It’s missing the LCD display and a couple of buttons and dials, but otherwise, it’s a fairly spot-on replica. We’ve included an image for comparison purposes, because we’re nice like that.

Unveiled in May, this video gives you a much closer look at Thrustmaster’s over-the-top Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition controller.
Not one to be outdone, well by no one at this point, peripheral kings Thrustmaster will start selling a $US250 replica of a Ferrarri 430 Scuderia in June for use with PC and PS3 games. The only thing that the fold-up cockpit is missing is the… cockpit. But hey, nice wheel and pedals.
Thrustmaster today unveiled a stand for the DSi and a strap that doubles as a charger for the portable.
I’m a little disappointed with the Classic Controller. Mainly because it’s not properly wireless, which in 2007 I don’t find annoying, I find inexcusable! Enter Thrustmaster’s T-Wireless NW, which has an awful name but a promising premise. It works like a Wavebird: plug an adapter into the Cube’s wireless ports, play wirelessly. While it looks tacky, it’ll be $20 on release (same as the Classic), so you can choose between Nintendo’s style or Thrustmaster’s…wirelessness.
