Thrustmaster T300RS GT Steering Wheel Set – Premium Force Feedback Sim Racing Wheel & Pedals for PS5, PS4 & PC | Realistic Driving Simulator for Sim Racing

I have been looking for a wheel for the past year and a half or so for my PC, as I wanted to get into sim racing. I was trying to decide between two other wheels before finally deciding on the T300RS GT wheel. I will be breaking the review down into the three individual components, the T300 wheel base, the T-3PA GT Pedal Set & the GT wheel which came in the package. T300 Servo Base: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- My first impression of the servo base was that it was a solid & well built. The T300 servo base does not come with an external power supply. In lieu of an external power supply, the T300 has a built in power supply, along with a cooling fan. There is a power cable, with a strange four tubular connections that come in the package. I am not sure if this electrical cable is proprietary to thrustmaster or if one is readily available at home depot or other home improvement store. The T300 has a dual belt force feed back system. This makes for a smoother, less noisy force feedback experience, as compared to those with gear driven system. From what I have experienced so far, the force feedback is very good. The force feedback not only let's you feel the "weight" of the race car, but also the bumps on the track, that you would otherwise not feel without any sort of force feedback. The package also came with a mounting clamp, should you want to clamp the wheel servo to a desk. It also has mounting holes, should you want to mount the wheel servo on a sim rig, although you would have to source the screws, as thrustmaster does not include screws for this purpose. The desk clamp is a bit finicky to get on, but once on, it holds the wheel servo securely to the desk without the servo wiggling/moving. T-3PA GT Pedal Set =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The T-3PA GT pedal set which comes in this package is also very solidly built. The pedals have thick plastic arms and an internal metal structure, while the pedal themselves are made from a solid piece of brushed metal. Again, the pedal set that comes in the package has mounting holes on the bottom, should you want to mount them in a sim rig. The pedals are heavy enough to where they do not move around on a plastic mat, which I have set under my computer desk. The only time the pedals move is if I happen to jam on the brake or accelerator suddenly. The pedals themselves feel great underneath your feet. Doesn't take a lot of force to even start braking or accelerating, but these settings can be adjusted in the thrustmaster control panel and in individual sim settings. GT Wheel -=-=-=-=-= The wheel that comes in the package is the GT edition wheel rim. The wheel is made of metal in the middle, where the electronics are housed) encased in rubber around the rim. The shifter is made from either steel or brushed aluminum. Again the rim is solidly made. The rim has thirteen buttons, all configurable in whatever sim you like to play. Unfortunately, thrustmaster does not have an app to where you can program your buttons to the way you like them like logitech does. Conclusion =-=-=-=-=-= Since I bought the T300RS GT edition, it has increased my enjoyment of sim racing as well as truck simulator (Yes I am a virtual trucker). I still ask myself how did I survive playing racing/driving sims on my PC with an xbox controller. If you are looking for a good beginner/intermediate wheel for the sim racer and you have the budget, go with the T300RS GT edition. You will not be disappointed, I sure wasn't.

I'm very happy with my T300, though I wish the housing wasn't quite so large. Taking off the top cover it looks like a lot of space could have been saved with a little effort on Thrustmaster's part, making the odd housing much easier to accomodate for in a dashboard build such as my own. Instead, I needed to carve my dashboard in order to fit the T300. I suppose I can't complain much on this part, but if there's onething I'd change; this is it. The ability to swap wheels is very nice, but as I change between a circle and F1 wheel often I wish the connecting collar was metal instead of plastic. As you must insert a screw into the collar in order to secure a wheel to it, my collar's screwhole has become just a little loose; causing concern. Functionally it still works and I haven't felt that one of my wheels is going to fall off or wiggle around yet, I'm concerned for the future. The software suite that Thrustmaster uses is one of my favorites, and I've not had a detection issue with any game I've tried as of yet. The wheel, all of its buttons and switches, the pedal inputs and the shifter are all on the same page of the suite. Comparitively, Fanatec devices require a different configuration page for each connected device which is frustrating at times. I didn't like the T3PA Pro pedals at all and opted to use Fanatec CSV3 Pedals instead. The Thrustmaster's software suite still picks up on the Fantec's inputs and shows them on the configuration page with the T300; which is very, very nice. I also use a Fanatec CSS1.5 Shifter, which also works on the Thrustmaster configuration page. Neither fanatec devices can be connected to the wheel, which isn't a complaint, but an observation; which is why I was surprsised to see them show up in Thrustmaster's software. I've tried a Fanatec Clubsport base + wheel configuration and found the force feedback to be a bit stronger, but strangely not as smooth or precise. I'm very happy I decided to go with the Thrustmaster instead, and the ease of using other hardware with it makes me very happy. The T300 is also significantly cheaper than a Fantec wheel setup, although not quite as customizable. I'm alright with this, as I feel the majority of users won't want to change their wheels out often (or even own more than one). All in all, I'm very happy.

I've replaced my old Thrustmaster T150 with this T300 and the difference is huge. With this wheel I can feel more feedback from the car and I can be much precise than before. I've improved my lap times and I can consistently make similar times. I recommend this wheel and it will be a great upgrade if you are coming from a T150.

We had to buy twice because we didn’t pay attention to the power and burned it 😑

The wheel is really good. It works well, it was packed well! The quality of the wheel is outstanding. I had both Logitech G29 and this one, comparing two of them I would pick Thrustmaster, due to the belt drive and smoothness. (If you are okay with the price.) Quality of Alcantara is really good, but try to use gloves with it. Otherwise the leather will wear off in the future. It's the same with real Alcantara on the real cars. Happy with the purchase.

It blew up as soon as power went on it was purchased brand new now it's smells really bad 👎

Researched a lot of different wheels in this price category. This one checked the boxes for quality of force feedback and build design. Have run 200 hrs. Sim rcn Nascar 25 with no overheating or clipping. Lap times and quality racing is only gotten better. Highly recommended.
