Using Racing wheel on PC

So ive spent my day yard sale hopping, and came across an Xbox 360 Wireless Racing wheel. Now in theory I should be able to just buy the wireless dongle for 360 controllers and use that with it since the thing has no physical connection method of any form to a device. But i cant seem to find any concrete evidence that this would work. Has anyone tried this? if so what games and how did it react to them.

Yes, it does work with the wireless xbox 360 USB adapter BUT there is no force feedback on the PC.  They never added support for it in the driver and probably never will at this point.

If you are OK with that, then it works just like any other racing wheel on the PC that doesn't have FFB built in.

 

How important FFB is to you would have to be your call.

Some of the newer FFBs are a pain anyways, you wouldnt be losing much when it comes down to it, your call.
