I signed up for the site to respond to this. That, and the guys at Giant Bomb are cool.
I have the wireless wheel, it's mostly great.
Tried it out at the Best Buy demo, and I kind of sucked with it. The wheel won't correct towards the center like a joystiq or real wheel, so I was doing weird stuff coming out of turns. Otherwise it seemed responsive, so that was promising. And after going online to look at the Amazon reviews, people were raving about it.
We have the wireless Mad Catz at work, and it's cool. I thought I was going to buy the Mad Catz until I took it home one weekend.
In practice, I opted against the Mad Catz. The pedals slipped on my faux wood floors and the rig is bulky. I don't want to store that once I get bored with Forza or lying around until then.
Plus, the MS wheel was only 50 bucks. I went that route, and I'm quite happy. I never have joystick thumb anymore and I'm fast with this thing. It takes up no room and most of all is way more fun than using a controller. I probably look like an asshole waving this thing around. Still, love it.
Only caveat is the lack of LB/RB buttons. Turning the controller off to use the AH is annoying. But again, highly recommended purchase.
