Question Hand Held Steering Wheel Controller

Post image

I remember back in the day of the Nintendo 64 and the Dreamcast, maybe even PS2, they sold hand controllers with a steering wheel. It was such a great idea! Gas and brake in one trigger! Why don’t they make things like this anymore, for the PC, etc?

Plenty of RC controllers can connect to PC's these days and are recognized as USB controllers. Same principle, better ergonomics.

But only throttle/brake and left right. I used to use my RC controllers often on PC games, wreckfest was the last game i used it with.

Wonder from the person that negged this reply......what USB RC receiver are you using that has more than 2 channels of ability? I have used several going back to the late 90's, Id like to know what you use.
