Cool I might order one too. I sold my wheel recently since I was never able to get a suitable rig to mount it to. Maybe something like this can help.

Thumbs up Re: SpeedFreek

I honestly thought it was a gimmick, but within a short time I was running laps nearly as fast as I can with my wheel...pretty cool little gadget!

By the way, Silverfox & HveHitter both use one.

I used it last night. I guess one area where it helps is the endurance races. TreeTop was getting thumb fatigue by the end of the race and I was still in good shape. I don't know if it really adds any more degree's of accuracy, but it definitely eases the tension of your thumb on the stick.

Well, in my case it most defiantly did because I was in the habit of holding my left stick forward. I picked that up from playing MotoGP. I'm still not as consistent with the controller as I am with the wheel, but I don't hate racing with it anymore.

By the way, it fit's your PS3 too...so you'll be all set for GT5!

I'am like mine more and more everyday. I was kind of hard to get use to, but now I can really tell the difference it makes after playing for a while
