I bought this Last July (only 8 months ago). after years of researching and trying to decide which wheel to buy for sim racing. When i picked this up i was thrilled with its performance. It was such a huge upgrade over my previous Logitech wheels. That impression was short lived after only 4 months the accelerator developed a problem where it would report false inputs. After 6 months The problem had appeared on the middle brake pedal. Then last month the same problem started occuring on the clutch. Researching online i found people had mentioned potentiometers were getting dirty and needed regular cleaning. So i put the thin adapter on my vacuum cleaner and pointed it into the pedal well. That resolved the problem in the first 2 pedals. The Accelerator though is still having the problem. The wheel itself is fantastic and would score 5 stars from me. Sadly the pedals need a redesign because they are just not built to last more than 6 months im afraid :(
