German accessories developer Fanatec has released its latest invention, the Fanatec Speedster Controller. The unique wireless game pad combines a PlayStation 2 controller and the functionality, precision, and feeling of a Speedster steering wheel.

With its specially developed Twist'n'Turn axis and ergonomically improved analogue triggers, the Speedster Controller is designed to provide more realistic and precise control of all racing games including motorbike, jetski, ATV, and snowboard.

Furthermore, the Speedster Controller features the tuning features of the Speedster wheel series including sensitivity, elimination of the dead-zone, and adjustment of the vibration level. Included within the package is the Play'n'Charge Set featuring three rechargeable 2000mAh batteries and a five metre USB charging cable for continuous gameplay.

“While developing the Speedster Controller we could really rely on many years of experience in steering wheel and game pad innovation and construction,” says Thomas Jackermeier, Chairman of the Executive Board of Endor, the brainfactory behind the Fanatec brand. “With its exhaustive tuning features, and innovative as well as intuitive handling, this controller is not just a copy of something. It represents a new product category for more fun and the perfect experience.”
