Customer Ratings & Reviews

I added the Thrustmaster T248R Racing Wheel and Pedals to my setup to get a more immersive racing experience on PlayStation 5, and it completely changed how racing games feel. I'm a big GT player and this was so fun to add in! Coming from a controller, the difference was immediate. The force feedback is detailed and responsive, letting you feel road texture, curbs, braking pressure, and when the car starts to lose traction. It makes every lap feel more engaging and realistic. The wheel itself feels sturdy and well built, with a comfortable grip that holds up during longer sessions. The button layout is easy to learn, so I was able to focus on racing instead of hunting for controls. The built in display on the wheel is a nice touch and makes it easy to adjust settings or see key info without breaking immersion. The magnetic pedals are a standout. The brake pedal has a solid, progressive feel that made braking more consistent and controlled, especially when pushing hard into corners. Setup on PlayStation was quick, and everything worked right away. If you are looking to step up from a controller and want a racing wheel that feels immersive, responsive, and fun, the T248R is an excellent choice.

I remember being a kid and some of my favorite memories were going to my local arcade and playing the latest racing games. There was nothing like the thrill of gripping a steering wheel and using the pedals to control the car. So I was genuinely excited when I got my hands on the Thrustmaster T248R racing wheel. The first thing you notice when you take it out of the box is the build quality. Even though it's mainly plastic, it feels very sturdy. The clamp holds it firmly in place, and the pedals have a satisfying heft with good resistance when you press them down. Overall, the build quality is highly impressive. Setup was also easy—just a couple of cables connected and the wheel clamped to my desk, and I was ready to go. If you're using it on a PC, it works right out of the box, but to unlock all the features, you’ll want to download the software for the wheel. Once I was up and running, the experience was awesome. The wheel is incredibly responsive, and the pedals feel resistant without being too stiff. Everyone in my family wanted to try it—even my kids, who are usually glued to their tablets, came over and had a blast. If you enjoy racing games and want to make the experience more immersive, I definitely recommend getting this wheel. It’s very well built and performs amazingly.
