    360 Wireless Speed Wheel

    As we get ready for the Xbox E3 Briefing to begin later today, let’s kick off the week with a hardware announcement. It’s the Xbox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel and it goes on sale later this year for US $59.99. I‘ve uploaded a few photos so you can take a look at it for yourself. […]


    Launching in early October, the Wireless Speed Wheel is completely wireless and controlled intuitively with precise steering, standard controller buttons/triggers, and haptic feedback with rumble. The device is compatible with all racing games right out of the box*. The Wireless Speed Wheel will be available for $59.99 (U.S. ERP) and will ship to retailers worldwide beginning September 26, 2011. This device combines a fun and immersive driving experience with the biggest racing game of the year, the best rated ?Forza Motorsport.?
    With trigger buttons for gas and brake, combined with a rumble feedback, the Xbox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel provides intuitive standard controller buttons that immerse the driver into the game, whether you like to white knuckle it down the race track with your hands at ?10 and 2? or ?9 and 3.?
    The new Xbox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel balances the realism of a wheel with the feel of a controller for greater user edge in game play. It includes buttons for game specific functions including triggers, ABXY and D-pad along with green bands of lights on each handle to provide visual cues when necessary.

    All that will ever be is a disappointing present. Not real enough for the hardcore racers and too expensive for the casuals.

      And too heavy for those with flabby arms.

        Changing gears will be interesting.

          It's a free floating thing then like when you use the wiimote wheel in mario kart? Looks a bit heavy for that.

              I'm guessing that the LS will be set to steering. So the RS is gone, so no looking around etc.

                  It's probably much lighter than it looks but still looks a bit rubbish. The only things I wanna hold up when I'm playing games are cups of tea and cigarettes, I don't wan't to be physically active in any other way. I play games to relax...

                    So you'd need kinect as well, face plant!!!

                    Also those massive green lights 'for visual cues' seem totally lost on me.

                      For the love of god, forza players want to use the likes of a decent wheel, g25 etc.

                        The CSR/CSR Elite looks expensive.
                        If you're a console racer and you own an Xbox 360 then you know Forza Motorsport is among the best, but you also know that your selection of compatible controllers has left a bit to be desired. At this year's E3, which saw Microsoft peeling the protective tape from the bumpers and fenders of Forza Motorsport 4, there was actually an abundance of compatible wheels on display, but it's clear which were the most serious: two new wheels from Fanatec. They're called the CSR and CSR Elite, and there's a new set of pedals to match. Click on through for our detailed impressions. %Gallery-125952%


                        Big Boy Barry is flogging a new Madcatz one. Looks like he's lost a bit of weight since Gamesworld.
