Really wanted a wheel for forza. Just bought one of these from Argos (£29.99) thought I had the deal of the century.. 
The wheel is the size of a small plate, awful to feel and use..it doesnt do what you want it to do.. Kept snaketailing constantly. (Took me 5 minutes to do a lap on colin mcrae dirt... When you slam it into full lock it doesnt respond much at all, then when you want to take a wide corner and take it easy your car ends up doing a 360.. The suction pads dont work. The Leg holders to let you have it on your lap restrict your legs so you can hardly use the pedals.
Taking it back tommorow and getting the MS wireless wheel.. Avoid this product at all costs!

yes the MS wheel is amazing, the madcatz is crap]
re: lap mount, its designed so you can use it on your lap but i dont imagine it would be as good as mounting it on a table, never tried lapmount

Lapmount is bollocks tbh, so mounted it to an old portable PC desk for now, bit wobbly but fantastic all the same. Force feedback is amazing, the pedals are superb, love the ankle holder thingy so it doesnt slip away. Amazing on PGR3 and Forza 2 demo.. well worth the £80.. uncontrollable on Dirt demo but i blame the game not the wheel
