Ps3 steering wheel question ???
To all PS3 owners a question.
Will a USB PS3 steering wheel and pedals work on a PC ? The reason I ask is a new business called Liquadators 4 Less inc here locally has 4 pallets of PS3 wheels for sale at $34.00 per wheel. If they will work on PC also I want to buy one for a friend for B-Day. |

Some PC gear works for PS3, don't know the other way around. Don't have a PS3 to test with... nor a steerring wheel for that matter.
Guess it depends on the model, should be indicated on the box what it supports, or do a web-search for brand+model. Only thing I can think off.

Maybe you can convince them to tear open a box and have a look at the docs or something. Should be noted somewhere what platform(s) it supports.
Heck, they should be able to tell you about their products in the first place.

My 2 favorite words.
From what I can tell it's actually PC gear, but might work just as well on PS3. A lot of the FF stuff does.

[quote=FIREWALL;1121146]This wheel is purely PC. The earlier posted PS3 wheel was by box PS3.

Better than handing over a gift-certificate for a bookstore, I'm sure.

Effectively, there is no difference between a PS3 USB Wheel/Pedals and the same designed/marketed for a PC. The same is true for Joysticks, keyboards, mice and other PNP peripherals. For a set to be PS3 compatible, it means that it has no additional or 3rd party drivers, so it is true Plug N Play. If they work on the PS3 then they will work on a PC, providing the software supports it. Do you have a make or model number you can link us to? We might be able to confirm it 100%. I would be wary of unbranded PS3 peripherals. If they are worth it, the company will be traceable and have support documentation.
