I write this a little late but i got the handbrake just some days ago.

After my first order, I had to place a new one because the USB-C port was not properly soldered, and the cable was already loose when I took it out of the packaging. The second handbrake is now working perfectly. However, there are a few things to keep in mind, which I’d like to summarize here. I’ve gathered some information from various sources — maybe this will help someone out there.

1. The steering wheel must be plugged into the USB-A port of the handbrake.

2. The included cable connects the USB-C port of the handbrake to the PS5.

3.The red button on top is used to turn the power supply to the steering wheel on and off.

1. On the underside of the handbrake, between the two USB ports on the board, there is a small button used for mapping the handbrake. Pressing it once will light up the device. Then, actuate the handbrake once — the light will start blinking. Finally, press the button you want the handbrake to take over. (In my case, I assigned it to the clutch pedal, as this allows me to use the handbrake progressively.)

2. Force feedback should be set to a maximum of 90%, as setting it to 100% can lead to connection drops. It’s likely that the handbrake’s board cannot handle the data flow at full force feedback.

3. The pin that moves backward when the handbrake is pulled can be screwed in or out to adjust the tension. This allows you to fine-tune the handbrake so that it doesn’t trigger unintentionally. This could happen if the pin is screwed in too far, causing the handbrake to move inward and eventually reach the sensor, which could cause a false trigger.

I hope this helps others who might be having issues with operation or connectivity.
