Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel for Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One

This is possibly the very best accessory I have bought ever. I thought I was going to be disappointed by the lack of Force Feedback but it really isn't something I miss at all. The resistance band on the pedals is incredibly effective and the action of the wheel is very responsive. The Manual and features: The manual is lacking as is the case so often these days. While it shows the dial for righthand side of the wheel it fails totally to explain what it is, why it's there, what it does. I've had the wheel several weeks now and apart from changing the camera settings on Forza I fail to see its purpose. It appears to be pretty much redundant which is a great pity. Tip 1 - The manual also fails spectacularly to explain that the "Engine Start" button doesn't start the engine (unless you have a game that will let you programme it" but is a multidirectional button that functions as the D-Pad from the X-Box controller. It isn't intuitive at all and I stumbled across it by accident. Pressing the edges of the button will move the cursor about for selections and so on. Tip 2- Having just said how bad the manual is my next tip is carefully read the section about the sensitivity setting adjustment. You will need to do this each time you plug the unit in which is one of the very few downsides I have found. Doing the sensitivity adjustment though will make a huge difference to performance. Each time you press the relevant buttons and pull on the two metal flappy paddles the light on the right of the wheel base will flash a number of times. The manual reveals how many for each level. I have found 3 flashes to be the best for Forza 6. The second downside of this pedal is the site of the light. It is just in the wrong place and is obscured by the wheel meaning you have to bend at an odd angle to see the number of flashes. You only need do it once per session though so it's not a major flaw by any means. The Quality: The quality of the unit is really very good indeed. It's particularly evident where the table locking bolt fits under the wheel. Normally this sort of fixing is flaky at best but on the Spyder 458 wheel is look less substantial than it actually is and I see no reason other than badly abusing it to cause this socket to fail. The table lock itself is a real plus and very easy to use. This is my second tip of sorts that you will need a table or solid surface to use this wheel. There is no way it could be used effectively without locking it down. but as I state above the mechanism is excellent. The Stand: This brings me to my last point and it is a really important one. To date Amazon continue to advertise " The Ultimate Steering Wheel Stand in Black - suitable for Logitech, Xbox, Madcatz and Thrustmaster " as being a perfect partner for this wheel. IT ABSOLUTELY ISN"T COMPATIBLE!!! I cannot emphasise this point enough. It will cause huge disappointment when after half an hour struggling to put it together you find that the locking mechanism for the pedals doesn't come anywhere close to fitting. The stand claims to be compatible with the Thrustmaster 458 wheel and maybe it is, but it most certainly isn't compatible with the 2015 release of this wheel set. The 458 Spyder has a different design for the pedals and the base is too large for the stand lock. I sent it back and did eventually get a refund but it took some time and they initially wanted me to do the running around posting the stand back to them. Being a wheelchair user and this being quite a heavy piece of kit there was no way I could have done it. They were happy to collect it though after asking but the point is that it shouldn't have happened in the first place.I have no idea why Amazon persist in advertising them together but I will say it again The Ultimate Steering Wheel Stand in Black - suitable for Logitech, Xbox, Madcatz and Thrustmaster WITH THE Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel (Xbox One) Instead I paid a bit more and got the " Wheel Stand Pro -Stand for Logitech wheels and Thrustmaster Ferrari F458 " which is far, far more effective and is far, far, far better built in my opinion. It is also far easier to collapse to store so do give it a look and save some more pennies to get the wheel and the stand together. I've given the wheel 5 stars because that setting is for "I Love It" and I do. However I would mark it down on the few points I mentioned above. They are mainly about the poor manual and as such can be overcome, but despite Mr Cameron thinking we are all rolling in cash these days I still think that £65 is a lot of money. For younger readers when you reach the age where you need to feed yourself and pay the bills you will appreciate the truth of what I say 😀. I just think at £65 which is already a reduced price, the manual ought to be right. It should be clear in all languages and should be checked for errors. With the internet giving unlimited access to the world pretty much, there is little reason that companies cannot get contacts in other countries to translate and check for errors. It's really not a big ask these days. Enough negativity though. I think I have kicked Amazon and Thrustmaster enough for shortcomings. In defence of both though Amazon delivered super quick and with a smile from the driver (always a plus to see happy people) and Thrustmaster have delivered a superb piece of kit in the form of the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel (Xbox One) . One very, very happy customer.

