Saitek has launched its new R660GT Force Feedback Wheel, a USB racing wheel with force feedback and switchable gearstick.

The R660GT wheel comes with a solid G-clamp to securely fix the wheel to a desk, and the soft handle finish ensures a strong grip.

The setup includes pedals that can be customised to suit the driver, so that they can operate independently of each other or can be combined to suit different games or a player’s driving style. Unlike most other driving wheels, the R660GT pedals accurately reflect the positioning of pedals in a real car, pivoted from the top rather than the bottom, whilst the brake offers more resistance than the accelerator.

The wheel also caters for gamers used to left- or right-hand drive cars with a semi-automatic gear shift lever that can be mounted on the side of the wheel, plus two, fingertip-controlled gear shift paddles.
