I'm looking for a steering wheel that is compatible with OS X

I ordered EA's 'SHIFT 2' for my Mac Pro. I am looking for a steering wheel
to use with the game but can't find one that says it supports OS X.

Does anyone have any insight into this problem?

I'm tired of driving using a joystick.

Thanks,
Oldguy1

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Of course you've already googled, "best steering wheel for mac" and found the links unacceptable?


That practice gets less useful every week, as spammer link farms game the Google ranking algorithm. Doing searches like "best refrigerator" or "best iPhone car adapter" usually bring you stores who just want to sell you what they have, and fake "review" sites that just want you to click through to the ads.

Really, the best way to get advice is not to do a generic search like "best ___" but to ask on a forum where real humans answer with real opinions. I can't fault the original poster for asking here, it's perfectly reasonable and usually a more efficient use of someone's time.

I'm not faulting the OP for posting here. In as much as the OP never mentioned what actions he took I was trying to determine what the OP had done already so I don't have to play 20 questions. Whether or not the words, "best" appear or not in the search is inconsequential. Google search is a valuable tool. Sometimes an issue is so esoteric that one needs to know where to look to maximize the response.

is there any way to use the Thrustmaster wireless 430 cockpit scuderia edition with a Mac? officially it's only for PC and ps3. but I mean, my joysticks aren't meant for macs, but my mac has been able to recognize its inputs and I can manually map the axes and buttons to functions in the games or simulators. only the LCD on the joystick and one particular switch can't be used on my mac. what do you guys think, for this thrustmaster wireless 430 cockpit scuderia edition? thanks!
