Firstly yes, i know that keyboard and mouse rules. couldn't agree more. BUT sometimes a controller does a better job in certain games..

I bought a Logic3 freebird wireless controller, it was great but someone went under my best and got crushed when i got on it. Opened, it up and it there was only one visible problem which i inprovised and solved. But then my left stick was just completely messed up (pointing up when im pushing it down)

Anyways any good suggestions for replacements ?

I had the Xbox controller for PC for playing Assasins Creed and Logitech G27 for racing games.

360 pad is the only pad to have really. Windows is Microsoft.. 360's are... they make sure the most supported pad is their own.

My mate tried FIFA 13 on a PS pad and even after downloading the mappings, it still wasn't right to use.

If you are thinking about actual driving games, then a wheel is the only option tbh.

& nice wheel Jaap. :)

*Drools over the fanatec wheel with club sport pedals.

I've tried a couple of cheap racing wheels then turned to the Logitech G27 - worth every penny when playing the F1 game on the PC.

YUCK... That is the reson I have stopped playing Codemasters game... 1 car and that is it.. Yet they couldn't be bothered to make a full arcade and full sim version.. even with all the settings off, it's still only about 70 to 80% sim. Shame..


@ Nag. Fanatec wheels are by far the best main stream wheel you can get, but if you are looking at a starter wheel. Ebay a momo or other non G25/27 Logitech wheels... and yeah, the pad is easy to get use to. I came from nothing but Nintendo pads and it was easy to pick up and most games have multi button layouts or even full custom.

If you've got a PS3 controller you can use this to get it working pretty much perfectly.  You'll need a bluetooth adapter to use it wirelessly.

I use the X360 emulation option, that way you dont get any issues with Games for Windows crap.

in our iracing league...logitec dfgt's and g27's mostly used....our commentator and broadcaster uses a xbox controller for the cameras which works great....heres an example..   http://www.twitch.tv/nordgar/c/2448366   u can see how easy it is to zoom in and out......even an old microsoft sidewinder control pad works great for the pc too
