Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, it’s a great option for casual and intermediate racers who want a reliable wheel without spending a ton. The only cons is that i had to update firmware with a pc, the unit is a bit bulky, and the stock wheel is not pretty.

Beats the absolute heck out of my G29. Very strong, fast, and quiet. Petals could use an upgrade, but are really well built. Only issue I have is it constantly slightly vibrates when turned on.

Bought this for my husband’s Christmas and I may never see more than the side of his head until one of us dies or his console does. He’s having a ball!

First DD wheel here, and gotta say I'm pretty impressed. More feeling and feed back than ever before, the torquebis enough to make it fun but not break a thumb or wrist IMO. Great product for the money!

It is very easy to install, is resistant and has good finishes. A little big and would improve the location of the buttons. An update is needed to install the third pedal

Great wheel and the price ! It has completely changed my experience with GT7

I like the experience I get with T598, its a great upgrade from my T150 Thrustmaster wheel. I only have it for a few weeks. So, so far so good. CJ

A perfect price for a direct drive wheel. For my first DD wheel, I’m impressed. It’s a little taller than expected, but worth it. Happy with the purchase.

Really enjoying this wheel from thrustmaster. Coming from a g29 this is a big upgrade. The firmware update was quick and easy but you do need a PC. I play soley on PS5 and with using the recommended settings on the support page i get strong and detailed feedback. Another thing i really enjoy is how quiet the wheel is, its near silent with some electrical whines and chirps.

Works wheel for beginner sim racing f1 and also gives good feedbacm

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my son. To say that he ABSOLUTELY LOVES this racing wheel would be an understatement. He an actually asked for a different one but after doing some research I found this one to be even better than the one he wanted. Of course it was more but it was for CHRISTMAS!!!

This direct drive wheel has much more force feedback than the Thrustmaster T248. When mounted to a wheel stand the vibration when shifting feels great. Turning is incredibly smooth. My only knock against it is some of the buttons being difficult to reach, but that's more of an issue in the menus than it is when driving (in Gran Turismo 7 at least). Would highly recommend to anyone on PS5 upgrading from a gear/belt driven wheel who doesn't want to spend $700 for a Fanatec DD wheel or $1300+ for a Logitech DD wheel.

The steering wheel combo is the best no complaints. Besides set up was a little confusing.

Very solid product with great force feedback. Only suggestion is to make sure you you update to the newest firmware before connecting to your PS5.

I’m coming from G923 and I like how much more responsive the T598 is. I can correct my mess ups much more effectively and prevent spin outs (I am not that very good and only race single player). I can definitely feel the weight of the wheel around corners. I tried GT7, ACC, Wreckfest, and Dirt 4 with a few different settings on the wheel. I liked the FFB-2 setting the most on the wheel. It was in D (Default) at first and FFB in GT7 felt very light. Overall, GT7 felt the weakest compared to other games I tried and least optimized for the wheel, which is sad - as that’d be the game I’d use it the most. That said, it didn’t have the oversteering issue I have on G923, and I didn’t have to correct myself all the time. That is a huge plus. I have also tried Moza R3 a couple months ago and I did really like it. I played Forza Motorsport 8 on it and again Dirt 4, and Forza Horizon 4 & 5. That one sells for $100 less and it’s around 3Nm. But, that’s only XBox and I like GT7 more than FM8 at this time. And Force horizon doesn’t work too well with wheels in my opinion. It seems to be more made for controllers. Lastly, the mounting holes on the wheel base and the adapter TM provides doesn’t match up with my Insignia wheel stand (basic wheel stand). In summary, despite the short comings, I like the T598, and in many aspects it is a good upgrade to G923 (~$300), and it has great potential. But it’s a shame Thrustmaster and Polyphony has not optimized it for GT7 BEFORE they released this wheel- since PS5 has very limited direct drive wheel options.

It works well when it works. It’s powerful for the price. Biggest issue is connection issues and the cords for it are very cheap.

This wheel is a great upgrade from any of the logitec offerings at best buy!

Believe it or not, this improved my racing skills. I went from an older/competitor wheel/pedal set and instantly improved as the feedback and realism makes it better to understand what's going on in GT7. Having issue getting the firmware to update using my PC but not sure that's a T598 issue. If you do not have a solid rig to mount this on the torque makes it challenging. When I replace that I am certain I will be even faster in the games.

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 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.'
