loved the amount of force available for the price, but for people who use it on their desk and not a dedicated setup, constantly unplugging the cables causes connectivity issues and thrustmaster has terrible customer support, when i lost my power cable my only option was to buy a random power adapter after lots of research, instead of figuring out how to ship the replacement cable from the UK to the US as only the UK website has a replacement cable. will probably go logitech if i got another cheap wheel, but most likely i will be saving up for a fanatec

Feels very premium and the force feedback is nice. Wheel isnt too loud and the pedals feel great. There was a slight squeak with the pedals but I tightened them to the base I have and it went away.

Amazing wheel. After 40hrs of racing with the wheel I feel much more control of the car. I use it for F1 the most and GT7. I highly recommend this wheel.

Firmware Update

I’m reasonably sure it would have been good if I could have completed the firmware update. It does not accept updates with Mac devices. Only Windows computers can be used. Attempted to get the Geek Squad to complete the update. Very frustrating experience with attempting to talk to anyone at the store’s Geek Squad. I ended up returning the wheel.

So far its' worked amazing for me, no issues with setup; and every game I've tried with it so far has no issues at all. Love the display for adjusting wheel settings too, really comes in handy if you have different settings you like to use for different games

Wheel is amazing, My first wheel ever and I’m highly impressed . Wheel feels great on the hands and pedals also feel amazing . Brake pedal maybe a bit stiff at first but it needs to break in . Plays perfect for all games . Current games played with Assesto Corsa , GT7, Forza and Need for speed . Will highly recommend for a beginner.

Really good wheel with strong force feedback. Not quite as smooth as some of the high end wheels but can't beat it for the price point.

For myself gaming for a while I’ve always wanted to use something like this. I got it for my brother as a gift but even then its amazing how realistic they make it work. With the clutch pedal and all.

Ok wheel, some quirks

This wheel is pretty good, but I’m not blown away yet. I may need to update the drivers. It seems quirky. Sometimes the PS5 recognizes it and sometimes not. Also, the buttons almost seem to randomly change assignment mid race. The wheel is hard plastic unlike the leather on the Logitech. However, the rim is fat, which I like, so it feels better to turn than I thought it would. I do feel the gearing (or maybe it’s cogs in a rubber belt?). Ironically, one of the reasons I didn’t by the Logitech was because I hate feeling the gears. The pedals on this are very nice. The brakes are nice and stiff. I have this mounted to a GTR cockpit. Because the brakes are so stiff, I don’t know how you would keep the pedals in place without a rig to mount them to.
I haven’t used the wheel a lot because I was waiting for my cockpit. If I resolve the button assignment issue, I’ll provide an update.
