Too bad it was almost as much to send it :?

It's worth every cent - even 40 $.

Anyone in or near Huddersfield might want to check out Games 2 U.
They have a brand new boxed NegCon for £1.99. Also a few cheap Airpads and Madkatz hand-held racing wheels.
I got mine from their Halifax shop for the same price.
:D

Are you turning it properly?
I've found that the least painful way to use it is to think of it as a stearing wheel - I use my arms to rotate the whole unit in the direction I want to turn in, while twisting at the same time.
I hope that makes sense lol.

Having said that, I don't use it with any Wipeout game because I find it a little too cumbersome to control pitch with my thumb on the D-pad while steering with my wrists. It just feels a bit uncoordinated and indirect.
I wouldn't be without it in Ridge Racer 4 though.:D

...hehe, and I can read the page without any problems :radar
30 Euros? Hm... If it is really as good as everybody says it's okay I think. But I would have to test a NeGcon before I would buy one. Most of the time I'm really satisfied with the original PS-Controler.
I'm curious about the PS3 controler - I'm not sure if they are good for playing WipEout - they are so small and - but's that does not matter for the handling - look a little bit like a Boomerang. We'll see if Sony will change that. The most important thing is that there will be a new WipEout...

negcon so much more precisely - it's worlds apart in my opinion. After a short time I improved all my results.
It's so much better than any analog stick.

I used a neGcon for the first time tonight at skipper's place...
words cannot describe the improvement to the game.
wipeout (especially 2097) was BUILT to be played with a neGcon
the piranha is a totally different ship and the Qirex is a lot more drivable too.

I've been playing the first 3 emulated on my PC, but tonight's experience has convinced me to go buy a PSX and a neggy
