I'm looking forward to using the PS5 controller.

GT Sport's implementation of FFB annoyed me greatly, so I ended up using my pad most of the time, even if that put me at a slight disadvantage in Sport mode races.
If GT7 improves on this, (which I'm sure it will to some extent,) I'll probably end up using both. If it's the same as it always was though, I see no reason to not just use the Dualsense.

It will be the Dualsense for me, I don't have the space for a wheel and stuff. Besides I feel that a controller isn't half bad.

I think I have space to use a wheel but I don't have space to store a wheel if that makes any sense. But I agree the dualsense ain't too bad for racing

It is 👍
Thrustmaster PS4 equipment compatible with the PS5
In recent days, both Fanatec and Logitech have indicated that their Playstation 4 licensed hardware can be used on the PlayStation 5, now Thrustmaster follows with this confirmation.

Wheel only. Ordered a GT DD Pro the same day it was released. Playing GT Sport on a gamepad with gyroscopic steering was excellent enough that it made me buy my current G29.
So, GT DD Pro and PS5 only for GT7. Not interested in other games.

Interesting. As of right now, more people voted wheel (15 vs 13), but in the comments, the overwhelming majority says gamepad?

It's almost like voting doesn't require that you also post.

I have a G29 for rFactor 2 and Assetto Corsa, but I will use the Dualsense for GT7 like I'm currently using for GT Sport.

Give it a rough couple of weeks to get used to playing with a wheel. It's very different when you don't got steering assist via gamepad, so you can't just jam the steering input to the left or right when entering a corner and expect the car to behave nicely - it will either understeer or oversteer to hell with a wheel. In the beginning you'll probably be slower with a wheel because of this, but after getting accustomed you should be able to be more consistent, faster, and involved in less incidents with other players online.
To be able to know how much to steer and how fast, and how much to twitch to the other side to counter-steer, you need good FFB settings. Follow Fanatecs recommendations on their forum. When the wheel is heavy, you got grip - when the wheel is light, you lost grip - when it goes light and rattling, you're severely understeering. That's about it. It's super intuitive when you get used to it, and it enables you to react to everything much quicker than by using visual input.
With bad FFB settings, everything is either light or heavy, with no detail or dynamic range - you have no or very little idea about grip level.
This applies to GTS, which is probably very similar or identical to GT7. I haven't bothered with other games.

Solid advice! I find trail braking and half throttling on the controller pretty difficult and I hope this will be easier with pedals. Also reacting to just visual input is not something I can do well at all. I think the Dualsense will help with these in GT7. Anyway I'm not trying to be the fastest, just to have a good time.

Personally, a wheel. Although I think GTS's FFB left a lot to be desired. I sincerely hope they've 1) tweaked the FFB (particular surface feel and FF car response) and 2) actually offer decent FoV flexibility this time (as it definitely affects wheel user experience).
Fwiw, I played GT Sport with the controller motion controls in its first year or so at release, and I still maintain it was brilliant...best example I've seen of it on PS4. Sadly though it was massively underrepresented by PD as they clearly put some effort into it but barely communicated the ability....but I would imagine in combination with the Dualsense haptics etc on PS5, you would have a bloody good representation of driving experience with the controller alone. Hope it returns for GT7.

Agree on the motion controls! I was sceptical at first but gave it a go and was honestly pretty blown away. I thought it was going to be shoddy and unresponsive (like most games with motion control features), but it ended up being the exact opposite.
Hope it returns aswell, it honestly felt more flexible than using the sticks sometimes.
