This Thrustmaster t128 racing well is a great wheel with a lot of perks. First of all it’s more than the beginning level wheel, but for the intermediate gamer. Since it was just released, there are some games that it works perfect with, and some that will be added later. I am mostly a PC gamer, but my son is the Xbox and PlayStation gamer. This wheel worked well on my PC. I was able to customize the mapping so that I was comfortable with the controls on the wheel. I was able to download the drivers and install them seamlessly. I have been playing racing and flying games for many years, over 25, actually, and I love having a wheel to race and fly with on my PC. This comes with a standard two pedal setup, the wheel, the power cord, the usb cords and the brackets to attach it to the table. I was able to adjust the wheel to fit me comfortably at an angle. It will adjust 90°. The lights are pretty cool too and are an added thing that I enjoy. The pedals are configurable, and I like that too. One thing I didn’t care for at first, was that I had to attach it to the table, but after I got it attached, adjusted it to my comfort level, and used it, I was happy. Some of the games that I play didn’t have the T128 choice in their system yet, but it worked well with customized mapping. There are accessories you can get with this wheel too that make it all the more reason to get it. A stick shift, advanced pedal set, and other nice additions are available. I had no problems setting this up, installing it and playing with it. I’d recommend it.

The Thrustmaster T128 Steering wheel is a great entry model for those wanting to get into sim racing. The set up is super easy with 3 cords plugging into the wheel with the foot pedals, the power adaptor and the USB to PC or Xbox. Setup for the Xbox was super easy in that it instantly recognized the steering wheel immediately and you’re good to go. Setup for the PC was not just plug and play in that you have to go to the Thrustmaster website and download the Firmware for the steering wheel in order for the game to recognize it. On PC I had some issues with button mapping especially in the game Dirt 5, where the “A” Button was mapped to the “RSB” button on the wheel and the “Y” button was mapped to the “A” button. In the settings for Dirt 5 it gave you the option to map the specific actions in the game but not the actual buttons which was kind of annoying, but I’m not sure if that’s a Dirt 5 issue or a Thrustmaster. Also, I would not recommend Dirt 5 with this racing wheel (Or in wheel in general) as it is big-time off-road racing and the force feedback did not work well with this game with all the sliding, where I found myself constantly turned in the wrong direction. Forza 5 on the other hand worked great and recognized all the buttons and felt amazing with the force feedback. My only real complaint with the build of the T128 is the pedals, in that they are a lightweight plastic and would constantly move backwards when putting pressure on the pedals, where I had to take a 15lbs. dumbbell and put it behind the pedals to stop it from moving. Overall, this is a good entry product for those who want to dip their toe into sim racing and I can recommend the T128.

Getting this Thrustmaster T128 Racing wheel was such a game changer for us! We love racing games, especially our children! Having this Thrustmaster T128 racing wheel gives us a real feel of racing opposed to just using a controller on the games. We love how you get to feel the sensations when racing. Turning corners, drifting, stopping, and going just feel so much more natural using the wheel and the pedals. The steering wheel is big and provides a comfortavle grip. All the buttons are easily accessible when playing. I love how the pedals are regular normal “vehicle” size and not just toy sized. The pedals are tight and work really great for breaking and accekerating. Setting it up with our system was easy and quickly done. It didnt take learn for us to learn the controls on the steering wheel. I use it where i have the steering wheel sitting on my coffee table and the pedals right in front of me where i can be comfortable. Iblove that the pedals stay put and dont slide on my floor. Overall the Thrustmaster T128 Racing wheel gives you a realistic driving experience when gaming and makes the whole experience more enjoyable when racing!

