Force Feedback Controller with Mini Direct Drive Wheel – Racing Gamepad for Everyone

Force feedback controller: overview

This force feedback controller puts a miniature direct drive steering wheel into the face of a gamepad. You get genuine force feedback – it pushes back on oversteer, pulses under ABS braking and tells you what the car is doing – with no rig, no wheel stand and no desk clamp.

It is the missing step between a standard controller and a full wheel setup: perfect for the partner, the kids or friends who come over, or for a racer who is serious about sim racing but does not have the space or the setup yet.

It is built on award-winning force feedback gamepad technology and tuned to our standards for driving feel.

Who the force feedback controller is for

Everyone in the house who wants to race:

• Family members and guests who do not use the rig
• Racers without space for a wheel and cockpit
• Couch racing on the sofa
• A first step before a full wheel setup

Features in detail

Mini direct drive wheel

A small direct drive wheel built into the controller face provides real steering feedback.

Genuine force feedback

Feel oversteer, ABS pulses and road feel through your thumbs.

No rig required

Play from the sofa or a desk without clamps or stands.

Award-winning technology

Built on a force feedback gamepad platform recognised at major tech shows.

Compatibility

Platform and game support depend on the controller firmware and the game's force feedback support. Email us your platform and games before ordering and we will confirm compatibility.

Building a sim racing or flight setup

Base, rim and pedals. In a modular setup the wheel base holds the force feedback motor, the rim clips on with a quick release and the pedals connect to the base or by USB. Rims and pedals must suit your base, and the base decides which platforms are supported.

Direct drive. Direct drive bases attach the rim straight to the motor for the most detailed and strongest feedback. They need a rigid cockpit or a strong desk mount.

Load cell pedals. A load cell brake measures pressure, not travel, like a real car. It is the single upgrade that improves lap-time consistency the most.

Setup and use

1. Charge or connect the controller as described in its guide.
2. Pair or plug it into your system.
3. Enable force feedback in your racing game's controller settings and tune the strength.

Care and maintenance

Keep it dry, clean it with a dry cloth and store it away from heat. Do not force the mini wheel beyond its travel.

Frequently asked questions

Is it a real direct drive wheel?

It uses a miniature direct drive motor in the controller face – far smaller than a rig wheel base, but genuine force feedback.

No, it is designed for use without a rig or clamp.

Is it a replacement for a full wheel?
