# Racing Controllers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Racing Controllers is a broad category that encompasses the vast majority of third and first party controllers that has everything to do with racing games.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of them might lack Linux drivers or udev rules entirely with others there is a community effort to make them work under Linux.<br>
|
||
|
|
A few of them also require Windows only software to configure various inputs and buttons.<br>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you own a Racing Controller the best solution is just to try it on Linux via the Steam Deck Dock or a Linux PC and see if it works as expected.<br>
|
||
|
|
If it does work on Linux and it supports xinput, we see no reason why it should not work on RetroDECK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have a Flight Controller that did not work on Linux but have found a way to make it work:<br>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Contribute udev rules to the [game-devices-udev codeberg](https://codeberg.org/fabiscafe/game-devices-udev)
|
||
|
|
- Contribute to the Oversteer project
|
||
|
|
- (Optional) Inform the RetroDECK team on how you got it working on discord.
|

**Oversteer**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [OverSteer Project](https://github.com/berarma/oversteer) is trying to manage support multiple Steering Wheels on Linux. It is still in the early stages of development.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oversteer manages steering wheels on Linux using the features provided by the loaded modules.
|
||
|
|
It doesn't provide hardware support, you'll still need a driver module that enables the hardware on Linux.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most wheels will work but won't have FFB without specific drivers that support that feature.

- Steering Wheel
|
||
|
|
- Pedals
|
||
|
|
- Gear Shifter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All of them needs seperate driver modules and udev rules to work.
