1. A LOOK AT THE BASICS
Congratulations on your purchase of Saitek's RX500 Racing Wheel, a new and exciting
product that will change the way you view racing games! The RX500's full analog buttons
provide the smoothest, most precise drive ever, and its analog gas and brake pedals offer
realistic and extremely accurate speed controls. The pedals also feature an extended foot rest
for total driving comfort, allowing you to rest your entire foot on the non-slip base. In addition,
the extra-long cable gives you lots of room to play!
The RX500 was designed for the Sony PlayStation®2 video game console, but it's also
compatible with the PS one™ and PlayStation®. As shown under Features and Controls, the
RX500 boasts 8 buttons, 2 Formula-1 style shifters, and an analog D-Pad, all conveniently
located on the wheel for easy access. In addition, the DoubleShock 2 rumble effect provides
great sensory feedback—you'll think you're actually out on the road! Ergonomically styled, with
a wide turning angle and a natural self-centering system, the RX500 also offers a sturdy clamp
that attaches the wheel unit to desks or tables from
