<p>On stackoverflow I've asked this question before, hoping to get information on existing software/drivers that would enable me to do this and/or pointers I might need to be able to write the needed software myself. I didn't really get the canned reply I was hoping for, so I'm trying again on this StackExchange site, hoping the gamer crowd has already encountered this situation and <em>can</em> point me in the right direction.</p> <p>In a nutshell I am looking for a software solution for the following situation (<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1392429/how-to-mix-and-match-inputs-from-two-game-controllers-into-one-virtual-controll" rel="nofollow">see stackoverflow for more information</a>):</p> <ul> <li>OS: Windows XP/Vista/7</li> <li>Software with legacy joystick control, which only allows one joystick to be used</li> <li>Want to attach two joysticks and use a mix of analog stick(s) and/or buttons from both to control the legacy software</li> <li>Would prefer solution that uses existing "man-in-the-middle" software or an actual joystick driver for use in the Game Controller control panel</li> </ul> <p>P.S. Total Game Control seems like a great product, but it is of no use in this scenario.</p>

<p>I've often toyed with the idea of buying a racing wheel for some racing-sim action (I don't mind arcade-racing on a pad, but I can never get into sims).</p> <p>There's obviously a reasonable scene surrounding racing simulation on the PC, but whenever I consider it from the position of someone that tends to prefer arcade racers, games like Forza and NFS:Shift seem to be appealing and polished in a way that the PC sims aren't.</p> <p>Have you ever invested in a wheel for use on a console? If so, which wheel did you use, and did you feel it provided enough use / value for money?</p>
