When you hear the brand name Turtle Beach, the first image that pops into your mind is likely headphones. Famed for making high-end headphones for years, the talented people at Turtle Beach have now tried their hand at a different gaming peripheral. Introducing the VelocityOne Race. A racing wheel and pedals set designed to make your virtual racing experience as immersive as possible.

Compatible with Xbox consoles and PC, the VelocityOne Race is $649.99 and available on Turtle Beach's site through the link in the box below. Paying more for an accessory than you paid for the console itself can seem a little daunting, but the VelocityOne Race is as expensive as it is for a good reason. Quite a few good reasons, actually. The leading one is its K-Drive motor. A feature you can only experience via the VelocityOne Race that delivers feedback replicating what you'd feel if you were really behind the wheel of a powerful car, speeding around a track.

The real feel of the VelocityOne Race goes beyond what you'll be holding in your hands. The device's brake pedal uses Dynamic Brake Tek - also unique to the Race - that replicates the feel of braking in an actual car. Suffice to say, even though you'll be sitting in the comfort of your own home while using it, with the VelocityOne Race in your hands and at your feet, the next time you play Forza or any other racing game on Xbox or PC, it will feel as close to the real thing as possible aside from becoming a real-life F1 driver.

The removable steering wheel is flagged by paddles for swift gear changes, and the race day immersion doesn't end with the physical accessory. The VelocityOne also displays just about every statistic you could hope to study on-screen provided the game you're playing is compatible with the feature. It also has a companion app - available on Xbox, PC, or your mobile device - so you can properly study those stats while not focusing on the road ahead.

If you've been on the lookout for a racing wheel but $650 is a little much to kick things off, we have a guide listing the very best available to suit all budgets. If it's simply video game immersion you're after, in racing games or otherwise, might I direct your attention to the GameScent? A device that aims to add the smell of a game to your experience as you play. The smell of a racetrack is one of the scents the GameScent includes at launch, so between that and the VelocityOne Race, you can make your setup look, feel, and smell like an F1 garage.
