Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
On paper, the Logitech lap attachment for their top-notch line of force feedback wheels sounds like a must-have accessory. It also sounds a little too good to be true and unfortunately, this turns out to be the case. As others have mentioned, its fatal flaw is the design itself. It is simply too small and innately imbalanced to keep the wheel stable through any quick and/or "big" (i.e. hairpins) steering. Not only does it impede your use of the wheel, but also of the pedals - you'll quickly grow tired of clinching your knees together while trying to manage the heavy-duty stop/start pedaling associated with any city street or off-road rally racing. Imagine squeezing a Thighmaster together as hard as you can while playing - oooh, fun. At least you'll have really toned gleuts after a lot of gameplay. The lap attachment is also made of hard, slick plastic. You can't tell that from the photos and I'd hoped that it would be something rubbery with some grip, but no. So, you've also got to carefully choose your attire while playing. By now, you should be getting the point that this thing is simply more trouble than it's worth. The only reason I give it two stars is that it can perform adequately (just barely) when racing ovals that don't depend on jamming the pedals and working the wheel. So, NASCAR fans may find some value here, but let's face it - Gran Turismo 4 is THE reason to buy the wheel in the first place, and this gizmo will render it almost unusable for that purpose. I've seen others convert TV tables or large lap desks into suitable surfaces on which to clamp a Logitech wheel. I'll be looking into that option next since the lap attachment has let me down.
