Editorial Policy

Source Standards

Our editorial assessments rely on verifiable engineering and technical documentation rather than promotional marketing statements. Acceptable reference sources include:

• Official Specification Sheets: Published manufacturer datasheets defining microcontroller architectures, ADC bit resolutions, and raw sensor types.
• Dimensional Blueprints & CAD Files: Exact bolt-hole centers, channel slot spacing, and bracket thicknesses compared against 40-series aluminum extrusion geometry.
• Driver & Firmware Documentation: Publicly documented Windows HID compliance, direct USB controller board enumeration, and pinout diagrams.

Prohibited Claims

To ensure technical accuracy, our editorial process strictly prohibits:

• Inventing dynamic testing procedures, laboratory stress tests, or completed physical research not actually conducted.
• Fabricating institutional credentials, formal engineering certifications, or official endorsements.
• Asserting unverified product claims or guaranteeing specific competitive sim-racing outcomes.

Corrections Policy

Direct-from-factory sim racing hardware frequently undergoes silent hardware revisions, controller changes, and bracket updates. When an error in reported specifications, mounting patterns, or sensor designs is identified:

1. Verification: The reported change is validated against updated manufacturer technical documentation or direct supplier schematics.
2. Correction: The relevant specification tables, compatibility notes, and text are revised immediately.
3. Audit Note: An update timestamp or revision note is appended to the affected article to document the change for readers.
