It provides the feel of being behind the wheel without the massive haul of simulationist gear.
Depending on how “hardcore” you want to be, an entire apparatus for a full-fledged gaming racing wheel and pedals is a must for any racing aficionado. Nothing will come close to a simulationist setup, but GameSir may have the answer to make racing with a controller feel far more tactile and, dare I say it, more enjoyable.
The GameSir Swift Drive, announced during CES 2026, is a surprisingly complete controller by itself. You’ve likely already noticed the giant steering wheel stuck into the center of the controller. When I first wrapped my hands around it, I expected to thumb a loose-feeling circle laid awkwardly in the middle of the device. In reality, the wheel hums with force feedback you usually get with high-end racing wheels. When a car rolls over gravel or rocky terrain, you’ll feel the push and pull of the wheel under your thumbs.
