The wiimote/wheel's fun and good for novelty, but I think the lack of control and rapid-fast responsiveness will make it hard for courses like Rainbow Road 8| I've switched to the gc controller a few days ago and have never looked back, haha.

Totally not worth the pain for that wheel emblem. I haven't touched the wheel since day one.

It's the thing that appears next to your name when you're racing online. I think the other players can only see it.

How do you get it? By using the wheel 100%? That's nothing to be proud of really :/

I agree about the lack of controll. I got together with some friends...we rotated around using the wheel, a GC controller, the remote and nunchuck, and the classic controller. The other three options all worked better than the wheel.

I absolutely LOVE using the Wii Wheel... offline, XD!

It's fun to try and master something different, and I've been able to cruise along with the wheel to win first place in the Grand Prix modes, but I know my limits.

I could never use the wheel, and have the precise control to win in online battles.

I am in the same boat as you.
I use the wheel for fun, but the wiimote and nunchuck for Online stuff.... and 150cc grand prix. :/

I switch between the GC wavebird and the classic controller.

I used the wheel for the first week or so, but after realizing that it was making me lose more matches than win, then I had to make the switch

which do you prefer? the classic control or the GCN control?

ive always had a GCN control and thus didnt bother buying a classic control but if its a lot better i might consider it

I think I like the GC better, only because of the button placement.

Now for Smash Bros, I prefer the classic, again, because of the button placement.

I always use the wii wheel (in automatic) :o I tried using the gamecube controller but personally I get better times with the wheel.

Maybe I just suck with manual drifting.. :p

Wii Wheel in manual ftw. ♥
I doubt I'd be able to play or dominate any other way now.

I've tried both the wheel and the controller and prefer the wheel. I find it is excellent for getting round sharp corners even in the last instance and actually prefer it for courses like rainbow road and maple treeway, just depends on your preference and taking time to get comfortable with things I guess.

i've only ever used the wii wheel. i guess i should try the other methods.

i like to use automatic for when i play online because of that blasted rainbow road everyone always seems to pick! but i used manual when i play :)

wow I can't believe so many of you guys use the wheel. I find it easier to use the gamecube controller ^^

D-Pad when you jump off a ramp.

I can't believe anyone would think about using the GC controller at all! I've only EVER used the wheel!
