Welcome to the ultimate exploration of the world of Thrustmaster sim racing.
As a seasoned expert in the sim racing community, we understand better than anyone the complexity of choosing between different models. In this in-depth guide, we'll take a look at the pros and cons of the most popular Thrustmaster racing wheels so you can make the right decision for your ultimate racing experience in 2024.
For those looking for an entry level model with force feedback, the TMX offers excellent value for money. It's an affordable option without too many compromises.
Cons:
❌ Plastic Pedals
❌ Not compatible with other Thrustmaster add on wheels
❌ Steering wheel feels a little cheaper
A small disadvantage of the TMX is the use of plastic pedals, which do not offer the same durability as the Thrustmaster TX bundle or the T-LCM load cell pedals (metal version).
Compatible with Playstation 4, Playstation 5 and PC
Advantages:
✔️ Works with Playstation
✔️ Plug and Play
✔️ Very affordable
✔️ Has Force feedback
✔️ Comes standard with paddle shifters
For those looking for an entry-level Playstation with force feedback, the T150 offers excellent value for money. It is an affordable option to start your sim racing adventure.
Cons:
❌ Plastic Pedals
❌ Not compatible with other Thrustmaster add on wheels
❌ Steering wheel feels a little cheaper
A small disadvantage of the T150 is the use of plastic pedals, which do not offer the same durability as the T300 RS GT bundle or the T-LCM load cell pedals (metal variant).
Compatible with Playstation 4, Playstation 5 and PC
Advantages:
✔️Realistic Force Feedback
✔️Strongest Force feedback in this price range
✔️Very precise pedals in this bundle with counter pressure
✔️Price
✔️Compatible with the entire Thrustmaster ecosystem
✔️Durable belt drive system
The T300 RS GT Edition offers impressive force feedback, works with all Thrustmaster Add on steering wheels, pedals, and shifters currently on the market. Making you 100% future proof and guaranteed an immersive sim racing experience.
Cons:
❌Pedals are plastic
❌Force Feedback fading after +/- 60 minutes of driving at maximum power
A downside is the force feedback fading, which you do not have on the T-GT 2.
✔️Comes with Hand stitched leather Add on steering wheel
✔️Very precise pedals with counter pressure
✔️Price
✔️Compatible with the entire Thrustmaster ecosystem
✔️Durable belt drive system
The TX Leather Edition, like the T300RS, offers very impressive force feedback and works with all Thrustmaster Add-on steering wheels, pedals, and shifters currently on the market. Making you 100% future proof and guaranteed an immersive sim racing experience.
Cons:
❌ Pedals are made of plastic
❌Force Feedback fading after +/- 60 minutes of driving at maximum power

✔️Currently the best Thrustmaster wheelbase for Xbox
✔️Hall Effect AccuRate Technology for extra precision
✔️Uses metal ball bearings
✔️Just as smooth as direct drive steering
✔️Compatible with the complete Thrustmaster eco-system
By using the patented MCE (Motor Cooling Embedded) cooling system, this Thrustmaster wheelbase is not affected by heat at all and therefore does NOT suffer from fading.
Cons:
❌High Price Range
❌Only works on Xbox and PC
❌Force feedback can be too powerful for small children
A possible stumbling block for some is the price, which is on the higher side. However, for the serious sim racer it is well worth the investment.
Compatible with Playstation 4, Playstation 5 and PC
Advantages:
✔️A unique patented system that provides extra effects in GT 7
✔️No problems with Force feedback fading
✔️40 Watt brushless motor
✔️Currently the best Thrustmaster wheelbase for Playstation
✔️Just as smooth as direct drive steering
✔️Uses metal ball bearings
✔️Compatible with the complete Thrustmaster eco-system
In our opinion, the T-GT 2 is the best Playstation steering wheel on the market. With the unique and patented T-LIN, T-DCC and T-DFB systems, this wheel ensures that you feel the vibrations of the race track in your complete sim racing setup in Gran Turismo 7 (almost comparable to a buttkicker)
Cons:
❌High Price Range
❌Only works on Playstation 4, Playstation 5 and Computer
❌Force feedback can be too powerful for small children
A possible stumbling block for some is the price, which is on the higher side, but in our opinion this wheelbase is the choice for the serious sim racer.
