The '''Arcade Racer Joystick''' is a racing wheel style controller for the [[Sega Saturn]]. As opposed to many digital controllers at the time, the Arcade Racer is analog in nature, allowing for smoother control than a standard Sega Saturn D-Pad. Whereas digital controllers rely on values assigned to on/off switches (like light switches, they react in steps), analog controllers respond in a smoother arc (like dimmer switches).

The Arcade Racer was designed primarily for racing games such as ''[[Virtua Racing]]'', ''[[Daytona USA]]'' or ''[[Sega Rally Championship]]''. Its height and angle can be adjusted by the user.  The seven face buttons are positioned on the face of the wheel, and the {{Up}} and {{Down}} directions are redesigned into paddles on each side of the wheel which resemble semi-automatic transmission paddle shifters (or a "flappy paddle gearbox").  These paddles are digital, not analog, unlike the wheel itself.  The Arcade Racer does not have {{L}} or {{R}} buttons, so games designed for it cannot use those buttons.

The Arcade Racer is supported by most driving games released for the Sega Saturn.  There are a few, such as ''[[Impact Racing]]'' or ''[[Road Rash]]'', that do not support it, however, perhaps because of needing the additional buttons that the Arcade Racer is missing.
