"It features a compact steering wheel at the center of an otherwise typical controller design. It's also got force feedback, tech usually found in (full-size!) steering wheel controllers. GameSir says it has a "high precision" Hall Effect encoder built in for "ultra-accurate" steering. You will be able to adjust the steering range from 30 to 1080 degrees, but you'd likely want to keep it high - it's the entire point of this controller."
"On the show floor at CES, I drove a big rig in a demonstration area that was stripped down to wireframe ramps and curved surfaces. The force-feedback is powerful and it's a surprisingly satisfying driving experience as I wheeled around, rotating the steering wheel with both thumbs. The steering wheel can also be customized with different plates. It felt like a miniaturized steering-wheel controller and would lock out when I oversteered or stopped."
GameSir's Swift Drive replaces traditional thumbstick steering with a compact central steering wheel featuring force feedback and a Hall Effect encoder for precise, ultra-accurate input. Steering range is adjustable between 30 and 1080 degrees, and the controller uses Hall-effect sensors on joysticks and buttons plus per-trigger haptic motors to simulate wheel slip and braking. RGB lights across the top display in-game RPMs. Demonstrations at CES delivered powerful force-feedback and a satisfying driving feel, with the wheel customizable via different plates and an auto-lock when oversteering or stopping. Battery life is estimated at 20–30 hours. Sales expected later this year; price unannounced.
