Modern personal computers allow you to connect a lot of gadgets and devices, many of which turn it into a real gaming center. Without a doubt, all kinds of joysticks, gamepads and other gaming devices will make your computer a favorite place not only for children, but also for many adults. Next, we will look at how to connect such a popular addition to your computer as a steering wheel, which makes you feel like a real racer.
Instructions
Step 1
Get a steering wheel. This is the first thing to do. Come to a computer hardware store, choose the model you like the most and talk to the seller about her account. What do you need to ask? Did the consumers have any problems with this model, did they return it for warranty repair, why is it better than similar devices of the same price category, if there is a service center of this manufacturer in the city, what is the warranty period, what is included, etc.
Step 2
Find out in the store what type of port the rudder is connected to. Modern models tend to plug into a USB port, but there may be different options. Therefore, check directly with the store so that, if necessary, adjust your choice and give preference to the steering wheel, which will be less problematic to connect.
Step 3
See if your computer has free USB ports. At least one port is needed to connect the steering wheel. If the computer has been in your operation for a long time, then it is possible that all its USB ports are occupied by a connected printer, webcam, scanner, modem, etc. In order not to make repeated unnecessary manipulations with reconnection, purchase a USB hub in the same store, which will allow you to connect several devices to one port.
Step 4
Connect the purchased steering wheel. This operation should not be too difficult if you methodically followed the recommendations of the points above. To install the steering wheel, just insert the plug into the corresponding connector and you can safely enjoy the races. Do not rush to run to the service center with complaints about a malfunction of a recent purchase, if one of the games fails to apply it. This game may simply not support this device.
