cheapest wheel with FFB I'm guessing its Logitech MOMO if u can find a seller, then it's the Logitech DFP (also only available if u can find second hand), otherwise if u want new I think there's Logitech DFGT, Thrustmaster RGT,  Atomic Lamborghini Gallardo or Thrustmaster Ferrari F430

how much is it? my budget is <RM500. i wonder if i buy <RM500, the equipment will be durable or not?

here's my personal review of the wheel, http://han-liang.blogspot.com/2011/03/logi...t-personal.html

and here's SRT's review of the wheel



and in case you haven't watch this, here's the wheel buyers guide for PC and PS3

Very good. But i still confuse on the pricing. how much actually cost to all of them actually based on RM. I prefer buy from the store or shop, because when whole equipment got problem, i can directly to the store or shop. I know if i buy it from online maybe cheapest. what do you think?

If i want to buy from the store or shop, do you have any link?

shirley_andy,
I just want to confirm DFP is the old version of DFGT and it has silver colour circle on the middle. DFGT is have red button on the wheel.

I call salesperson of digital mall all IT. he say DFGT is suitable for PS3. They sell the DFP at RM319.

Are you still using the DFP? Shd i buy the old version?

yes DFP is the older version of DFGT and has silver lining on the middle..

well when I review the DFGT, I compare it alot with my previous wheel, the DFP which I've used for quite a long time.. and if u read it I did mention the vast difference between the 2 wheels altho they look almost similar. DFGT is suitable for PS3 and ALSO for PC..

I will personally advice u to get the DFGT instead of DFP if the DFP price is RM319..

i call logitech in midvalley, they say MOMO and DFP is stop manufactured already. they sell DFGT is RM499.

compare to a shop (PS-ZONE.com), they sell DFGT is RM420, but PS-ZONE.com say they dont give any warranty for DFGT, ask me send to midvalley. Then i call midvalley, they say if you buy from other shop, you have to send your DFGT to singapore yourself. rclxub.gif

I call modernoPC.com, they also no stock for MOMO and DFP, they sell DFGT is RM469.

My question is why the logitech buy the stock direct from logitech manufacturer, sell higher than all the shop?

ModernoPC.com buy from distributors which are on many hand and sell lower price, somemore give warranty, are they repair it by theirown or send it to singapore?

from this video, the 5 in 1 wheel is really VERY small... feels like a toy...
reading some of the comments from some utube videos on the 5 in 1 wheel, I'd say don't buy it. The pedals are very small, that big guy in the video could step on both pedals with just 1 foot..

anyway personally I don't really believe in saving money and getting cheap wheels anymore, been there, done that. When I 1st shop for a wheel, I was being cheapskate and opted for an old and not so popular wheel(Logicool GT Force) just because its cheap, was disappointed with what I got, and it got replaced just after a month or two.. After that I only opted for popular wheels which I can see many people using and many people reviewing it(MOMO, DFP, DFGT etc.), and it never went wrong after that.

the Ferrari GT Experience Racing Wheel would be a more decent wheel to consider buying,
however the cons is its a 180 degree lock to lock rotation, I feel thats a too little, a 240/270 degree rotation would be much better.

I want to buy MOMO and DFP, but now the market hard find those product. Somemore I prefer deal with someone who have shop or office in selangor, so that i can send it to them for warranty in future.
