The wheel doesn't just try to resist your inputs rather, it takes on the physical loads present in a heavy race car hurtling down a track. It's really an entirely different experience than playing with a keyboard or gamepad. If you've never used a premium force-feedback wheel with a game that has proper support, you're seriously missing out. The real beauty of Logitech's MOMO wheel is the way it manages force feedback.

Logitech also bundles a software suite that auto detects installed driving games and allows a user to superimpose button layouts upon them, saving a lot of unnecessary configuration hassle. Not too many other manufactures make use of the carpet teeth, which is a shame, as they make a world of difference over simple rubber feet if you are playing on a carpet. The base itself has rubber feet for hard floors as well as a bar of small teeth that can be flipped down to dig into carpet. The plastic pedals are mounted on a large plastic base, and have a good degree of spring loaded resistance. The MOMO wheel also uses a three point mounting system, an improvement over the Driving Force Pro's two, which makes even difficult mounting positions (like desks that curve down at the edge) readily usable. A Tiptronics style shift knob is also present, and, unlike most other wheels, can be mounted on the left or right side, incase you are a lefty or a real stickler for realism when you are simulating a JDM car. The paddle shifters are large and mounted on the stalk of the wheel, a major improvement over the Driving Force Pro's tiny tabs.
The wheel is also quite thick, a major sticking point for real race car drivers, which makes it feel quite significant in hand. The entire perimeter is wrapped in a very grippy leather-textured rubber that seems to exert an almost magnetic attraction to one's hands. In use, the MOMO feels like it could have been torn right out of an open-wheeled racer. Though the Logitech MOMO doesn't have the LCD and traction control switches Michael Schumacher manipulates so well, the wheel is otherwise quite similar to what you've seen in his cockpit, with bright red buttons and characteristic non-circular lower portion of the wheel. While the internals are all Logitech, the wheel design itself was licensed from MOMO, the auto-racing development house that developed the now iconic Ferrari F1 steering wheel design.

The MOMO Racing Force Feedback Wheel is Logitech's newest PC-only offering, and is built upon the same foundation of technology that made the Driving Force Pro such a sweet addition to GT4.