Ever since I began playing video games I’ve loved racing games!! I’m not so much a fan of the simulator type games like Gran Turismo, I’m more of arcade type game like Need for Speed. For literally decades I’ve been playing on consoles with controller and the only time we got to enjoy the actual feel of driving with a steering wheel and pedals was if you went to an arcade..yes an arcade in a mall haha which I don’t think they even have anymore.
Upon taking this out of the box this thing is beautiful! Although plastic (I’d have liked it to be wrapped in something like a real steering wheel), magnetic paddle shifters that made the shifting realistic and responsive, all of the buttons are conveniently spaced on the front of the steering wheel. One of my favorite things is the LED rev limiter which shows you when to shift right on the wheel as you see it in the game. The gas and brake pedal feel somewhat realistic giving some resistance but not too much or too little. I do feel they are a little small and close together if you have bigger feet like myself.
Everything is simple plug and play to setup with only three plugs and you’re up and running. Mounting it on your desk is quick and simple. If you decide to use it on pc, installing the software on pc it gives you a lot more options to setup just what fits your racing style.
Once in game and wheel in your hand you can feel the track as you go over rumble strips or bumps, the force feedback makes you feel even more immersed into the game. One of the best racing experiences now over using a controller for so long.
For the price you’re getting the best bang for your buck! I’d highly recommend it to others

Adds another level of fun to racing games. I connected this to my xbox and played forza with it. We had hours of fun racing around and using the steering wheel. It does take a little bit of time to get use to and can be a little harder to control the car versus a controller. Once you get the hang of it, it can be a lot of fun. Even novice players who do not like racing games had fun using the wheel.
Setup was very simple, just plug it in and go on both Xbox and PC. The clamp is very strong and adjustable to fit most desk/tables. We connected it desk to keep it stable. You cannot use this connected to a light table as the table will move around. The gas and brake pedals have a rubber anti slip bottom. We had the pedals on carpet, and they didn’t move around much, same with vinyl floors. It also can be connected to a racing game chair. Which will be one of my next purchases.
This wheel has a great build quality and seems like it could take some abuse while playing games. I do wish the buttons would light up as they can be hard to see in the dark. It is not hard to learn the placement and what each button does though.
Force feedback is not overbearing and would be good for kids and adults. I have used some other brands and the force feedback felt like it would snap your wrist or would get tiring to play. This setup is the right amount of force to make it fun but not make it feel like a workout. I also liked that the wheel even gave feedback when driving off the road and feeling bumps.
I think for the price and fun factor this is a great addition to an Xbox or computer. This would also be a great gift for a child or adult that loves racing games.

The construction of the wheel is great and the rumble action is absolutely perfect on how it adjust when the terrain changes from dirt/road/rocky. The buttons are solid and the pedal shifter have a great click when pressed. I also have to say there is very little (if any) input lag and it worked without issue on all racing games I tried. With all that said there are a few key downsides to the racing wheel for one the wheel is a tad on the small side so playing for extended times will definitely cause some pain in wrist/hands. Another issue is the gas/brake pedals they are too close to one another and it is also to small, so small in fact that it tends to lift up when you press the gas/break. You can adjust to this by slow pressing or slowly shifting from one pedal to the other but that really ruins the game play. The sad thing is these issues cannot be fixed since they are hardware issue. The wheel is a nice piece to show off and the rumble action is absolutely perfect but the issues with size makes it hard to recommend.

Racing games have always been my chosen genre of video game, but I always felt like I was missing something before I started using a racing wheel to play them. While it’s not likely that anyone will mistake this for a high-end unit, I do think that it targets the person looking to add an exceptional amount of realism to their gaming at an attractive price. This Thrustmaster wheel does just that.
Many entry-level racing wheels are not going to come with the same features that this wheel has, namely: Force-feedback, rev-counter LEDs, and magnetic paddle shifters; all which Thrustmaster has provided in this package. While the wheel itself is small and is just plastic (not leather-wrapped), it is packed with mappable buttons and even contains a red stripe to indicate when the wheel is centered (like a race car would have).
I’ve only tried this wheel with a few PC games so far, but it has certainly improved the gameplay in all of them. In Forza Motorsport 7, the added realism using this wheel made the game more fun and easier to play, as finer levels of wheel and throttle/brake response can be applied using a wheel, especially a wheel with 900* of rotation like this has. I’ve logged the most amount of gameplay on American Truck Simulator, where I can now (more) easily control the vehicles and have mapped buttons at my fingertips so that I don’t have to take my eyes off the road.
Overall, this is a fantastic entry-level wheel and pedal combo set. Sure, more features and better quality can be gotten for slightly more money, but for those looking to add realism and playability to their gaming, this unit fits the bill quite nicely.

