Manual gearshift function

IMPORTANT: the manual gear shift is not supported by all games, you must make sure the game is compatible before using that function. If the game supports it, you must go to the “Options” / “Command” menu and select MANUAL gear.

AUTOMATIC: MANUAL

The pedalboard has a clutch function, which can be used only with game support. The left pedal is the clutch function, the middle pedal is the brake function, and the right pedal is the gas function. If the game does not support the clutch function, the clutch pedal has no function or may be a brake function.

The 6+1 gear shift lever also needs the support of the game to have the function. The LO-HI button on the right side of the gear lever is to switch between high and low gears. For example, when the gear starts at the low gear of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, short press this switch and the gear will change to 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 high gears, while the gear indicator LED is on. Press this switch again shortly to switch to the low gear, and the gear indicator LED goes out. The function of switching between high and low gears needs to be supported by the game before it can be used. (Currently only truck games support this feature). The “P” button on the left side of the gear lever is the handbrake function. Press and hold this button to start the handbrake state, and release it to release the handbrake state. (Requires game support).

Vibration

The steering wheel has a built-in double motor of vibration. However, that feature is not available when the gear lever is plugged in the wheel. If you want to take advantage to the vibration effect, you should play without the gear lever, using the paddles to change gears. Vibration effect can be adjusted in the games menu.

Gaming headset

You can plug your gaming headset in the back of the steering wheel to have game sound & chat.

On PS4: available in all game modes
On XBOX: not available when the gear lever is plugged in the wheel

Programming function

You can now play GRAN TURISMO or any other racing games that use the default button . For other games, you have 2 options to make the right button configuration:
configuration

You can either go to the Options/Controllers menu in the game and create your own configuration. The advantage is that you can save it for later gaming sessions.

IMPORTANT: In the game control setup menu, the GS 650-X is recognized as a “steering wheel” when the gearshift is connected. But it is recognized as a “game controller” if you play without the gearshift.

You can also use the programming function “on-the-go” of the GS 650-X. It enables you to create the configuration you want without going in the Options menu of the game, but that configuration will not be saved.
