Perfect wheel for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Must buy for any entry/mid level PC and PS5 player. There is no better option than this direct drive wheel for $500. Do not consider Logitech G29 or G293, they can’t be compared.

Good Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the t300 and the t598 and I like both for different reasons. The t598 had more detail in the road textures and the gear jolt was really nice. I also like that you can edit the car without going back into the game due to the edits being done on the direct drive since it has a on screen panel. One thing was I never felt the weight of the vehicle only when going into turns. The t300 is better and more natural feeling but your lacking the bells and whistles of the road detail. Good product for the price

Great Racing Wheel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far really enjoying this set up. Make sure you get a cockpit strong enough to handle the torque this wheel puts out or will shake your whole setup around. Pedals are nice also. I’m am very happy with my purchase!

Darn Good Wheel
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having been a sim racer for almost 15 years, using the Logitech G27, G29, Turtle Beach wheel and finally the T598. While the G27 was always a great wheel by Logitech. The G29 sucked. Turtle Beach, well, that was a play toy for Xbox or Playstation. But this Thrustmaster T598, you can "tune" it a lot more than any other wheel system I've had. I'm still getting used to it and learning what it can and cannot do. For the price, I've very satisfied.

Epic DD wheel
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Huge upgrade over my t300rs. Definitely need to upgrade the wheel rim and pedals but the wheel base is a 10! Works like a champ with my TLCM pedals and EVO 32r rim!

It's ok
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a good wheelbase. I do wish it had more power but it gets the job done. I moved from a T-GT II to the 598 and power wise it was not worth it at all. It's not any better at all, however where t does out do the T-GT is the speed and fidelity it delivers. The wheel rim works but feels cheap. I have multiple others so not a deal breaker, the pedals are ok but I have T-LCM pedals so again a nonfactor. If you already have Thrustmaster gear the base is decent for PS5.

Nice upgrade from T300RS
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m coming from a T300RS GT Edition , I'm primarily a console user. Rig is GT Omega Titan. Updating the firmware is a pain due to lack of instructions. Height of the wheelbase had me nervous. After a few tweaks to my setup, everything is set up super ergonomically, The 45” LG curve monitor is the right height for me, and the wheel is at the right height and angled perfectly. Really impressed with the wheelbase. This thing is solid, has a nice weight to it, and the form factor has grown on me. So far so good!!!

Undocumented firmware update workaround
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: A huge upgrade from my very old Logitech wheel. Cons: Motor makes a whining sound and vibrates the entire time it's on (even when no game is running); cogging is not completely eliminated. The only gotcha to be aware of is the firmware update process using My Thrustmaster Panel often stalls at "Checking for boot mode." The undocumented workaround is to REPEATEDLY power-cycle the wheel (while holding L3 and the Gear button) until it gets unstuck. Mine took 5 cycles, just keep trying.
