check out the sim raceway srw-s1, its a handheld wheel using accelerometers and magic for input, rather than a motor drive. so no force feedback. it can be mounted to a wheel base though. it has throttle and brake levers on the back of the unit.

The Simraceway SRW-S1 wheel uses analog paddle shifters that you can use for the throttle and the brake.
The SteelSeries SRW-S1 is doing me quite well. No mount, but paddle shifters and throttle/brake levers under them on the back, makes for an interesting driving experience.
You can buy the wheel from the video on amazon.

I don't know if it works with all the consoles you want or not.
The only specialty items I have would be a corded racing wheel and a Razer Abyssus (Note that the one on that page is a slightly newer one that I don't have.)
I like the wheel a lot for three main reasons.
Although it does lack force feedback (For obvious reasons.) and even vibrations, which makes rumble strips not as rumbly. But the cord is VERY nice and sturdy. I can see the cord being the last thing to break. But for smaller hands some of the buttons may be difficult to reach and use comfortably.

The mouse is the most generic that Razer makes, but have great build quality and a nice DPI/Sensitivity range. I like to use the highest settings with 3500 DPI @ 1000hz because it means I don't have to move the mouse as much to move the cursor. I also have the sensitivity nearly maximized. I chose it because it was simple (I don't understand how something like this can be comfortable.) looked comfortable, which it fairly is.

I really want to get a better chair, as the one I use primarily is four years old and basically has wooden boards for "cushions". But at least it can still adjust the height, which I have at the lowest setting to keep me from curling forward and hurting my back.
That reminds me.... I got one of those steelseries F1 wheels that I would love to mount on a yoke. It has like a million buttons. Would make a sweet space freighter or TIE bomber/Ywing controller. If only I could find a yoke for cheap, no way I'm butchering a new one.

That's the whole reason I want the Ferrari F1 wheel, more buttons. This looks good, but it'll technically be a downgrade from my stock RS GT wheel, which is a no-go for me. I just want more buttons on the wheel.
I wish they'd make something like this for their bases.
This wheel has analog paddles and is pretty popular. I don't think it is in production anymore. Currently it looks expensive (new) but it went on clearance for ~$50 or something and second hand ones are out there. It is a "floating" wheel so there is no base, but people have mounted it to a G27 base, or even rigged it up to a PVC pipe rotating inside of another PVC pipe.
I'll just mention stuff I've tried myself.
If money is no object, multiple monitors or at least headless ghosts are ironically useful in virtual desktop applications like Bigscreen. I run 3x2560x1600 in one large screen. Bigscreen has an update coming for multiple monitors too. Big physical screens are nice for spectators/multiplayer.
Until the wireless adapter comes out, a decently long displayport cable and longer USB cable running to the link box to cover the large play area and if you have an original Vive, the new 3-in-1 cable with a sleeve.
I've been looking at [this overhead pulley thing](https://www.amazon.com/MDW-Retractable-Management-Headset-Adhesive/dp/B01M6EB8DM/
) but I haven't actually tried it yet.
Two Vives would be good, you can run them off the same 2 base stations and partition the space with chaperone. I run a Rift and a Vive in the same room.
Get an assistant/intern/wife/child to help you set up/put things away, maintain everything, patch/update, find new content, etc...
Accessories:
You might want a good recording setup with mixed reality support as well.

The SteelSeries SRW-S1 is a bit of an oddball, since it's an accelerometer based wheel instead of a steering column, but it's far cheaper than most wheels and doesn't require pedals. It's pretty good as a bridge between a full blown wheel and a controller.
Unsure about the rotation honestly, well if you're handy and want just the f1 rim there's this https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/02/uk-videogames/2011/dp/B006IR6NH8/image2_large._V140829823_.jpg it's the steel series srw s1, heavy modification needed since it doesn't plug into any wheel by default you just sort of turn it and it will turn by using accelerometers i guess. But already saw some people who adapted it to g25/27 etc.
Can't think of any other unit before that