Firstly, there seem to be many negative reviews from people who were expecting this wheel to have force feedback / rumble. It doesn't claim to have, so you should only be surprised if you've not read about It before buying. The wheel and pedals are lightweight, but still well built and solid. It's not one to have on your lap, you need to clamp the wheel to a surface or table and the supplied clamp is well up to the job. The controller /button layout replicates that of the real Ferrari 458 wheel, so although not the same as many other wheels on the market it works fine once you remember where things are. I'm playing on forza 5 and have the sensitivity set to max, and it is responsive enough. Play with the in game settings to find the deadzone tolerances you prefer - the defaults are not great. It did auto detect straight away, but I went into the settings to reduce the max travel on the pedals as I think the full pedal travel is a bit too far. Now I have it setup as I like and it's working perfectly. The gear shift paddles are solid and quick to respond, and the elastic band system for wheel resistance works nicely. The only gripe I have is that the pedal bases lift up off the floor sometimes when pushing the pedals down. This is annoying so I've had to strap it down onto the base I'm using. If you are putting it straight on the floor you could have a problem. The instructions also do not tell you how to change the physical pedal configuration. You can turn around each pedal head to give it a different angle of attack. To do this you have to unscrew 2 small screws. DO NOT use the supplied screwdriver head for this, its poor quality and rounds of the screwdriver and the screw head! Overall it's a great addition to add to the fun of playing. The only reason it's not 5 star is the price. For the same price, I was able to get a force feedback wheel for the xbox 360. It's very frustrating that with this generation of equipment you get less for the same price. Hopefully someone else will come into the market and shame the few suppliers who are currently milking the uncompetitive market.

Great item, kids love it. Easy to set up. Attaches securely to a small table, no issue with the the pedals slipping as feared. Worked on all the games we tried it on. Only complaint would be not being able to see the letters on the buttons to navigate through the onscreen menu’s but there locations will come with time. Definitely recommend, had alot of fun with it over the Christmas holidays.

This is a well made and robust item that my grandson saved his pocket money for. The the product instructions that come with it are pretty rubbish but we found a lot of help on youtube. (Even those can be unnecessarily complicated though). This is pretty much a plug and play item that an 11yr old and 8yr old soon got to grips with, navigating their own way through the controls and the game menus. If it is bought for somebody who has only just got their first console and is not fully familiar with the XBOX 1 controls it would be more complicated to navigate around game menus to begin with but, for some who has been using one for a while, it is a breeze.

While the Thrustmaster Steering wheel is one of the better ones I have tried, it is either poorly made or very fragile. I've had two now. The first broke after two weeks of reasonably light use and no abuse whatsoever; I'd even forked out for a folding stand to make sure the steering wheel was not unduly stressed. The fault was with the wheel only. All of the buttons and the pedals worked exactly as they should. Amazon swapped this one out quickly but the replacement has lasted only 3 months and now the wheel does not function properly when turning right. Everything else is ok. Now, however, I can't return the item for repair or exchange. Nor can I get in touch with the seller because (and maybe this is me) I can't find any method of contacting them! Very disappointing because when it's working, it's very good.

Worked well for a year then starts glitching ever since

steering wheel was good at first but then i found out why it had such a short warranty. Steering wheel is now unusable because the car doesn't go in the direction i want it to. I looked after the item as well e.g. it never got bashed, the cables were never stretched or put in any awkward positions. Plus the product itself is just a bit of a rip off considering it just barely gives a realistic driving experience. for instance i bought the bog standard xbox steering wheel for the 360 and not only was it tough and durable but it gave force feedback, changed resistance depending on the car and you didn't need a stand for it. this steering wheel will go on your lap but it makes it some what awkward to use. Considering this is meant for NEXT GEN consoles you'd expect the steering wheel to at least be a bit better than the old one for old generation consoles.

The Thrustmaster 458 Spider arrived within 48hrs. I have to admit, for the price, it was worth every penny. I connected it to my xbox one & tried it with Forza Horizon 2 and Forza Motorsport 6. It worked flawlessly. The build quality is excellent. The clamp is adequate. The only caveat I have is that the pedals are really quite firm to push. Within a few minutes of using them my right thigh felt like it had had a good workout. Another issue is that due to the firmness of the pedals when depressed fully, it tends to make the base raise & tip forward. It also tends to slip on the carpet. My son has size eleven feet & the base is just comfortably large enough for him. The one saving grace is that there are 2 bolt holes under the base allowing for it the be secured to a larger base. We're it not for the pedal problem I would have given 5 stars.

Excelente calidad muy buen producto!

