User Guide for Gembird STR-M-01 Vibration Racing Wheel

Quick guide from the manual

The Gembird STR-M-01 is a multi-platform racing wheel with pedals. To begin, ensure your game console is turned off before connecting the wheel. Connect the pedal unit to the base of the steering wheel, then plug the USB cable into your console or PC. The wheel features auto-centering upon startup. For PC users, the device supports both X-Input (default) and D-Input modes.

Installation

The racing wheel consists of the steering wheel unit and a foot pedal unit. To connect them:

• Plug the male connector from the foot pedal unit into the base of the steering wheel unit.
• Connect the USB cable from the steering wheel to your game console or PC.
• Always turn off your game console before connecting the racing wheel to ensure proper initialization.
• The wheel can be used on a desk, table, or placed directly on your lap.

Operation and Settings

Sensitivity

You can adjust the steering sensitivity by turning the Sensitivity dial on the wheel. Higher sensitivity results in faster reaction times to wheel turns.

Vibration Feedback

The wheel supports vibration feedback for bumps, crashes, and turns. Ensure your game platform and software support the vibration function.

PC Input Modes

The wheel defaults to X-Input mode (Mode LED is on). To switch to D-Input mode, press and hold the Menu button for 5 seconds; the Mode LED will turn off. To switch back to X-Input, repeat the process.

Button Relocation

You can remap buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2, L-pedal, R-pedal) to other functions:

1. Press the MENU and X buttons simultaneously and hold for 3 seconds. The LED will flash, indicating setup mode.
2. Press the button you wish to relocate (e.g., L1).
3. Press the action button you want to assign to that function (e.g., Triangle).
4. The LED will stop flashing, and the mapping is saved.
5. To return to default values, enter the setup environment and press the button you want to reset twice.
