Alternatively called a gaming wheel, the steering wheel is a peripheral game controller used for racing games or driving programs. Connected via USB (universal serial bus), it usually includes both acceleration and brake pedal devices; some even include a mechanism for shifting gears.

Logitech (shown in the image) is known for its quality steering wheel controllers, making their brand a popular choice amongst racing game enthusiasts. While the steering wheel controller can be costly, it provides the added benefit of a more realistic experience and superior control of the in-game vehicle.
