If any of you guys are still using a D-pad and not one these:

then run out and get one. Holy crap, the difference between this and thumbsticks is just night and day!
The major fault of this controller: No bumper buttons. It's inexplicable why it doesn't come with bumpers but it does not. That means for games (like Forza) which require bumpers to navigate certain windows (like tune options) you'll have to turn off the wheel, turn on a regular controller, do what you want, turn off the controller, then turn the wheel back on. It's a pain in the ass, yes, but once you drive with this wheel you won't go back to thumbsticks.
Other than that the wheel is brilliant, don't ask me why someone didn't think of making this thing years ago. It's not as precise as the fancy $500 wheels nor does it have turn stop/feedback but for less than $50 it's a no brainer. I'm probably going to buy a second for parties because this makes racing games accessible for almost anyone.
