Have an F125 racing league with some buddies and this was the perfect wheel for my PS5. The “direct drive” works great and the setup was easy

I'm genuinely impressed with this product! I moved from a PS4/5 TM80 to this. To say Night and Day difference is an understatement. This is arguably the best bang for the buck when considering direct drive wheels (no internal belts). The pedals are... the standard pedals, nothing super special there; but they do what they're supposed to do. This rig is all about the wheel!

I really like the wheel base. It's responsive and has enough force feedback to translate what the car needs to communicate to you. It's a 5 star wheel base. Why 2 stars? Because Thrustmaster has promised Load Cell pedals for well over a year that have never materialized. Learn from my expensive mistake -- don't believe 'available soon,' only 'available now.'

Coming from a t150, this feels so much better. 5nm constant torque, but able to boost higher to give those nuanced feelings of kerbs, and bumps with opponents. Paddles feel nice and have a solid thunk when activated and stop when activated instead of travelling further like most other wheels. Gear jolt feelts awesome, especially when connected to a full rig where it jolts the whole rig. The pedals are metal and able to be removed from the foot plate for full customization, and easy mounting to rigs. While its just a traditional brake pedal for now until they release a load cell pedal upgrade, i already feel more in control and am getting better lap times than even with the t3pm set my friend has. If youre wondering wether you should buy this or not, you should stop thinking, and just buy it. You eill not regret your purchase. The main advice i have, once you buy it, go to thrustmasters support page for the bundle, and it has all the settings, game adoption, how to update, specs and measurements, it has all the info youll need to set it up and get the best out of it and they are constantly updating it.

After waffling around on a first wheel for mixed PC/PS5 use, I ended up deciding to spend a little more vs a G923, and I'm glad I did. This thing is awesome, and makes GT7 on PS5 and ACC on PC loads more fun than using a controller. Preset levels are handy for when the kids want to play.

I enjoyed this product the steering wheel felt good, I paired it up with VR2 Crazy gameplay

This is a great wheel and everything seems to be authentic I don't know how to update firmware and I also struggled to learn the wheel in the game F1 2021 which is great. I'm starting to get the hang of it now and I have all winter to learn more. It is a learning curve for a rookie and retired.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend, he loves it. It’s quite similar to driving a vehicle. And I feel like it would be great for beginner drivers, before getting on the road.

Motor is great, Size is very Bulky and Tall for what it is, Pedals feel great but not heavy enough to not slide on carpet.

It's a great wheel for someone who is upgrading from a g29. It's my first direct drive wheel. It helps you feel what the car is doing better. Only gripe is no load cell brake pedal. But i hear it's on the way.

This is an amazing wheel especially when you consider the next closest competitor is $300 more and you get more in the box with the thrustmaster. GT7 optimization leaves a lot to be desired but time will hopefully make this no longer an issue.

Best Racing wheel for PS5. Great response and Force Feedback.

Great wheel besides disconnection issues do to power supply issues Other than that it’s perfect.

Great setup!! Use it for sim racing on PS5 and its really responsive and great sensitivity made me feel as I am inside a car pushing limit on track.

Great up grade for any one looking to get into direct drive

Very solid driving wheel for its price category. The build quality feels very premium and driving in it feels nice and tactile. Its likely worth its price premium but always good to get on a sale or open box.

I honestly wish I never bought the Thrustmaster T598. This thing has been nothing but problems since the day I set it up. The base constantly disconnects mid-race, the brake pedal randomly stops working, and calibration is all over the place. I’ve power cycled it more times than I can count just to get it to register anything. It works one minute and completely dies the next. Thrustmaster support hasn’t helped at all. They sent me a replacement power cord months ago that did absolutely nothing, and now they want me to ship the whole thing overseas for repair. Seriously? For a product bought in the US? This is supposed to be a premium direct-drive base and it performs worse than cheap wheels I’ve owned in the past. For how expensive this setup is, the reliability is absolutely unacceptable. I’ve invested in multiple wheels and accessories for this base and now it’s basically unusable. Save yourself the headache — I would NOT recommend this to anyone. Total waste of money.

This was my first direct drive wheel and I couldn't be happier with it. I bought this over a month ago to use with my PS5 and would absolutely buy it again. The price is much better than Fanatec's PS5 option.

Based on playing GT7 on PS5 - Pros: Smooth handling and gear jolt provides fun driving experience. Easier and more casual to drive than belt drive, making sessions longer/less fatigue. Good value as a beginner set. Nothing under 500 seems better. Cons: Wheel cannot keep it straight itself and the oscillation is very bad at high speed even with Updated firmware and trying all intertia/friction settings. Wheel feels cheap and feel the need to spend more. No vibration in the wheel when compared to GT7 tuned belt drive (T-GT II), makes less realistic during driving.

Best bundle package for your money! Highly recommend if you’re a serious sim racer.
