Re: Joysticks and wheels?

any = every kind of joystick/wheel by any company, as long as it's connected by USB?

Re: Joysticks and wheels?

Any USB device is fair game. Some may need drivers; I'm not sure about those. (I'd figure they're probably legal, though.)

Some teams use steering wheels on their control panels.
