New to the Mac. Do any of the racing games let you drive with the mouse or do you need another type of controller?

Thanks

At least some do, but that's really not a great way to control a racing game. At least get a gamepad.

Yah but what gamepads are good? I bought a logitech dual action and I can't get the left stick to calibrate for the life of me. Is the MadCatz one any good?

Haven't even heard of that one! My Logitech Rumblepad 2 has always been fine. From what I've heard the Dual Action is like a cheapo version of the Rumblepad.

Install this driver and you can also use a Sixaxis if you have one available, or feel like getting one. All buttons work, sensitivity is good and super-precise. Just need a USB cable with a mini-USB plug. I actually prefer the controls to the Logitech.

When there's a multiplayer version, I'm going to be on Frost's team. Well, except he doesn't seem to actually need a team...I mean, what's the point? "Hey look, it's Frost and His Merry Gang of Useless Hangers-On!" Or something.
