SAITEK R660 GT FORCE FEEDBACK WHEEL

Congratulations on purchasing the Saitek R660 GT Force Feedback wheel. The R660 GT features
perfectly positioned controls, a semi-automatic gearstick which can be mounted on either side of
the wheel, powerful Force Feedback for increased realism, stable pedal unit and highly secure
clamping mechanism

Setting up your controller

1 Before connecting the R660 GT Force Feedback

Wheel to your PC, you need to connect it to your
mains supply using the AC/DC adapter
(supplied). This connects via the rear of the unit
next to the USB cable.

2 Attach the main wheel unit and the desk clamp

as shown in the diagram.

3 Position the steering wheel unit on the edge of

your desktop, and turn the clamp grip clockwise
until the unit is securely attached to the desk. Do
not overtighten!

4 Plug the cable from the pedal

unit into the socket in the
steering wheel unit, making
sure the connector clicks firmly
into place.

5 Attach the main pedal unit to

the pedal unit base, making
sure it clicks firmly into place.
Next, place the complete pedal
unit floor for your optimum
driving position.

6 To switch gearstick sides, pull the stick out of the socket and clip into place on the other side

of the wheel.

System Compatibility

PC running Windows XP/XP64/Vista (all versions)

Software installation for users of Windows® XP, XP64 and Vista (all versions)

A) Drivers Only

1. With your computer switched on, close down any programs that are currently running and
insert the Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.

Configuring your controller

To open the R660 GT Force Feedback Wheel panel,
click on the Windows Start icon, then select Settings,
Control Panel, Games Controllers. Highlight R660 GT
Force Wheel and click on Properties. This will open the
panel to the right.

Test

The Test screen shows you whether your controller is
working correctly. Moving your controller and pressing
the various buttons should result in a response
onscreen.

Force

Click on the Force tab to adjust the strength of the force
feedback on your controller. The Default Gain slider will
adjust the amount of force feedback felt through the
controller.

The Spring Gain slider will adjust the strength of harsh effects such as crashes or bumps.
The Damper Gain slider will adjust the strength of softer effects such as cornering resistance.
The Default Spring setting affects the centering mechanism of the controller. Check the Always On

box so the motors in the controller will return the wheel
to centre if you let go of the wheel when you have
turned it in a direction; unchecking this box means that
the wheel will not centre itself. Please note that the
force feedback effects will feel slightly stronger if this
box isn't checked. The slider allows you to adjust the
strength with which the wheel will centre itself if the
Always On box is ticked.

Deadzones

The Deadzones tab allows you to change how far you
move the wheel or pedals before they have an effect.

Increasing the X Axis deadzone means you have to turn
the wheel more to the left or right before it steers your
car left or right.

Increasing the Gas and Brake deadzones means you
have to press down further on the pedals before they
increase power or apply brakes.
