Sim racing is expensive . Finding the right wheel is agonizing. Especially with stipulations on what platforms they can be used on. And having bought two wheels prior wheels before, getting one for PS5 was yet another headache. That said, this wheel works, and more than delivers in doing the job.
Overall build quality is great, including the pedals, which can make or break any wheel. The wheel is rubberized at "10 and 2", while the top portions are have a great matte, textured finish. The pedals have excellent resistance, but lack anything to keep it in place. The steps for getting the wheel to work on PC should be streamlined. Took about an hour as the first installation did not work, but it works on PC. It does not work with Game Pass, however...(Sim racing + compatibly restrictions + money = ( -_-).
Notable mentions
1. This is a force feedback wheel. To simulate real driving, the wheel will turn on its own during play. It can be weird, but can be adjusted or turned off on PC by adjusting the "Overall Strength" forces to "0" in the Control panel. Force Feedback is meant to be part of the experience, however. For consoles, it is on a per game basis.
2. This wheel can go a full 1080° degrees. For the price, that is a nice feature.
3. For PC, switch it to PS3 mode. For console, switch it on PS4. The Playstation button directly above the Thrustmaster logo is how you activate the wheel.
Overall, or a starter wheel, this a great buy.

I was looking for wheel that could work across as many systems as possible. This one came the closest without breaking my wallet. I enjoy racing games on both my PS4 and Hyperspin arcade. I upgraded the standard 2 pedals with a 3 pedal setup and added the shifter. Together with a driving rig, I own a driving arcade that works on all my racing games. The force feedback is reliable on PS4 and the ability to play arcade classics like Crusin' USA on MAME on PC is the absolute best. The TMX wheel works on Xbox One, but I only own Forza 7 and haven't purchased that wheel yet. Love my T150!

The force feedback is terrific, super easy to use and my PS4 recognized the pedals and wheel without issue. I'd say it is a good value at this price point, seems to be sufficiently robust and has all the features needed for racing sims. The package combines to make for a very immersive sim experience. I've combined it with an economy racing stand and an old flat screen TV on a budget table.

The wheel itself is great. Very responsive. Works perfectly with the PSVR. The pedals are great, except they are kind of close together. They have a little cheaper plastic feel, but work fine. You might want to weight them down or mount them. When I’m driving hard, the pedals sometimes come off the ground.

I paid $200 for this racing wheel after reading many reviews about this type of controller. I like the looks of this specific brand but it has it's short comings.
It is made entirely of plastic aside from the shift paddles, which gives it a very generic feel. It looks WAY better in pictures.
The mounting clamp already broke after only four uses, it is made of plastic! I started to regret this purchase at that time.
I made due with the broken mounting system and brushed it off as clamping it down to tight, UNTILi realized that the shift paddles were starting to rust right through the paint!
This unit had not ever seen a spec of water as it only has ever been inside it's own box and my living room. Where the rust is coming from I could not even speculate.
Aside from the issues which make it nearly unusable, it happens to be a very responsive controller with plenty of force feedback. In fact, the wheel has ripped itself out of my hands a few times.
I took a leap of faith and bought this controller based on other peoples feedback. Obviously all the reviews I saw were from before anybody actually spent time with this cheap piece of overpriced trash.
Do yourself a favor and save up a little more for the Logitech then thanks me later.
Best Buy seems to sell some shady merchandise.

I bought this wheel to use with racing sims in VR using the Oculus Rift, and it works great for its intended purpose. It lacks some of the polish of the more expensive Logitech racing wheels, but gets the job done, feels sturdy, and comes with pedals. It took some tweaking to get it to work correcly with Assetto Corsa, but once configured, it gives good control, useful force feedback, and gives more immersion in the game, as well as being easier to use than a standard game pad.

Good steering wheel, with force feedback and pedals for under $200. I'm a novice in the sim racing world, but I did alot of research and found this to be the best budget beginner wheel. Best Buy was the only once to carry it in stock near me and they even had it ready for same day pickup. Dont bother with a wheel that doesn't provide force feedback, if your a beginner, this is the one!

I purchased this wheel to use with Forza 7 on PC. Set up was very easy and straight forward. The wheel works well, with plenty of force feedback and very little lag. The only issue I have had is switching from Forza 7 to Horizon 3. The settings that I have in 7 don't cross over into Horizon, so I have to reconfigure the wheel each time. I am not blaming the wheel for this, it's just a hassle. Other than that the wheel has a good feel to it with metal paddle shifters and a nice texture. The pedals are adjustable and need to be plugged into the wheel. Plenty of wire is provided.

This wheel is fantastic for its price. Force feedback is excellent. It makes Gran Turismo Sport a much more enjoyable experience playing it with a wheel instead of a controller. Only downside is the wheel itself is not removable to upgrade with a different wheel. The stock wheel feels fine though so it really isn't necessary. Also found out the T3PA pedals that came with the TMX Pro setup for the 1X will work with this wheel so that saved $100 not having to buy the T150 Pro. Overall an excellent wheel for the price.

I've been looking for a wheel to use on my PC for awhile. I found this one on sale at my local Best Buy for under $150 and with rewards, had a final price under $125 - a great deal for a wheel and pedals! This is my first steering wheel, so I don't have much comparison, but I've really enjoyed using it so far. The only thing I don't like is that it seems a little noisy when turning, especially when turning quickly. It self-centers pretty well. I also really liked that it came with a set of pedals. There is no clutch, but my main game (Farming Simulator) couldn't use one anyway, so it's fine for me.

After weeks of research, I came to a conclusion to buying this wheel. I originally was saving for a g29 or a t300, but I wanted one NOW so I grabbed the T150. Works great for me, FFB is pretty decent, after tuning the wheel for whatever game you're running. I purchased this to play Dirt Rally™ and it helped tremendously. Since then, I have purchased every ps4 game that involves driving! It's addicting though, already eyeing the t500!

I bought this wheel to replace one of the old RUMBLE FORCE wheels that wouldn't calibrate anymore. This thing is awesome in comparison to the old one. I mainly do simulators like ats, NASCAR heat 2 and ets among others. It works great!! In the NASCAR game, you can tell how loose or tight your car is based on the force feedback it puts out. Love this wheel. I will say it makes a little noise here and there but I expect that with non top of the line wheel.

I am totally blown away by this wheel. Most places have it for $200 but I got it here at best buy for $149. I would have been happy to pay $200. This wheel is great. The force feedback is amazing. I couldn't go back to playing with a controller now. Project cars with this is amazing and don't even get me started on how sucked into Drive club vr you get when you use this wheel. Well worth the money.
