As far as i know.....I don't think there is a wheel for the 360 that has a gear stick????
But i'm looking now...

some people might say Logitech G25 Racing Wheel. but it doesn't work with the 360.

Diesel got one a couple of weeks back. not sure if it came with a gear leaver or the flappy paddle gears tho.

*EDIT*
speak of the sexy devil

Yeah the G25 is only for the PS3.
I got this one....LOGITECH DRIVE FX AXIAL FEEDBACK WHEEL - Misco.co.uk
And it is bloody good. Better than the M$ one...........So i've heard.

And no where near the price.

It doesn't have a gear stick, but it has two buttons on the back of the wheel you can have as gear shifters. Like flappy paddle.

The M$ wheel doesn't have a gear stick either btw.

EDIT: Nope, just found out, you cannot get a steering wheel for the 360 that has a gear stick. No one makes one.

Thank ya darlins

It sucks a bit that nobody has tried to enter the market with a really high tech pro steering wheel, especially considering that right now the 360 has by far and away the best racing games

I think i might wait for the Porche version thats coming with Forza 3 but for £20 that Logitech one seems great.

Well i don't know how much the Porsche one will be in the UK. But they said it will be around $300-$400 in the US.

So if you can afford it.....Go for it.
That logitech one i bought was ok for games like PGR4. But it was only when i played it with Forza 2 that it came to life....

Even as the revs rise to the red line, you can feel it rumbling harder until it changes gear. Then it gives a wee jolt.
It's little things like that, that make it good imo.
The force feedback is also very good, lets just say this...At times, you cannot drive with one hand.

Its already out mate, it costs 190 Euro for the wheel alone and fuck knows how much extra for the pedals and 6 speed sequential gear shifter...

I am defo going to get the Logitech one, but i am trying to find a seat first, how have you got your one set up?
