Generic racing wheel driver/workaround?

[Dreamking11]

Hello all,
I have this off-brand racing wheel pictured here:

http://www.emicrox.com/eShop/product.as ... pid=472698
It isn't recognized by popular racing games except for Live for Speed for some reason. It shows up in

the device mgr under Human Interface Devices as HID compliant game controller and USB human interface

device. Is there any way I can get games to recognize this device?

1) Install it from the DRIVERS it came with.

2) Configure it via Control Panel after you installed it

3) Games that support ANY racing wheel or controller should recognise it....

(I use a Controller for NFSU2)


Hope that helps

I got these @ a computer show in LA a couple of years back, only $8 apiece! Unfortunately they didn't come with any drivers, they are detected as generic USB game wheel by Win.
I managed to play around with the keyboard controls in NFS and determined that
left-arrow=wheel left
f=wheel right
left-alt=throttle
down-arrow=brake/reverse.
The wheel works OK with the keyboard config'd like this except for the shifter.
2 of the buttons on the wheel will always act as shift no matter what I change the related keys to., they are awkward however & I'd much rather use the shifter itself. Also The shifter seems to act as <esc> (shift up) and <enter> (shift down) if I use it while in the menus. I've tried mapping the keys to hese & it will not cooperate.
I've tried lots of combinations trying to determine what keys relate to the shifter. Is there any software or anything that will tell me what values are being produced by the shifter?
Thanx

Hmm, only way to do it is find the manufacturer's name and model number. Then search google for the drivers made for it. That wasy, you get the most out of it.
