Features Of The PS3 Racing Wheel
The racing wheel is among the items that are standard fare for some people who play racing games on their gaming consoles. There has been a lot of talk regarding why the PS3 racing wheel has no force feedback capability. Many have been disappointed when the news regarding the PS3 racing wheel had no force feedback, unlike the previous ones.
The Reason For The Disappointment
The reason why the PS3 racing wheel has no force feedback is because the force feedback will interfere with the motion sensor features of the gaming console. The motion sensitive feature that most PS3 game controllers have is relatively new and featured in the PlayStation 3 only. This new feature helps gamers maneuver the game well just by moving the controller as well as using the controller without the use or wires and cables to connect to the device.
Saving The Accessory
In spite of the initial warning that the PS3 racing wheel might have no force feedback and will inevitably feel like you are just steering on a smooth marble floor, some manufacturers of PS3 accessories have managed to go about making a PS3 racing wheel that can feature the force feedback and yet still function with the PlayStation 3 device. Logitech is one of the PS3 accessories manufacturers and developers that have gotten around to meeting the demands of the consumers regarding having a realistic feel to racing games.
Some of the manufacturers are using USB to overturn the motion sensitivity of the device and have better control of the PlayStation. Some of the PS3 racing wheels that have successfully been used for the PlayStation 3 might have had the USB cable connected to the device from the controller. Although cable and wires may be inconvenient for those who use the common PS3 dual shock controller, a fixed PS3 racing wheel does not need much movement.
The PS3 racing wheel is a most ingenious device that allows the player to feel like he is really driving a car at extremely high speeds with help of the force feedback rumble of vibration that occurs when the car hits road bumps an other obstacles, turns corners and goes faster. The initial issue regarding the interference between the motion sensitivity of the device and the effect of the force feedback has been solved by some by eliminating motion sensitivity with the use of the USB to connect the PS3 racing wheel to the device.
