Too much for a beginner
Using on my XRocker XR steering rig btw. Now, I will not return this tho, because it is indeed a high quality material with a short circumference that has slim leather cover on the wheel. Out of the box it was a little tricky to set up because of the little screw right behind the wheel that is there for tightening the roller screw to fasten the wheel onto the drive engine. Wheel could be abit larger but I am happy with it since you can remove it and replace with a newer one. However, this wheel is too much for a beginner and too expensive for a beginner as well. It does 3 full-rotations each direction which is too much for anyone that doesnt drive a real life car. Transitioning from a regular controller to this will take practice and patience because this is a good experience but it isn't that chilling unless you turn force feedback off entirely for your new experience. I have played GT7, DriveClub, GRID Legends, GTA 5 with controller so far and I am used to that. So, the experience is indeed overwhelming at first try with the wheel. I played Gran Turismo 7 on PS4 and City Car Driving and GRID legends on PC with this wheel. It is a difficult experience on PC to play on older games like the city driver one because PC calibration can be quite difficult especially since some games have way too many inputs that cannot even fit the wheel. So, you might need to manually add the buttons yourself to the game butbthat might not be enough. However, the wheel support is full on GT7, Grid Legends on pc has no force feedback but it does work fully in terms of button input range pick-up. It does however also feel expensive because it feels incomplete without a handbrake and a shifter for £350+ price tag. I am sure that thrustmaster will not disappoint in-terms of longevity of the product. However, if your budget is shorter, pls go for this but used from CeX or just go for a cheaper wheel from this company as you might not be able to use its full potential for a while. The feedback is indeed very good for a beginner experience. Keeping it at 50% torque is more than enough. However, if you wanna drift then I recommend keeping Force feedback off else you might go off track uncontrollably.Also, your wheel might have an issue switching from PS to PC mode when you slide the switch. This is because you need to power off and power on the wheel again or MAYBE use the 2.1 USB port instead of 3.0. Would have been better tho if the wheel just increases torque resistance at a certain degree to reduce the need of full turns for games to invite a more effective beginner experience. It is a good product tho, goes well with XRocker XR rig from Argos and I will soon buy the shifter and the handbrake too. You might not need shifter as much as the brake. Pressing the buttons on the wheel for handbrake is not really an effective experience.The cable also has a pipeline for ease of routing to the exit. The brake pedal also has a resistance... material in for of a steel which you can attach to it in order to add more resistance to it (which I dont use yet but might be useful for GT7 braking). The pedal foot contact casing can also be readjusted up or down. I am happy, I just hope it lasts a few years. Enjoy your wheel if you got it! It will certainly last and you definitely wont need anything more expensive than this at all.

Pretty awesome starter wheel
It has stronger force feedback than I expected, I had never used a sim wheel but can definitely feel the bumps and wheels losing grip (depends on the game of course). It was really easy to set up and get working. I do recommend looking up some FFB settings videos and trying a few out until you find one you like. The wheel feels nice and quite heavy for it's size, gives a quality feel in the hand when playing and is a very nice size for racing. The buttons are good too, feel a little bit more wobbly than a PS controller but they work fine and are in a nice location to access most of them while racing.The pedals are ok, they look a bit cheap and plasticy but feel strong underfoot. I tried the conical brake mod that comes with it but I think that just shortens the brake travel and makes it harder to trail brake, best to stick with them the way they are out the box.Most importantly, my lap times have dropped by about 6 seconds compared with using a controller at Monza (previous best was 1:54 in a Ferrari GT3, now it is 1:48, after a month or so of playing ACC with it). Really can't recommend enough, it has made sim racing way more fun for me and I think I'll get years of use of it.

Awesome entry level wheel!
Very pleased 😊 out of the box it feels decent quality. A note to anyone using it on the pc download the drivers of the thrust master website 👍. Overall very surprised on the feel of the wheel on f1 23 it’s brilliant you can set the feedback to highest and the feel is very good over curbs when the car bites. Asetto corsa well on the t300 this game makes the wheel shine! Super impressive feel the curbs you can even feel the car lift when you push it to much. It’s pretty rubbish on forza but will play with the settings to make it more realistic.Bassically if your thinking of buying it vs the 923 then do it won’t disappoint and at 300 quid it was hard pushed to warrant an extra 160 for a Moza r5 for me anyhow but perhaps in the future moza may be in the menu.

Great steering, let down by the brake pedal
If you've done your homework on this racing rig, you'll have heard this before.The steering feels great, the quality of the build feels very good but the peddles are a bit annoying.Mostly it's the lack of carpet grip which I've had to solve buy placing things between the pedals and the wall to keep them in place.The brake pedal lacks any feel and has taken a lot of trial, error and mods to get feeling predictable under braking. Still not ideal but it's OK for the price.I can highly recommend the wheel but would check out other pedals.

Great wheel for taking things more seriously with your driving
Really good set, a big step above a Logitech G27/G29 - and easily comparable to, if not better than, an old Fanatec combo from 7 or 8 years ago.The wheel is comfortable, the button layout is logical and easy to reach (good for VR) and the shifter paddles are solid, and have a nice click.The Force Feedback is smooth, and strong on high settings, plenty for everyone. The foot pedals are nice, if a little basic, but with a good action, and nice resistance.I had a G27, until inherited a Fanatec set for PC, but haven’t used it in a while. I bought it this for my PS4, to race with friends online, and was surprised how good it was - so I ran the old Fanatec again to compare and it’s very similar, if not slightly less smooth, and I know it cost over £800 when new. The T300 pedals don’t quite beat the old set, but again, they would’ve been several hundred pounds on top of the wheel. When the T300 can connect to PS4 and PC so easily, and switching with ease, for this price it’s a no brainer.For anyone upgrading from a beginner set-up, or considering spending more on a different belt-driven system, this should be near the top of your list. Unless you’re wanting hyperrealistic direct-drive feedback for a motion-sim VR rig, I would argue this is best value for money.
