Whilst not the sort of technical analysis that many OcUK users would expect when considering spending 100's of pounds on peripherals, some of the points they make are accurate.

I'm feeling spicy this morning so I thought I would shake it up a bit and celebrate with a few price drops on our Steering Wheel range.

These deals will be live until 9AM on 07/07/14




Logitech G27 Racing Wheel - PC / PS2 / PS3 (941-000093) @ £221.99 inc VAT

No, it isn’t the newest wheel set-up on the list, nor is it the prettiest. The G27 is well known for its durability, quick force feedback and customisable button functions. Highly accurate pedal pressure sensitivity - which is often an overlooked feature - gives you the whole package for total control.

Was £264.95 Inc. VAT

Only £221.99 inc VAT.

Wheel movement is super precise using new magnetic sensor technology and the force feedback response is quicker than ever.

Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel Ferrari 458 Italia Edition XBOX ONE & PC @ £219.95 inc VAT

If you want to race on Xbox One, you’ve only got a few options. If you want incredible force feedback and a streamlined connection with your console, this is what you get. The price is big drawback, but the set-up is well made with durable materials, and the overall impression is super realistic.

Was £299.99 Inc. VAT

Thrustmaster T80 Driveclub Edition Racing Wheel PS4 & PS3 @ £59.99 inc VAT

This little gem was the first PS3/PS4 wheel to hit the market, and it came at a good price. The control is precise, there are more programmable buttons than other budget wheels and the pedals are adjustable for different driving styles. But with a nice price come sacrifices; you’ll have to do without force feedback or a clutch pedal.

Was £84.95 Inc. VAT

Only £59.99 inc VAT.

Thrustmaster Ferrari Challenge Wheel (PS3/PC) @ £24.95 inc VAT

By far the most affordable on this list, the Ferrari Challenge wheel is a great beginner set-up for anyone on a budget. It lacks control accuracy but provides the oh-so-important force feedback you need to get used to in order to run with the big dogs.

Was £29.99 Inc. VAT

Only £24.95 inc VAT.

The hyper-link is just missing the www. from the url if you can edit that. Logitech Driving Force GT Wheel - PS3 & PC Support (941-000099) @ £99.95 inc VAT. Though it does take a while to load too.

I already own a T500SR wheel and the TH8 RS stick shifter, they are very good units, it's a real pity mine doesn't get the use it deserves. No room for a dedicated set up and feedback too strong for use with desk that my PC sits on.

I keep thinking that I should shift it, but always holding on in case circumstance changes.
