For gadget enthusiasts, there are many products where you know the specs but really want to try them out. Gaming gadgets, in particular, have an appeal that can only be truly understood by experiencing them firsthand, whether it's the keyfeel, fit, or texture.

That's why at the ASCII-sponsored event "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II" held on Saturday, October 10th, we will be showcasing a wide array of gaming gadgets that have garnered attention this summer. You'll be able to experience products recommended by our editorial team firsthand.

In this article, from among the gaming gadgets on display, we will introduce the "Wireless Racing Wheel APEX" racing wheel controller.

An Easy-to-Use Racing Wheel Controller for Wireless Enjoyment on Both PS5 and PC

HORI's "Wireless Racing Wheel APEX" is a racing wheel controller that can connect wirelessly not only to PCs but also to PS5.

Since it comes with pedals and can be purchased in the low 20,000 yen range, it's a noteworthy model for those who want to try a racing wheel controller for the first time. It's a welcome device for users who prioritize ease of setup and convenience.

Point 1: Supports wireless connection for both PS5 and PC

As an officially licensed PS5 product, a major feature is its ability to connect wirelessly to PS5, as well as PC. The convenience of not needing to reconnect cables when switching between devices is a great advantage of wireless connectivity.

Point 2: Affordable price in the low 20,000 yen range, including pedals

Despite including pedals, it's priced in the low 20,000 yen range, making it relatively affordable. It's an accessible price even for those introducing a racing wheel controller for the first time. If you're thinking, "I want to enjoy racing games more authentically!", this is a product you should definitely consider first.

Point 3: Winning Mode for instant switching between 270-degree and 180-degree rotation

It features a "Winning Mode" that allows instant switching of the steering wheel's rotation angle from 270 degrees to 180 degrees. This allows you to quickly adjust the control feel to suit the game or your preference.

October 10th (Sat) in Akihabara! Come and Experience the HORI "Wireless Racing Wheel APEX" Firsthand!

Gaming gadgets have aspects like button feel, dial weight, and texture that cannot be understood from photos or specs alone.

That's why, at this event, we are prioritizing creating a space where you can directly experience a large number of noteworthy gaming gadgets that you'll want to get your hands on this summer, and that we highly recommend you "definitely touch!"

We've gathered only gaming gadgets that you'll "absolutely want to touch and check out" this summer, so please take this opportunity to experience them.

Our editorial staff will also be at the venue, so please feel free to ask us if you have any questions.

We look forward to seeing you at LIFORK Akihabara II on October 10th!

It's Happening in Akihabara! First-Timers are Welcome! You Can Touch Any Gaming Gadget You're Interested In!

Gaming PCs, keyboards, mice, headsets—why not try and compare all the products you're interested in? Even after looking at photos and reading spec sheets, the one thing you can't fully grasp is "what's it actually like to touch?" So, let's try out everything that catches your eye in Akihabara!

The date for "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 (GPS 9)", an event where you can experience the latest gaming gadgets firsthand and consult with our editorial staff, has been decided! It's Saturday, October 10, 2026!

And here's the important part: this event welcomes you just to look, touch, and compare. It's an event where you can freely try out gadgets at your own pace. There's no need to buy anything, so feel free to drop by!

There's no need to feel intimidated, thinking, "PC events seem to be only for experts" or "What if they pressure me to buy something like in a store?" Not being a PC expert is perfectly fine! And of course, participation is free.

At the venue, you can actually experience various devices such as keyboards, mice, and headsets. The key point is that you can thoroughly compare things like size, keyboard keyfeel, and mouse grip, which are hard to gauge online, right there on the spot. If you're someone who "doesn't know what to choose," you can also freely consult with ASCII editorial staff.

Furthermore, we're planning prize giveaways, mini-stages, and even a mystery-solving event. It's an event you can enjoy with the casual mindset of simply coming to play, look, touch, and remember what caught your eye!

Of course, we'll also be holding the popular prize giveaway from last time. And we'll be doing it big! We've also prepared commemorative novelties for your visit, and we eagerly await your attendance.
