How to choose an accessory for a PS game console?

The first category includes all kinds of additional charging stations, gaming headphones with high-quality sound, gamepads, and additional external memory drives. This classification of goods is suitable for experienced players who would like to optimize the use of the console. For example, for fans of shooters, headphones are essential. They are suitable for completely listening to the location of players on the other team. Charging stations will be needed by gaming fans who don’t want to waste time charging their controllers.

Everything you need for virtual racing and flying
If you have determined that you like the driving simulator genre on PlayStation, then for the most comfortable and realistic game you will need additional gamer accessories. For racing, a steering wheel and pedals are required, as well as a gearbox included. If a player wants to feel like a pilot of a huge Boeing or a military fighter, he will need the appropriate props.
Professionals in car simulators and street racing games opt for advanced steering wheels with feedback. However, such an accessory would also be useful for a beginner. The meaning of this device is that the steering mechanism is designed in such a way that when the player drives on an uneven section of the road in the game, all the holes, bumps, and roughness will be felt on the steering wheel. Previously, the vibration effect was used, but it is the force feedback function that helps achieve the maximum level of realism. For beginners, a simple inexpensive steering wheel without pedals is suitable. To learn how to drive in the game, amateurs do without additional gadgets, but those who want to achieve maximum realism can purchase pedals, a gearbox, and even a handbrake for drifting.
As for the pedals, they usually come with the steering wheel. Experienced players point out to newcomers that when choosing such an addition to your console, you should check the rigidity of the device and its size. If the pedal is too small and inelastic, the realism will be noticeably reduced. Conversely, if the button is pressed too hard, the player will be distracted from the gameplay itself and will not get any pleasure from the racing simulator.
In some cases, users purchase an additional handbrake in order to increase the level of realism by 100% in drifting simulators. As a rule, handbrakes also have different price segments, but are not used so often. Suitable for online racing games.
Gearboxes are divided into advanced and simpler ones for beginner racers. The first includes an inexpensive plastic model. Its other name is sequential. You can use more expensive and realistic models – six-speed and even eight-speed shifters. These work great in racing games and give the player the opportunity to feel like a Formula 1 pilot.
Fans of airplane simulators use joystick wheels with pedals. In aviation games, a joystick with the necessary set of devices is called an airplane control stick. There are advanced devices to create absolute realism in controlling a real aircraft. The device consists of a traction lever, a speed lever, and a trigger. This joystick is optimal for playing military simulators. For those who like to fly in civil aviation, a joystick with a steering wheel, a thrust lever, and pedals for accelerating the car will do.

The idea is as simple as possible: when a person moves his hand or turns his body, sensors record this. This is how character control works in the game. For example, with this accessory you can play Control and God of War 2 on PS.
