I am thinking of buying a steering wheel joystick for the PC. I am not sure if I will yet, but if I will buy one, which one do you recommend?

If it's possible, I'd rather have it for not more than €60 (which is +\- 80 dollar)
I won't be using it a lot but still the quality shouldn't be too bad.

Thanks in advance

I've always had an issue with video game driving peripherals and their lack of full range of movement. It bugs the hell out of me!

I'm going to make a guess that, the best bang for your buck, might actually be tracking down one of the console steering controllers. So, like the 360 one or something.

But those aren't exactly cheap either.

If you really just want something ... that works. I think the absolute cheapest option would be to track down like a PS1 steering wheel and use a PS1-USB adapter. (They have drivers so they act like standard controllers for games that support that kinda thing)

There's also the ability to use a Wii controller if you're down with that. You'd have to map the controls yourself (which actually means you could make it ignore improper acceleration)

I'm sure some other people will know other options. But I do think the cheapest would be to find a console controller of some kind and adapt it.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
