I use my ps2 pad, hasnt let me down yet, it's all down to what you prefer.

I use keyboard and is fine here, you get used to them and once you start making setups it isnt worth changing them all to suit a pad or wheel after using the keyboard for so long so...

[prydie#9]

joypad 

wheel   

keyboard

Nah, ya just plug it in the back of the speaker on in a USB port as all pads 

 

I use a ps2 pad with an adaptor

Steering wheels are great fun and very realistic.....errr or rather I thought they were, but Crasher says they are nothing like the real thing, and he should know because he used to drive an F1 stcokcar all over the track, literally. 

 

Still the best option in my book.

I use keys...I always have done since I got the game, or since I first got destruction derby for the PC, and the default keys...Got used to them on that game, so brought it over to Heat...Works a treat ish...

 

Tried changing to PS2 pad, and Wheel, but couldn't get used to them after using keys for so long...

Ps2 Joypad here, but it's just a preferance thing and what i'm used to.

old skool keys

I use a pad, Logitech Wingman Rumble Pad....it's a good pad lasted well even when thrown against the wall it still comes back for more, about three years it's lasted.

 

Also got an adapter to use the ps2 pad but seems less sensitive than the other one I have, but maybe just needs to be setup better than it is at the moment...

Same here, i still play Destruction Derby 2 on PC, a timeless master piece when it came out i was young at the time and it was the first racer i had on PC, so i got used to the default keys using A to accelerate and Z to brake and arrow keys to steer, i still haven’t come across another game that uses the same so i have to change them all to what i grew up with

 

Its better than only using the arrow keys plus it means you don't get RSI so bad in one hand

DFP wheel is the way to go, ta to Hooty for help in sorting out the settings 

[Matt 476]

using a controller for me meens easier handlin the f2s/briscas are
