“We realized that full-sized steering wheels were simply wasting space that could be used for more RGB lighting,” explained Lead Designer Chip Solder. “Since our Pocket 1 successfully clamped controls onto phones, we decided the next logical step was a dedicated steering axis that fits entirely under a fingernail. It is about efficiency, not comfort.”

Sarah Knuckles, a line cook attempting to play a racing simulator in the restaurant breakroom, struggled to maintain control while wearing custom-knitted two-finger driving gloves. “I tried to merge lanes, but the wheel is so sensitive that a single heartbeat sent my car into a concrete wall,” she said, rubbing her cramped hand. “I spent forty minutes just trying to parallel park in the tutorial using a jeweler’s loupe.”

At press time, GameSir announced a firmware update that increases the wheel’s force feedback torque enough to cleanly shatter a user’s thumb bone if they hit a curb.

Inspired by GameSir put a tiny force feedback steering wheel on its new Swift Drive controller.
