The HORI Racing Wheel APEX for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC gives racing players a dedicated wheel-and-pedal setup without the cost or installation demands of a direct-drive simulator. It is designed for users who want more physical steering control than a gamepad while keeping the system compact enough for a normal desk or racing stand.
The steering wheel measures about 280mm across and provides approximately 270 degrees of rotation. That gives the driver a wider, more natural input range than an analogue stick, while the included pedal unit separates acceleration and braking into dedicated foot controls.
The wheel connects over USB and supports compatible PS5, PS4 and PC racing titles. HORI maintains game-specific compatibility lists because some titles use steering mode differently or require button remapping. Checking the intended game before purchase is important, particularly for console titles with different controller modes.
The wheel unit weighs around 1.4kg and uses a 3m cable, while the pedal set weighs roughly 900g with a 1.5m cable. Firmware updates and device settings can be managed from a compatible Windows PC when required.
The Racing Wheel APEX is best for casual and intermediate racing players moving beyond controller steering. It delivers the essential wheel, pedal and paddle-shift experience in a straightforward USB package while avoiding the complexity of a larger force-feedback ecosystem.
