The sequential gearlevers mounted on the base feature large 6.7" levers that are constantly accessible without letting go of the wheel. The wheel itself offers a remarkable 1080 degree rotation. These 3 full turns are also adjustable, thanks to a motorized stop, allowing the gamer choose the maximum degree of rotation according to the type of racing circuit and the car being driven.Professional Quality Rotary Knobs, Switches and Action ButtonsThe extensive built-in equipment--rotary knobs, switches and action buttons--boasts professional quality, enabling each driver to make precision adjustments according to his own racing style and the conditions on the track. The racing wheel offers two rotary encoder switches (allowing direct, on-the-track optimization of the car's race settings), eight push-buttons (with a 6.5 N dual-detent pressure), three 4.5 N metal switches with 3 positions and an automatic centering feature, two 2.5 N 8-directional D-Pads, and two up/down shifters.

F1 cars are designed with raw power, and the Ferrari F1 Wheel Integral T500 rises to the challenge with a built-in industrial-class engine delivering impressive force feedback effects. Its wide internal dual belt combines smoothness and flexibility. The device's built-in H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology offers extreme precision along with a constant, long-lasting 16-bit resolution (65,536 values throughout the wheel's steering range).Built with H.E.A.R.T. TechnologyFans of even the most intense racing experience know that power alone does not allow them to achieve the best performance. With this in mind, the Thrustmaster Ferrari F1 Wheel Integral T500 provides total precision which never decreases over time. It employs the same technology developed for the world's latest benchmark flight stick, Thrustmaster's HOTAS WARTHOG. The magnetic sensor-based H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) is incorporated into the wheel's steering mechanism. As a result the wheel is super-precise with 16-bit resolution and 65536 values on its steering axis.Metal Pedals with Two Driving PositionsThe spacing and height of the 100% metal pedal set is also fully adjustable and accommodate individual driving preferences by offering 2 positions: "floor-mounted" F1 style, or "suspended" GT style. The brake pedal has been given extra attention, with reinforced and adjustable resistance that lets users perfectly tailor their braking with near surgical precision, and which includes a removable mod. A textured foot rest, also crafted entirely of metal, completes the pedal set. Gamers will notice that having 3 pedals at their disposal not only enhances the level of realism, but it also gives them a taste of what's to come with the addition of an independent gear stick (sold separately).Two Available Game ModesWhen it comes to system compatibility, 2 game modes are available: a PC- and PS3-compatible normal mode (offering 13 action buttons and 3 D-Pads, with 17 programmable functions) and an advanced PC-compatible mode (offering 25 action buttons and 1 D-Pad, with 29 programmable functions).
