    Hy!
    I bought a few weeks ago the steering wheel. But one day is not working.
    Windows will recognize , but not in the usual place the Device Manager.
    Perhaps need to be updated or a new firmware?
    SteelSeries support does not help me.
    How to fix it?

    Its Fu*ked. Sorry to say it so, But there's no amount of screwing around that will fix it. These wheels are known for "flashing" themselves, rendering them into paper weights.

    I dealt with Steel Series a couple years ago and was a Genuine Nightmare to get something RMA'd. They know the problem but completely ignored it with no updates or revisions. I eventually got a wheel from them but it took damn near 3-4 months of back and forth. I would NEVER EVER buy a Steel series product in the future.
