In this topic, you can show your control configuration in NFS games or other driving games for PC you have with Keyboard or Joystick.

I have NFSMW, Carbon, NFSU2, and Pro Street (for PC). And also I have MC2 for PC. My control configuration in NFS games (And also MC2) with keyboard is:

NFSMW:

Accelerate: C
Brake: X
Nitrous: Z
Speedbreaker: D
Shift up: S
Shift down: A
Steer right: Right arrow
Steer left: Left arrow
Look back: B
Handbrake: Spacebar
Camera Change: V
View Blacklist: G
Next Music: T
Reset Car: R
View Map: M
View Message: Tab
Weight Transfer: Left Shift (In MC2)

Thats all.

By the way, in NFS games and MC2 for PC, I use keyboard only just because I don't have a joystick for PC. And also, you can put other driving games you have with your control configuration.

I mostly use the keyboard of NFS3, 4 and 5.  

Accelerate: up arrow
Brakes: Down arrow
Emergency Brake: spacebar
Shift: a for up and z for down

the other controls I usually leave alone.

I always use a gamepad for driving games.
It's not a ps one, but just to make me understand:

Accelerate: Cercle
Brake: Triangle
Nitrous: L2
Speedbreaker (In NFSMW and Carbon): Square
Shift up: R1
Shift down: L1
Steer right: Right arrow
Steer left: Left arrow
Look back: Cross
Handbrake: R2
Reset Car: Select
Menu or Pause: Start
Change View: L3
Enter or Accept: R3
Quick menus (like maps, sms, blacklist, etc...): Joysticks

I've been always using this configuration, with some small variations depending of the game...but it works for NFS, Toca series (grid and Dirt) and TDU.

I made another NFS game control configuration, it is Carbon. Here it is:

Accelerate: V (I can't seem to put C in Accelerate button. For some reason I usually use C in Accelerate button in other NFS games like NFSMW and Pro Street. The problem is the C button is the Camera change and cannot be configured.) :(
Brake: X
Nitrous: Z
Speedbreaker: F
Activate Crew Member/Wingman: D
View Map: M
View SMS Messages: Tab
Look behind: L (Cannot be configured, its just the default configuration of Look behind button.)
Engage Event: Enter
Reset Car: R
Shift Up: Up arrow
Shift Down: Down arrow

And thats the NFS Carbon control configuration of mine except View Map, View SMS Messages, Engage Event and Reset Car. The rest of the other controls cannot be configured:

Look Behind
Change Camera

hello....hello i didnt say it twise.
we highly recommend to ever1 to forget about keyboard. Use wheel, if you dont have a wheel play on analog sticks on any gamepad (for cornering). Keyboard used for quick acces of your hands to it.
keyboard config is recommend 1 step right from standard, it useful, it accurate, it will grant acces to any other game
standard was Q W E
                    A S D
new is WER
          SDF
you see Tab, shift, control are still acceseble. then you got variation of wich button to setup of any line of keys - bottom or top (SDF as main buttons everywhere) So...
handbrake always seted to - F
Brake always to - D
headlights/nitro to - S
horn/any other usefull key to - A
lookback to - E
look left/right to - W-R \ machine gun/missile W-R
spikestrip - X
from Z to B (expact X) has been seted to COPS keys like roadblock,change cop car e.t.c.
Gas - arrow up
turn left/righ - arrows left\right
Spacebar - reset car
Tab - map
ctrl - activate somthing
T - gear up
G - Gear down

Other side of wheel variations is - Small,plastic screw fixation, gearbox at least with 2 dir., large amount of side buttons (i have 12 buttons & hulf of them just isnt working in SIM mode that presents analouge driving in X&Y axies :p), vibration, only way u can enjoy driving and increase you skill its vibration - remember that!, Rubber on sides of wheel in the middle x axis of physical cyrcle (called wheel) (stop pay for all rubber - its all in vain...and money). Most high priced wheels are black....i dont know why but u should. good luck.
(my wheel also had sensivity calibration directly on wheel. It can be done by entering special mode when holding 9s,10s buttons. Sensivity can be set to Normal,High,Slow....depends of how quick blinks diode on the wheel.)
God! for 300bucks of g25 we can buy at least logitech chillstream 50$ + gamming keyboard logitech  180$ (?)
(ToyotaWish) Good luck dude;)

Yup, that's true. I wanted a challenge for myself, cause the arrow keys were too easy.

might get a cheaper one from some lesser known brand, but i'll keep the DFP in mind. the G25 is wayyy of my budget.
