Glossary
Compatibility
Compatibility shows which devices a gaming wheel can work with: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch or specific console generations. It is important to check this parameter before purchasing because a PC wheel does not always fit a console, and models for PlayStation and Xbox often have different versions (PS3, PS4, PS5) due to the proprietary license and electronics inside the base.
Special attention should be given to steering wheels that have specific compatibility with bases. In most cases, all bases from the brand are suitable, but it is better to confirm this additionally.

Max polling rate
The polling rate indicates how often the controller sends data on button presses and movements to the system, usually measured in Hz, and directly affects the sense of responsiveness. The higher the polling rate, the smaller the "time window" between your action and how it appears in the game, making the control feel more precise, especially in shooters, fighting games, and rhythm games. However, the real effect also depends on the type of connection: with a cable, a high polling rate is often more stable, whereas with Bluetooth, it may be limited by the protocol or power saving, so two identical gamepads may feel different in wired and wireless modes. Thus, if you are playing a competitive shooter, a higher polling rate helps more accurately "catch" micro-movements of the stick; for more relaxed games, the difference may be hardly noticeable.
