Overview
- The Codename: Swift Drive prototype integrates a thumb-operated steering disc powered by a direct-drive motor to deliver wheel-style force feedback.
- Engadget’s show-floor test described strong, responsive feedback and a working unit that could lock out when the driver oversteered.
- GameSir lists a high-precision Hall-effect encoder with an adjustable steering range from 30 to 1080 degrees, per-trigger haptic motors, RGB shift lights, and Hall-effect sticks.
- Battery life is quoted at 20–30 hours per charge, and retail availability is expected later this year; pricing remains unconfirmed, though the lead designer told Gizmodo the team is targeting above $200.
- Coverage also notes an origin story that traces the concept to a high-school student who brought an early 3D-printed design to GameSir.
