Question X-Box: Which controller and Steering Wheel?

Afternoon all,

I'm looking to get another controller for my X-Box. Has anyone got any specific recommendations, or know which ones to avoid?

I'm also looking for a steering wheel with pedals, again any specific recommendations?

Regards,

Kris.

That's the one to go for. More comfortable for most people although some do still prefer the original (larger) controller.

BTW, I have an official Lotus Xbox wheel with pedals that is still boxed and has never been used. If you are interested lmk and I will post it in the classifieds. Need to see how much they go for now. I know I paid £49.99 from Game but they're probably a bit cheaper now.

Features

The official Lotus Wheel designed in association with the Lotus Engineering group

Officially licensed Xbox wheel with analogue technology for precision control

Replica sports pedals provide a realistic driving experience

Responsive racing paddles for fast gear changes and pedal-free control

Unique clamp allows for tabletop or laptop driving position
