    Adds a whole new dimension

    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

    Well made wheel, good feedback, and tactile button clicks. The wheel is plastic, but seems to be higher quality and durable. Only downside is the price, I feel it is still too expensive for what you are getting.

    Amazing wheel for the money.

    It does require a firmware update to work on PC, but the difference between this and a Logitech G923 is night and day. Super smooth, quiet, and allows you to fine tune it from the wheel base. I was worried about it working with Forza Motorsport, but the game recognized it and all the buttons work perfectly. I don't know how well it works on Playstation, but on PC it is all the wheel you need if you want to get serious. The pedals are also much better than I expected. The brake is easy to modulate, and the accelerator is just right.

    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.

    Spend a little extra.

    Don't buy gear driven or belt driven and spend 350. For 500 you get direct drive that's smoother and will last a lot longer.

    Good wheel but needs alot of tweaking, the out of box firmware was barely usable with the base constantly disconnecting. Updating requires a windows computer

    The wheel and pedals have worked flawlessly out of the box on both PS5 and PC. If you want entry level direct drive then you really can’t go wrong.

    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.

    Best entry level rig

    Good entry level rig. Torque feels good, pedals are a solid for an entry level rig. I ended up upgrading to the rs50 but this is still a really good choice and would still recommend. The wheel feels a little cheaper than the rs50 but thrustmaster has better upgraded wheels. The paddle shifter has a nice crisp feel, and although the wheel feels like rubber, it’s very comfortable and good without gloves

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
