We asked Valve why there aren't more Steam Controller-style gamepads designed for PC first.

    Controllers are definitely the best option for racing games.

        I don’t know how playing something like redout 2, screamer or inertial drift would go on a wheel(they all use twin stick driving).

        Sim racing is definitely a wheel, but arcade racers are mostly controller for me.

        If you like steering wheels more power to you, but I have no desire to play with one.
