This guide explains the RSR’s default PlayStation mapping when using Fanatec Porsche 918 RSR emulation. Find a control on the diagrams to see which input it sends to the console.
Your RSR control → Emulated Porsche wheel input → Action assigned by your game
For example, the top button on the left sends L1. The game decides what L1 does. A sticker such as FLASH or RADIO is a physical label; it does not change the input sent to PlayStation.
1. Buttons and paddles
Left and right are shown from the driver’s seat. Buttons are numbered from the outer top button down each side.
| Position, top to bottom | Left-side button sends | Right-side button sends |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | L1 | R1 |
| 2 | L2 | R2 |
| 3 | Triangle | Triangle |
| 4 | Options | Square |
| 5 | Share | Circle |
| 6 | PS | Cross (X) |
| Paddle position | Default input |
|---|---|
| Left upper shifter | L1 |
| Right upper shifter | R1 |
| Left lower paddle, if fitted | L1 |
| Right lower paddle, if fitted | R1 |
The paddle entries describe the button mapping shown in the default configuration. Follow the console manual for paddle calibration and clutch setup.
2. Thumb and front rotaries
Each turn direction has its own assignment. Clockwise and anticlockwise are viewed from the face of the individual knob. The letters below identify positions, not PlayStation button names.
| Diagram / control | Clockwise ↻ | Anticlockwise ↺ |
|---|---|---|
| A — Upper-left thumb rotary | Up | Down |
| B — Inner-left thumb rotary | Up | Down |
| C — Upper-right thumb rotary | Rotary_R | Rotary_L |
| D — Inner-right thumb rotary | Right | Left |
| E — Upper-left front rotary (MAP) | R2 | L2 |
| F — Lower-left front rotary (BIAS) | Up | Down |
| G — Upper-right front rotary (ABS) | R3 | L3 |
| H — Lower-right front rotary (TC) | R3 | L3 |
Rotary_R / Rotary_L are the Porsche wheel’s rotary-direction inputs, as named in the RSR mapping interface. They are different from D-pad Right / Left. Whether a game lets you use or reassign these inputs depends on that game.
3. Make the controls work for you
- Open the RSR button module’s Wi-Fi configuration interface using the instructions in the console manual.
- Select Fanatec as the wheelbase and choose an available emulated function for the control you want to change.
- Select Save, then test the control in your game. Where supported, use the game’s control settings to choose its action.
Example: one function on two buttons. If you want Cross (X) in two convenient places, assign X to both RSR buttons. Pressing either sends Cross to the console. The two buttons will perform the same game action.
Use Reset buttons to default in the mapping interface to return to the starting layout. Save the configuration after making changes.
4. What emulation can and cannot do
- The console recognises the RSR as a Fanatec ClubSport Porsche 918 RSR. The available input set is therefore limited to that wheel.
- The RSR has more physical controls than there are independent emulated inputs. Some default assignments are shared, and you can deliberately share more.
- Remapping chooses which RSR control sends an available input. It cannot create an additional console input or make a game support an input it does not accept.
- A control that works in one game may have fewer assignment options in another. Check the game’s wheel and control settings.
