The Logitech Driving Force Wireless is a racing wheel released by Logitech in July 2008.
A version of the Driving Force, the Driving Force Wireless connect to the host device via a proprietary 2.4Ghz USB dongle. The wheel has a 180-degree of steering angle. It lacked the foot pedals, but it has a steering-mounted, analog paddles that can be used for brake and acceleration. The wheel base lacked the built-in table clamp, as it was designed to be sit on user's lower thigh when when sitting on lower-height chair. Single-motor-gear-driven force feedback mechanism were retained. Unlike other Logitech wheels which has unique hardware IDs, it has the same hardware ID as the original Driving Force.[1]
The Driving Force Wireless has a Wii-compatible model in a form of the Speed Force Wireless for Wii, released in November 2008. While it is identical to the Driving Force Wireless, it has its own hardware ID and is not supported on PC.
Due to it being emulate as an original Driving Force, the Driving Force Wireless is supported in games that incorporate Logitech's steering wheel SDK, but requires specific version of Logitech Gaming Software to be installed in order to work. On the other hand, the Speed Force for Wii is currently not supported on PC.
