MEGATechNews checks out a racing wheel for your smartphone
The Diamond Multimedia TAB360 wheel serves a dual purpose, acting as both a tablet display stand for hands-free use and as a controller for gaming apps that use the tablet’s gyroscopic capabilities. The accessory comes in two separate pieces – the wheel and the base – and putting it together is as simple as holding down a button and sliding the wheel into place. The wheel not only rotates 360 degrees but its balljoint allows for a wide range of motion. The three patches of tread on the bottom of the base do a decent job of holding the unit steady on whatever table or desk you’re using it on, but once things get real, that thing will start rockin’.TAB360 Universal Racing Gaming Wheel Stand for Smartphones and Tablets

The wheel and base are both made of plastic and weigh a little under two pounds. Despite its lightness, it doesn’t feel cheaply made, feeling just as solid as plastic accessories get. I tested it out using an Amazon Kindle Fire, which fit snuggly into the unit’s adjustable grip. I was a little worried about that, because it adjusts in increments, which may not allow for a perfect fit for all tablet sizes. Fortunately, there are also adjustable clamps that help hold the device in place, making up for any fitting problems.
