Derek Speare Designs T500RS Wheel Adapter Review

One of the greatest aspects of the Sim Racing community are the modders, be it the sim modder that adds cars and tracks on the software side, or the hardware modder, looking to enhance our connection to the virtual road.

One of the more famous modders is Derek Speare. He makes a wide variety of components in the industry, ranging from button boxes, to shifter enhancements, to adapters that allow you to put a real life steering wheel on your T500RS or Logitech G25/27!

This month I purchased the T500RS Wheel Adapter, and we'll now see how the adapter works, and how it changes your experience!

Derek Speare Designs 2014 Track Boss (P)Review!

One of the greatest things about Sim Racing is that we get to place ourselves into the seats of many cars that we may never see, let alone sit in, in real life. However, one of the largest caveats is that we don't have the level of immersion that is sitting in the real life counterpart. Many actions that are second nature in a real car are simulated by button presses. The problem is, there are only so many buttons that can be on a wheel (I believe the Logitech G27 carries the largest button count, tipping the scales at 14 buttons and a directional pad). To get the most out of your simulation, you'll need more.
