Good but very fast defect.

Long wondered whether I should really trust Thrustmaster. Have I decided despite the pedals for this steering wheel. With the consideration the pedals might eventually switch times. Now get fast delivery, unpacked, connected and tested at the PS3 with Gt 6 and I was immediately surprised. Driving experience simply madness, the best I had so far in my hand and that was a lot. FFB is clear ne 1. Extremely Smooth and the pedals without being excited I clearly worse expected although there is, of course, there are other worlds better. In addition, I must say that it looks really good and the cooler does not bother you hear it only when absolute silence in the room is the play itself you do not hear him.

So now that is, the reason why there are only well-intentioned 3 stars.
The directional pad to about 5 times pressing defect. While it still works, but when you press the right extremely sluggish and no more clacking.
This was the first disillusionment, thought to myself now return immediately or first further testing is not quite so important.
So further tested and the enthusiasm was quickly back. Until it is on the 2nd day after about 2hrs. has switched play and no longer was concerned. In addition, it also has strong smell. Playstation on out, plug out pure, tried everything, nothing works.
Ok I have to send them back, briefly brought the box in the storage room and lo and behold it just about 15min. later it is online again.

But the smell was still very strong and it really can not be so now everything.
Have it sent back now and hope that it was only ne exception.
Until Project Cars is indeed still a bit of time and for that it was intended.

If the replacement then this error has not there are 5 star and although one could deduct a point for the pedals but you have to say at 258 determines the value.

Conclusion: When the durability then quite true strong buy recommendation !!!
