now its stuck on my desk and im wondering if amazon will give me a refund broke.
Logitech tells me to order/buy another plastic screw.
and they admit the design is flawed. got to Logitech and read some of the many many horrid letters I and others have written concerning this wheel. I should have. Thats why the price has dropped so much here, but theyre still 100+ in stores.
My highest recommendation to NOT BUY this product. I was their biggest fan believe me with my old red formula force, but this thing is junk. total junk not worth 5 bucks. youll be replacing clamp screws bi-weekly or more. Logitech admits its a bad design but does nothing except sell you more plastic clamp screws! lol.
and it grinds , its stiff, the base slips, you have to remove keyboard tray....just take a pass on this one, Im sending it back and buying a microsoft wheel locally.
I saw the old red formula forces for sale here- well worth the price those things are the best, this momo thing is the worst.
