Curious if anyone plays Forza on PC?
I wont be getting the wheel but really need something other than the kb/mouse
Looking around for deals on controllers and looks like I can use the Xbox One controllers

any feed back or suggestions??

Horizon is suerb mate,just has heavy requirements on the graphics front.
My 970 isnt pushing much past medium settings.

Im using a 360 controller on my pc.

If you want wireless then make sure to go for the one listed like above as windows so you get the dongle with it.

Got a steam controller,used it about twice mate,its handy for stuff that doesnt work native with controllers as you can force it to work with anything but it is nowhere near as user friendly or as comfortable to use as an ms pad.

well i just played forza 6 on ultra..
ehh i cant do this on the keyboard lol its a joke to race on keyboard..
its too bad i cant use the mouse lateral position to steer

um sorta defeat its purpose as a wireless controller lol. theres a wireless adaptor for the xbo controller but im not gonna get that until i find a game i really like .. i should be able to find a wired 360 cheap on craigslist
 
The one I listed on amazon come with the wireless adapter.

Thing with the steam controller is - if it was your lone controller & you forced yourself to get used to it then I'm sure it would do a great job.
If you grew up with the Xbox & 360 & have 360 controllers already it just doesn't seem worth the hassle to get used to the steam one.

Its got some fancy features well built etc but it's just not as good a straight game controller as the 360 pad.
