Thustmaster T300RS Great wheel and perfect for my requirements. Well built and great that I can add my Ferrari F1 SF1000 add on wheel and other Thurstmaster add ons
Excellent wheel let down by a couple of design issues I bought this to replace my old faithful Logitech Formula Force. I chose this because you can swap the wheel. Not something I’d do often, but I mainly drive F1 so I envisaged having an F1 wheel at some point.
I am impressed with the belt driven mechanics. Much quieter and more accurate in feel to the Logitech I had before. The wheel feels solid and is well built.
There are two major flaws and a minor one (imo)
The first major flaw is the pedals. They’ve got a terrible grip system on them and they absolutely will not stay in position unless something is behind it. Which leads me to my minor gripe…the shape of the top end of the pedal base. It’s slanted. So anything you put between the wall and the pedals in order to try and get them to stay in place…the pedals simply work their way under after a while.
And finally my second major gripe…the clamp for the steering wheel. It really is poorly designed. I don’t know how many times I scrape my knuckles because the clamp shape doesn’t give much clearance when tightening the clamp…and it doesn’t really, properly clamp it. Like the pedals there’s still some movement.
I would have given it 3 stars but for the excellent build quality and feel…so it just scrapes a 4.
Great wheel but… First off, I should say I couldn’t decide whether to give this wheel 4 or 5. Ideally I would go for 4.5.
It is a brilliant wheel and feels awesome racing with it. I’d raced with a controller before and cannot say enough how much better using the wheel is to race with. The FFB is strong and general experience is 5 stars.
So why 4? Drops a star due to sporadic ghost button pushes and loss of connection. Seems a fairly common problem for PC gamers such as myself. Every so often you’ll get random button pushes (despite not pressing it myself). Example being glance left/right, change view or pausing. Or pressing glance left but getting no response. That said, it does seem fixable: I had it a month ago, tightened up the screws on the wheel face and the problem went away. Only to come back yesterday. I think it’s caused by the vibrating and shocks coming from the FFB that causes the connection to break loose (yesterday had a very bumpy race in AC and it started again) but once you stop, tighten up the screws, it’s fine again. But, for the money you spend, I’d expect something like this not to happen.
That said, overall it’s a good wheel and enhances your experience massively.

Very high quality wheel The wheel is great and very easy to setup. Could potentially do with being larger to add to the realism though as it is fairly small for adult hands.

Great wheel that takes sim driving to the next level. Update: I originally left a review stating that the wheel doesn’t work with PSNow however it is only when streaming the game does it disable the wheel. If you use psnow to download the game the wheel works perfectly.
The wheel also works flawlessly in ps3 mode on the pc. Singing in to Xbox game pass let’s me use the wheel on Forza too which is the main reason for buying the wheel.
It's one solid piece of equipme In my own humble opinion, this happens to be the best investment I’ve ever made, when it comes to racing wheels. The look and feel of it is very pleasing and in-game handling is as realistic as you could get at this price point. It’s not the most expensive wheel on the market and certainly not the cheapest but you really do get what you pay for with this device. I bought mine back in 2017 and is still performing as good as the day I got it. Feedback is amazing in comparison to all the legacy wheels that came before it. Now you really can feel the bumps and the loosening over puddles, jumps, etc. Combine again with VR and the experience is jaw dropping.
Overall I must say I’ve never regretted the purchase. I’m so proud of my ‘trusty Thrusty’ 🙂
Pedals and the 240v AC cable directly into it. Steering wheel is great but the pedals that come with is the most worst pedals I’ve came across.
You press the pedal and it moves over the place and it’s really got a nasty dead zone.
Fortunately I’ve ordered the t3pa pro because I wanted the clutch as i got the H-shifter.
I don’t really like the way Thrustmaster went and made the power supply built into the base of the wheel and the cable is live 240v AC directly into it. And i am aware that you can buy a external power supply, but that’s just clearly asking for more $ Please don’t be like

Service Brilliant product, works amazing with project cars on the PS4. For customer service, faultless. I purchase the product and it arrived with 24 hours when amazon had told me it’ll be a week. Brilliant all around!

The service was unbelievable prompt. The product is exactly as expected and it enables me to enhance and expand my driving experience throughout the games.
Good wheel .rubbish pedals Bought the Thrustmaster t300 RS. The wheel it’s self is pretty good . But the pedals are rubbish , no feel and mine has developed a noise on the brake pedal . Don’t know why thrustmaster would develop a wheel and put those pedals with it . Get the t300 with the gt pedals or buy the t3pa pro if u can afford to .

Great wheel - shame about the pedals I cannot get enough of this racing wheel. If you love racing games and you’re thinking about getting a force feedback wheel, just do it! I’ve spend hundreds of hours with this over the past 6 months and it’s genuinely the best money I’ve ever spent on video gaming.
Knocked a star off because the pedals really don’t live up to the quality of the wheel, you’ll probably find yourself having to mod the break pedal specifically to add some more resistance but the wheel itself is epic.
