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 
and 
buttons are positioned to resemble semi-automatic transmission paddle shifters (or a "flappy paddle gearbox").
