Regarding the racing wheel have you looked at Input Remapper? It's not the same, but I use a Razer Tartarus game pad and Input Remapper has faultlessly remapped the keys to whatever I want.
I dont remember exactly which programs i looked at. But most remapping tools i found seem be made for keyboards, mice, xbox pads etc and often create an emulated output device which may conflict with the Force Feedback/beeing a Wheel from my understanding. You can reorder the buttons with jstest-gtk though. But that wont persist through a reboot which made me really sad.
At first i thought that it would really annoy me and looked several hours into it. But tbh its alright. Most games let you remap your controls freely either way. In one game menuing is a bit borked because i cant remap those menu controls. But even that is okayish.
Either way, thanks for the suggestion! I bookmarked Input Remapper just in case a game really needs remapping in the future.
