SteelSeries Simraceway S1 Steering Wheel Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2012-06-18

The Simraceway S1 Steering Wheel from SteelSeries is a unique peripheral made for people that do not have enough space in their gaming room to keep a full racing setup. The wheel comes with shift, throttle and brake paddles in the back and enough programmable buttons on the front for delivering a much better experience than using a regular Xbox360 controller. A nice addition is the RPM LEDs, but these will function only if the games also support it (F1 2011, Simraceway). The S1 also supports an optional wheel stand, which hopefully will become available in the near future.

A Closer Look Contd.

Going further down we’ll find the D-Pad, Back button and the Steering Sensitivity dial:

We can access the assist type we want to configure by accessing the middle dial:

On the left, we can adjust the assist values (low, medium, high, OFF) and also set the camera view:

The top right side holds the Speed Limiter, Launch Control, HUD, Horn, Boost, Look Right and Select buttons:

The wheel has a rubberized surface for optimal grip during races and is designed in such a way so we can access the paddles from the back really easy:

Here is a look on the back of the wheel which shows the paddles, the product sticker along with the USB cable:

On a closer inspection we can also see a central hole for using a wheel stand which is currently not available:

In Simraceway, the bottom, larger paddles are used for throttle/brake:

The top paddles are somehow smaller and will be used for shifting:

For additional durability, the cable is fully braided:

The wire ends up with a regular USB connector:
