Laptop Controller for NR2003?

[phillyphan2488]

Currently I am using the keyboard to play NR2003 and it's very sensitive and not fun. I was wondering if you guys would recommend that I get a controller for my laptop so that it feels better and less sensitive. I'm more of a console racer so I want the feel that it's a controller not a keyboard or wheel. Also, would you say that this particular controller is good for nr2003? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Logitech+-+F310+Gamepad/1260591.p?skuId=1260591&id=1218243758834 thanks guys

I use my wired Xbox 360 controller to race NR2003, so if you have one that'd be the way to go.

Get a steering wheel.

Keyboard or game pads for nr2003 are chit.

could i have your settings? i try and use a xbox controller but i think my settings are not optimum.

If you can't afford a wheel at the moment get an xbox 360 wired controller. I used that for about 2 years and it is one of the better gamepads for racing since the pressure sensitive triggers work great for gas and break. However, a force feedback wheel is the best way to go. Look around on ebay for a cheap one. The Logitech Driving Force Pro I got a few weeks ago ended up being around 55 dollars after shipping and having to get a power supply straight from Logitech.

What do you mean by settings?

What do you mean by settings?

like what did you do to set up your 360 controller? and what are your ingame settings for it?

Learning to race with a wheel is very rewarding down the road.

I absolutely agree with the above considering it helps you to drive better in the real world too.

Do you mean that you actually used the controller that I put in the link? If so was it good?

No my controller is a wired xbox 360 controller. My wheel is the Logitech Driving Force Pro. I do remember looking at the gamepad you've linked though and actually found one in Best Buy one day. I believe the 510 has vibration and might be a bit bigger. All I remember about the 310 is that it looked kinda small. Though if you are looking for a gamepad that would be good for racing, you could try this.

I almost got one before I got my wheel.

So I have a wireless 360 controller, do you think I should just get a wireless receiver and just connect the 360 controller to my laptop instead of take a chance on a gamepad?
