SteelSeries are well-known for their gaming mice, keyboards, headsets and mouse pads but now, they have ventured into the world of racing with the release of the new Simraceway SRW-S1 Steering Wheel. The new steering wheel is the result of their collaboration with the developer of Simraceway – an online simulation racing game – Ignite Game Technologies.

The SRW-S1 is rather an unusual release though compared to the usual racing wheel that are available in the market as the SRW-S1’s doesn’t actually floor pedals but instead, its throttle and brake paddle system are integrated directly to the steering wheel. In addition to that, the SRW-S1 also uses motion-sensor technology which means there is no need to mount the steering wheel on a table as per norm.

Other than that, the SRW-S1 is also equipped with more than 20 on-wheel buttons and dials for easy access to race settings together as well as a shift indicator LED. Even though the wheel is developed for Simraceway, the plug-and-play SRW-S1 is compatible with most racing games out there.

The exact availability of the new Simraceway SRW-S1 Steering Wheel in Malaysia is not known for now but one can expect the price to be around RM 384 (USD 119.99). For further information, head on to www.steelseries.com or their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SteelSeriesMalaysia.
