The SRW-S1's buttons allow for a lot of customization of the gaming experience
The SRW-S1 provides no force feedback
The SRW-S1 is uniquely suited for gamers looking for hardware that looks just like an F1 wheel. Unfortunately, it doesn't perform as well as other wheels in terms of design and handling, and because it's compatible only with PCs, it is only useful to a sm...
Regarding the supplied software, there is not a lot to say; from the SteelSeries website we can download only a small utility that enables RPM LED indication. Of course, the games we play also need to support this feature, otherwise the LEDs won’t lig...
Easy to install, Easy to configure, Comfortable grip, Works on a lot of racing games, Overall very cool looking, Saves space
Learning curve, No Force Feedback
This steering wheel feels very durable and solid overall, I bet my kid could play around with it without damaging it. Both sides have rubber grips which feel comfortable even after a longer gaming session, although my arms got tired. Since it has no h...
So, back to the question: “why would anyone want this?”. Well, if you really, really like Simraceway; don't have a wheel, don't want to use a pad and you wouldn't rather spend the same money on a fantastic Logitech Driving Force GT, you might be intereste...
Abstract: I never ate spinach as a child. Despite years of parental threats and cumulative hours spent staring at it on my plate as I was forced to “sit there until I tried it,” I simply could not get over the idea that I would hate it. Popeye’s amazing cartoon ...
Abstract: While I enjoy the occasional racing game, I tend to prefer arcade style over strict simulation. In other words, I'm not exactly looking for excuses to go out and buy a high-end wheel that'll suplex my bank account. Thankfully, we have Dale on staff t...

SteelSeries and Simraceway have delivered a high-quality controller that anyone who appreciates racing sims will love. Not only is the Simraceway controller packaged with a robust on-line game, but the SRW-S1’s ability to work with popular games suc...
Very sensitive to movement, Good tactile response from buttons and gear shift paddles, Brake and accelerator are pressure sensitive, Very authentic looking, Very comfortable to hold, Excellent build quality and finish, Adequately weighted (not to heavy or light),
Only fully functional in Simraceway, Free floating design increases fatigue, Steep learning curve, Shift LED's are extremely bright, Not something you could really use for an extended period of time
In this section I am going to write a brief five point summary on the following categories; Performance, Appearance, Construction, Functionality and Value. These views are my own and help me to give the SteelSeries SRW-S1 Steering Wheel a rating out o...

Simple Setup, Very solid design, 15 buttons, Dpad, and four paddles are all customizable, Should work with any PC racing game, Steering Sensitivity knob for convenient ingame changes, Great degree of control in both the wheel and paddles
While the SRW-S1 Steering Wheel is somewhat pricey at $119.99, I think it's well worth it. The smooth precision you get when controlling the direction, speed and breaking of your virtual car can't be matched by traditional game controllers. With all of th...
