Guide Review - Logitech Momo Racing Force Feedback Wheel

The Logitech Momo Racing (black) wheel is a revamped version their legendary Momo Force (red) wheel. They replaced some of the expensive metal parts with plastic and even made some improvements along the way such as increasing the pedal throw and adding a manual stick shifter. The result is a wheel that is even better than the original.

My one complaint is that two of the three clamp knobs are under a panel. While it does improve the looks, it is an inconvenience to remove and replace the cover just to move the wheel.

Overall I prefer the new black, less expensive, wheel. The stick shifter is a must-have for NASCAR racing fans plus the longer pedal travel allows for better precision footwork.
