Just curious what everybody drifts with here. I was inspired by the average drifters age thread 👍 .
 
Nice list you got there. I bought my g25 in 2008 or so, on christmas. Just do drive with it in LiveForSpeed. When moving 2009 my power supply broke and i didnt know it, everything seemed to be okay, i never checked the power supply. Then i lost it when moving later same year. Anyways i put some wrong things in the wrong spots when assembling it together again and now the wheel itself didnt work. Long story short: i got my power supply from Ebay less than a week ago and it works like a charm, building a cockpit for it and so long controller drifting days. These things last pretty good for an item which has so many little pieces made out of hollow plastic inside :)
 
I started with prologue with a g25.
Got a g27 and sold my g25 to a friend when gt5 came out

now I have 2x ps3's
2x g27s'
2x racing chairs
2x tv's
and everyone loves it

Nice. I think we might come to a conclusion after a while (continuous poll and also multi-choice in case if you happen to have two wheels and drift with both).

EDIT: So far,

2 people drift with a Thrustmaster T500RS

1 person drifts with a Logitech Driving Force

3 people drift with a Logitech G25

5 people drift with a Logitech G27

1 person drifts with a Logitech Driving Force Pro

6 people drift with a Logitech Driving Force GT

5 people drift with a Dualshock 3

Seems that there are as many dualshock 3 users as there are G27 users. The DFGT seems to be the most sucessful wheel around drifters at this point but time will tell if this is true :) .

NOTE: Thecla246 has been abusing the voting system and has voted for every single option (including "I don't drift in GT5). This is why I removed 1 from every category except for the Logitech DFP.

I use Dualshock 3. I always have for GT. I want to get a wheel but I haven't got the funds. Still, I can drift at gold medal standards... or not.

Best of luck getting a wheel! You won't be disappointed.
 
DFP here... drifting with this thing is a nightmare, nearly impossible. wheel just doesn't rotate fast enough. Looking to replace it but don't want to spend a fortune.

I know how you feel because I have drifted with it before. You will have to rely on the hand over hand method more than the powersteering method (letting the wheel spin by itself). If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a wheel then I reccomend getting the newer version of the DFP (DFGT). You can get one for as little as 80-ish pounds.