—– SUMMARY —–
Verdict:
Thrustmaster’s T128 Racing Wheel delivers a fun sim racing experience with its excellent force feedback, responsiveness, and fully featured wheel design. It lacks some of the features of higher-tier racing wheels, like increasing force around corners, and it has a poor set of pedals. However, the T128 doesn’t disappoint when it comes to precise driving and force feedback sensations. If you’re looking for the best racing wheel, the T128 leaves a lot to be desired, but it’s designed to be an entry-level racing wheel, and for that, it’s a good choice.
Pros:
– Good value for newcomers
– Accurate force feedback sensations
– Engine speed LEDs on the wheel
– Responsive buttons and paddle shifters
– Sturdy desk/table clamp
Cons:
– Pedals are too small
– Entirely plastic construction
—– DETAILS —–
Setup & Design:
Using the included USB-C to USB-A cable, the Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel is compatible with PCs and Xbox consoles. There are three connections from the wheel base, one to your Xbox or PC, one to the pedals, and one to a power outlet. The necessary cables are included, and there’s a diagram in the quick installation guide if needed. The wheel base also has a mini-DIM port if you’d like to hook up compatible handbrakes, gear shifters, or other peripherals you might have. Near where the cables connect to the base, there are slots for the cables and a velcro strap to keep the cables tidy. The clamping system and screw easily twist into place, providing a sturdy hold on a table or desk. I appreciate that there are rubber grip feet that help hold the racing wheel steady and protect the surface it’s clamped to from damage.
The wheel automatically calibrates as soon as you connect it to a power outlet and your Xbox or PC. You’ll see a sudden rotation to the left and right before it stops at the center. With no other steps required for Xbox, it’s a plug-and-play experience. The only extra step for PC is installing the Thrustmaster driver and control panel app, which took me less than a minute. Whether you use the Thrustmaster T128 with an Xbox or PC, you’ll be set up and racing in no time.
As for the overall design of the racing wheel and pedals, they’re almost entirely made of plastic, and the wheel size feels a little small, but I understand that Thrustmaster had to cut costs somehow to get the T128 at its price point. Thankfully, it does the job, and Thrustmaster didn’t skimp on buttons (13 plus the d-pad), paddle shifters, or functionality. The engine speed LEDs are a nice touch, the paddle shifters are responsive and satisfying to press down, and the layout is ergonomic, with each of the buttons at close reach.
Where the Thrustmaster T128 disappoints me is the pedals. They’re very small and close to each other. Pressing either pedal (even gently) causes the base to jump up and start moving forward away from you. I’m using them on a carpeted surface, and I’ve found that the best way to use them is to put a rubber mat underneath. That at least makes them usable by keeping the pedals from sliding forward as much. If I could put them up against a wall, that’d help, but you’ll still experience the pedal base raising. There are two holes on either side of the pedal set, which allow you to attach them to different supports (sold separately), which might be the only effective way to keep them stable. It’s a shame that Thrustmaster missed the mark with the pedals because otherwise, the overall design of the T128 is great for an entry-level racing wheel.
Features & Performance:
After spending several hours playing F1 22 and Forza Horizon 5, I was impressed with the force feedback and performance of the Thrustmaster T128. The strength of the force feedback feels good for a wheel of this size and price point. The accuracy based on gameplay events, like bumps and track/road texture is also on point. You’ll feel curbs and the change from asphalt to grass which ups the realism of racing games. Where the force feedback is not so great is going around corners because the force is fairly static. With a higher-tier racing wheel, you usually feel the force progressively getting stronger to simulate the tires loading into the track/road as the weight of the car goes in one direction, then once it reaches the peak, the force gradually goes back down. Unfortunately, you don’t get that with the Thrustmaster T128. You just get a static force as you go around the corner. With that said, I was still impressed with the accurate sensations that elevate the racing experience over a standard controller. Thrustmaster is targeting sim racing newcomers with the T128, and I think they did a good job with precise in-game performance and showcasing the features of a racing wheel without cutting out any of the essentials.

