Whatever to eat straight - creates vibration in the entire steering column. But for the correct operation of this device, it is necessary, first of all, to install and configure it. each game has its own requirements for such devices.
Step 2

If you do not have the newest version of the steering wheel and it does not support USB connection, and you did not find the required connector, purchase a special adapter.
Step 3
After determining the type of connection, you need to make sure that there are free USB ports. As you know, now a large number of devices are produced with USB interface. If you find that there are no free connectors or there is only one, try attaching a special hub to the computer.

Remember that there is no "clutch" pedal for such a device, so it must be configured by specifying any of the unused buttons as this pedal.
