I've had the same TSW for near on ten years now, maybe more. I had it
converted to USB last year and I don't miss FFB one bit (I've never
used it). The wheel is as sturdy as the day I bought it and shows no
signs of the important bits wearing out. I've got close to $600 in it
now between the original purchase and the USB upgrade, but spread out
over time, I'd have probably bought at least three lesser wheels by
now, so it's money even in my eyes.
