To connect the Racing Wheel APEX PS5 to your PlayStation 5 and play games, you first need to plug the USB cable directly into the USB port on the PS5 console. Next, set the hardware switch to "PS5" and the mode switch to "Normal" or "Steering" depending on the game you want to play. Once connected, the wheel will calibrate automatically and you can start playing.
Here are the detailed steps:
1. Connect the wheel's USB cable to the USB port on your PS5.
2. Make sure the hardware switch is set to "PS5".
3. Select the appropriate mode with the mode switch: "Normal" for most games or "Steering" for games compatible with this mode.
4. Connect the pedals to the wheel via the modular connector if you haven't already done so.
5. Wait for the wheel to calibrate itself.
6. Launch a compatible racing game and start playing.
Important: some games are only compatible with Normal mode or Steering mode. If you encounter compatibility problems with a specific game, you can consult the official compatibility list on the HORI website or try switching between the two modes.
