  1. A gaming accessory that makes me excited is the racing wheel for PC. I find that a controller is an excellent way to play racing games on PC, but recently I’ve been wanting to experience an actual wheel for my F1 and American Truck Sim games. I’m hoping in the coming months to find a wheel that’s PC compatible on-sale at a good price that I could buy.
