At Tokyo Game Show the unit drew a 90-minute business-day wait. The wheel is 280mm, the base unit measures 140 x 190 x 115mm and weighs 2kg, and two motors inside the wheel produce force feedback alongside 3.2Nm of peak torque.","whyItMatters":"HORI has built a direct drive wheel around compactness and a 3.2Nm ceiling rather than the 10Nm class, which points the format at players who attach and store a wheel instead of leaving one mounted to a cockpit.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe wheel comes as a set with the direct drive base, the rim, and a pedal set. The base is the part that separates it from the direct drive units sold to players with permanent rigs: at 2kg and 140 x 190 x 115mm it can be pulled out and put away. The rim measures 280mm, slightly under the usual size, with a synthetic leather grip and more buttons than the layout needs. The pedals are metal and have no clutch. Two motors sit in the wheel itself, which is where the feedback detail comes from.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"HORI's HSR-DD03 tops out at 3.2Nm of peak torque, low for a direct drive base. The price, 59,980 yen, is where that tradeoff gets tested.","twitterPost":"HORI's HSR-DD03 caps at 3.2Nm of torque for 59,980 yen, a direct drive wheel tuned for entry-level buyers.","threadsPost":"HORI's HSR-DD03 lands at 59,980 yen with 3.2Nm of peak torque. Direct drive usually implies a much higher torque ceiling, so HORI is pricing the mechanism rather than the force.","newsletterBlurb":"HORI announced the HSR-DD03 Direct Drive Wheel on September 16 and set it for a November release at 59,980 yen.
