If you've never tried a force feedback controller you might wonder how it could possibly work, how it could help you in a game. Well, life has a funny way of punishing you if you become disconnected.
Realism can actually help in many circumstances to achieve peak performance in games.
For any serious driver, the answer is a no brainer. The concept of force feedback in games is essentially the same. The idea is to introduce input to the player that both makes the game more realistic and thus immersive, while also allowing the player to use that information to improve performance. In it's base configuration the WingMan Force shares a lot of characteristics with Logitech's standard WingMan joystick. Both sport an eight way hat switch, nine buttons and a throttle control.
