Saitek Industries, Los Angeles, released a new PC Racing Wheel in the
fall of 1999. For about $50, you can forget about trying to drive your
race car games with the keyboard or mouse and grab onto a real steering
wheel. This good looking wheel is a serious alternative to the high-priced
wheels.
The R100 offers outstanding quality for an affordable price and is one
of the most sophisticated and realistic wheels in its class. The easy to
use desk clamp allows you to quickly attach the wheel to your computer
desk. A brake and gas pedal unit is also included.
On the wheel are two fire buttons and gear shift paddles to easily
control your favorite racing game.
"Good quality racing wheels are difficult to find with a small
budget," said Nicholas Gibbons, chief operating officer of Saitek in
the United States. "Once gamers get their hands on the R100, they
will be amazed with the styling and the handling. We're using an advanced
ball cam mechanism, rather than the cheap rubber bands used by our
competitors," Gibbons said.
