Today we look at one of the most unique controllers to hit the market. From the combined partnership of SteelSeries and Simraceway, the SRW-S1 is a full-range throttle and brake controller that gives you steering, shift, and pedal controls in your hands with precision accelerometers and no peddles! With more than 30 buttons and indicator lights, read on to see if the SRW-S1 makes your PC racing simulator more realistic.
It may be quite rare but as technology progresses once in a while the industry comes up with some pretty amazing devices which in a way rewrite what we know about things. Something like that for example happened when SSDs finally reached the consumer market around 5 years ago (enterprise class MLC SSDs have been around since 2002) and also when FullHD (1080p) compatible media like the HD-DVD by Toshiba and Blu-Ray by SONY were released offering unprecedented image and audio quality. Well todays review may not be for something as important as the above but it revolves around the latest Simraceway SRW-S1 controller by SteelSeries, one of the most innovative and advanced devices i have used for a long time.
Hardcore PC racing simulator enthusiasts would argue that there is no alternative to a force feedback wheel and pedals, and they might be right, but not everybody has $300+ to fork out on an expensive setup. At the same time not everyone is contempt either being a keyboard racer or having to make do with a sub-par wheel or console style game controller. This is where SteelSeries and Ignite Game Technologies come into play. Together they have developed the SteelSeries Simraceway SRW-S1 motion sensitive steering wheel. A wheel that bridges the gap between console style game controllers and high end wheel/pedal setups, and it is available now from the SteelSeries web shop for $119.99 MSRP. Out of the box it is setup to work with Ignite's 'Simraceway' online racing simulator for the PC, but SteelSeries state that it will work with just about any racing game designed for the PC. Here at Benchmark Reviews we take marketing claims at face value and we ! always leave our judgement to real world testing, but if looks are anything to go by then we are in for one hell of a treat.
Today we'll be putting the Spectrum 5XB through its paces and seeing if it up holds the usual high standard we have come to expect from SteelSeries equipment and whether it is an ideal solution for XBOX 360 owners.
Not everyone that visits this humble review site is a PC gamer, some of them… actually play on consoles. I know I know, travesty, but what can you do? So since we’re good corporate stooges, today here’s a review of a console peripheral, the Steelseries Spectrum 5XB.
SteelSeries have a long track record of delivering quality products so we were very much looking forward to reviewing the new 7XB. Now almost seven months later and we finally have our hands on it.
Is the age of wireless gaming finally here? Today we look at SteelSeries' first wireless headset, the SteelSeries Spectrum 7xb, based on their very successful SteelSeries 7h. Even though the Spectrum 7xb headsets are built especially for Microsoft Xbox 360 users, how well do they work for other consoles and the PC? Read on to get our take!
The Spectrum 7XB Wireless Headset may be the first XBOX 360 compatible wireless headset by SteelSeries but thanks to its very good build quality, excellent audio clarity, good wireless range and range of features you will have a very hard time believing that.
Recently we looked at the Spectrum 5XB, SteelSeries’ first attempt at an Xbox 360 gaming headset …. essentially their 5H headset with a clever adapter which allowed you to plug it into an Xbox controller for Xbox Live chat. Not to rest on their laurels, the SteelSeries’ boffins have been working hard behind the scenes to develop a new Xbox headset with a number of exciting features.
Many companies have been doing the cross over between console and PC headsets, and Steelseries are no exception. We’ve previously looked at their 5XB headset and wern’t hugely impressed. Let’s see if the revamped and bigger brother, the 7XB performs better.
