Ps3 steering wheel question ???
 
To all PS3 owners a question.

Will a USB PS3 steering wheel and pedals work on a PC ?

The reason I ask is a new business called Liquadators 4 Less inc here locally has 4 pallets of PS3 wheels for sale at $34.00 per wheel.

If they will work on PC also I want to buy one for a friend for B-Day.

Some PC gear works for PS3, don't know the other way around. Don't have a PS3 to test with... nor a steerring wheel for that matter. :)

Guess it depends on the model, should be indicated on the box what it supports, or do a web-search for brand+model. Only thing I can think off.

Thx Arclight :salute: Box gives no info that I could see at store. I will have to go back and get model # off of it.

I should have wrote it down in the first place :doh: :damn: :haha:

Maybe you can convince them to tear open a box and have a look at the docs or something. Should be noted somewhere what platform(s) it supports. :hmmm:

Heck, they should be able to tell you about their products in the first place. :yep:

My 2 favorite words. :salute:

From what I can tell it's actually PC gear, but might work just as well on PS3. A lot of the FF stuff does. :yep:

This wheel is purely PC. The earlier posted PS3 wheel was by box PS3.

Got a better wheel for a better price by accident. :woot::woot::woot:

Hello.:salute:

Effectively, there is no difference between a PS3 USB Wheel/Pedals and the same designed/marketed for a PC.;) The same is true for Joysticks, keyboards, mice and other PNP peripherals.

For a set to be PS3 compatible, it means that it has no additional or 3rd party drivers, so it is true Plug N Play.

If they work on the PS3 then they will work on a PC, providing the software supports it.

Do you have a make or model number you can link us to? We might be able to confirm it 100%. I would be wary of unbranded PS3 peripherals. If they are worth it, the company will be traceable and have support documentation.

Hi Dan :) I sure wish I could have talked to you Saturday.

I consider you the Master of PS3 and all info. :yep:

This Liqidation 4 Less warehouse I have acess to has 4 pallets of PS3 80GB @ $189.00 and a couple of pallets of PS3 usb steering wheels @ $34.00


Will pm all info I have.
