Good steering wheel - question life

Positives:
+ Good grip
+ Many keys
+ Logitech software to adjust is very good
+ Automatic calibration when inserted into the USB port (arises center)
+ Pedals have a good anti-skid brakes for carpets
+ Two well-functioning, fixed screw terminals for mounting on tables or ironing boards!
+ USB cable for PC-use 2.8m long enough (for TV + PS3 probably not - USB extension buy)

Negatives:
- Measly shift paddles
- Servomotors audibly (if the racing game is silent)
- Not good slip resistance on smooth floors (4 rubber nubs that want to be always well cleaned)

I use the machine for the following games on the PC under Windows 7:
* GTR2
* F1 2010
* Dirt
All these games are running as it should be. It's fun, because a simulated vehicle can be much stronger moves to the limit, as when you move your joypad or even keyboard. Something like countersteering when breaking out of the stern is impossible without the steering wheel in my opinion. The shocks when driving over the curbs are preset almost too much but that you can turn down everything.

Since I do not play Grand Tourismo and prefer switch with shift paddles, this small lever on the right is superfluous for me. The control of the braking ratio depending on the curve by the driver (as in the real Formula 1) is not supported by any known to me play. Because the thing would still possibly useful but this ominous F1 lever like yes in reality more like a handbrake)

While it is somewhat speculative but:
The servo motors inside that are quite loud, to hear exactly on the way with my old Logitech Formula Force EX. Even the Force Feedback feels exactly on the same way. One can assume quite possible that this is hardly changed technology from the predecessor model. However, this has cost me anno 2008 MediaMarkt only 75.

Now the hook is: The inner workings of the OLD LOGITECH Formula Force EX steering wheel has kept decently only about 2 years with me. When used in an estimated 15 days a year. Then the servo motors and the mechanics were pretty over. You could still play but it was no longer a pleasure. The steering wheel was thereby often wrong, because it was almost "jumped" a bit. The Force Feedback "snapped increasingly about" when you held the steering wheel more. The new purchase had to be, because now in the short term a sporadic "non steering" occurred.

Thus, it keeps longer this time, I have a precaution turned down the Force Feedback Strength to 70 percent. I'm curious, because by the larger compared steering wheel, the corresponding forces are on the mechanics now even bigger than the old model.

Well 300 for a real top model, like the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel is Me meinr frequency of use then too much. I sincerely hope that the saying "Who buys cheap, buys twice" is not true this time. As low 139 but then not.

UPDATE 17/02/2015: The steering wheel has to this day, held at the frequency of use described above. Now give 5 stars. With me no more concerns about the durability.
