I really like this wheel, its not super bulky but works very well. The break pedal is pretty stiff but once i mounted the pedals that didnt bother me at all.

Bang for the buck. Really good entry level wheel, although sim racers may prefer higher level wheels, this is a good way to see if sim racing is for you

Big this for my son. I want that impressed with it, it gives you the feel and vibration like a car... ( For a simulator)... But the handling doesn't match. Will keep and try to adjust....

Horrible!! Box was so beat up. I opened it and the wheels and pedals were wrapped in a massive plastic bag not meant for it. No instruction manual, and was missing all the wires and power box! Do not order from Best Buy. I took it to store to get a refund and the guy that works there says it cannot be refunded because it was ordered online and I have to contact the manufacturer. He probably thought I was the one who took the wires. I had to return this to UPS now I have to wait months to get a refund... The next day I went to the same Best Buy store and bought a brand new LOGITECH G923 because I knew that would be guaranteed to be NEW and not some used repacked stuff that they consider "New". Save yourself the headache, buy from Thrustmaster website, not from Best Buy online. This is the second time Best Buy online shipping has gave me used stuff. Absolutely disgusting. You have been warned.

Not a fan, upon opening there was maybe the 1st page of the onstructions that said something like "for a list of games this is compatible with go here..." red flag. Its only compatible with 5 xbox games. Do your research.
The list of compatible games include: Assetto Corsa, Dirt series, EA Sport F1 Series,WRC Series, Forza Horizon series, Forza Motorsports Series, Grid, NASCAR titles to name a few. You can check the full list of compatible games by following the link below. https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/product/t248x-en/

A Very Good Racing Setup

This racing wheel and pedal setup from Thrustmaster is one of the better ones I've ever seen and used. The wheel portion is not very heavy and easy to setup on your desk (or stand) with thoughtful additions like cable guides to help keep everything nice and organized the pedals are a bit on the heavy side. I'd recommend either putting against a wall (what I did), place it on carpet, or attach it to some kind of mount. The gas pedal is easy to use but the break pedal requires a bit more force to use which can make the pedals slide on a hardwood floor.
Setup out of the box just requires a tad bit of elbow grease to physically set up the components then an installation of the required drivers. Once that is done you're off racing. I was using F2021 for my testing and it worked fine.
The steering wheel has excellent force feedback, a very nice paddle shift option, a LCD display for things such as gear or speed, and enough buttons to make anyone happy. While there is leather on the steering wheel it's only on the outside portion of the wheel and plastic on the inside. To me it's a bit of a distraction but I got over it after about an hour of using it. The paddle shifters have a good feel to thing with a rather audible "click" when you shift gears.
The pedals have a very solid feel to them. The pedals have a good feel when accelerating and braking. A spring is included if you want a "harder" feel to the brakes. See my earlier comment about placement if you want the brakes to feel hard as this more than anything else made them slide on the floor before I just pressed them up against the wall under my desk.
One potential downside to this setup is how much plugging of cable to make this work. If you do more racing games than any other type of games just leave it mounted at your gaming PC. After a couple of setups I got it down pat but it can be a pain to take down and put back up.
Overall, this is a great little racing setup!!!!
