Racing optimised gamepad

[CtrlAltELITE]

Hey folks

 

As per the title, does such a thing exist? I am a fairly massive racing/sim fan, I own a wheel (Logitech G25) and use it often. However more often than not I like just lying in bed, casting my game to the TV & playing an arcade racer with my gamepad. The old Thrustmaster GPX I have has finally packed in & my Nvidia Shield controller doesn't work on Forza so I am needing to pick myself up a new one.

 

I pretty much exclusively play racing games with my pad, shooters/MMOs I tend to use mouse + keyboard. I am just wondering if there are any gamepads about with racing optimised features? Long travel triggers & left stick would be nice, maybe analogue stick inputs too for use for binding to a clutch.

There is no such thing as a gamepad optimized for racers.  What budget do you have for a controller ?  Just get a xbox controller and call it a day.

this has more compatibility in it than the g25 i hope is what you mean

on a side note. you might want to add this to your experience if you don't have one since you love racing

Ah well, I figured, since you get mice optimised for FPS/MMO you might get gamepads optimised for FPS/Racing, as there are loads of features that would make a pad better in racing, but a pain to use in FPS (like really long travel analogue buttons)
