Buy a wireless X360 pad to go with it, works really well with this game

Indeed, 360 pad is a must.

Pffff why are peoples keyboard skills on ocuk so **** ? Playing Grid or TDU or whatever game except perhaps real sims is no worse than playing on the keyboard, just heave to learn how to tap properly. Hated playing grid on a pad worked much better on keyboard imo.

Because with a pad you get an almost infinite adjustment for steering and acceleration without tapping a button like a mad man to achieve the same (but never quite as good) effect. You can hold the steering right or left at 10%, 30%, whatever%, same for acceleration making minor subtle adjustments with decreased chance of overcooking it.

I'l be VERY surprised if (for example) you can drift better with a keyboard than with a pad. The trigger for acceleration is an absolute must, on off on off on off with the throttle is no good at all!

I play Grid with a keyboard...

@smogsy, just go out and get it now, you wont be disappointed and it will run like a dream

i almost bought a steering wheel / pedals JUST for this game..

currently using the 360 pad, it looks great

and visually stunning, it's a good game to show off the pc to your console loving friends

Good man!

With keyboard you dont get the adjustable anolouge control you do than with a 360 pad, with a keyboard its either on or off! you dont get to vary your accelaeration which is very improtant
