You really have to get used to it, and any wrong steering movements are punished harshly! It's fantastic! Now we're waiting for the pedal upgrade. #patience

Perfect wheel, but you have to connect the pedals to the correct port, otherwise it won't respond. I find the table clamp quite sturdy.
You can adjust it to increase small forces, so you can still feel all the forces fairly well at a low setting, but it's easier to leave it at the default setting, set it to 100%, and then simply increase or decrease the FFB in-game. For Logitech PlaySeat compatibility, I had to drill a lot of hardened steel. My old Thrustmaster T-GT 1 is compatible with the Logitech PlaySeat, without drilling. But it's also a Thrustmaster, not a Logitech, so that makes sense from a Logitech perspective.
The shifter paddles make a lot of noise unless you press gently, which is a bit inconvenient if you don't want to wake someone. But with frequent use, the paddles can gradually become quieter after a while. And otherwise, it's remarkably quiet.
The steering base is heavy, but given the small adapter, it's much more economical on electricity and therefore more efficient and effective. However, I haven't checked that.

There are certainly better wheels for racing games, but they come with a price tag. I don't use this wheel for racing, but for driving a truck. And for that, I highly recommend it.
