While the SRW-S1 Steering Wheel is somewhat pricey at $119.99, I think it's well worth it. The smooth precision you get when controlling the direction, speed and breaking of your virtual car can't be matched by traditional game controllers. With all of th...
and FVThe S1 is an amazing wheel that obviously has its faults. The most frustrating part is the best part of the wheel is its compactness, but in order to fix inherent flaw in the design they would have to mount the wheel making it just like every ot...
Rubberized & "Grippy", Durable, Doesn't lag, Motion sensitive, LED light for shift indications, Lots of buttons, Braided cord, $10 gift card
Bulky, Came with a corner gap/crack, Some buttons were not level with my controller, Some races in Simeraceway had issues (although not directly controller related, the bundled game should work), Price - a little pricey at $120
Now we come to the final straight-away and wrap up the results of the SRW-S1 wheel. As a gamer myself I've spent a lot of time over the years playing racing games and have a good collection of racing games for PlayStation, NDS and PC. In most racing ...

15 buttons, Customisable, Good build quality, Comfortable
No axis, Arms could get tired using it for long periods, No force feedback
The fact that it's not clamped to a desk does make it far more convenient, and the multiple buttons and dials - that can be used for racing games other than Simraceway - are excellent. But we feel that it misses out on being the ultimate gaming steering ...
There is so much about the SRW-S1 that I personally feel solved all my previous issues in making a decision on which wheel to buy. My issues were sliding pedals, the bulk of the wheel in general, as well as when not in use and this is nowhere near as ...

Abstract: Playing a racing game on your desktop PC is so much more fun when you use an actual steering wheel. Anyone who's played a racing game with a keyboard or gamepad and then an actual steering wheel with gas and brake pedals, can testify to this. Hardware.I...
Good price, Quality materials used, Looks great, Great packaging, Highly configurable,
Time consuming to tweak, Painful to use for long periods
Although the SRW-S1 and Simraceway has a steep learning curve, it works very well once you have become accustomed to it. The motion detection is perfect and there is zero lag. The accelerator and brake paddles work very well however the gear change pa...
Abstract: Steelseries SRW-S1 Gadget or SimulatorSteelseries have moved into a new direction with the SRW-S1 steering wheel. It has no pedals, no desk mount. It's a steering wheel with everything you need and more in one small package. The SRW-S1 has been co-designe...
The Steelseries SRW-S1 steering wheel performed very well in Simraceway, the game it was designed for. It’s a shame the wheel did not appear to work in either Blur or F1 2012 as they are both popular games and games I would have liked to have tested t...
