The Fanatec Speedster is a racing wheel released by Fanatec in 1998.

A unofficial PlayStation-compatible racing wheel, the Speedster is essentially a version of the Le Mans made specifically for the PlayStation consoles. It has more buttons than the Le Mans SE wheel. The Speedster emulate as a DualShock controller.

The Speedster has a (rather inferior) model in a form of Rally, which lacked the stick shifter and the foot pedals, and has to rely on the steering-mounted analog paddles for brake and acceleration.

Because the Speedster use the proprietary PlayStation controller port, a third-party adapter is needed, and depending on what adapter is used, the wheel can be show up either as a DirectInput device or an XInput device when connected to the PC.
