10 best gaming wheels

A great option for those who regularly play racing not only on PC. This steering wheel connects to almost any equipment equipped with a USB port. It can be the same computer, a console from Nintendo, or even a regular smartphone! The connection is made using a two-meter cable. The diameter of this "steering wheel" is 24 cm. The rubber braid turned out to be quite pleasant to the touch. Vibration is well felt during the game. But, as is the case with other cheap wheels, such feedback is still not realistic. You can also find fault with the angle of rotation.As for the pedals, they have the least number of complaints. And the steering wheel received a gearshift lever. The only pity is that it is located too close to the steering wheel itself, and there is no way to remove it.

This is a budget option, designed exclusively for connecting to a computer. Interestingly, the need for savings did not force the manufacturer to abandon vibration motors. However, one cannot but admit that they do not work in the best way. Not surprisingly, some users simply turn off vibration so that it does not interfere. Another limitation of the game steering wheel is its minimum angle of rotation. Because of this, it is better not to try it in simulators, especially if they are dedicated to truckers. On the positive side, the optimal number of buttons can be noted. You can only find fault with their location - sometimes it is extremely difficult to blindly press the right one. And to the right of the steering wheel is the gearshift lever.

HORI gamepads usually connect to PC without any problems. This model is no exception to the rule. For this, a three-meter cable is used here. However, basically the steering wheel is not intended for a computer, but for a modern set-top box from Microsoft. The manipulator shows itself perfectly in some Forza Motorsport. Even the absence of a gear lever does not bother, since instead of it you can use the paddles on the steering wheel. The angle of rotation should also please. Only the absence of vibration feedback can upset. Only because of this fact in the future, you can still think about buying an even more expensive steering wheel.

Typically, budget models are connected exclusively to a PC. SPEEDLINK DRIFT O.Z. - this is just such a case. There is nothing to worry about, because it is on the computer that the largest number of racing games now exist.In them, you can safely try to use the gear lever located to the right of the steering wheel. If it seems uncomfortable, you can switch to the steering wheel paddles. Also noteworthy is the convenient placement of the buttons. The only pity is that they are all signed with numbers - instead of them I would like to see the usual notation in the style of Xbox. Another “steering wheel” is ready to boast of vibration feedback, albeit purely conditional. In the hands of the steering wheel does not slip, for which you should thank the rubber braid.

A great choice for playing arcade racing! I am glad that at this moment the process will be accompanied by vibration - there are corresponding motors inside the steering wheel. However, the feedback will be powerful, but it still cannot be called realistic. This will be noticeable if you install a full-fledged car simulator on your PC. By the way, this model does not have to be connected to a computer. HORI has been producing game controllers for more than a decade. Not surprisingly, even a budget steering wheel can be paired with PlayStation consoles. Of course, the product comes with pedals.But if the steering wheel itself has a quite decent performance, then the pedals, due to their high angle, constantly strive to slide on the floor. As for the gearshift lever, paddle shifters are used instead.

Must be the best steering wheel for someone who runs car simulators on a wide variety of consoles. This device can be connected to the Xbox One, and to the fourth PlayStation, and even to the Nintendo Switch. No problem will determine this model and computer. Despite not the highest cost, the steering wheel will please with a decent turning angle. But even more, the 28 cm steering wheel surprises with a leather braid! That's really what you do not expect to see in this price segment! After this, I want to find a gearbox in the package.Alas, the manufacturer still saved on this. And there are only two pedals. It is assumed that in games you will use only paddle shifters, and you will do without a clutch. A nice bonus is the presence of a 3.5 mm audio output here - this makes it easy to connect headphones.

The buttons on this steering wheel are marked with symbols familiar to you from Microsoft gamepads. This clearly hints that this device is designed to connect to the Xbox. However, the steering wheel is also determined by PC games without any problems. It comes with the most comfortable pedals. On their bottom there is a retractable part that literally bites into the carpet. It is impossible not to note the presence in this block of the third pedal, which plays the role of a clutch. Once upon a time, Logitech completed its steering wheels with a gearbox. However, now it has to be purchased separately. But on the other hand, the Americans did not stint on the leather coating. It is pleasant to the palms, and will retain its perfect appearance for many years.As for the angle of rotation, it reaches 900 degrees here. The only pity is that it will be possible to reduce it - such an opportunity is not provided here.

This steering wheel is not the largest, because its diameter is 30 cm. But it is very similar to the one used in the Ferrari 599XX EVO sports cars racing in the GT class. Interestingly, the steering wheel is removable. This is not done to make it easier to move it to storage after the game. It's just that Thrustmaster also produces steering wheels from other Ferrari car models. Other features of the manipulator include the ability to adjust the angle of rotation. And the steering wheel received an Alcantara coating - light, durable, pleasant to the touch and durable. Like all the other models in our selection, the device comes with pedals. There are no complaints about their design either. Even their base is thought out, which allows this block not to slip under the weight of the legs.

The best choice for a person who is going to seriously get involved in car simulators. This game steering wheel is ready to boast of a reliable fastening to the table. The whole process takes just one minute! Also, the American manufacturer thought out the pedal block - it does not slip at all. And how pleasant the leather braid turned out to be - not every real steering wheel evokes similar feelings. This model can be rotated up to 450 degrees in each direction. Thoughtful feedback also contributes to pleasant impressions - thanks to it, you literally feel what kind of coating is under the front wheels of the car.

This must be the largest gaming steering wheel.Its diameter is 31.5 cm! The shape of the steering wheel is similar to that used in open-wheel cars. And it is not much heavier - the scales under it will show only 1.2 kg. The manipulator is connected either to the computer or to the Xbox. In total, 15 buttons can be found on the steering wheel. Among them are all those that are on the proprietary Microsoft gamepad. Another distinguishing feature of this model is the ability to adjust its rotation - not all games need a maximum of 1080 degrees. As expected, the device will go to the buyer along with the pedals. But the gearshift lever, if necessary, will have to be purchased separately.
