From the time that I play all kinds of automobile simulation is a big fan of this type of play. There is a long time since I expected to be able to use a true mechanical box playing. Result, very happy! We believe in a real car. The hardening of the box is adjustable via a screw. It's beautiful. On GT5 is simply pure pleasure to drive with the box and the clutch. Dirt 3 on PC also works with the manual box but that's sport. I understand why the pilots now run sequentially. l The box is nice and sturdy, one can configure the PC handbrake. Terrible for the gymkhana! In short super happy with this purchase essential for me if you want to buy and fully enjoy the driving T500RS otherwise the clutch pedal does you no good.