Thrustmaster t128 is a good entry point to get into racing sims. The setup is fairly simple on xbox or pc (this particular model will not work on ps4/5.) You need to mount the steering wheel to your desk which is easy enough with the self grip included. Then connect the pedals to the wheel and run power to an outlet and a usb connection to your pc or xbox depending on the system you are playing on. Note if you are on PC there is an mandatory driver install you must get off their website to make it work.
The wheel feels good I tested it with Forza 5 and was happy with the controls and pedals. I wish the pedals were made of metal instead of plastic, but for the price point you can hardly complain. Everything felt responsive, I haven’t seen any connection drops or non responsiveness from either the wheel or the pedals. I like how I can bounce between PC and xbox with the same set of hardware that’s a nice feature that it’s not locked into one or the other. Don’t be alarmed if when you power on the wheel it starts spinning by itself this a self calibration feature that all racing wheels do.
Overall happy with the set and I’ll be zooming around the streets in forza in a much more realistic way rather than holding onto a controller in my hands.
James K –
hat a cool racing wheel ! Force feedback, Realistic pedal feel, snappy paddle shifters.
Overall – This is a blast to use. It has a quick release clamp to attach it to a table or desk that
mounts it securely. The foot pedals have a wide base to keep from being pushed around.
The feel of the wheel is solid, not cheap. The paddle shifters are nicer than two sets of
paddle shifters on REAL cars we own. What’s not to like ?
I’ve spent a week and a half using this mostly for PC gaming. Forza, Dirt Rally, Various Need for speed
editions etc . . . My only complaint is that most older games recognize it but the majority had no default
profile requiring me to set it up from scratch in each one. This is a new model and I suspect that within
a few weeks this will be addressed with default profiles for Steam / EA Games and Xbox PC gaming services.
Playstation 5 was a much smoother experience.
What I love –
Wire management thought out and strain proof!
STRONG force feedback, Realistic pedal and paddle feel.
Handbrake buttons on wheel ! – Important for Rally or drift style play.
Not so great –
No profile for / not recognized for game profiles on a number of older titles (will improve over time)
Supplied wiring OK for typical use PC gaming but living room scenario meant cord extensions !

This is an entry level wheel and pedal set and it’s pretty apparent. If you are just getting into gaming with a racing wheel, keep your expectations in check. Is it easier to steer than using a controller? Yes. But my biggest complaint with this setup is the pedals. They are hall effect pedals which is nice for longevity, but good luck using them. The small grip pads are inadequate and I’ve tried using them on various surfaces and they just slide. You could build a racing rig and attach them and they’d probably be fine, but if you’re going to do that you aren’t looking at entry level equipment.
It’s disappointing because the steering wheel is really not bad. It has decent grip and the shifters work well, with a good solid feel to them. I feel like the pedals are going to turn people off from getting into using racing wheels because if they start with this as their entry into it they’ll probably be disappointed.
Also the cables for connecting to your game console really need to be longer. I use a projector or 75″ TV and am forced to sit a lot closer than I normally do because the cables are only about 4 or 5 feet long.

The Thrustmaster T128 is a great entry-level force feedback steering wheel for the price, especially if you are looking at purchasing a setup for the kids in your household. The build feels fairly solid for the wheel itself but the pedals a little bit on the light side. Buttons are nice and clicky, the paddles have positive engagement and the force feedback felt stronger than I was expecting for the price. I’ve tried other budget wheels where the feedback felt more like a bashful suggestion than and actual forceful movement. I was able to differentiate different driving surfaces while racing but there isn’t much nuance. It more of a paved, off-road, or slippery feeling. The pedals work just fine but for my size 12 they are a little too close to each other. There are also no carpet spikes so they do slide easily but do OK on tile. The reason I see this more as a kids/young adult wheel is really just down to the size. The small wheel and close pedals were no problem for the kids in the house and the force feedback was more than enough to move the wheel while they gripped tightly. Setup was fairly quick and I do like the fact that it uses a standard detachable usb-c cable instead of a proprietary or hardwired cable like many other wheels. For the price I feel like you get a pretty good value.

