A steering wheel controller includes a steering wheel mount, a wheel ring, and a ring driver. The wheel ring is connected to the steering wheel mount, and defines an axis of rotation. The ring driver is drivingly coupled to the wheel ring and controllable to selectively torque the wheel ring to rotate with the steering wheel mount about the axis of rotation. The coupling of wheel ring and ring driver may be achieved through mechanical, electric, and/or magnetic means, in any case causing a torque to be generated and transmitted to the steering wheel through the wheel ring.
