GameSir put a tiny force feedback steering wheel on its new Swift Drive controller
"GameSir is no stranger to experimenting with unique controller features - its Tarantula Pro can automatically swap its face button labels to accommodate alternate layouts, and its Pocket 1 clamps Game Boy controls onto your phone. What sets its new Swift Drive controller apart is a small steering wheel located smack-dab in the middle of the gamepad that's connected to what GameSir calls the "world's smallest direct drive motor" providing force feedback effects for racing games."
"The steering wheel uses a "high-precision" Hall effect encoder with "up to 65,000 levels of resolution for ultra-accurate steering." Its movement can be adjusted between 30 to 1080-degrees of rotation, and the wheel itself can be removed and swapped with alternate styles. Hall effect sensors are also used in the Swift Drive's joysticks and buttons, while its triggers are further enhanced with individual haptic motors to simulate the feeling of ABS braking and wheel slip."
GameSir's Swift Drive integrates a small, removable steering wheel into a handheld gamepad driven by the "world's smallest direct drive motor" to provide force feedback for racing games. The wheel uses a high-precision Hall effect encoder with up to 65,000 levels of resolution and supports adjustable rotation between 30 and 1080 degrees. Hall effect sensors are used in joysticks and buttons, and individual haptic motors in the triggers simulate ABS braking and wheel slip. The controller connects over 2.4GHz wireless and offers 20–30 hours of battery life. GameSir's Turbo Drive adds a yoke-style wheel, pedals, and a turbine fan; fan-on battery life is about 15 hours.
