Or, and hear me out on this, you get a steering controller

That’s cool and all, unless you use X to downshift, A to hit the e-brake, and right thumbstick to turn the camera. Other than that though...

I've seen super tiny wheels that drive the steering wheel for disabled people, looks similar but not

7 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 0

I think the tiny wheel would be hard to control with a finger. You could do that but make the wheel much bigger. Call it a “steering wheel”

7 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

That way you could get a good grip on it with you whole hand. Dunno if it’ll catch on though. Might be tough

Due to the fact it renders the rest of the controller useless, I can think of no valid applications for this.

I'm more concerned that it doesn't actually move the joy stick straight sideways.

The application is "Be wealthy, use a 3D printer for purposes it wasn't intended for, and get internet fame". That's about it.

How is this not what a 3D printer is for?

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

3d printers are best suited for one-off run prototypes, readied for casting in other materials

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

..and rapid manufacturing, custom solutions, medical (including biomed) etc. I don't think "one-off-prototyping" is even a top 5 use for 3d printers. I use mine for custom parts and trinkets / miniatures / etc people request.

Also mutes the vibrations for tyre/road feel if it needs to be held like this..

This has potential though.

Use it with An elite controller?

Also feels like too narrow a range of angles for most serious racing games that justify having anything like this

Doesn't block the triggers for gas/brake or shoulders for up/down shifting. Looks like it's perfect for racing games. What do you mean?

luckily, up and down usually do absolutely nothing in racing games, so the y travel is moot.

I find it's easier to turn the car, not to mention less tiring on my thumb, by pushing the stick up and using an arc.

7 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

That would be more force on your thumb and therefore tire it out faster

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

This would provide the same effect.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

But you don't need that if you have the steering wheel

Nice, thats basically you making a custom force curve. Whatever works.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Most racing games only need the 2 triggers in the back and that thumb stick.

Only the 2 triggers? But how do you hit the accelerate & brake buttons on the face then?

Then you have to take your finger off the gas or brake to shift. X for down and B for up is the only way to go.
