Which Is Best??Wheel Or Gamepad Or Even Keyboard??

[Małcin]

And Why??

The best depends on your personal preferences...

I used keyboard / mouse for many years (FS15-FS22),

Positiv: you can drive a straight line because of the digital steering wheel.
Negativ: many people call this method :
"press W-key simulator"

now i use a steering wheel with acivated centering spring (FS25)

i changed my gear because now i can use the new "hold the line" helper
i press my foot pedal to speed up, press bottons on my joystick to lower/raise the tools or to aktivate the "hold the line helper",
at the end of the line i turn my tractor with my steering wheel.

The steering wheel method feels more intuitive and immersive.

I personally don´t like gamepads in general so i cann´t give any feedback for this...


Hint_1: if you use many input devices (and maybe mods), the game has some light bugs,
for example: sometime i cann´t change my radio station, then i have to get out of my tractor and get back in.

Hint_2: if possible, use HDR,
all games looks way better with HDR on...

I'm on keyboard and a gaming laptop back since FS19 when I first started playing this series to this day even. I also play ETS2 and ATS with keyboard. It suits best for my portable setup and I've never had any problem with it. Answers to your question will vary according to what suits each player. There's nothing like best answer honestly.

It depends more on your play position. A dozen years ago in FS13 I too used a mouse and keyboard caveman style. There may have been bugs. I was positioned in a office chair. It worked well but I always thought I could improve my play. So I bought a no feedback wheel with two pedals. Oh, I was driving myself into the ground getting all the crops in a FS15.

My path with a wheel continued with a new lazy boy chair to drive from in FS17.
Everything changed in 19...

I went couch and console controller. With a lounger I find i can gruel out any farm for twelve hours at a stretch with a well stocked fridge and pantry.

I remain this way to this day. Controller in hand in a reclined positioned all stretched out for a hard day at the farm.

I chose comfort over form.
