I've done some research on done wheels. I would love to get a G27 but it's way to much money. The DFGT seems a much better choice. I'm not a big fan of using a Stick Shift. I've found out that it has paddle shifts but I want to see how good they are? Anyone with a DFGT mind giving me any sort of opinion on how the paddle shift is?
 
The paddle shifters aren't very realistic in feel.
They're really just two buttons, not exactly buttons, but I dunno they get the job done is all that matters.
I'd say that if you're on a budget, and you won't be using an H Shifter, than the DFGT is definitely your wheel.

Would it be just a button that goes into the wheel or would it come out like a H Shifter?
 
It's not a button like the buttons on the controller, it's kind of hard to describe, I would post pics, but I'm using my iTouch now.
They're really just plastic flaps, but they work fine.
 
I'm asking because I used to have a Mercedes GL and the steering wheel had button like shifters on the sides. You would have to press a button and it would gear. Same here I'm on me iPhone as well :)
 
On the backside of the wheel, there are two sort of button type things that will allow you to shift gears up and down. There is also a small stick shift that lets you click forward and backward to shift gears up and down.

Personally, I just drive automatic, so it doesn't bother me at all. With the X2010, you don't really have the time to shift anyway. You are too busy steering, IMO.

They may work ok on a normal car, but I would imagine it would be a little difficult to do on the Formula Ferrari's as well.
