The sensitivity on those upper level R and any of the top balanced P class cars can be exceptionally “twitchy” indeed.
The Mazda you’re talking about is no doubt the 787b, which is 'extremely twitchy" when on the brink of its power.
I found it very extra responsive to steering inputs. But once I got into the 'leaning into the corner" rather than just turning into it, steering became a great deal easier in general.
However, on exit, I sometimes found I was over steering, thus causing the car to loose control easily.
I fixed that by allowing the car to simply correct its self as I began the straights, almost letting off all input, the steering centred itself, and I just powered on. But dropping the “Tap Steering” certainly helped fix 80+% of my steering issues.
I managed to get the Mazda up to 6th from the top in the Asia Pacific Region, and while I’ve slipped down since the Jag made its appearance, I’m still positioned at 12th.
But before getting to understand the twitchyness of the car, I barely managed to even finish a race without major damage or just generally gave up.
A hint, don’t put the taller thumbstick said on the Elite when you get it. Stick with the middle ones. They have the concave tops, and the thumbs rests nicely in them.
Plus, the length gives a smoother turning ability, while the taller ones ad to the twitchiness, and have the convex tops. Making thumb steadiness a little more uncomfortable on longer sessions.
The smallest ones are great for FPS games, again being concave helps a great deal with getter control over the player in the game.
Additionally, no matter what dome might say, you DO NOT GET A WIDER TURNING CIRCLE with the tallest thumbsticks.
Reason being. The diameter on the standard thumsticks centre poet is the exact same size as the Eliyes. Additionally. The bore of the opening in the face of the controller panel is the same diameter as the standard controller.
Thus the distance traveled left and right is the exact same distance as that of the standard controller. Making the turning circles the same. The Elite controllers are more sensitive than the standard ones, but well worth nabbing one.
They are really worth the money…
