A game steering wheel is a special device that simulates a regular car steering wheel. To get real pleasure from driving a virtual car in simulators, you should pay special attention to the choice of this device.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the way the handlebars are attached to the table surface. The fact is that many devices that are attached to surfaces with Velcro or suction cups are regularly peeled off during the most stressful moments. As a result, the steering wheel simply comes off the table, and the player cannot continue to drive the virtual car. You will not get any pleasure from such situations, believe me. That is why it is recommended to purchase game wheels that are as securely attached to the table as possible. In particular, clamps are considered reliable fastening.
Step 2
Next, evaluate the angle of rotation of the steering wheel. There are models with a rotation of 150 degrees, but you should not purchase them. But 360-degree steering wheels are also not the best option, as they make the game much more difficult. The optimal angle of rotation of the steering wheel is from 180 degrees.
Step 3
Pay attention to the materials from which the steering wheel cover is made. The cheapest devices are made of plastic, the most expensive are covered with leather. Plastic often breaks down rather quickly. In addition, if the plastic surface of the steering wheel is not covered with anything, then the hands will simply slide over it, and this will cause great inconvenience during the game. Choose gaming wheels covered in leather or soft rubber. Be sure to hold the steering wheel in your hands, evaluate how you feel, check if your hands slip when trying to turn the steering wheel. The size of the wheel, the materials from which it is made, the location of the buttons, etc. should be as convenient as possible for you.
Step 4
Do not buy a wheel that is too cheap, as it is unlikely to be really comfortable and will likely fail quickly. The average cost of the device is 3000-5000 rubles. If you don't have enough money for a quality gaming wheel, you better dig a little more. Also, when buying, pay attention to the value for money: the high cost of a gaming wheel does not guarantee its durability and ease of use.