I usually buy a racing wheel each console generation, but I hadn’t yet with the current generation of consoles (Xbox Series X, PS5). I am so happy that I waited as the Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel is a shining example of how to build a budget steering wheel. I’m currently using it with an Xbox Series X. Comfort is nice, build quality is solid, feedback is strong and fun. Overall there are few things to complain about here!
In the past I had purchased another brand of racing wheel, but the ones I had for both previous generations had felt flimsy, were cheap, and had broken down rather quickly. I decided to give Thrustmaster a try since I hadn’t purchased anything from them before, but have always heard good things.
Because this is a Xbox/PC racing wheel, the wheel has Xbox controller buttons which makes life a lot easier as most games will display the controller button. Many games have built in support like Dirt 5 and Forza Horizon 5. Forza is especially enjoyable as you get the engine speed LED lighting array at the top of the wheel delivering shifting information and a rumble that feels strong and fun. I will say that while the rumble feedback does feel good, it could feel better. It’s responsive, but I feel like it could be more precise. Maybe its sibling the T248 has a more precise rumble. The wheel itself feels great and has so much motion to work with in a game like Euro Truck Simulator. The paddle shifters feel fantastic and are one of my favorite parts of the wheel. The wheel has two handbrake buttons at the top in red, that are easy to access.
While most of my time with the wheel has been stellar, there are a few small nit picky things that I’ve run into. The wheel does feel a tad small, I do have large hands and am a larger guy so that’s more on me. The T248 is an inch bigger and may be more comfortable for you extra large hand folks. I mentioned how the force feedback could be stronger. Lastly, and this is more the developer’s fault than Thrustmaster’s, Grid Legends on Xbox didn’t automatically map the wheel so I had to go in and manually map all the controls. After mapping it still would only display button codes and not the actual xbox buttons.
Overall I love this racing wheel! The fit and finish of the T128 has left me extremely happy and confident that it will last the generation. Despite a few little nitpicky things, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a budget racing wheel for Xbox and PC.
Pros:
Excellent build quality
Great design that feel good on the hands and feet
Plug and play for many racing games on Xbox
Fun and useful engine speed LED lighting array
Minimal wiring with wire management built in
Cons:
Wheel and pedals are a tad small for me (6’ with large hands and feet)
Force feedback is good, but could be better

This is a great addition to our Xbox for the grandkids! They really had fun taking turns driving cars and trucks, but I think they enjoyed running over signs and trees more! We adults did take turns also and had a lot of fun using the wheel and pedals driving. We mainly used Forza Horizons to test but plan to use other games as we get more comfortable with the feel. Been using handheld controllers to long, so this takes a bit to get used to.
I also have a set from another brand that is a bit more substantial, so that explains the one start off! This set from Thrustmaster is a bit cheap feeling overall but is very capable. Our four year old twin grandsons really yanked on it and it handled their abuse very well. They loved driving (mainly in circles much of the time) but had to take turns with one steering and they other pushing the gas!
The buttons are ready to configure in the games and when it turns on, it centers itself so you are sure to have the wheel set correctly when you start. We didn’t notice any problems with keeping it centered while we spent hours playing it the first day. Forza had quite a few preconfigured settings, we tried several but never spent the time to get all the buttons working. We had enough to do what we needed and had a good time playing with it. I’m looking forward to many more game days with my son in law and the boys.
If you are looking for a decent wheel and pedal set, without spending to much, this might be the ticket. It is study enough to handle some abuse but doesn’t cost as much as other sets.

