— the most popular type of power supply in wired format manipulators (see "Type of connection"): energy comes from the same USB connector that is used to connect to the gaming device.This format of work allows you to do without unnecessary wires and provide maximum freedom of movement, which is generally possible with a wired connection. The only downside to USB power is its relatively low power, which may not be enough to power advanced feedback systems (see "Features"). However, such systems are rarely used — in separate premium steering wheels; in other cases, the USB connector is enough to power the controller.
Also note that this power supply method is also found in separate wireless models — usually controllers for mobile devices that interact with the gadget via Bluetooth, and are powered from the USB port of the same gadget. This format of operation allows you to do without batteries in the controller itself, however, it additionally consumes the charge of the main device.
