  Huh? People that use steering wheel and peddles for racing games have a serious advantage, it’s far more accurate, I have no idea what makes you think it’s too slow or what that’s even supposed to mean.

  Most people use a controller for racing games because there’s no setup or space requirements and it’s what they’re used to. Plus a basic decent steering wheel setup is about three to four times the cost of a standard Xbox or PlayStation controller.

    Huh. I guess times have changed. It used to be that keyboard players would always win.

    Anyway it doesn’t change my opinion on the topic. Car steering wheels are stupid and only kept relevant because it’s fun to turn.

      Keyboard and mouse players win in FPS shooters, not driving games.

      As someone who spent an inordinate about of time trying to play Test Drive III with a keyboard, I can assure you that a keyboard is a terrible interface for driving.

      Later, Test Drive Le Man’s and PGR3 helped me learn that a controller is better than a keyboard, but still not great.

      A wheel is by far the best control mechanism for a car.

        Well, here I am challengibg that idea. Apparently that is the holy grail.

        I for one would prefer to ro control it using a theremin. How can you know that it is not better?m, if no one has ever tried it?

  But in a racing game the wheels can also twist from hard lock left to hard lock right in a millisecond, not sure that’s possible or desired in real life

    Rolling over is desired

  People who play racing games seriously wouldn’t use a wheel and pedals. It’s just too slow.

  That is not true at all, unless the racing game is NFS or something. The people seriously playing racing sims all use wheels and pedals.

  Clearly, you don’t frequent simracing communities.

  Something like a playstation controller would be easy to learn for most people.

  I mean, you can steer a submarine with it, am I right?
