For racing game fanatics there is no more coveted item than the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel. Truly it was a racer’s dream, and a peripheral on par with Logitech’s craftsmanship. It was wireless, had a 270° steering radius, force feedback, and sturdy construction. Sadly the wheel has been out of production for some time. The only way to find one new is to scour the depths of the internet in hopes of finding one hiding in some corner of Amazon, eBay, or some other commerce site.

But in the wake of racers’ sadness comes simplified hope: The Wireless Speed Wheel. Sure, it’s certainly not a hardcore device, but it looks to be much more robust then Nintendo’s “stick the wiimote in the middle of a plastic circle” solution. It features rumble feedback plus the slick D-Pad/face button combos right at the top. Plus it actually looks like a racing wheel, which adds to the cool factor. Gas and brake are presumably handled by the triggers found on the underside of the grips. Finally racing fans have some renewed hope. Learn more about it in the abbreviated press release after the jump.
