1. GET TO KNOW THE BASICS…
Thank you for purchasing Saitek’s new R100 USB Sports Wheel! For those of you who
have never connected a steering wheel to your PC before, you’re about to find out that no
other game controller can simulate the driving experi-
ence as well as a steering wheel/pedal combination. It’s
simply the perfect way to become part of the fast, furious
world of racing, and your games will never seem the
same again! As shown under
Features and Controls,
the
R100 boasts 2 fire buttons and 2 gearshift paddles,
conveniently located on the wheel for easy access. Also
offering USB port compatibility, this wheel has so many
options! Ergonomically styled, with a wide 160-degree
turning angle and 3 spokes for smooth steering, the R100 also features a sturdy clamping
system that will attach the steering wheel unit snugly to desks or tables from 0.5 to 2
inches (13 to 50 mm) thick. In addition, connecting the foot pedal unit provides you with
gas and brake pedals, making your driving experience even more fun and so much more
realistic!
