Strengths:
good feedback, easy to use - once initial setup and firmware updates are complete
Weaknesses:
quality of build
breakaway USB cord reliability is questionable
need windows based computer for setup/firmware update
button layout not intuitive
Additional Comments:
sad to see a fully licensed xbox accessory needing to be updated via USB and computer -- hope you have a laptop or PC near your xbox cause you will need it. My unit crapped out after approx. 10 hrs of racing across 3 weeks time. internet says the USB breakaway connection is the likely culprit, so will know if that's the issue in about 3 days time when a new breakaway cord arrives to test.
the button layout is odd -- but seeing as they utilized a replica Ferrari 458 wheel I can forgive them

Strengths:
Very smooth, accurate and strong force feedback.
Interchangeability of components and addons.
Licenced Ferrari Product.
Weaknesses:
Pedals it comes with are cheap but they work okay.
Total cost of the wheel can get very expensive with add ons.
Base is a bit large so may be hard to mount for portable setups.
Fan can be loud at times but not unbearable.
Additional Comments:
TX series is LIGHTYEARS ahead of any competitor product. The force feedback is so smooth and accurate. Wheel action is smooth. The detachable wheel setup is spectacular as well as all the addons. Bit bulky for portable setups. Recognizes which wheel you have installed and adjusts accordingly. The addons are expensive and can make this wheel easily cost $1000 if you go all out. Easily compares to the T500. Cant believe I waited so long to upgrade.
