Saitek R220 wheel....not much point playing a driving game without a wheel is there?

Yes, it's easier with the Xbox controller. I hated using my r440.

i just use the xbox controller...I'd like a wheel but don't really know what to look for. The G25 is just too expensive and other stuff just looks cheap like I'd break it. :/

I tried GRID with my Logitech Driving Force Pro - it REALLY isn't designed for people with wheels!

X360 pad! Analogue triggers are awesome and remind me of the glory days of playing F355 challenge on the Sega Dreamcast online vs Japanese players. ^_^
loved it.

PS3 pad, but oply because I have two so could use one of them for Grid.

Well my wheel was cheap but despite my best efforts on grid, gtr2 and flatout ultimate carnage it has failed to break!

Is everyone using the XB360 controller using the default MS drivers? Don't these have the bug that the 2 trigger controllers are on the same axis, so in eg Trackmania you can't accelerate and brake at the same time? Pretty annoying I've found.

Sorry just to explain a bit better what I meant:

Xbox 360 controller, if you want a realistic experience go and drive your car.

Havnt got Grid yet but plan to buy it.

I have two Xbox 360 controllers and they are by far the best PC controllers out!!

PS is grid worth getting??

i got it free from Gibbo but it seems pretty good, look at the reviews and if you like Arcade racers it's the game for you.

it's a very arcadey game....I had fun for a bit then got bored of it...then once OcUK people started playing together the other night had a blast and am hooked really. Even though for some reason I am just absolutely terrible at this game.

Maybe all 4850 owners suck, the CPU's own me on normal

Using the 1.1 drivers (Windows Update automatically updates them).

No problem using the brake and accelerator at the same time.
