This is the setup I use to play and stream classic Need for Speed games.
Nothing over the top — just reliable gear that keeps the experience simple and authentic.

PDP Xbox One Rematch Glow Wired Controller (Blue Tide)

This is my main controller for playing Need for Speed on PC.

I prefer a wired Xbox-style controller because it feels responsive and close to the original console experience.

Simple, comfortable and perfect for long sessions.

Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Italia Steering Wheel

I occasionally use the Thrustmaster 458 Italia steering wheel for a different driving feel.

While Need for Speed is mostly a controller-based game, a wheel can be fun for cruising and specific races.

A classic wheel that fits the arcade racing style.

Turtle Beach Recon 70

I use the Turtle Beach Recon 70 for game audio and basic voice monitoring.

It’s lightweight, comfortable and does exactly what it needs to do without distractions.

No fancy features — just solid sound.

HP 27F 4K

I play and stream on an HP 4K monitor, mainly for the sharp image and screen space.

While classic Need for Speed games don’t need 4K, the extra clarity makes everything look cleaner on stream.
