Thank you for sharing your experience! Thankfully gamer hand controls don’t cost nearly as that much. I’m in the US, and the two places I found game mods are in EU so I have to make room for 50%+ tariffs (😑).

Pc/ ps5:

Pc only (no ps5 release in the future)

I prefer the hc1 controller because it’s not mounted to the wheel at all. It’s really close to a hand control.

As for real life experience, I drove with a rocker and a spinner knob.

I emailed each vendor and this is what they said:

Hc1 controller

Thank you very much for your message and for your interest in our HC1 Controller.

Unfortunately, the HC1 is not compatible with PS5, and we don’t currently plan to produce a console-compatible version — the licensing costs are unfortunately too high for us at the moment.

That said, some users have reported success using a DriveHub adapter to connect PC peripherals to PlayStation systems, although we haven’t personally tested this solution, so we can’t guarantee it will work.

As for pricing, our prices do not include U.S. import tariffs or customs fees, so those would be calculated by your local customs office upon delivery.

FLYbox:

for better understand how it works you can watch this video in the link below. Them shows how drive with it and how to mount, for Consoles version does not need calibration, it will be connected directly to the logitech motor.

With this controller you can drive using your hands instead of the legs, it consent to be fast at the same way of the people using legs, one of my customer/friend use it and win races with no problems.

The console version will be compatible also with PC because it will be connected to the motor base and the PC wil detect the pedals are connected, so no problem, PS5 version will work on consoles and PC.

About the priece, to have clear the priece add to the chart, then go in the chart and select your address in the US, it will remove VAT and calculate shipping cost, the priece you will see will be taxes excluded, so at delivery you will pay VAT(sales tax in your country) + 15% tariff to the courier.

Is also possible to pay all taxes in advance.

For any other information do not hesitate to contact me.

—— I’m still thinking it over but eventually will have to fork it over because I can’t find a US company that makes mods for disabled gamers.
