When I was a kid, I was really into driving games, started off with Mario Kart and Stunt Race FX on the SNES, later moved onto F1 World Grand Prix on the N64, for which I had one of these bad boys.
You put your legs either side of the wheel to hold it in place. It wasn't very good at all if I'm being honest. Even at the time, 9 year old me thought it wasn't great.
So during covid, I saw that V3 pictured above being sold on facebook marketplace for 20chf (swissbux), and thought I could do better. Started off with a Logitech G29 and ended up with this:
Yes, cable management is not great, but I'm in a relatively small apartment, so gotta wedge it in a corner, but it's my corner, the Corner of Speed
I also loved racing games as a kid and my first purchase after I moved out was a g29 lmao.
I'd love to have a simrig and could probably afford one nowadays, but space is really big issue when living in an apartment. I don't really have a free corner to put it in like you.
