Claim:
A multi-turn gaming wheel system comprising: a steering wheel rotatable from a centered position in a counter-clockwise direction for over 180° and in a clockwise direction for over 180° to provide more than 360° lock-to-lock; a single-turn stop movable between a single-turn mode position and a multi-turn mode position, the single-turn stop limiting the steering wheel to rotation from the centered position of at most 180° in the counter-clockwise direction and at most 180° in the clockwise direction to provide at most 360° lock-to-lock in the single-turn mode, the single-turn stop not limiting the steering wheel in rotation in the multi-turn mode position; and an operating mode module configured to communicate with a host system and to set an operating mode for the steering wheel to be in a legacy mode to provide input to the host system for playing a legacy game designed for a single-turn wheel capable of at most 360° lock-to-lock, or in a native mode to provide input to the host system for playing a native game designed for a multi-turn wheel capable of more than 360° lock-to-lock.
