Thrustmaster T248 Racing Wheel & Magnetic Pedals for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & PC – Hybrid Drive Force Feedback, Magnetic Paddle Shifters and Interactive Display

Before buying, be aware that: 1. You’ll want to have Windows 10/11 on a PC, even if you’re an Xbox gamer, so that you can download essential firmware updates. Do not overlook this, even if it means bringing the wheel to a friend’s house to perform the update. As long as you have a Windows computer, it is an easy update to perform. 2. It is well worth experimenting with the built-in FFB settings (1, 2 and 3) so you can have a great set-up for the driving feel and responsiveness you want with minimal in-game tinkering. 3. On console, you have to go with Thrustmaster accessories if you’re going to add-on an H-Shifter or handbrake, so look those up and keep that in mind if you think you’ll want to upgrade your setup. It’s the same deal with other manufacturers like Logitech—accessories have to be from within the same ecosystem unless you’re playing on PC. That said, it is tough to beat for the price. It has a good amount of torque with its gear/belt hybrid system (you’ll get far less if you settle for the gear-driven T150 or Logitech G923), and configuration through its digital display is convenient, especially as settings carry from game to game. It is not perfect, especially as it bugs out like everything else on XSX from time-to-time. However, it is an overall satisfying wheel to drive, and will probably make you want to own a full-blown sim rig at some point in the future.

Easy peezie install, nice but cheap feeling all plastic steering wheel makes noise when you squeeze it cheap..

It’s a decent starter wheel, but for a little bit more you can get a much better wheel somewhere else. Mine broke within a year and the customer service team is little to no help to figure out a solution

At first I regretted buying it. The default settings for Horizon 5 were abysmal. It made every car undrivable. I went to sleep thinking it was all a mistake, but after some quick research the next day, I changed the settings within the game and wow!!! What a difference! The force feedback on this wheel is quite something. It truly needs to be experienced to understand how immersive it makes racing games feel. It feels very accurate to whatever terrain you're driving on and to whatever objects I'm hitting or crashing into. However, if you are about to hit a car head on, you will feel it before it happens (millisecond) which is a little strange The feedback also changes depending on the vehicle I'm driving. The LCD display on the wheel can be customized to display whatever you like. I prefer RPMs which will blink when it is time to shift. I find this to be the most useful reading for racing about. The paddle shifters are necessary for emersion. They have a nice tactile click that some reviewers complain as loud. I have the surround sound blasting, so the entire experience is already loud. I don't mind it. The shifts are fast and precise. The pedals feel nice and have an appropriate amount of feedback and response to pressure. The brake pedal seems a little on the stiff side, but you get used to it. I do believe the spring in the brake pedal can be changed. If you're thinking about buying this, do it. This completely changes the experience of racing games for me. I can ever go back to a controller ever again.

This wheel is a great upgrade from the older TMX I had. I love how all of the connections are detachable and hidden underneath the wheel base itself. I was initially surprised at how small the whole wheelbase was when it first arrived. However, I find the smaller size does not mean it lacks power. It has a modern feel and does not feel cheap. However, the included pedals are extremely stiff in their default configuration plus it seems as if the response is also not as great as my older T3PA pedal set I have.

Got this for my son. We had a blast playing together.

It’s fantastic, essentially brand new only cheaper.

While this wheel is decent for beginners plz know that the rotation speed of the wheel is very slow it really works against you when drifting or when you lose grip it doesn’t know what to do and you don’t either since the wheel is always behind by 2 seconds I’d highly recommend something else like a Logitech g29 or g920 or fir a little more go fir the best wheel on a budget the t300/tx those are much better options the only things that was worth it when it came to this bundle is the pedals there fantastic but I’d honestly buy them separately and get a t300 or tx without the set of pedals with thrustmasters h shifter and get an Amazon e-brake perfect beginner setup this set up tho is not great its slow rotation ruins this wheel compared to other wheels not to mention there’s a dead spot fir force feedback when the wheel is straight and 10 degrees in either left ir right and is noticeable and can mess you up once I’m a while

It is a great wheel works right out of the box on pc tested it on Euro truck simulator 2,le mans ultimate ,Asseto corsa competizione and f1 25 works great don't know how it performs on ps4/ps5.only one thing I am not happy about it is the packageing it came as one side of the box has a giant hole and the top cover was also falling overall the product inside works well but packaging could improve and it its value for money recommended 100%

Writing the review after 6 months purchase. Amazing experience, steering vibration feels good when it come to speed.

La caja perfectamente sellada, sin golpes y entregado en dos días antes de la fecha que me dieron 10/10 Muy buen producto, y lo mejor son el No. de botones, la pantallita y los pedales, razón por la cual deje mi G920 a un lado, simplemente no hay comparación con este T248. cualquiera que tenga un G27, G29, G920 sabe el fastidio que es tener que abrir la base de los pedales para limpiar los potenciómetros o bien reemplazarlos, yo lo hice dos veces y no me quedaron más ganas de jugar con ese volante por el tema de "es que se va a fastidiar y hay que abrirlos, o Ya está fallando otra vez"... Sé que es más caro, pero al menos para mí ese fue el motivo más fuerte para haberlo cambiado aún cuando mi G920 aun tiene para rato, ya el tema de la pantalla y los botones extra del T248 es un plus brutal, en verdad no hay punto de comparación. Los materiales aun cuando tienen el aspecto de ser de calidad más baja en comparación a otros productos de la marca, no te encontraras con rebabas o partes mal ensambladas, tiene calidad, las sensaciones que ofrece son muy muy buenas, el juguete de logitech no le llega a este volante, sólo tienes que saber ajustar los valores del FFB y Fuerza de volante etc... por que hay quien dice que a mitad de la curva se pierde la sensación, pensaba lo mismo y ajuste valores desde el mismo volante y fue una sorpresa muy agradable, no te fíes en reseñas de cualquiera que veas en YT Los únicos juegos que no logre jugar con el volante fueron Assetto Corsa (El original), y Forza Motorsport 7 quizá me desesperé y no supe como configurarlo (lo intentaré mas adelante otra vez), pero con Assetto Corsa Cometicione, Automobilista 2, RaceRoom, American truck y Euro Truck Simulator 2, F1 2021 el volante es una brutalidad, maravilloso. pero en cada juego hay que ajustar los grados de giro según el desarrollador. nada grave y muy fácil hacerlo desde las opciones del volante, en 2 segundos lo ajustas. Es una gran compra! aún cuando me salió más caro. (una semana antes de que lo compré estaba a 7,600 y fracción).

Wow this is really good! I can get a better lap time around my favourite F1 tracks. Pedals are accurate and you can adjust the break feel pedal with the stiffer spring that's included. The steering wheel is nice to touch and the display works well with the game.

Muy buena calidad, mi primer volante... Transmite muy buena sensación y el forcefeedback es perfecto para el costo del producto. Juego Forza Motorsport 8 y me va muy bien, se siente increíble.
