I've been playing some gyroscope based racing games on my phone and thought it would be cool to have a physical steering wheel to hold.

Since I already have a magsafe ring stuck to the back of my OnePlus Open I designed it to use magnets.

Functionally it makes the games way easier to play since you can really precisely tilt the phone. You can even steer one-handed pretty easily too

The magnets I used are a little weak so I'll be replacing that with another stronger magnet ring I have

What games are you playing ?

[–] 4lan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So far RealRacing 3 & Riptide 2

open to suggestions!! It's best with games that are gyro-only controlled.
I bet those ball-maze gryo puzzles would be great with the wheel as a grip

There's a Need for Speed phone app that works that way. It's alright.
