# Hardware Peripherals

Section 125 defines `HardwarePeripherals.V2`, an input-owned catalog for wheels,
pedals, shifters, handbrakes, button boxes, sim rigs, fight sticks, adaptive
controllers, calibration, force feedback, ranked pool policy, certification, and
controller theme sync.

## Vendor SDK Matrix

Steering wheel SDK coverage includes Logitech G29, G923, and G PRO; Thrustmaster
T128, T248, T300, and T500; Fanatec CSL DD, ClubSport DD, and DD Pro; Hori Force
Feedback Racing Wheel; MOZA R5, R9, R12, R16, R21, and R-Series direct drive;
Cammus C5 and C12; Asetek SimSports; and Simucube.

Pedal coverage includes Logitech G PRO pedals, Thrustmaster T-LCM and T3PM,
Fanatec ClubSport V3 and V3 Inverted, Heusinkveld, Asetek Invicta, and Simucube
Active Pedal. Shifter and handbrake coverage includes Logitech G PRO Shifter,
Thrustmaster TH8A, Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5, MOZA HGP and HBP, plus
Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec, MOZA, and Heusinkveld handbrakes.

Button box and sim rig coverage includes Fanatec Podium Button Box, Cube
Controls, Stream Deck integration, SimVibe, ButtKicker, seat-belt tactile
feedback, and bass-shaker tactile feedback.

Fight stick and hitbox-style support includes Hori Fighting Stick, Mini, and
Octa; 8BitDo Arcade Stick; Razer Kitsune; Victrix Pro FS; MadCatz Mortal Kombat
1 Fightstick; Qanba Drone, Q2, Q3, and Obsidian; and Mayflash F500. Adaptive
controller support includes PlayStation Access Controller, Xbox Adaptive
Controller, Logitech Adaptive Gaming Kit, and Quadstick.

Fight-stick support includes per-fight-stick button-mapping presets, per-stick
optimal layout suggestions, and hitbox-style layout presets. Adaptive controller
support aligns to Section 53.1 with PlayStation Access Controller per-button
programmability, Xbox Adaptive Controller support, Logitech Adaptive Gaming Kit
integration, and Quadstick mouth-operated input support.

Xbox Adaptive Controller support uses `Input.Mapping.XboxAdaptiveController.V2`
and `Hardware.Compatibility.XboxAdaptiveController.V2` to bind the hub to the
`XSXGamepad` mapping contexts, expose player-mappable external switch ports,
keep neutral SOCD cleaning through `SOCDPreset.XboxAdaptive.Neutral`, and show
the `Tutorial.Device.XboxAdaptive` adaptive-hub glyph overlay. Compatibility
testing covers hub-only, external-switch, joystick, and Copilot fixtures before
the device is accepted as certified.

## Force Feedback And Calibration

Per-wheel force-feedback profiles are authored per vehicle with per-corner
suspension feedback, per-tire grip feedback, per-collision impact feedback, and
per-curb rumble. The tuning UI exposes gain, dynamic-range, linearity, damping,
spring, and friction. Direct-drive wheels use torque scaling so high-torque
hardware cannot overpower players.

The first-launch calibration wizard detects the peripheral set and provides
step-by-step visual feedback. Per-player profiles save per peripheral set and
are shareable. Pedal calibration covers deadzone, throw distance, curve
linearity, and load-cell brake pressure. Shifter calibration requires clutch
plus safety-button reverse engagement, and gyro calibration is present for
platform controllers.

## Vehicle Controls

Vehicles with manual transmission can use H-pattern shifters. Sequential
shifters are available for all vehicles. Reverse engagement uses clutch plus
safety button where applicable. Racing rulesets distinguish drift handbrake
behavior from rally handbrake behavior.

## Partner Program And Ranked Pools

The per-vendor SDK partner program references Section 52 live-service operations
and Section 86 store operations. It covers early access to new wheels, pedals,
and controllers plus per-product launch tie-in marketing.

Tournament ranked mode separates Wheel + Pedals players from Gamepad players.
Gamepad pools default to more assists, wheel pools default to less assist, and
ranked-pool-specific assist defaults are documented.

## Certification

Peripheral TRC coverage maintains a per-platform certified peripheral list for
PS5, Xbox Series, Switch2, and PC. Every listed peripheral requires a documented
per-peripheral cert pass before it can be treated as certified.

## Controller Theme Sync

DualSense and Edge LED bars sync with equipped fighter faction colors: Lin Kuei
frost-blue, Black Dragon green, Brotherhood of Shadow violet, and White Lotus
gold. Per-fighter Mythic skins unlock signature LED pattern animation.

DualSense, Xbox, and Switch2 controller speakers route per-fighter voice barks
and per-fighter signature impact stings. Controller motion-gyro support covers
Bushido Blade-style sword combat and gyro aim assist for precision strikes.
Battery-status HUD is shown for PS5, Xbox, Switch2, and PC connected
controllers, with low-battery warning before ranked matches. Edge, Elite, and
Pro controller back buttons use a per-fighter preset library.
