Thrustmaster T248 - High-Performance Racing Wheel and Pedal Set with Force Feedback for PS5, PS5 Pro, PS4, and PC

Got this as a gift for my fiancé and he was so happy. He absolutely loves it. The buttons are nice and tactile. Pedals are a little stiff but they might wear in with use. He says the wheel motor is "impressively strong" and gives good feedback.

I brought this as my last T248 has stopped working, probably worn out. Ive spent hundreds of hours on the PC with this.Many other reviews have said this is not good anough for racing simulations. But l use this for Euro Truck Simulator 2 And l cannot fault it.I thoroughly recommend this steering wheel for PC & PS5. Very good pedals & many programmable buttons. It had force feedback which is very good.This was dispatched very quickly & arrived well ahead of the given date. Love it.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago to replace my aging T150 whose paddle shifters are starting to fail internally.It's decent, obviously not on the same level as your Fanatecs and the like, but I'm pleased with it. Feels a bit smoother than the T150 did, but fundamentally similar. The extra buttons and encoders are welcome.You can definitely tell where it's been built down to a cost. It's quite lightweight (not much of an issue because you'll obviously be attaching it to something stationary) and feels a bit plasticky, but the bits where you actually hold it are padded with a kind of leatherette stuff and feel fine in use.LCD screen is probably a bit of a gimmick, not much use in Gran Turismo 7 as it just shows stuff that's already on the HUD. You can use the LCD to see the motor temperature (and this time there's an onboard fan to keep it cool), adjust the FFB strength and degrees of rotation etc, as well as switching it between PS4/PS5/PC modes, so it's not completely without purpose.Comes with the new T3PM pedals. They feel good although I haven't really used them enough to say whether they're better or worse than the T3PA pedals I had before. The brake feel is a bit different because it's a different physical design - doesn't have the conical rubber stopper behind it but just a couple of swappable springs and deformable rubber washers. I've set it to the strongest action (supposedly equivalent to 200kg of braking force although I don't know if I actually believe that).One big negative when you first use it is the paddle shifters. They're of a different design than the T150, which is presumably on purpose because as mentioned, the older design was prone to internal failures. They feel and work fine but the problem is they are INCREDIBLY loud and clacky. People online have come up with various ways to quiet them down. I've gone with a simple hair elastic looped around each one, other people have used adhesive-backed foam strips or even wadded paper. It's amazing to me that it ever made it out of the prototype stage as it is - it really is unacceptably loud - but at least it's very simple to solve it without affecting the operation of the shifters.If you use a Playseat Challenge, there's a couple of M8 mounting holes that line up perfectly with pre-drilled holes on the Playseat wheel plate. So you don't have to use the included clamp system (although that does work mostly well enough by itself).The pedal base also has mounting holes. Again if you have a Playseat Challenge, the hole spacing is perfect to attach to the pedal rails using four simple P-clips and M8 bolts. You'll have to offset them by an inch or two to one side but this makes no difference in practical use. The clips and M8 bolts/washers are not included but are inexpensive and easily available on Amazon or at any hardware store.Overall I'd recommend, especially if you can catch it when it's on offer. Just don't be put off by the clacky shifters as there are reversible/non-destructive solutions to make them acceptably quiet.

My 8-year old son wanted this set after getting the Gran Turismo video game. I wasn’t sure if this would be age appropriate as he’s still quite young. It turns out he loves it, and has become a pretty good driver.It was quite easy to fix to a table.I like the fact that we were able to adjust it to right / left handside driving.

Really nice wheel on PS4,ps5. On pc like other wheels is the setup for games is a bit frustrating, that's taking nothing from this wheel though. Force feedback the feel and smoothness is a thumbs up. The price I paid is well worth it and I would recommend this wheel to any gamer who likes racing . The pedals are also second to none a definite plus also.

As a sim racing enthusiast I have used a lot of wheels. I can say with confidence the T248 is definitely the best wheel in it's class. It uses a belt and gear system offering strong force feedback and smoother action than other wheels that just use gears alone. The pedals included are pure quality. Offering precise movement and the brake pedal can be adjusted to offer a stiffer response when pressed down. Overall a great package

Contacted thrustmaster and all they do is tell me to do the same thing over and over which I have explained doesn’t fix it. I just want a repair or replacement but they aren’t interested so I guess I will have to go to trading standards. BUYERS BEWARE

Let me start by saying my current wheel is a Logitech Driving Force GT from 2010 (I use it with Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals - which are excellent by the way). So I was not expecting the last word in power and feedback from the T248, coming from what I believed was a low bar in the DFGT. I think everyone would agree a DFGT is a low end wheel - it was £100 new! I expected the T248 to at least match the DFGT given the price and the way Thrustmaster market this as “powerful, realistic and versatile force feedback”. However my main reason for purchasing was the PS5 compatibility, rather than an expectation that it would be much of a wheel upgrade.Unfortunately that bar has now been lowered by the T248… This experience below is with the latest firmware. With force feedback on the wheel set at level 3, and the settings in Gran Turismo 7 set to maximum feedback/power, there is very little going on in the hands. I couldn’t feel lock ups, understeer, power oversteer; there’s just a general lack of weight and feel everywhere. It’s really not a lot better than player with the PS5 controller.Thinking it was possibly just GT7, I tried the T248 on Assetto Corsa Competizione on PC - a game I have played for over 125 hours with the DFGT. I used the latest windows driver and bumped the force feedback to maximum through the driver. Within ACC’s wheel settings the maximum force feedback gain setting I could use without clipping was 75% - the same as the DFGT. Experience in ACC was better than GT7, but again the communication back to you about what the wheels are doing just isn’t there. The force feedback I feel is definitely less than the DFGT, and as said the realism is severely lacking. Feels like the capability has been way overstated in the marketing. A real disappointment so I am returning it.
