The Thrustmaster T128 comes well packaged in a relatively small box. In the box you will find: the quick installation guide, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate code (valid for new Game Pass Ultimate accounts only), the steering wheel; pieces to mount the steering wheel, foot pedals, AC connections and cords to connect to your device. The Thrustmaster T128 can connect to a PC, Xbox One. Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. I connected this to a PC.
Set up was very easy and took only 10 minutes. You need to download drivers for PC. You mount the steering wheel to a firm surface and clamp it down. The steering wheel has the following features:
- Engine speed LEDs
- Two magnetic paddle shifters
- 13 action buttons
- Settings button (direct configuration of the product settings)
I used this to play Forza Horizon 5 and Asetto Corsa. It was just like driving a car. You feel feedback in the steering wheel. For example, if you spin out. The pedals are plastic but work well. They get the job done. The paddle shifters are firm and work very well. Using this setup was more fun than using a controller.
I rate this product 5 out of 5 stars for the reason for the price and functionality. This is a great entry level steering. Other steering wheel packages are much more expensive than this option. I recommend this package. You will not be disappointed.

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!

The wheel is great for your first wheel purchase. Definitely a game changer. I have had bad experiences purchasing from both best buy and thrustmaster,not this product.

I bought this thinking it would be cheap and bad but works pretty well and it is lasting but ofcurse not as good as a pro wheel but it gets the job done

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

The initial assembly wasn't that difficult, it took about 10 minutes to get the parts put together and attach the cables. The steering wheel has a cheap plastic feel to it as do the buttons. The pedal system had a good feel and the pedals have a nice resistance to them when pressed.
The first small issue i dealt with was the clamp system, be sure your table or desk does not have a wide ledge or lip because if it does then chances are the clamp will not fit. The cables are not long enough in my opinion, you will need to sit directly in front of you gaming system becaase the cables don't allow for more that 4 feet of slack.
The connection to the xbox itself was VERY FRUSTRATING and TIME CONSUMING. The wheel calibrates when connected to the xbox and the buttons function but the steering wheel does not register. I tried connecting to Forza 5 and it did not recognize a controller attached. I finally downloaded firmware updates and using my computer updated the steering wheel. I was able to connect it to the xbox and it was recognized and functioned but there were more issues. The feel of the steering wheel and pedal resistance is nice as it uses a magnetic design but the xbox series x kept losing the signal- the xbox failed to recognize the wheel and the gameplay would stop. The cables are connected properly, the latest firmware is updated but it will not work properly. The same issue persists, it works and then randomly stops.
It caused me alot of grief and it isn't worth the trouble. I will not be enjoying this steering wheel even though i had high hopes.

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.

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. Its not the wheel its all about whos driving the wheel that count's
