 Wanted to get a wheel for //[[outrun_2|OutRun 2 SP]]//, here're my notes on the [[Logitech]] wheels, roughly in order of price/quality. Skipped wheels that aren't at least gear driven / have proper force feedback.
-  * **Driving Force EX**: Only 200° rotation, but probably fine for arcadey games. Those wheels as old at this are a bit slow, which is not ideal for //Initial D// and stuff like that? I seem to do best in //OutRun// with this one, for some reason, even though (or because??) it's the stiffest/slowest.

-  * **Driving Force Pro**: Similar to the EX, but spins the full 900°. Can switch between 900° and 200° with key combo. These're both under $100.

I seem to do best in //OutRun// with this one (compared to the **GT**), for some reason, even though (or because??) it's the stiffest/slowest.
-  * **Driving Force GT**: This one has decent PC support, and sounds like a decent step-up over the Pro and EX in regards to quality and responsiveness. Doesn't let you switch between 900° and 200° without using a setup program, so if the game doesn't handle it would be a pain. Most importantly [[outrun_2|OutRun 2 SP]] handles it fine :) Seem to cost between $120-150.

   * **G***: The G* wheels are the more serious ones. Larger wheel size, leather grip, clutch peddle and proper gear sticks. The G27 seems to be the most available, but is round the $200 mark. Not sure if the G29 even works on the PS2.

+I'm not that fussy about this kinda thing, but it'd be nice to be able to plug it into my computer monitor (DVI, VGA). Seems a bit of a faff though.
+  * You can buy HDMI cables for it?
+  * YpbBr over VGA is tricky, 'cause you have to run games in progressive scan, and not all support this.
