Ps3 steering wheel question ???

FIREWALL · 06-19-09, 12:50 PM

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.

I guess I will have to check this out somewhere else.

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

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

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.

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

Problem Solved.

Saitek R440 FF Wheel & Pedals New in box $30.00

They have 3 of them on a bottom shelf.

If I didn't have a G25 I'd by one for me.

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.

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

Got a better wheel for a better price by accident.

Better than handing over a gift-certificate for a bookstore, I'm sure.

I still would like to know if a PS3 usb wheel & pedals will work on a PC ?

Hello.

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.
