Announced yesterday, this rubber-textured wheel features a full slate of professional-grade rotary knobs, switches and action buttons -- including two rotary encoder switches, eight push-buttons and a set of "push and pull" sequential shifters that, true to form, are attached directly to the wheel face. Designed to seamlessly attach to your [T500 RS](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/18/thrustmaster-t500-rs-review/), the accessory will be available in two models: a PC- and PS3-compatible mode, with 13 action buttons and three D-Pads, or an advanced PC-compatible mode, with 25 action buttons and one D-Pad. No mention, however, of that elusive [boost button](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/09/visualized-porsches-gt3-r-hybrid-has-its-very-own-boost-button/).
