Saitek R440 Force Feedback Affordable Racing Fun!
In a recent review I came across comparing the new G25 to the Saitek R440, the reviewer said “the 
R440 does an excellent job. The effects are all there and give a nice and realistic feedback overall” and I must agree. For the price if you are not looking to spend in excess of $200 for a G25 the Satiek 440 is an outstanding option.
Here are some of the features:
-
- Instant USB connection that makes set-up absolutely easy
- Precision foot control with accurate and strong gas and brake pedals
-
- Compatible with Windows 98, Me, and 2000 (XP requires quick download)
-
- Cheap price at Amazon (USA) currently on sale
The Performance King?
One reviewer has mentioned this as a performance king! Talking about such things as realism,
force feedback, precision. These are all the buzz words you want to hear when reading a review of how
good a racing wheel can be. Catch the full review here
Is It All Good?
However on the flip side, when paying a price such as this for a racing wheel, some compromises must be
made. For example the wheels are easy to reach but the other buttons are a little awkward and take some
searching. The steering wheel is clunky and is not as smooth as some of the newer racing wheels out there.
Here is an in depth review from a customer at Amazon that gave the wheel the lowly 2 stars… find out why!
The Satiek 440 is currently not available in the UK but the Saitek R220 Digital Sports wheel is a 4-star
firecracker of an option Currently only £59.99 at Amazon
