Saitek to ship Farming Simulator Controller for $300

We can't imagine there's going to be a large audience for a nice product like this, but if you've ever wanted to play Farming Simulator with dedicated controls you'll be happy to hear that Saitek is going to start shipping a custom controller this fall!

Priced at a lofty $299.99, the Saitek Farming Simulator controller comes with a steering wheel, pedals and vehicle side panel.

As Saitek explains on its website, now you can finally bring your tractor home, without the mud. The controls are very detailed, the steering wheel offers 900 degrees of rotation for maximum realism, there's a removable turn knob for easier one-handed turning, a center-sprung wheel to control all out-of-vehicle activities, a vehicle side panel with over 25 programmable buttons, and a front loader control stick!

The Farm Sim bundle is the latest member of Saitek’s impressive stable of specialized gear. Standard keyboard controls or wheels designed for a totally different genre of games may get the job done, but our equipment does the job right. Care for your farm with these realistic tools to gain a deep-rooted sense of immersion and enjoyment, all while driving vehicles and operating attachments with a finer degree of control.

Farming Simulator is the blue ribbon of agricultural simulation video games. And Saitek rules the roost when it comes to hardware designed to enhance simulation games. Using feedback from you, the Farm Sim community, Saitek and GIANTS Software partnered to build custom hardware that adds to the thrill of cultivating land, nurturing livestock, and selling goods to make your farm a rewarding venture.
