On the technical level, all models feature an optical wheel with an automatic centering feature offering unrivalled precision and dual progressive triggers, which can for instance be used to seamlessly merge acceleration and breaking power. They are also fully programmable, equipped with internal memories and offer PS3 and PC compatibility.

The first two gamepads in the list are wireless, and use the proven, highly stable 2.4 GHz technology.

With these releases, the Thrustmaster range under Ferrari license is opening to the most famous device in the video game world: the gamepad. Players addicted to PC and console games can now admire, purchase, enjoy and show off these four gamepads, which stand for values shared by Thrustmaster and Ferrari alike, such as aesthetics and performance.

All controllers offer a highly comfortable grip, thanks to the lower grip lining's "peach skin" texture: unrivalled comfort, even after long hours of high-adrenaline gaming, providing the user with exceptional precision and reliability behind the wheel throughout the most demanding races! A culture of rarity inherited from Ferrari!

To make these gamepads even more unique and worthy of collectors, an individual numbered plate is affixed to the front face of the three Limited Edition controllers. Their owners will be prouder than ever to consider them their own!

The packaging has been designed to offer these devices a casket worthy of a gem. The gamepads are fully visible, placed in a highly "aggressive" racing position.
