Misserable quality at a totally excessive price!

I had bought after a lot of thinking this steering wheel. Reason was that my now 11 year old Logitech Wingman Formula Force USB Red was no longer recognized on computers with Windows 7. Logitech has also officially confirmed that there will be no more drivers for it.
So I became aware after a few test reports on the RGT Force Feedback Clutch Racing Wheel by Thrustmaster.
I had the features almost too much but it offered you never know what you then want to use all of it. So trying out a few buttons too much than too little.
After the package as always with Amazon the next day arrived at my course, I have unpacked it directly with excitement. What then, however, came to meet, I felt anything but positive.
Already when opening the package I noticed the hole in the steering wheel, which was apparently in that the cover during transport has just passed times. Here one could see only still the unclean edges of the hot glue gun.

So I would, however, still be able to live, so I nevertheless once mounted the steering wheel to the table.
This demonstrated that, already in other reviews mentioned, poor fixing with one screw in conjunction with a work based on leverage clamping system. If one has to overcome the part so tightly tuned close that it does not move you are first relieved.

Then it went to the wiring. Were installed Ethernet-like plug, which did not particularly stable impression by the thread-like thin cable. But so often does not build the part is yes, and off you so just tried it out.

After a simple installation and setup, I realized that you can never use all functions of the steering wheel at the same time. For example, the analog paddle around only available if you dispense with the clutch and different.
Then First and foremost I wanted to try it as it lets you play with the clutch so. Live for Speed ​​started and reassigned the control in the options. Impeccable!
Set off, choked ;-)
Here I was then pointed out that the clutch does not "simulated" bite-point, but is consistently the same suspension. Is it possible in an emergency even live with that but then I realized the second attempt that the pedals are sooo steep that at gleichzeitem gas and clutch also press it all the base tilts forward.

That was almost the death of the steering wheel. Already after a few meters then I noticed the rest of the poor workmanship of the steering wheel.
It feels all well and makes this area a fairly sophisticated look, but it has a big game so if you take so works that it just is not fun to play with. It can be bent and tugging that I always had the same fear to hold the steering wheel in his hand. Unfortunately here no comparison to my 11! Years old Logitech.

In the end I have returned the good piece, of course, Amazon typically get the money immediately and bought the Logitech Driving Force GT. Although not quite as many buttons but a much nicer Force Feedback, 900 ° steering angle and no clutch that was almost useless anyway :)

Of course, this only reflects my own opinion again, I have indeed a work colleague who can recommend the part fully each. Here perhaps are simply the claims somewhat different interpretation.
