Racing Controllers

[chrisheadshot]

So how many games will you be using the wheel for that you couldn't use this with?

To be fair, I had a similar choice earlier in the year. The HKS seemed a little pricey for what it was but then Argos had a great deal on the DFGT so I went a bit mad and bought one. Never looked back, but I still only use it for GT5, and even then won't use it for drifting.

But a wheel is guaranteed fun, and likely a prerequisite for buying other racing games like Dirt or F120111, something i unfortunately couldn't say if buying the HKS. Another reason i didnt buy the HKS was because i looked around this site and didn't find any threads on it, i didnt want to have to be the one throwing $60 away to find out if it was any good.

I use a DFGT wheel and also a Logitech Precision controller.... I d-pad the controller with the x and the square button (old fashion GT1 Style)....

And to be honest... though 90% of the time I dont feel like pulling out the wheel and do use the precision controller... I like many others cant bring myself to a wired controller like that... plus than the learning curve on it (I mean the DFGT wheel has enough)... I like the analog gas, brake and wheel but the tap and go method I am so used to I can do it in my sleep (though I am much faster on a wheel)

At the end of the day, its a good concept with too many weak points between.... I bet if you went to a wheel and worked with it half the time you did with that one your lap times would improve by at least .5 second per lap!

Even though the DS3 rumbles I dont find it as comfortable to use and also the d-pad hurts after an hours of use... Thats why im on the Logitech

Some said it's good for drifting ( controller user ), i bought one too early this year,but rarely use it because sometime the pedal button hurt my finger..i like the colour tho 👍

Ah, but here's a couple of much, much better questions.

Why do you assume that no one has it?
Why do you assume that no one knows about it?

You know, a simple "HKS Controller" search would've led you to this topic here...

It's still a pad, just it has a wheel instead of analog, sadly it still works just like a normal pad (you can't go full lock while driving at speed).

loving the controller ... maybe a christmas gift suggestion

Some have Steering wheels, some have DS3 but why does nobody have the HKS racing controller? Its a hybrid between a steering wheel setup and a DS3. I bought it a while back, and its taken a lot of getting used to, but its actually very nice once you get the hang of it.

My question is why does nobody know about this gift from the gods?

That just looks like a massive tangle of rotary sliders and different buttons.
