How does this thing steer? does it attach to something or does it use an accelerometer? and will it work with most racing games?

It uses an accelerometer. It works with most PC games I have tried. It is possible to be as fast with this as it is with other more 'conventional' wheels.

It does not attach to anything. It uses an internal accelerometer kind of like a Wii remote. It has worked in every game I have tried it in. You have to manually map the controls but it works great.

It uses an accelerometer, but I've seen setups where people attached it to the column of other steering wheels. The accelerometer is alright, in my opinion. It's not a high end wheel since no feedback, but it's nicer to use than a gamepad, or worse, mouse and keyboard. As for games, I tried it out with F1 2013, F1 2014, TDU2, Race 07, GTR Evolution, and DiRT 3, and they all worked fine after setting the controls to what I wanted.

Accelerometers, just like your smartphone. Works with anything that goes on 2 axis as well as I can tell. I occasionally use it in Euro Truck Simulator with some of the features dialed back. The dial and shift functions may or may not work with some games, but they've worked with everything I threw at it. Problem is your arms get tired unless you rest your elbows in your lap. There was rumors of a pivoting stand that plugged into the center hole in the back, but I've never been able to find one.

It uses an accelerometer that maps the rotation axis. It will work with most racing games but you will have to set up the controllers manually on most. There is a download available that let's the rpm leds work with games that supports them.

It work with RC5, RC3, V800. It is MUCH MORE ACCURATE than a sport tracker. It analized everything.

It has triggers but when I use them for drifting in Mario kart 64 they do not register as being held down for a long time. They press accurately as a button but not for long holds.

Works either with supported games (see manufacturer's site for the list) or, with a beta driver, with any application as mouse\keyboard\joystick emulator (i.e. you'll have to set it up so that each action, i.e. panning, corresponds to keyboard keypress or mouse action such as click\scroll). Finding the beta driver and setting it up might be considered complicated by non-professionals and tedious by everyone. I'd recommend using it for its primary purpose (3D navigation in natively supported software), where it shines. There's an alternate opinion in the following review, where the device's use in Battlefield and some other games is demonstrated and said to be convenient (watch after 05:00): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pAMne1eeTQ I'd recomment using dedicated game controllers for games, though. If you can afford this one, you'll also be able to afford them.

It's a head tracker. This mounts to the top of your monitor, and comes with a reflective clip that attaches to a hat or headset. Infrared lights shine out from the sensor, bounce off of the reflectors, and are used to track head movement. This can then be used in any compatible games (Flight sims and racing sims especially) and will allow the ingame camera to match the movements of your head.

You steer the boat with the controller. Like a video game. The boat is very fast and can turn on a dime. Takes very little water. I have two of these thinking I would wear out the first and need a spare. Not so. I did break off a propeller once. Bought a bunch extras but that was the only time. This boat is a definate BUY. Oh, the person whose boat sank . . . must have put a rock on it. My boat turns into a submarine sometimes when I turn into a rapid flow of water, but it always shoots to the top like a sailfish.

I have had no problems with this working in any racing game or simulator. While most newer games will recognize it older ones may require you to customize your key bindings but should still work.

It's about a foot long. It's fast but pulls to the right and I wouldn't suggest using for street racing. It's not high performance enough.

Thank you very much for your answer. Did not know I needed an "access controller" sense my new head unit says it allows steering wheel control-ability. Will look into purchasing one. Thank you.

I bought this to play the old NASCAR game, Dirt to Daytona, on the PS2 since it was one of the best ones ever. I had my Logitech G27 hooked up and noticed no lag while I was playing. My son has played some old games as well without any complaints either. Worked for our needs.

im not sure if this game support any racing wheels because if not a driving simulator man, i play this game with pad controller and respond very good... greetings.

On second thought, I think it does steer -- front wheels broad enough to keep it from tipping. Had it confused with another riding toy my grandson has ... sorry!

If your going to use on the trainer you will need to get the wheel mount pickup. I use it on the road but with heart rate monitor but it is tracking all my distance and speed using GPS.

Yes it will go reverseThe control is a foot pedal with a steering wheel. The steering wheel has buttons on it for music and different sound effects. It also will move with control input from a controller like a Toy RC car or a video game type controller, that part is why I would have bought it alone and not just for my godson lol You will have more fun driving it around with them in it. Also if they are getting crazy or you need them to come back to you, you can drive them back. The lights turn on when it moves. Hope this helped!

It doesn't have a rudder. The steering is accomplished by applying differential power to two rotors (nothing you would need to explicitly need to bother with, its just how your left/right turn actions on the transmitter are translated into...), and elevators.

I use it for Elite Dangerous and it works great.I also use it for "Star Citizen"if you haven't heard it, it check it out on youtube.
