How to choose the best Nintendo Wii steering wheel?

Since these Nintendo Wii accessories come in many shapes, sizes, and functionalities, there’s no wonder that you might have trouble picking a driving wheel that’s best for you. If you can’t choose right away, consider these factors before buying one:

• Price. The wheel market offers both high-end models, which are, naturally, more expensive, and simpler ones that won’t make a huge dent in your wallet. The key aspect here is what games are you going to use them for. If you’re more of a casual player who wants easier control, then a cheap Wii steering wheel is going to be enough, but if you expect realistic handling and are planning on playing ultra-realistic racing games, then the obvious choice is a high-end model;
• Comfortability. Some models come with wheels covered in either leather or pleather, others come with no extra padding. Not all of these devices include a clutch or even pedals, and not every steering wheel includes a bunch of programmable buttons or adjustable parts. Decide what aspects are necessary for the best experience and choose accordingly;
• Force feedback. Different wheels have different kinds of force feedback. Gear drive. This is the oldest kind – the wheel shaft is attached to the gears that connect the main force feedback motor. While it does amplify torque, it’s a much noisier system that sometimes jolts imprecisely. Belt drive. The most common kind – the wheel shaft is attached to the belts that connect the main force feedback motor. They are more precise and quieter but because the belts are made out of rubber, they absorb some of the feedback before it reaches the wheel. Direct drive. This kind has the wheel mounted directly to the motor. They have no delay or loss of torque but they tend to be the most expensive kind.
