cheap wheel to play ets2?

[SpookyBoogie]

Hi I'm planning on getting this game because it looks awesome, but I don't wanna play it with the keyboard. I don't have a lot of money to spend on a steering wheel so can you recommend me a cheap steering wheel that gets the job done??

Thank you

How much money is cheap for you ? Give us a price.

maybe also consider a controller if you need analog steering, if you buy a wheel, you might later also need controller gear, pedals for foots, it never stops, do not make the decision to buy it depending if you can get a wheel, those are just additional goodies, the game is perfectly playable without. Maybe it makes even more fun by not having too realistic environment.

Most might be out of your range, but it would give you an overview of what's out there and what to expect.

I'm considering throwing down a few hundred bones for a G27. Christmas is coming up soon and if you're going to get a large peripheral like a wheel you may aswell go for the highest quality. For now I use a Logitech controller for analog steering and maximum comfort. I couldn't imagine playing this with keyboard & mouse.

I may try the 360 controller again but binding buttons on the g550s and having free look with the mouse seems natural.
There are so many combinations that it just goes to user preference.
i admit my hand does get cramped w,a,s,ding around the the various countrys.


The G27 setup would be awesome to try before dishing out the cash though.

It generally speaking wouldn't need much FFB really. I'm more concerned with how many degrees a wheel would turn.

I was just over to Newegg looking at that Genius F1 and it shows foot pedals next to the wheel. Do foot pedals come with that?
