HKS have launched a new controller designed especially for driving games, featuring a thumb-controlled steering wheel, mini brake and accelerator pedals and a speedometer. This revolutionary racing product for gamers was unveiled at the E3 electronic entertainment expo.
HKS have had the analogue sticks removed from a typical PS3 pad and replaced them with a ‘thumb-controlled steering wheel, leaving just the required left and right movements for steering. This will aid those finding their thumbs slip off the sticks during races on the standard controller.
Had a call from a young chap today, he’s got a Mitsubishi Colt CZT Turbo, which he thinks is a great car. He is keen to modify the car, but it’s one of those vehicles that is hard to find good special parts for. They’re popular in Japan, but only sold in small numbers in UK/EU. Plus there are some differences between JDM and EU versions (such as they don’t have 3 door versions in Japan – it’s a European thing! Also he was a little shocked by some of the prices for parts from Mitsubishi.
