Could any users of Verbal Commander with N2 tell me what it is like?
How effective is it for pit commands? It would be awesome to
prepare for a pitstop without typing.

TIA,
Mike

Mike, just ordered mine from 4cds.com (reputed to have the best price by
many, $49)

But your assumptions are correct.  The idea is that it is a h/w solution
which means no tsr's running, slowing your frame rate.  Your can program
20 commands.  Some scenarios that I've heard are being able to prepare
for the pit by saying a sequence like 'tires' 'enter' 'enter' (getting
right side tires only)  'wedge' 'more'  etc...

You get the idea - use the 20 programmable commands to do the 20 most
used keys.  say tires instead of f5, use more and less for the > and <
charaters.

Vebal Commander works great for N2, a must have for online racing. Sure
makes pitting a whole lot easier. I use mine like below for number of tires
changed, spoiler changes, repair or not, and autobrake for pit road. Works
very well.
