5.1 Plan your wheel
You can operate the Universal Hub without using any of the additional buttons
or paddle shifter units. Just bolt on a wheel rim and you are ready to go.
Even on the PlayStation 3
®
you can fully operate the wheel by using the buttons
on top of the hub. For a classic wooden rim this would perhaps be the most
stylish solution.
You get more functionality and better ergonomics if you install the additional
button boxes and/or the FunkySwitch
TM
.
In both PlayStation 3
®
and PC mode, the additional button boxes are mapped
with the same buttons you find on the top side of the hub (rubber keys). On
PlayStation 3
®
additional buttons are not supported and on PC it makes it easier
to change wheel rims during gameplay without changing the mapping in-game.
If you own two Universal Hubs you might have a spare button box you can use
on the other hub so you can connect a fifth button box. This would add addition-
al buttons on PC but not all games support so many buttons.
After you purchase a compatible wheel rim you should make the following
decisions:
•
Number and positions of the button boxes.
•
How to mount the button boxes: Long or short lever, which side to connect
the lever with the button boxes (depending on wheel rim to be used)
•
Position of the FunkySwitch
TM
•
Optional: Position of the smartphone to show telemetry data (smartphone
and smartphone holder are not included)
