    So, question 1;
    Force feedback volume; How loud is it in comparison to my Driving Force GT? I know its gonna be loud, but how loud I dont know. Every video I look at on YouTube either are in some language other than english and just blasting volume from games, or have the audio track muted. Anyone with personal experience with this wheel, I would like some info on this. I dont mind loud force feedback, but its everyone else in my house that Im worried about xD.

    2; What should I be looking out for on this wheel when it comes in?(IF it comes in o_O)
    Here is where the bad news comes in; I bought it off Ebay.(Oops!)
    So when it comes in, since the wheel was described as "Lightly Used", What should I be looking out for in terms of it being Lightly Used?
    I would like something to go off of so that when I get it, I know what I am looking for.
    Sight unseen is something I was hoping not to end up doing, but since I was not paying 300$ for a G27 from Microcenter, or the 400$+ I was finding on Ebay.



    3; Owners, how does the wheel feel to you?


    I know that I was recommended a G27 in the recent forum I made, and I was gonna get one until the prices took a perm. price hike. So until I can find a listing in the coming months of someone trying to get rid of theirs, Im stuck with this. So how does it feel?

    Does it really matter how good or bad the wheel is at this point, since you've already bought it? You can use the powers of independent thought to assess it when it arrives.

    Yeah, you're right.


    But still, does anyone have an answer to my questions despite how stupid they really are at this point?

    Quite loud. What I dislike is that the 'grabbers' (those things you use to lock it to your table) tend to get loose with a bit of vibrations. But it could be a thing with mine G25..

    You mean the clamps? Mine does that too.
    You could bolt it to your desk. It does have mounting holes for you to do that. :p

    I haven't used my G25 for ages. I don't have room to use it with my PC.

    The wheel is loud, I did find some videos of it in action. But I cant tell if my DFGT is actually quieter or louder than the G25 significantly.
    Oh well. Anything else I should know for when it comes in that I should be aware of?
