Is the keyboard better than a joystick?

I don't think the keyboard is better than anything.

And yes, I use a joystick. I actually prefer it it to my black momo in LFS.

All I can say is that I first tried to play with Keyboard but I find it's impossible to drive very fast times with it (and I really missed the FF and that's half of the fun in LFS) and so I used a joystick instead (MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro) when I was a demo driver along time ago.

But after a few month i noticed that i got aches in my fingers and in the hand (think I just played to much ). So i used a wheel (MS FF USB) and after a week or two I improved my laptimes a lot. I think to use a good tuned wheel is just better then everything else.

It just feels more real then every other steering device to drive a car sim with a wheel ;-)

I happily used a joystick in racing games for years until picking up a DFP a few weeks ago. My laptimes and consistency suffered quite a bit initially and it took a couple of weeks to get used to the wheel and the force-feedback effects. Now, I'm enjoying the games even more than before and my laptimes and consistency are better than ever.

edit: I still find the LX6 to be easier to control using a joystick than a wheel. I think that's because it's easier to quickly countersteer against snap oversteer with a joystick due to the smaller amount of travel. I find all of the other cars easier to control with a wheel.

I use joystick too, a little modified though...

I use a joystick too. Its a MS Sidewinder Precision Pro withput FF. I like it too drive with the stick, much more relaxed then with wheel

i use a joystick. Microsoft sidewinder Force feedback 2, it works really well
