I have a X360 joy pad the control in car games aint that good.
I had to used 3rd party drivers XBCD drivers for better control and it was a bit of pain to configure.
Also the sticks are more smooth on the logitech and the dpad also has a better feel on the Logitech.
Sorry dont mean to dishearten you.
Congrats on your purchase though.
