>The Extreme Competition Controls' "Competition Driving System" has *4*
>fingertip buttons positioned on neat extensions right above the 2 main
>horizontal spokes: 2 buttons on each side. These can all be programmed
>(as fire buttons A and B  on joysticks A and B) if the sim supports
>it. So far I've only programmed games to use the 2 outermost buttons
>on each side as shifters and one inner button for reverse on the
>Papyrus games. They sit right where your thumb rests naturally when
>you're holding the wheel. No need to take your hands of the wheel
>whilst shifting those gears!!
