The wheel’s small size means it can also fit on desktops with limited free space. A clamp attachment is provided to help fasten the wheel to your tabletop, and it does a fairly good job of holding the wheel in place. Like the wheel, the pedals too are quite small the entire pedal base is just about 8 inches wide. Over the course of a long race, your foot will start to tire from having to constantly hold the accelerator down. Here, both offer equal resistance, and it takes a considerably amount of effort to keep the accelerator held down. Since you tend to spend most of your time in a game with the accelerator pressed down, the throttle pedal in most wheels (as in real cars) offers a lot less resistance and can be easily pressed and held down, while the brake pedal is harder to press. The base features two pedals – an accelerator and a break, and here is the first sign that the manufacturer really doesn’t know much about racing wheels.
All you’ll get is an elastic band-like resistance when the wheel is turned.Ī cable connects the wheel to the pedal base, and another connects it to your PC or console via a USB port. Not only does this wheel not feature force feedback, but there’s also no vibration/rumble, which is something most entry-level wheels offer. The wheel also features paddle shifters, like those seen in F1 cars and sports cars, just behind the wheel, but they’re extremely flimsy and tend to move around even when you’re not pulling on them. Also, most racing wheels are deisgned for optimum grip, which is usually achieved using leather or rubber, but this wheel seems to be aiming for the exact opposite, using glossy plastic instead.
