Is it suitable pad to bikegames??

Depends... it's such an individual thing, all about your dimensions and
dexterity. A couple of guys here raved about Xterminator when SBK came
out and as PC Superstore happened to have it on sale at the time, I just
had to give it a try.

The two analog flippers are simply great for accelerating/braking, and
for gear shifting, lookback etc. you have several cleverly placed buttons
to choose from, most notably the middle finger triggers (now you've found
another use for those).

The biggest drawback for me was the sensitivity of the analog pad/stick.
Eventually got used to it in SBK but it would still seem more suitable
for pure arcade titles. Keeping in mind the inherent sensitivity of a
tiny stick, combined with the fact that you're trying to hold the line
using just one finger, the problem for me was that I always struggled to
find and keep a consistent driving line. Not very good
for precision racing.

Otoh, once I did get used to it, I've liked it better than wheel in
motorcycle sims, but only in those.
