Frequently Asked Questions - STR-M-01 Gembird

Is the Gembird STR-M-01 racing wheel compatible with PS5?

The manual specifies compatibility with PS4, PS3, Nintendo Switch, and PC. PS5 compatibility is not listed, but it may work via backward compatibility on PS4 games. However, functionality is not guaranteed.

How do I switch between X-INPUT and D-INPUT mode on PC?

Press and hold the Menu button for 5 seconds to toggle between X-INPUT (default, LED on) and D-INPUT (LED off). The wheel automatically starts in X-INPUT mode.

Why is the vibration feedback not working?

Ensure that your game platform and specific game software support vibration. Also check that the wheel is properly connected and powered. The vibration function works only with compatible games.

Can I adjust the steering sensitivity?

Yes, turn the Sensitivity dial on the wheel. Higher sensitivity means a smaller steering input produces a larger response. You will feel a click at the center position.

How do I assign the foot pedals to different buttons on PS3?

Press and hold Select + Start simultaneously for 3 seconds to toggle between two modes: Default (L-pedal = Square, R-pedal = Cross) or alternate (L-pedal = L2, R-pedal = R2).

What is the auto-centering function?

When you power on the wheel, it automatically sets the current position as the center. Ensure the wheel is in the neutral position before turning on the console to avoid offset.

Can I remap buttons on PS4?

Yes, enter setup mode by pressing Menu + X for 3 seconds (LED flashes). Then press the button you want to reassign (e.g., L1), then the target action button (e.g., Triangle). To restore defaults, press the same button twice in setup mode.

How do I clean the steering wheel?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquids, cleaners, or allow moisture to enter the wheel. Avoid abrasive materials.

What should I do if the wheel is not detected by my PC?

Check the USB connection. Try a different USB port. Ensure the wheel is in the correct mode (X-INPUT or D-INPUT) for your game. If using D-INPUT, press and hold Menu for 5 seconds to switch modes.

Does the wheel work on Android devices?

Yes, the manual lists Android support. When connected, the button layout may vary depending on the Android device. The wheel should be recognized as a controller.
