The DFP was one of the most popular wheels in the sim racing community and Logitech's premium wheel until the G25 came along. The DFP features 900deg rotation, paddle shifters, plenty of wheel-mounted buttons, and a sequential shifter.

Happens to be the one I own and to which I refered as crappy quality control.

Of course software could have something to do with it and the wheel itself isn't that bad, it's the pedals that aren't right.

So far in everything I've tried it with (ps2 burnout & GT4, pc multiple nfs and a sim racer I forgot the name of). The brakes and accelerator pedals either stick on or off.

And this wasn't after even a few months of use.

Yeah, it sounds like you had a bad experience.

I had a DFP for three years before selling it to a friend and getting the G25. I never had a problem with it.

Logitech G25. :P

Well just to let you know, I'm not really looking to upgrade my monitors right now (I have 4 19" LCD's) so it's not a full immersion thing. But I do want a wheel with force feedback and a Stick shift. I have about 150 to play with, so I'm looking for around there. Xbox 360 compatibility isn't a need (I can find something cheap for the 360).

By Stick Shift do you mean sequential (up/down) or H-pattern (6-speed, etc) ?

Yeah, it sounds like you had a bad experience.

In what environment were your pedals used? Carpet? Pets? I'm wondering if things like carpet, lint, dust, pet hair, spilled fluids could be factors.
Maybe Logitech would have hooked you up, too. Did you contact them?

No pets, no spills, no carpets, nothing, that every other electronics in this room has survived for 3+ years without issues.

Contacting logitech is extremely pointless, they either don't respond or give out general replies which basically look for the first 3 keyword matches and send, often very unrelated, replies.

After the kb, pads, wheel and remote, I've simply put logitech on the blacklist of makers that treat you so you buy the 'new model' instead of getting one that works.

They joined asus, belkin and monster, among others.

Is that what happened to you?

it doesn't matter to me, i just have a budget and this is something that is a must.

Yep, more than once.
