Types
Use
The PCGamerBike is configurable and, as a result, can interact with a broad range of PC games. They are typically used to control character(s) in a game, or a character's vehicle, such as a car, bike or boat, by pedaling forward or backward, to move the character in those directions. Side to side controls require the use of a keyboard or mouse, which can be used in accompaniment with the bike.[2][4] When used with driving and racing games, character speed is proportional to pedal speed. The PCGamerBike Mini can be used with any game that supports a keyboard, as it is connected via a USB port as a game controller.[5] The resistance of the pedals on the PCGamerBike Recumbent can be adjusted to the player's preference and will also vary depending on certain in-game situations, for example, in a situation when the character is going up or down hill.[6][7]
