5.1 Switching Rotation Angles (270°/900°)
The steering wheel features a one-button quick switch to toggle between 270-degree and 900-degree rotation angles. This allows you to adapt the wheel's sensitivity to different game types:
- 270° Rotation: Ideal for fast-paced racing games that require quick, agile turning.
- 900° Rotation: Simulates the full rotation of a real car's steering wheel, perfect for simulation games like truck or bus simulators.

The included 6+R manual shifter simulates authentic gear changes. It also features a button-style handbrake for added realism in racing scenarios.
