By

SteelSeries today introduced the Simraceway SRW-S1 Steering Wheel, an affordable, high-performance PC controller that aims to open up a whole new racing world to players frustrated by the limitations of joypads. A handheld hybrid racing controller that combines the features and functions of a high-end wheel with the portability and convenience of a joypad, the SRW-S1 includes a motion-sensor for steering and a patent-pending throttle and brake paddle system for a fully simulated driving experience without the need for floor pedals. The Simraceway SRW-S1 Steering Wheel is available now online in the SteelSeries Web Shop for $119.99 / 119.99 MSRP.

When we set out in 2008 to create a new kind of racing game, one of the first issues we had to confront was the age-old interface problem, said Ignite CEO Jonathan Haswell. For decades now, racing game players have been faced with the unenviable choice of spending a huge amount of money on a wheel-and-pedal set that is tricky to set up, store and transport or settling for a binary joypad that simply isnt fit-for-purpose. It soon became clear that the only solution was to produce something completely new and unique. A controller that would be affordable enough for those who cant justify spending fortunes on top-end racing wheels but authentic enough to convey the full exhilaration of the virtual racing experience. We were honored that a company with the reputation of SteelSeries understood the direction we wanted to head in and were overjoyed with what theyve managed to produce for us.
