 Hi,
 Well, the Logitec Momo Racing Wheel should give you the features you are
 asking for. As far as price goes it is about $99.00 USD. That's not that
 expensive in my opinion, but we all have our opinions what constitutes
 expensive.
 As far as accessible racing games that gives you pretty good support for
 the racing wheel I'd say it is Rail Racer. You can do some pretty good
 turns with the wheel, use the gas to speed up, release the gas to slow,
 use the shifter to switch gears, etc. I'd definitely recommend RR and
 the Logitec Momo Racing Wheel if you are into racing games.
 As for USA Raceway eventually I still hope to add support for force
 feedback racing controllers like the Momo Racing Wheel. However, because
 support for the Momo Racing Wheel is OS specific I'll have to add it to
 the Windows port of the game while excluding it in non-Windows versions
 of the game.

 I was just curious- are there any games that simulate a real driving

 break,
 gas, etc? And of course, a shifter? And if you don't shift just right, 
 you
 lose, or stall the engine, or some such? That would be majorly fun imho. 
 I
 doubt that a steering wheel with that many features would be cheap, 
 though.

 Hi Charles,
 I would recommend the Logitec Rumble Pad. I have a Logitec Rumble Pad
 with 10 buttons and it is a nice controller, and it only cost me about
 $40.00 at Best Buy. Here are the features.

 1. 10 programmable buttons.
 2. A POV hat for changing player's point of view.
 3. Two minijoysticks for handling player movement.
 4. Force feedback support.
 5. USB 2.0 compatible.
 6. A speed throddle.

 I'm planning to buy one device, and only one device, that will enhance my 
 gaming.  Game pad?  Joystick?  I'm not sure what to get or how much it 
 will cost and how easily it is used on games for the blind.  I want force 
 feedback for when a game includes it.  I don't want billions of buttons 
 if I don't need them.  (grin)  I'll probably get swamped with responses, 
 which is cool.  The responses I want, though, should be informative.  I 
 don't merely want one like Get the 86-RB-12.  I want, in essence, your 
 experiences with your suggested device.  Why should I get this one as 
 oposed to another?  What, if anything, makes it stand out.  It must work 
 with Windows XP, and, preferably, a USB device or something that will 
 hook to a PC that is not all that new.  Also, if software must be 
 installed, sighted assistance must not be required.  I use JAWS 9.0. 
 Thanks.
