Forza wheels?

Hey, what wheels are you guys using for Forza?

You mean steering wheels? I have a Microsoft one, but I've been using the controller mostly. I'm going to construct some sort of sit-down setup when I have someplace to put one.

All I've got is the controller. Game works fine for me that way.

I use the controller. I've got a microsoft wheel and pedals, but it never seems convenient or comfortable.

Quoted for truth! This guy is QUICK!

As for me, I am lounging around the back of the field with a microsoft wheel system. I need to get a higher coffee table though, because by the end of the 10 lap races we do, my back is KILLING me.

I was contemplating getting a MS Wireless wheel, but I've read some really bad reviews as to their quality and the last two places I checked locally didn't have one anyway. Was seeing if there were other options besides the MSWW and the Mad Cats wheel (as the G25 no workie with the xbox)

There's really only two worth mentioning. The Microsoft wheel is it if you are on a budget. Its ok but not great, there are some warranty voiding upgrades that make it better. I picked mine up used on e-bay for around $40. The other is the Fanatec 911 Turbo S if you want a high quality setup. The Fanatec is expensive but very nice and upgradeable, they have a set of load cell pedals you can replace the stock ones with, and a nice aluminum shifter as well.

The Microsoft wheel will also work on the PC with a wireless gaming adapter, that will also allow you to use wireless x-box controllers on the PC if you want. The Fanatec will work on the PS3, 360, and PC with the right dongles.

I've got both the MS wheel and the Fanatec. Both are quality wheels.

After using both, I'd say that you should only get the Fanatec if you're planning on using its clutch or getting the upgraded pedals. The stock pedals on the Fanatec are much better than the MS pedals, however.

If you use the MS wheel, shove a couple of wedges of foam between the pedal arm and the base to give it a more reasonable effort. The stock amount of effort is WAY too low. It's rather difficult to modulate as it comes from the box.

It took me about a week or two to get used to using a wheel, but I would never go back to a controller.

I would be all over the Fanatec wheel if I didn't need to sell a kidney to buy it...

I'm faster with the regular controller, but I enjoy the experience more with a wheel. The MS wheel is pretty decent (especially with the foam block trick mentioned above) but I'd really like to try the Fanatec setup.

Faster with the controller !?!? that's actually a bit disappointing. I thought a wheel would translate into more precise control of the cars and thus faster times.

I don't like the joystick steering since I think its hard to dial exactly the right amount of turn in, and its easy to get into a patter of over correction, but I have not tried the wheel yet...
