I twisted the small wheel to turn my racer. Gentle movements steered me around the tracks, and the setup was most sensitive if I held it at a 90-degree angle, with the face pointing directly away from the TV. A button pad pushed the B trigger, giving me a bigger target to hop and turn. I reached the other buttons easily.
But the control felt imprecise because it wasn't mounted to anything. I unintentionally dropped the wheel angle sometimes, making the system less sensitive. I don't know why someone would want to buy one of these, and I expect most gamers will stick with other control methods.

If I had to guess, rabid Nintendo fanatics familiar with the series will likely be pleased as punch to use the Gamecube controller option if necessary.
That's why my girlfriend says about my Wii Wheel.

IS that blood? Oh it IS. Weird since the wound isn’t open.
*Throws heels.
The strap is so it won't fall off or fly out of your hand. For some people, that's a problem.
gross.
I'm sure that was the exact words most people used to describe Episode 1 The Phantom Menace.
Anyway If the Wii zapper taught me anything is that no matter how silly something looks clunky plastic peripherals can’t possibly make things better.

Tried playing Mario Kart Wii without the wheel (using just the Wii remote to turn it), and it worked surprisingly well, much better than Excite Truck. I'd imagine the wheel actually does make it better too. Wavebird is still the best though.

I just want to make my Wii Wheel golden! All things are better when they are shiny.

I'll probably play the game with the remote, maybe wheel when I first get it. If it's not for me, the GC controller will do.

I'll have to write more later, as I'm going to go and play a few more matches before I hit the hay. =P

Nintendonald's should have added some more plastic for a wheel base. it would have cut their $14 profit to $12, but would have increased their integrity and probably overall sales as well.

No +1 for you!
You won't be as good as you wree at the older versions but that's the point it makes you play differently and enjoy a new expereince with your mates - its a laugh frankly - dunno what the reviewer is goin on about with the dipping the angle jazz.
The tiredness does set in after the 4th or 5th drink though.
