Does anyone have one/use one? best option's for around £100?
I've seen some, but they are no less then 200 euros, I have found a thread here that might be interesting, you could make it yourself for about 40 pounds.
The Fanatec one works great.
It's fairly stout, and uses it's own interface to connect.
They're running $120 in the US, with the USB adapter for them.
I'm not sure what the European pricing is though.
+1 for the Fanatec one, have used a friends, and will be getting my own shortly.
The Fanatec is great, I'd absolutely recommend you to buy it!
My clubsport hand brake arrived today and is working well :) thanks all!
My question is how are you guys mounting it? do you have a desk or full race rig?
Does Dirt Rally support analog handbrake? It's still just an on/off switch right?
I got an obutto ozone race rig and drilled it to the gear mount as I only use the sequential shifters on my wheel anyway.
It detects the handbrake as "axis-x" but in the calibration screen their is no slider graphic to show the axis working. That said, it does feel in game that the more you pull on the handbrake, the more effective it becomes.
Perhaps @KickUp could shed some light on it?
I have a cockpit setup that's similar to an arcade cabinet, so I just screwed it to the inside of the right wall, mounted vertically.
You could probably do the same thing on the leg of a desk, if it's in the right position.
There are screw holes all over the thing, and the handle is reversible, allowing it to be mounted in a variety of orientations.
Interesting, I haven't heard of Obutto, but I've been looking for rigs. Recommended? I currently use a cheap Chinese wheelstand that I mountes a piece of wood onto, and my Fanatec shifter on that so I could get that ridiculous table clamp out of my kneees, was thinking about making some kind of adapter to attach to the side of the shifter, but i feel like it might break the cheesy wheelstand.
Had this for over a year and very happy with it.
Do we know if analog handbrakes will be supported in Dirt 4?
I have the Fanatec handbrake. It's a nice piece of hardware, and while the price may seem high, it's nothing compared to most of the other stuff on the market. Seems like Fanatec is one of the few hardware developers not sticking to the massively expensive boutique sim racing hardware market where people spend more on their sim rigs than I do on my REAL car.

Yeah, i ordered the one from the Amazon link @CatBadders posted for $99.
still puzzles me why logitech and thrustmaster dont make a basic one. would sell like hotcakes.

If they could do it for around $60-$70 I think they'd find a decent market for them, but I don't know if they could pull it off and still have it feel as good for that price point.
