COURTY 334 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 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...

big al 515 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munster Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 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... Munster.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
