Great fun with Mario Cart
The Official Nintendo Wii Wheel is designed to allow you to use the remote while its in the wheel. This means that on menu screens you have full use of your remote. I had to buy a second wheel to go with Mario Cart, and replace a knock off wii wheel that does not allow the remote to point at the TV for use on menus. Don't get a generic wii wheel. The five bucks you save won't make up for the fact that you wasted your money on crappy product.

So easy a three year old can use it
Anyone can use this. It's a blast with Mario Kart. Hopefully more games are coming for it. Smart move, Nintendo!!!

Wii Wheel worth the money...for me anyway
I like the mechanics of the wheel. I found it to be pretty accurate. It's not too sensitive but it reacts to your turns quite well. I found that if you try to over-correct on a turn or swerve, you might bring the remote over 180 degrees and make it turn you the oposite direction. You just have to learn how to handle it and not exagerat your movements. The only thing that really bothers me is using the 2 button for the acceleration. I would rather use the B button for that and the 2 button for throwing or dropping banana peels and koopa shells. The ergonomics of that make more sense to me but even all that doesn't bother me enough to NOT use it. Have fun, you should enjoy it!

Easy transition
This is a great wheel. Yes, this is a stupid wheel that is not necessary. You dont have to use it but I like the realism of it. We bought this and another brand, and this one is by far better. With the knock-off you had to remove the tether string to use it. This is deisgned specifically for the remote as-is. It fits perfectly and feels good.

You'll love it or hate it. I love it!
I read mixed reviews about the Wii Wheel attachment before Mario Kart was released and decided to just try it for myself. I found it to be very easy to use but, more importantly, I just found it to be tons of fun! So fun in fact that I haven't even tried any other control scheme.

Some people complain that the Wii Wheel isn't very accurate. I disagree. Within a week and a half of buying Mario Kart I had already gotten first place in every cup in 50cc, 100cc, and even 150cc. It might take a little bit to get used to but it's plenty accurate.

I think most people that play Mario Kart will have a strong opinion about the Wii Wheel, positive or negative. The game comes with one Wii Wheel so just give it a try first. If it's not your thing then don't use it. Personally I found that it immerses you in the game and takes the fun level up several notches. I wasn't even looking forward to buying Mario Kart but once I played it with the Wii Wheel I just can't stop playing it. I haven't enjoyed a video game this much in years. And I directly attribute that to the Wii Wheel.
