Racing Wheel Overdrive Designed for Xbox Series X|S By HORI – Officially Licensed by Microsoft

Great for starters
I’ve had this wheel for a few weeks now, and I have some things to say.Pros:-Having no force feedback, the wheel is easy to use and is great for beginners.-Since the wheel automatically goes to the center, it can slide through your hands when you’re turning all the way to the left or right if you’re looking for that feature.-Despite the materials, the wheel and pedals feel pretty dang good for the price.-Easy to use and setup, price is cheap.-The profile feature is awesome and convenient.-The wheel is a little smaller than a regular car steering wheel, but still comfortable.-I haven’t stopped playing with the wheel since I bought it.Cons:-Coming back to the automatically centering thing, you can feel a weird tactile bump thingy that happens when you pass the middle. But when you’re driving, you don’t feel it much.-Obviously it can only turn 270° it does feel a bit weird because you want to turn it more than that.-Pedals feel small. Pedal shifters are loose and loud.-Materials are cheap plastic, the steering wheel feels hollow but I’m not sure.-This happens rarely, but sometimes you have to unplug and replug the steering wheel for it to work.-These cons are pretty small and don’t take away from the fun.Overall, this is a great wheel and I’ve been having a blast with it so far. If you’re looking for a first wheel, I highly recommend this one.

Functionality
works great for forza 5. The quality isnt the best since its made of all plastic but its alright for the price

Sloppy w/ a Nothcy Center and Short Pedal Travel.
I bought this but ended up returning it for two reasons, which I’ll list below. (This was used with an XSX playing Forza Motorsport 2023)The Pros:This steering wheel looks nice in black-on-black and feels well-made; The exterior definitely is nice. It has every button that a controller does and has different-colored LEDs to indicate profiles and such; The plastics seemed solid and the faux leather grips were nice; The steering is sharp, tight and uniform both left and right. The wheel section does come with a clamp setup with an adapter for different desk/tables. It did not work with my table, unfortunately. The pedals come as two – brake and throttle – so there is no clutch which is fine since this is really made for autos and/or paddle shifting. (Although a clutch pedal and manual/sequential shifter add-on would be nice.) The pedal base has a short extension that goes under your heels as a way to keep it pressed to the floor. This keeps it well-anchored and steady as long as you keep your heel down and/or keep it within a reasonable distance.The cons:As with all wheels like this, it has an auto-return-to-center feature where it kinda “springs” back to center when you let go. This does this same, but at dead center is a notch-feeling area. Not only can you feel it, but it’s a very audible click sound when you hit this “notch.” What’s worse is there is quite a lot of play within that “notch” area and because this wheel is only around 270° from wheel-lock to wheel-lock, it’s extremely sensitive which makes the “notch” feel like it’s a 2cm-wide dead zone when you’re driving at speed. And FINALLY, this made it impossible to recalibrate the steering dead zones.Then there are the pedals. They are tight, smooth and consistent all the way up and down and there was zero detectable play. They had the perfect amount of resistance for a non-feedback setup. The dead zones were quick and easy to change in-game. But they had an extremely short travel distance. I didn’t measure them but it felt like it was around 2.5″ to 3″ from 0% to 100% for each pedal. This meant that although it was easy to set dead zones, it was still extremely difficult to modulate either pedal, especially on more extreme vehicles, meaning I was constantly locking-up brakes or over-throttling.I’m sure this is okay for a more arcade-style game, but with Forza on full sim mode, it just doesn’t cut it.

never been so excited to get a wheel, never been so disappointed
I race on my xbox super commonly, so I finally decided it was time for me to get wheel. I went with this, as it is budget, while also being good and versatile. I was wrong. Straight off the bat, the pedals are trash. The underside of them have no grip, so anytime you press down on the pedals, the entire thing moves, and speaking of trash pedals, the brake kept turning on and off as if it had a mind of its own! One corner it was great, next corner, brake failure. This kept happening til the brake pedal just died. It just stopped working. And it is not like I used this for a while, I had played with the setup for an hour, and this stuff was already happening. The wheel is ok. It is sleek and cool looking for the price, but then again, it doesn’t have vibration, force feedback, or even a headset port. and the sensitivity is just straight up terrible. I really wish I could have said something positive about this. I was REALLY looking forward to it. But trash will always be trash. I don’t even know how Microsoft certified this. They probably just looked at it for half a second and gave them a sticker. If you want to get better at video game racing, just get a Logitech or something like that. it might be 2-3x the price, but this poop stopped working after like an hour. I am certainly going to return it, and give it another shot, but I will warn you, this is a budget wheel. This has a super high chance of just randomly stop working. Extremely disappointing, I want my money back.

Great fun for all the family.
