The only controller I use for driving in Beam is a Logitech wireless Gamepad F710 which emulates an Xbox 360 controller. But the thumb sticks are positioned like a Playstation controller. I can control most cars ok with it for what the controller is worth.
Used a 360 controller until it decided it didn't want to work, have a G27 in the mail en route right now, should be here later today or tomorrow, hopefully the first.
the xbox one controller. IMHO, it is miles better than the xbox 360 controller aside from the fact that microsoft doesn't have a hard wired version
this is a big bump but i use mouse and keyboard but am getting adaptors to use xbox 360, gamecube and wii u pro controllers
