Is it true that there is no keyboard support in N3? And if so, what type of
wheel would be the best to get (keep in mind i'm on sort of a limited budget).

Thanks in advance.

Keyboard works..... seems a little different than in N2 to me, but it works
fine.

For cheap wheels, you can't beat Thrustmaster.

After seeing the rave review PC Gamer gave the Andretti Racing Wheel I
decided to give it a try.  I have a Thrusmaster 1 and a TM Pro Racing Wheel.
The Pro Racing Wheel has only been used 8-10 times...like new.  If you want
it I'd give it to you for $40.00.  But to be honest the Andretti wheel I
just bought for $69.99 blows it away by a long shot.  I'd be willing to sell
you my old T-1 in very good working order for $25.00 + shipping.

CompUSA has a wheel for $29.99 and one with pedals for $49.99. I haven't used
either, but saw that they had them for sale at that price.

Wanna bet?  When my first one broke, I beat the hell out of it...:)

I'm now on my second one.  First one pedal springs AND wheel bungee broke.
I could repair the pedals, but the wheel proved too much of a challenge for
me to come up with a suitable replacement (and yes, I did contact TM, who
told me I was SOL on parts).

What I don't like about the T2 wheels is that the bungee is very poor
quality.  I used it maybe 10 times (light use at that), and  started feeling
'looser'.  I'm sure it's only a matter of time before that one snaps like my
other one did.

If you can deal with the wacky pedals (almost over-engineered), then the
MadCatz PC Andretti Racing Wheel is an absolute bargain at $70.

It's fully digital, which means it's very accurate, but it also means it
won't work with DOS games.

If you can live with it's design limitations (pedal base and stupid
single-screw attachment system on the steering wheel) then the ThrustMaster
Nascar Pro is good and it's also under $100.

Logitech just came out with a non-ff version of their wheel at under $100,
but it's got the same bizarre pedals as the FF version.

The MSFFW has great pedals, a 'grindy' but nice wheel, but it's out of your
budget, as I suspect most ff wheels are.
