The Type S wheel's design has been born of a desire to manufacture a high end, simulator quality wheel that has all the functions and build quality of a real race wheel, but at a much more realistic cost. Based on a real, race legal, alloy framed 'formula' wheel that is then heavily modified by us to fit the G25 and to accommodate our especially designed plate. The Type S wheel features the 'Formula wheel' itself, an SLI-Pro display, six momentary buttons, plus 2 more shielded buttons/switches at the top of the wheel. Below are four rotary encoders that also have built in momentary buttons, giving a total of 20 inputs (including the encoders) all housed in one of our beautiful wheel plates.