While playing racing games, I’ve totaled more cars than any Hollywood movie trying to steer with the basic Xbox controller. The Thrustmaster T128 totally changes that.
Setup is quick and easy. The table clamp works well holding the wheel securely in place and the rubber feet on the bottom on the wheelbase help protect the table top you clamp it to. Once all is plugged in and powered on, the wheel moves about fully to each end to automatically calibrate. There is a port on the base of the wheel to plug in optional accessories like an optional stick shift or hand brake. The included USB cables can connect to either an Xbox console or PC adding some extra value. When using it on the PC, Thrustmaster supplies a Driver and Control Panel app for download to your PC.
The wheel itself is smooth and responsive. The force feedback supplies helpful feedback to add to the realism. The magnetic paddle shifters are very responsive and the buttons on the wheel have good feel. The pedals are well spaced, have good tension and work well, the slightest pressure change registers instantly. Much better than others I’ve used. A string of four multicolor LEDS on the wheel hub works as a tach. A nice touch. There are also handbrake buttons on the wheel you can easily push with your thumb, great to put the car in a slide or pull a quick 180.
As an adult used to driving real cars, the wheel feels a bit small. More suited to children than an adult with large hands. The pedals arc down more than move horizontally as on a modern car. But its surely workable and a minor note, not really a problem. To get true to life sized controls gets very expensive, so what we have her is a good compromise.
The pedal box like the rest is plastic and light, which has advantages for low cost, shipping, and packing and putting it away at home. But being light the pedal box moves around allot on my thin nap carpet while driving. Ther are four rubber feet on the base (see picture), but they are small or smooth. They do not offer enough resistance on a hardwood floor to keep from moving with pedal action. They are even less help on a short nap rug. Larger rubber feet and more of them with a textured bottom or a rubber bottom would seem to be a tremendous help for the floor and perhaps the rug. The choice of a toothy textured bottom might help steady it on the carpet. There are some holes to mount it if you have a sim stand or cockpit. If your handy, perhaps a brace or heavy base can be fashioned in the workshop with some ingenuity using the holes to attach to.
With this controller, you get a real feel for how each car handles and where it breaks. I’ve owned and driven several of the cars in Forza and driving with the wheel brings back memories. I am amazed at how closely they matched the driving characteristics of some cars. Muscle memory kicked in a few times, it’s uncanny. You don’t get that level of feedback and feel with the Xbox hand controller. I am now rediscovering the driving game I kicked around and expect I’ll give them allot more use now. With the T128 I can zip around a track and through a pack of cars like I never could before with a confidence I never could have had before. The only time I crash a car now is when I push the limits and truly deserve it.
This entry level controller works very well and is a really good driving controller. I’ve had similar wheels in the past that used potentiometers to measure input. They were nowhere near as smooth and linear as the magnetic pedals are here and would drift and change their calibration. This is a big step forward.
Even with its small wheel, it is leaps and bounds ahead of a standard Xbox controller. I could never go back to that as I’m now spoiled. As an entry level introduction to what’s possible, or for some occasional driving games, it’s a great addition to a game setup. I’ve come to realize it’s essential to get all the value out of a driving game. However, something needs to be done to keep the pedal base from moving.
For the price, it’s a fair bargain and I surely recommend it, though you may have to work on keeping the pedal base from moving. If your budget allows a sim stand or cockpit would surely go a long way to improving the ergonomics in such a setup, and of course securing the wandering foot pedals.

I’ve had this Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel for a couple of weeks now, and after updating my PC with the latest drivers as well as my Xbox Series X, I was able to try the wheel with:
Forza Horizon 5
Forza Motosport 7
Dirt 5
After the initial setup and configuration on the settings of both machines, I was able to get the wheel working and recognized by both devices with no issues.
I didn’t want to use the dining table to mount the wheel, so I modified an adjustable shop table to hold the wheel.
Please note that when you attach the wheel to an USB port and the power, it will go through a self-calibrating routine, the wheel will turn fully in one direction, then another and finally it will zero out so that the red mark atop the wheel is pointing up.
With the wheel configured correctly, you can control all options via the buttons that are built-in.
The wheel itself performs well, providing force feedback of turns and terrain so that you “feel” the courses.
My only gripe is that the pedals won’t stay in place without further modification…
They are made of plastic and are entirely too light. Also the rubber dots don’t provide any significant friction. They do have 2 holes for mounting onto something else, which is what I’ll end up doing.
I tried on carpet as well as hard wood, and in both instances, the pedals moved so much that I had to pause the game several times to readjust.
Once you’ve found a spot where the pedals won’t slip, everything else performs well.
This doesn’t have a premium feel, but at the price, it provides much better control than handheld controllers.
Overall I am satisfied with the product and would recommend to a friend with the caveat stated.

