I second that you "need" an analog controller. Sure, maybe some whiz is
getting good times out of a keyboard in racing sims, but an analog controller
is just so much more intuitive, satisfying and realistic. And you can get a
decent stick for $40. I, so far, prefer my stick to the wheels I've tried.
But I far prefer using my CH Pro Pedals for throttle/brake than using the
stick Y-axis. To each his own ... but at least get a stick!!
