the problem with wheel is also, that some users can't really use them .. for example, i can't use it, i am on a wheelchair, i don't have enough strenght to use it, so the keyboard is only solution .. i also love military warplane games but i can't play it, coz they're made only for joystick and it's impossible to play on keyboard, except some arcadish crap .. And i am very afraid, that the racing games are going into the wheel controllers more and more, so the wheel will prevail and keyboard will be useless.. good example is Colin McRae3 on a tarmac, with keyboard u can't find the car limit, in CMR2 u could .. and that really sucks .. Looks like the game makers don't give a rat about keyboard players.. their excuse is "the wheels are getting cheap, why dont we make our game for a wheel?" ..
I'm from Slovenia, so the wheels here are from 60 euros onwards.. u can have really good wheel for about 100 euros..
