Swapping from sticks to wheel??

[matt]

Has anyone swapped from sticks to wheel?
After getting back into racing a few months ago after a 8 year break, one of the first things I got was a ko universe(last radio i had). But my thumbs aren't what they used to be and my right thumb hurts at the end of the day. I'm tempted to try a cheap wheel and see how it goes but not sure how long it would take to get used to it.
Anyone tried and how long did it take you?
