How to Convert a G25 Racing Wheel to Work on Other Platforms

The Logitech G25 Racing is one of the most realistic video game wheels with 900 degrees of steering rotation and H-pattern manual gearbox and clutch. With its USB interface, it is compatible with PC computers as well as the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2. The wheel can be adapted to work with the Xbox 360 or Mac computers with limited functionality. Although the clutch and H-shifter will not work, the wheels basic functions will, allowing you to use one wheel for all your consoles.
