Overview
The HORI Force Feedback Truck Control System for Windows® PC is a premium steering wheel set designed exclusively for truck simulation games. Featuring a large 40cm diameter wheel with dual-motor force feedback and a maximum rotation angle of 1800°, it delivers an authentic driving experience closer to real trucks. The pedal unit uses non-contact magnetic sensors for long-term precision and durability. This package includes download codes for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator on Steam, allowing immediate immersion. The H-pattern shifter supports 1–6 gears plus reverse, and with the range/splitter buttons, you can shift through up to 18 speeds. The wheel connects via USB and requires an AC adapter for full-force feedback performance.
Connectivity & Compatibility
The controller is compatible with Windows 10/11 (64-bit) PCs. Connection is made via USB, and the included AC adaptor is necessary for full force feedback operation. The bundled game codes are activated through Steam, so a Steam account and internet connection are required. The system is specifically designed for truck simulation titles, primarily the SCS Software series.
Product Info
Released on July 4, 2024, the HORI Truck Control System is priced around ¥84,980 (open price) at major retailers. It comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. The box contains the steering wheel base, wheel rim, pedal unit, shifter, AC adaptor, USB cable, manual, and two Steam download code cards. This is a high-end, niche product tailored to the truck sim community, distinct from general racing wheels.
Best Use Cases
Truck Sim Enthusiasts: For players of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator who want the most realistic control possible. The large wheel and 1800° rotation make maneuvering and parking feel natural. Immersion Seekers: The dual-motor force feedback provides detailed road feel, while the shifter with range/splitter functions replicates real truck gearbox operations. * Upgraders from Standard Controllers: Gamers looking to move from a console controller to a dedicated simulator setup will find this an excellent entry into serious truck simulation.
Things to Consider
This system is purpose-built for truck sims and may not offer full compatibility with arcade-style racing games. The unit is heavy (approx. 10.78 kg) and requires a stable desk setup. Full force feedback requires the AC adaptor; USB-only operation will limit features. Additionally, the product is relatively niche, so check game compatibility before purchase.
