Glossary

Steering wheel size

The size of a gaming steering wheel usually refers to the diameter of the wheel in round and D-shaped forms and affects the realism of control, rotation speed, and grip comfort. Compact wheels, around 20 – 24 cm, are more common in simple models and are suitable for arcade racing but feel less realistic. A size of 27 – 30 cm is considered more versatile and closer to an actual car steering wheel, making it convenient for simulators, GT, rally, and everyday play. Larger wheels, 31 – 35 cm, are more often used in advanced setups, especially for trucking simulators, drifts, or the most realistic seating.

For formula wheels or steering wheels with a cut-off shape, the size is more often indicated by the maximum width between the outermost grip points.

Compatibility

Compatibility shows which devices a gaming wheel can work with: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch or specific console generations. It is important to check this parameter before purchasing because a PC wheel does not always fit a console, and models for PlayStation and Xbox often have different versions (PS3, PS4, PS5) due to the proprietary license and electronics inside the base.

Special attention should be given to steering wheels that have specific compatibility with bases. In most cases, all bases from the brand are suitable, but it is better to confirm this additionally.

Total number of buttons

The total number of buttons provided in the manipulator's design.

The more buttons, the more additional functions can be "assigned" to the manipulator, reducing the likelihood of having to use other control devices (e.g., a PC keyboard) during gameplay. However, many gaming consoles (see "Platform Compatibility") require a certain minimum number of buttons for a compatible gamepad — having fewer buttons would simply not allow full use of all the console functions. For instance, the standard controller for the PlayStation 4 has 11 buttons.

Note that the D-Pad manipulator (see below) is not counted in this calculation: it is considered a specific control device, although it is based on buttons.
