ANALOG PRESSURE ACCELERATION AND BRAKE PEDALS
Full range pressure sensors allow real world control over gas and brake pedals. absolute control is necessary to execute the advanced heel-toe racing technique for drifting! apply full throttle for and exiting corner turns!

DIGITAL PRESSURE GAUGE
Light up numerical indicator displays your real-time pressure being applied to the accelerator and brake pedals. Dynamic digital readout incrementally displays pressure readout in every millisecond.

I really like the look of it, and I'm tempted to get one, even though I have a wheel.
 
It's not available in Germany. Yet. And I don't feel like importing one, so, yeah, guess I'll stick ti the DS3 for the time being.
 
It's interesting, but the way the steering is on an angle like that, it just seems like it would be really awkward.
 
I just got one (early christmas present) and its really good. The angled wheel feels pretty natural to use and is very precise. There is the faintest bit of lag when using it though. The thumbstick has less travel to it compared to the Ds3 but again its more precise. The thumb controls for gas and break are pretty nifty to. Being able to blend the 2 together is really helping my times on the X2010 challenge. Also on the back there is a switch where you can change the button configuration on the fly where it swaps the thumb controls for gas and break to L2 and R2. I wanted one as there is a lack of space for a steering wheel setup where i live and so far im really enjoying using it.

Thanks for the mini review. I have been thinking about this for some time and think I may give it try.
 
there have been numerous posts about this controller... use the search function to find them. many have found a problem with the analog functionality of the pedal buttons and have found a work around.
