UltraRacer 64

The UltraRacer 64 operates much like a remote-control car controller: There's a trigger underneath to control acceleration and braking, while the two-inch foam-padded disc on top enables you steer your onscreen car with an actual wheel.

The UltraRacer 64 operates much like a remote-control car controller: There's a trigger underneath to control acceleration and braking, while the two-inch foam-padded disc on top enables you steer your onscreen car with an actual wheel. The unit sits comfortably in the hand, supports memory and Rumble Paks, and 14 of the 16 buttons can be remapped. That's good, because navigating menus without a joystick quickly becomes a confusing chore.

Sloppy steerers like San Francisco Rush didn't perform any better than normal, but games with tight controls, such as F1 Pole Position 64, only got better with a real wheel. After about a half-hour, your hand begins to cramp, but it's easy to simply switch hands and lefties and righties will find themselves on equal ground at last. The UltraRacer 64 isn't as innovative as the NegCon, but it's still a good ride.
