Gaming Steering Wheels

If you are into racing, driving or flight simulation games for your PC, a steering wheel controller will be the best video game accessory you ever purchase. Here is what to consider before buying a gaming steering wheel.

Issues to Consider

* '''How much space you have'''. Ideally you'll have a desk, tray or coffee table that can stand as the base for your steering wheel. If this isn't the case, go for a wheel that can fit on your lap. * '''Desk compatibility'''. Make sure you are able to clamp the steering wheel onto the desk properly. If your desk has a lip, the clamp may not work. * '''Forcefeedback is included as a feature on the device you buy. * '''Shifters'''. If you play in automatic transmission mode, then don't worry about this feature. However, if manual transmission is your thing, look for a shifter that simulates a Formula 1 car, with a paddle-style gear shift as opposed to a stick shift. * '''Pedals.''' Consider where you are playing. What texture is the floor sticking grips or stoppers. * '''Features. '''If you want to take advantage of all the features on an advanced game you will want more buttons on your steering wheel. Otherwise, you can save money by going for a more basic model. * '''Wheel'''. Rubberized wheels give you a better grip. Plastic wheels can make your hands sweat and slip.
