I've been signed up on Simraceway for a while now, I just thought to log in to see what's changed as I haven't checked for ages and I saw the SRW-S1 wheel. In case you don't know, it's an F1-style wheel but it's literally just the wheel, there's no steering column or anything beyond the wheel. Actually I could just post a link, couldn't I? http://www.simraceway.com/srw-s1_steering_wheel?locale=en
So I saw it, and I got thinking about the possibilities of modding it to mount it on a FFB wheel base like a G27 or DFGT, maybe. I'm guessing someone will have thought of this before as it's quite obvious, so has anyone done it or seen it done somewhere? At $120 (£100 on Amazon) it's not cheap cheap, but not too expensive either.
I reckon if you had one of these, an SLI-M and a cheap-ish Logitech wheel, you could make something pretty decent that would work with any PC sim, not just Simraceway. Personally I think you'd have to be a bit mad to pay £100 for a controller for a game (or sim, maybe) that costs nothing, but at the same time a controller like this is a pretty good idea as it's the complete opposite to a sim cockpit yet gives you everything you need to race. You just wouldn't want to use it for extended periods and when you look at it closely you'll see that most of the buttons are for pointless fripperies like driving assists and steering sensitivity, which most people tend to touch once and then leave well alone.
Still, it's hard to find F1-style wheel rims that aren't ludicrously expensive, I just wonder what the quality of the finish is like.