- Les bon cotés du volant : le produit est excellant , le volant est agréable avec une bonne prise en main , les pédales sont bien , elles ont l'air résistante malgré qu'elle glissent un peu ! Au niveau des touches rien à dire , les palettes pareil , il-y-à plusieurs sensibilités pour tout type de jeu ! - Les mauvais cotés ( cela me concerne ) : Pour ma part le volant n'étais pas très réactif avec la sensibilité normal , je l'ai descendu mais là sur les virages secs ! la voiture ne se tournait vraiment pas assez , ensuit les pédales ne se connectaient pas très bien il fallait que je branche et que débranche puis que je rebranche pour que tout soit opérationnel ! Dés petit problème un peu chiant mais réparable ! Je suis tombė sur un produit défectueux mais le produit vaut largement le coût donc je vous le conseil.

Ottima qualità e perfetto per giochi di simulazione,👍👍👍

X BOX ONEのレースゲームをプレイする為購入しました。 ハンドル…見た目の美しいだけではなくハンドルが握りやすい形状で気に入っています ボタン…ほとんどの操作がレーシングホイールのみで行えるのでゲームに集中でき、満足しています。 まとめると 見た目は写真そのままで使いやすいが値段相応の安さは滲み出ている。 ドライビング操作はステアリングは片方120度でゲームを楽しむことはできるしペダルも重く踏みごたえがあるが勿論FFBはない (PS対応のハンコンで言うとT80ステアリングで、ステアリング径だけがDFGTくらいに大きくなった感じ。実車ほどではないがそこそこにハンドルが大きいのでそこまで不満が出ないとは思うがFFBがない物足りなさはある) ある程度しっかりとはしているが、それは値段相応の話なので質感や操作感を期待してはいけない。 詳しく書きます… ゲーム内で(Forza Horizon 3)運転してみると、舵角はやはり240度まで(左右120度まで)。アーケードのレースゲームなどをプレイしている方には馴染み深い(？)かと思います。ハンドルを持ち替える機会はありませんが、ゲーム自体は不満なく行えるはずです。このレーシングホイールはフォースフィードバック(FFB)がついていないのでゲーム内で段差に乗り上げようが雨の日にタイヤがスリップしようがハンドルに振動などが伝わることはありません。ハンドルを切り、手を離すとハンドルが元の位置に戻る、というシンプルなものとなっています。もちろんその分FFB付きと違いモーター音がないのでハンドル操作に関しては静かにプレイできます。音が出るのはシフト操作です。触るとしっかり作られていて驚きましたが、しっかり作られているが故操作時に「カチッ」という音がそこそこ大きくします。一人暮らしならば問題ないとは思いますが… (一応ハンドルの裏、パドルシフトの近くに左右それぞれボタンがあり、それでシフト操作ができるのでゲームプレイに支障は出ないはずです。むしろボタン操作の方が運転しやすいかもしれません笑) ペダルは重く踏んでいて操作に関して不満はありません。ただ重い分踏む時に力がいるのと(慣れればなんてことありませんが)、そのためある程度しっかりとペダル位置を固定しないと踏む度にペダル位置がズレてゲームを十分に楽しめません(ハンドル部分と違いペダル部分はグリップこそあれ固定するための部品がありません)。 全体的に 美しく作られたフェラーリのハンドルでゲームができるという点は、ゲームを楽しむ上で重要な部分だと思いますし、Thrustmaster製品ということもあり全体的にある程度、値段相応にはしっかりしているので(とはいえ舵角の120度まで「ガンッ」と力一杯切ったりするのはいけないことですが)「これからハンドルコントローラでゲームを始めたい」という方や、この製品より低い価格帯のハンドルコントローラを持っていて、「それが壊れてしまった」「ステップアップしたい」という方には合っていると思います。一方、「以前FFB付きのハンコンを使っていた」という方にとっては物足りないかもしれません。勿論製品の説明にも書かれてあるので「舵角の小ささやFFB無しってことは理解している」という方が購入を検討しているのでしょうが、それでも購入してプレイした時に悲しさに似たようなものを覚えてしまう時はやはりあります。確かに慣れてしまえば騒音の心配がなかったり電気代もかからないのでFFB無しの良さには気付けるのですが、ですが！、「今までのFFB付きと同じ価格帯でFFB付きのヤツがないからとりあえずこれで」という気持ちで買ってしまうとあまり良い結果を招かないかもしれませんのでお気をつけください。 追記 2018 6/1 ステアリングのみが応答しなくなりました。ボタンは使えます。この時点でプレイ時間は約700時間。保証期間内であったため6/5に交換のため発送し、手元に新品が戻ってきたのが6/26でした。 しかしこれもまたボタンが正常に動作しないなどの不具合がありました。

والله ممتاز اشتغل على اكس بوكس سيريس s وعطوني معه قيم باس تركيب سهل كوالتي جيده
