    Keyboard and mouse players win in FPS shooters, not driving games.

    As someone who spent an inordinate about of time trying to play Test Drive III with a keyboard, I can assure you that a keyboard is a terrible interface for driving.

    Later, Test Drive Le Man’s and PGR3 helped me learn that a controller is better than a keyboard, but still not great.

    A wheel is by far the best control mechanism for a car.

      Well, here I am challenging that idea, and apparently that is a bit too much for most, but I have yet to be given any proof of the superiority of the wheel.

      I for one would prefer to control my car using a theremin. How can you know that it is not better, if no one has ever tried it?

        Well, if you truly think it’s better you’re welcome to put your money on the line to develop a prototype theremin-controlled vehicle and provide real world data to prove that it’s a better mechanism for controlling vehicles on public roads than a wheel and pedals.

        Until that happens, I’m going to stick with the proven technology.
