How to Choose a Gaming Steering Wheel?
Choose a gaming steering wheel according to several parameters. In particular, focus on compatibility, features and turning range.
Gaming Steering Wheels—Compatibility
Gaming steering wheels are available in several variants, so make sure to get one that is compatible with your PC or game console. Some steering wheels are designed specifically for the PlayStation or Xbox. However, the most popular are PC steering wheels. Once you've tried one, you'll never go back to using your keyboard.
What Turning Range Should a Gaming Steering Wheel Have?
Each gaming steering wheel has a different turning range that affects the ease and comfort of gaming. Cheaper steering wheels usually allow 180°, while the best models can have up to 2520° of rotation lock-to-lock. A gaming steering wheel featuring 900° is a happy medium that will please most players.

Gaming Steering Wheel Buttons
Like real-life wheels, gaming steering wheels come with a varying number of buttons that give you access to the user interface and other advanced features. Though expensive wheels often have more buttons, more does not always mean better. Check the design and layout of the buttons to make sure they don't get in your way, and you can't accidentally press them when cornering.
Perfectly Designed Gaming Steering Wheels Deliver Comfortable Driving
You can choose gaming steering wheels according to subjective parameters, such as colour or design. Surface finishes and ergonomics affect the price of the product. Get a rubberised gaming wheel for a more comfortable grip and a better experience, or a leather wheel for added style and an extended lifespan.
