Picked up a copy of GRID, now need a controller

[Jim Bancroft]

I bought the original GRID the other day for $15, and am quite impressed. But I've been using the keyboard to steer with, and that's frustrating.

Are there any decent controllers out there I can use with my PC? I don't need anything fancy, but solid.

Pretty much any Xbox 360 wired controller will work best, or the Logitech one.

A wired Xbox 360 gamepad or Xbox One gamepad will work great with almost all newer PC games, GRID included.

Every PC gamer should own one.

It also works great with STEAM Big Picture.

The wireless version can be a PITA. Would do the wired USB model.

I used a wireless one for the time that I played it and had no issues.

I've been using a wireless 360 controller for a couple of years now and it works flawlessly. Never had a single issue.

PS2 controller all the way. Only downside for what you want it for is it lacks pressure sensitivity in the triggers. Makes it a all or none for racing.

Thanks for all the tips on the Xbox controller. Keith, I assume you use yours mostly for darts, innit?

I love the wireless 360 controller for the PC. Never had a single issue with connectivity. It can be annoying to power down (it will stay on quite a bit longer than it should when receiving no input, so I just pop the battery pack real quick when I'm done with it), but apart from that, it's perfect. Works with every game straight out of the box.

Haha, nicely done! Nobody ever gets it.

I used the wired 360 controller. No batteries to change or charge.

The DualShock 4 is also pretty nice for PC gaming. You just need the DS4 to XInput Mapper driver package.
