Is the item durable?

The wheel is very solid. When you feel it you know it will last for a really long time. I use mine all the time and have had no issues at all with anything breaking or even showing signs of wear. It is a well built piece.

Mine broke after about a year of very light use. Everything mechanical seems to work fine. But when I plug the wheel into a USB port, its lights flash in a weird way and it fails to send any data. I tried to get information from the company about repair, but I guess that's not an option. The company never responded to me. That's a big disappointment, because I like this wheel and cannot find anything else like it. So I'm about to buy another one.

Yes, it seams to be well built and has a good feel to it. It has about the right weight without feeling like toy.

The S1 wheel controller is nicely built, with a solid feel, hard rubber grips, cloth covered cable and large black allen bolts holding the shell together and phillips screws that affix the rubber handles. The unit has a nice matt rubberized no glare finish. The plain round buttons seem durable as are the dials. The gear shifter paddles seems reasonably strong, but would not handle major abuse or careless handling by young children. It's not very heavy but has a bit of heft. It does feel solid much like decent desktop wheels. It doesn't feel hollow or cheap in any way. I have only had the device for a few months and is going strong.Hope this helps.

I have owned mine for about 8 months now and subject it to constant travel in my laptop backpack along with everything else. It has not failed me thus far.

It's pretty durable. Ours has been dropped and knocked off the table numerous times. I'm pretty impressed with it. We've even used it as a flashlight on more than one occasion :)

Yes it seems to have held up nicely - I have two of them - both little wear and tear so far - they have got years left!

Yes, its durable. I through my phone in my purse a lot and it has held up. It doesn't offer much protection as a OutterBox would, but I don't think it was designed to. It's very pretty.

Hi, I would say fairly durable. We've had two for about a year now and we use them as goals, and have had no problems. However, my kids are young 9 ,7, 7. So they do pretty limited damage. But for us they have been perfect.

Extremely durable. My husband, my adult daughter and myself all use it. It's holding up great and is made very well also. Hope this helps.

it is very durable. I do not cary 50 lbs daily, but i feel confident saying that it can handle that much weight without problems.

Yes, very sturdy and durable. I've been using this daily for the past 3 years and haven't had any issues.

YES! It's held up really well. We are going to be able to use it again. My daughter had it in for two months. Still very pleased :)

Yes, it is. But it seems to be pretty durable. I've been using this for over a year, subjecting it to heat, rough handling etc, and it is still going strong.

So far...mine has held up very well. Looks the same as when I bought it ... I'm guessing 2 yrs ago. Worth the $$$

I think so I use it and it seems to hold up but I don't use it every day. Overall though durable. Hope this helps

It seems to be durable. I bought it for my 6 yr old son, he's not torn it up. However, it would not be durable enough to keep important monies or papers in to keep safe. I believe the lock could be easily picked.

It is very durable. I bought one for my dog and I am very pleased with it. It is holding up very well, actually when I first bought it my 2 younger kids, ages 10 and 4, were playing and hiding in it as if I bought it for them!! Absolutely recommend it.

Yes I would say it is a durable little unit, however the sound quality is terrible. I dont know if i got a defective unit or what, but Bad sound.
