Whats The Best Race Wheel Controller?

Post by PATRiCKCiA:MetalHead »

I looking up the stuff I should no before buying a Dreamcast & I heard the controls for racing games are kinda, sucky, & that the race wheel controllers greatly improve controlling, but when I looked up what I can buy on Amazon I found a bunch & I am kinda burnt on which one I should buy. :lol:

I only have experience with the thrustmaster wheel. supposedly it's the best I've heard but it doesn't hold a candle towards the modern steering wheels. I really wish I could play those on my dreamcast in a racingseat as the dreamcast is the true mother of racinggames

I have 3, Mad catz and another i dont remember (because they're at the attic) and i only use the original sega wheel... it lacks separate pedals, but its ages in advance in built quality, spring stiffness and overall feeling. Just make sure to duct tape it to the table before playing (same goes for all DC wheels).

No pedals. But it has two analogue paddles just behind the wheel and they work great. The wheel sorts out Daytona's twitchy controls in my experience.
