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.

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. Gary

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. -Larry
