    I'm giving this wheel 5-stars because of the quality and price point. Comparing this to the Logitech G923, the direct drive is far superior. Shifting pedals are much more realistic while you give up a little with some plastic on the wheel, this is an awesome mid-tier set up. The pedals have a great amount of adjustments from height, to resistance. Once installed, it does work with Dirt 2 on PS5 straight away.

    I dont gave experience with any other DD and apent a long time going back and forth between the popular brands and torque strengths. In the end I settled on this wheel. The 5.5 Nm is more than enough to get the feeling without fighting the wheel. Force feedback is supposed to be just that, feedback, not an arm workout, so i feel like it does the job with very smooth efficiency. The pedals are adequate, being that its thrustmaster i am sure they will make a addon for load cell in the future. The set was a great addition to my sim rig and the thrustmaster shifter completed the set so i can use it for PC and Console.

    I;ve had this wheel for about a month. I upgraded from a Logi g29. This wheel requires a little more set up that the g29. But once you have it dialed in it's amazing.

    Very impressive! Highly recommend (especially for PC, and now probably the best option for PlayStation) I was very surprised by the power, feedback, and most importantly the smoothness of this T598. Perfect for racing and drifting! This is far superior to a G29 at a similar price point and most definitely worth the upgrade!

    Great steering wheel that really allows you to feel the car and the springs from the gas pedals help control the gas pedal as well. Great product.

    Products needs some updating. Tends to run a bit warm while using. Updating firm ware has become a task. Even downloading the app no update pops up yes there is an update 2.07 currently. Mine is running 1.83 still a value easy to use.

    Pedals are a bit too close together but good for bundle price. Wheel itself is a much better (bigger) size than the g29 and smooth movement. It has a feature that creates force feedback whenever you shift up or down using the paddles and it is a really cool immersion feature! I like this better than Moza R5!

    Best wheel Ive ever used and yet it only costs a little more than a mid tier wheel like the T300 despite being twice as good (easily) Works amazing with GT7, just make sure you update the firmware of the wheel.

    Significant upgrade from the old gear driven wheel and the included pedals were a nice surprise for their quality and functionality. Installation process was step-by-step with clear instructions that made it the simplest tech install I've ever done.

    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.

    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!

    Paired with Gran Turismo 7, the feedback and pedals allow for much finer modulation of throttle and brake and ‘feel’ of driving, adding in a psvr2 turns racing into a more intense experience that at times can turn races into a feat of endurance, the only downside is Hall effect sensors rather than pressure on the pedals for the price point

    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.