It work how it should but don’t work for all games

My TMX wheel finally died after many years of use so it was time to upgrade.
Donald –
This is my first wheel, and I’m glad I went Thrustmaster. Super easy to configure, super easy to set up.
TKinslow –
For the money, this wheel did everything I wanted it to do. Decent force feedback and pedals that were smooth. however, within 2 months, it just stopped working. no longer recognized by xbox or pc. Which means I can’t update the firmware to try and get this working again. I sent it to Thrustmaster support and they had it for 2 weeks. I received it back yesterday and it STILL doesn’t work. No update from Thrustmaster on what they did and I just have a paperweight right now. I’m writing this down so others don’t get attracted by the cheap point of entry and get burned like I have. If you buy this, do yourself a favor and get the best buy extended protection(I didn’t) or spend a bit more and get the Logitech option.
MonkeDigital420 –
It’s an okay wheel, force feedback is nice. Wheel is kinda small though, and the included pedals suck.
NicholasB –
Box was really messed up when i got it. It didn’t even work fully inly the left pedal worked and parts of the steering wheel like turning 180 left and right the buttons didnt and the shifts didnt work either.
Jaesun –
Bought as a gift for my son’s birthday. Looks pretty cool for a entry level setup, but the pedals seem a little cheap. I’ll update once he opens it and sets it up
RobertM98 –
The FFB is actually really nice on this, coming from a g29 this is way better its kuch quieter and is more “detailed”. The only flaw to this is maybe the pedal set as its deadzone is cpuld be better but otherwise than that you can get very fast on this wheel.

I am pleases with racing wheel. I am not a hardcore racing gamer but occasionally play racing games that are on Gamepass. I was looking for a reasonably priced wheel with force feedback and this fit the bill. Has worked well on Xbox Series X and PC.

It needs to be anchored to work well. My boys prefered the controller.

All I needed was a round deal to crank on while playing pretend race cars. Approved!

Awesome product! I would definitely recommend buying this steering wheel if like the feeling of force feed back during your driving game play. It feels like a real car.

This is a great starter wheel. Force feeback is only 2nm but depending on sim very dynamic. Its a hybrid gear/belt and is less noisy than most gear driven wheels. Pedals aren’t great, but functional.

It seems very solidly built.
Really good feel and feedback on the steering and paddle shifters.
Easy setup.
Overall a really good wheel at a very reasonable price

Fits perfect in my table, great grip and feel of the wheel it self. I feel good feed back and response time is accurate

The wheel is really good. The only problem with the set is the pedals are of lower quality and slide if your on a hard surface. Overall it is a good starter wheel i do recommend upgrading the pedals eventually though.

Good wheel love that it had very high rotation haven’t had a problem with it, brake and pedals slide so recommend a wheel setup or something to stop it from moving

Overall a great wheel. The feedback is great, the software does what I need without being overbearing. However the USB cable and the cable from the pedals to the wheel were a little short for my desk setup, and this wheel is actually too new for some games to even detect it, which isn’t the fault of Thrustmaster but it’s something to be aware of if you have a specific game you’re buying this for

Love it the wheel is a lil small but the feedback is solid. Would definitely recommend for someone just getting in to Sim Racing.

Bought this as a test to see if I liked racing sims. It is made of plastic and is fairly easy to setup. Overall a good purchase for the price.

I signed up for a membershi think 5 years ago and an employee went to go. Change my address and I move to a new state. So why do you want for update my new information? I didn’t realize that my old address and stuff was still in as a default and I-ship my. Equipment to someone else out of a ton of misconstrued thought processes and talking to 11 people over the last 16 days.
Hopefully they will refunding. The money so I can move on

Great little project. I made a housing and stand. Before I made that I had it mounted to a coffee table, then a stool. If you don’t have something good and stable to mount it to it’s tough to use and vibrates everywhere.

We love it! For the price it’s perfect. Our oldest is 13 and youngest is 8 and they both can handle it just fine. We set it up against the desk so the pedals don’t slip. It’s easy to get used to but takes about a day to get comfortable. Perfect for first timers.
