I tried GameSir's revolutionary new game controller and it's the most mind-blowing thing I've used in years It looks like a bit of a Frankenstein, but trust me when I say, this is going to be something spectacular. One of the products that's pricked up our ears the most in recent times is GameSir's wild-looking controller with a full racing wheel in the middle. Not only does it look unlike anything else on the market, it's also one of the most innovative ideas I've seen in years. It's still a long way off, with the current projections for a Q1 2027 launch, but I stumbled across one at this year's Sim Racing Expo in Charlotte, so naturally, I grabbed it with both hands. The unit I spent some time with is still very much a prototype, but honestly, I can't stop thinking about it. It's truly one of the most mind-blowing pieces of technology I've touched in recent times. The controller itself debuted earlier this year at CES and has been referred to by its code name, Swift Drive. At this event, though, it's being marketed through a collaboration with sim racing hardware company Trak Racer, and their version will be known as the TR640. So, what's it all about? Unbelievably, the Swift Drive/TR640 packs a genuine direct drive motor into the form factor of a regular controller.

Direct drive is a technology usually limited to much larger, heftier, more expensive virtual racing setups. Inside the controller is something technologically the same, but much smaller. But even with the shrunken dimensions, this thing kicks like a mule. The experience of using the controller doesn't feel unnatural, though. Obviously, its primary target
