ALL wheels i ever had (thrustmaster modena, saitek R-something, yellow logitech) developed the problem of potis wearing off after a few months of daily use. that leads to recalibration again and again and after some more weeks it becomes undrivable.
my only wheel without this problem is the ms sidewinder. i heard rumors that they use optical potis that dont wear off, and i can confirm that this wheel NEVER showed any sign of wearing after months and months.
i wouldnt be surprised if all these expensive shiny looking wheels from above had the cheapest potis available (just a personal thought). after all, the companies have to minimize costs somewhere...
i would recomend to try and get some information about that before buying.
greetings, jp
