    Other than FPS and RTS, and maybe fighting games (but than again you can use an arcade like thingy instead) the keyboard mouse is useless. Playing let's say Assassin's Creed.. with a keyboard is absolutely horrible. As I said, it really depends the type of game.

    I agree, racing games too play better on gamepads.

    How can you drive a car on a gamepad?

    Get a steering wheel and pedals like the rest of the civilized world.

    That's like complaining that flight sims aren't great with a keyboard when you should be using a flight stick.

    In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'

    Tried that, the game is overly sensitive for the gaming wheel.

    Just steer a tiny bit to the left, and see the car doing a 360 spin!

    Maybe I could not afford a branded (And a better) one.

    Life is best for those who enjoy it, difficult for those who analyze it and worst for those who criticize it.

    Best? No such thing...

    My favourite- Xbox controller, like most people the fact that im accustomed greatly influenced my decision. I tried to use the PS3 controller the other week and just couldn't manage it, the thumb sticks were too high up on the pad, the triggers were too close together etc. However if i had been using a PS3 controller from the beginning; im sure i would prefer that more.

    I'd try a racing wheel, but I'm not gonna spend $100 on one. There are other things that I actually want waiting for that money.
    I don't want a big car, particularly. I have no need for acreage, and I don't like the fuel bills. But I don't want a small one because they're all like supermarket own-brand cola: weedy imitations of the real thing - Jeremy Clarkson

    That's not much of an endorsement. They can use any USB controller that has Windows drivers.
