Morning Discussion
When I grow up, I want to be a Tunnel Commander too. Have fun at Bethesda, Nick.
Still, there'll always be video games.

Alright, I know I'm trying to give you all a break but this is for all you Forza III guys out there, so it's kind of right on topic.
I just spent the last 3 hours testing out one of these.

Cost is about 10$ US and a few dollars shipping, it was surprisingly fast international too.
The first 10 minutes I was thinking this might be a little bit better but ultimately not worth the money and just some junk gizmo I'd throw in a drawer. I've got to say after a few hours though it's pretty damn great. Infact I don't think I'd like to race without it. Obviously it's not going to turn you in to the best player ever but it totally helps, no question.
I have real difficulty doing those finer adjusting turns without wildly swinging the thumbstick, maybe I have dumb thumbs, maybe I'm getting old or the sticks are too short, but this really helped and made me feel more control of the car and without feeling hampered I actually found myself enjoying the game more too.
For only 10bucks you can't go wrong, I really think it's totally worth it, it comes with 2 and you only really need 1 anyhow so you get a spare too. Very glad I got this, really enjoying the game. -
