4.3 Connecting to Gaming Platforms

The PXN V900 GEN2 racing wheel supports multiple platforms. Connection methods may vary:

5.1 Steering Rotation Modes (270°/900°)

The PXN V900 GEN2 offers two steering rotation modes:

• 900° Mode: Provides a more realistic driving experience, suitable for simulation games like truck simulators.

To switch between modes, locate the mode switch button on the wheel base. Pressing this button will toggle between 270° and 900° rotation. The current mode is typically indicated by an LED or on-screen display if supported by the game/app.
