JANUARY 23, 2013 — With a new year of gaming brimming with long awaited releases and next generation peripherals, Gioteck aim to emulate the success of their previous PS3 controllers with the release of the FR-1 freedom steering wheel. Packed full of features aiming to offer a more realistic gaming experience, this wheel is set to be one of a kind with a lightweight design and exceptional functionality.
Ideal to accompany the biggest racing games including Need for Speed: Most Wanted and the recent F1 2012, the FR-1 PS3 steering wheel possesses the following features for a new era of racing gaming…
Rumble Feedback
Designed to allow you to experience every engine growl, bump and crash, the rumble feedback feature aims to create a more immersive driving experience than ever before. Offering a true in car feel, rumble feedback gets your adrenaline pumping and heart racing, allowing you to pull out your best performances when it matters the most.
Precise Nudge
Designed to give you that much needed helping hand as you venture a little too far from the tracks, the precise nudge feature is there to give you that extra grip when a turn of the wheel is just not enough. This feature is sure to come in handy in the toughest of corners through sharp chicanes and hairpin bends.
Ergonomic Design
Carefully crafted angled arms combined with a lightweight design ensure that stiff muscles are a thing of the past. The gently angled wheel arms co-operate perfectly with the feather light features and unique carbon styling of the FR-1 to ensure this wheel both looks and feel the part for a truly realistic driving experience.
Manual Shift
Yet another feature that delivers a realistic driving experience is the additional manual shift bumpers located to the rear of the steering wheel. Allowing you to swiftly move through your gears smoothly, the manual shift feature is sure to be essential for drag and sprint race enthusiasts.
Sensitivity Switch
This handy switch allows you to customise your wheel to game the way you want to avoid frustrating cases of over or under steering. Define the sensitivity to bring out the best performances at the most vital moments of all your races.
The FR-1 retails at around £39.99 and is available for a number of online retailers as well as high street stores. Check out the official Gioteck website for all of the latest news, reviews and product updates today.
