ditto, if you back off your brakes it means you're not braking late enough, adjust your driving style not the brakes

I prefer the ability to adjust everything, car, controller...and driving.

As I'm sure I've said before, one thing to think about is enough. I'd rather do that 100% than fart around with knob twiddling. Anyway, ay 77, I'm too old to learn new tricks.

Apart from anything else, being 77 means that experience has taught me that I know everything worth knowing and am always right Ambulance

I've only ever driven one car where I felt a brake box would be useful (and even then I adapted within half a dozen laps) and that was a car Tim Ryan asked my opinion of back at Surbiton in the 90's, this car literally stopped on a sixpence and the power came in with the biggest kick I've ever felt, that was how Tim liked it, driving that car showed me why Tim's style of driving was so stressful, and his reactions were amazing,it was a bleddy quick car but you were continually on a knife edge.

I'm a bit late to the party on this thread. I'm starting to notice discomfort in my index and middle fingers, and have been wondering if a thumb controller might be better from that perspective.

A couple of times recently I have actually tried using my trigger controller with my thumb.

Horses for courses - and needs must - when age advances, I guess.
