I need some help, would this controller be better for racing games like NFS over the arrow keys on a keyboard?

I would say yes, the analog sticks give you more precise movements because they are analog not just a digital on/off signal such as arrow keys, but does take some getting use to, so at first you will be worse. in my opinion, however, if you want this for racing games, I highly recommend buying a cheaper racing wheel over a gamepad, provided you can spend a little extra $$$ and space isn't a huge issue. even a cheap $50 racing wheel will be 1000 times more realistic and precise feeling than a gamepad. If you dont have much cash, maybe a cheap thrustmaster steering wheel would fit well? If you have plenty of money to blow and you are really into racing games, nothing beats a logitech G27. period. (I am currently using a microsoft sidewinder steering wheel from the early 2000's and I LOVE it, im very into racing games and wish I had money for the G27...

You might be able to play a few games but not too many. Minecraft isnt one of them. The controller does not have left or right bumps and the left and right sticks. Its mainly just for racing. I cant do EVERYTHING on froza 3. To fine tune my cars i have to use a regular controller. The racing wheel has GREAT response to racing games though. I was very impressed.

Thank you very much for your answer. Did not know I needed an "access controller" sense my new head unit says it allows steering wheel control-ability. Will look into purchasing one. Thank you.

With 3rd party software that maps joystick buttons to keyboard controls, yes. Emulator users find such software very useful, but I cannot give specific recommendations. Free (as in beer) options abound. A couple paid but affordable. Some may be open source, but again I can't offer any specific recommendations.

Searching on the web I couldnt find any reference for this compatibility, yet, you must try searching on users guide because this controller seems to be very flexible about compat. Luck

I don't believe it may fully wotk out of box but a quick search yields this thread which may be worth a read:http://forums.logitech.com/t5/PC-Gaming/Gamepad-f310-Mac-Compatibility-how-to-install-on-a-Mac/td-p/529274Some folks seem to have workarounds but a Mac might not read the X-input format, only traditional direct input. In other words you may be able to use the controller in one mode but not the other.

I would think so. I use mine for mapping keystrokes as a sizzle button and works great. As long as you can input the characters its should work fine. :D

Its ok...if you want a better game pad I would go with the Nostromo N52...it has keys that are NOT offset and its more comfortable with your hand...the only reason I bought this one over the N52 was because of the price...hindsight I would have spent the xtra money on the Nostromo

I use it for SNES, NES and Genesis emulators with no issues. I actually prefer the keyboard sometimes, depending on what game I am playing.

i´m not sure if this game support any racing wheels because if not a driving simulator man, i play this game with pad controller and respond very good... greetings.

Yes you can provided you have the correct drivers, however for my controller one of the bumper buttons broke after only a few months, if you're going to be using it heavily I wouldn't recommend this controller.

If you have them directly set up to activate hotkeys in game or any other app. it will definitely act as a trigger for it.As far as the keyboard goes, I have a brand new yet defective keyboard.I'd recommend you spend a bit more money and get something worth it. 50$ for lots of headaches... not worth it.GL

If you plus it a usb 3 port which is blue it will not work . It has to be in usb 2 ports only. And try to down load the software for the controller too. Some games might not work with this controller aswell. Kinobo USB Gamepad for PCs XP/Vista/Windows 7 and be fine. I got win. 7 and 8.1 and it work with no problems at all. I use it for driving games like for all NFS games.

I play with the regular xbox controller and I love it. Why would you need a steering wheel? Just use your normal controller...

you could probably use a third party program to bind the keys. i don't know how well kotor will play without an analog stick.

I've used it only with driving games on a PS3 w steering wheel & foot pedals, and it was very responsive, prolly due to high refresh rate combined with its fancy processor. Looks really good on axis, but suffers from side viewing.
